Reset III - that will be worse than lockdown II.

Lining up my toys along the edge of the pram in anticipation...

Groundhog is 28 away from bagging me 100 profit 👌👌

I’ve managed another 1.2 miles today! Everything for the next 90 days for me is an upward trend and aiming to try and get at least 50 miles in in November. I know it’s not loads but slow and steady and all that!

:) hopefully it helps a few people :)

Quick question.

Have any of my investors held onto me for any real time? If so, what's the profit so far?

It's a bit (a big bit, today's run was awful) of a struggle at the moment and I'm looking for any extra motivation I can get. Pushing for the 100 profit is one thing that might help.

I'd be interested to know what FergusG thinks of the commission - it didn't appear to slow him down much pre reset. I wonder whether a same-day-purchase-and-sale ban might be an interesting variation?

(For example: if you buy a 500-point runner before they do a half marathon, you still net 8 credits on a same-day trade, so it doesn't stop much, just slows it down a bit.)

I’ve had a sell off to collect my 100 point gain and 2,000 point badge but managed to keep a few long term investments who haven’t got their 100 gain badge yet

If you are a longer term investor in me, probably worth selling as I’m sure I must be 100 up from 6 months ago

The previous commission fee caused me to hold onto runners who were expected to net me another profit in the next day or two. It definitely discouraged me from the current cycle of selling morning-runners to free up funds for afternoon-runners.

Once you amass enough credits however, there's no need to sell static or slowly-rising players to free up working capital. The current system does however encourage traders to sell players before any drop-off occurs at midnight, so the temptation to churn through runners is still there!

How To Play
As a trader, your job is to pick the runners that you think will increase in value.

You start with 1000 credits, and can use these to purchase shares in runners. If you think their mileage is about to drop, then it's time to sell.

Runner values are calculated based on the total volume of running mileage completed in the last 90 days. Values are recalculated as soon as a runner has logged a run.

Runners get a notification when you buy shares, but not when you sell them.

The value of a runner can go up or down, but don't threaten them. Have fun!
