Action history:

rogerkni: I wanted to cash in my predictions of between 11,600 & 11,700 right after the opening bell, but I was forbidden to do so because it was supposedly "too soon". This has cost me dearly. I trust you will NOW remove the "too soon" barrier. rogerkni: You finally removed your "too soon" barrier, which enabled me to cash in my $1500 bet (three $500 bets) on 11,600 to 11,700" at a $691 loss instead of a profit of roughly that amount, which I would have attained if I'd been able to cash in at the opening or a bit before--which is actually when I wanted to, when I saw the DJIA future prices. There's no reason to have such a restrictive "too soon" policy, and none to impose it without prior notice. I request that those transactions of mine be cashed in at a profit. (You can see from my complaint above that I have grounds for my request.)

We're fine, and I'm working on changing the times now.
A decision reached by the CatEds has resulted in a few changes. First, we'll be suspending all stock market questions at least one hour before the market's close. They may close earlier if the question creator so chooses. This will not affect questions related to a market's opening price. Secondly, we will be allowing some other markets to come into play, such as the FTSE. Rather than allowing them all to be added at one time, we'll be allowing them to come into play over the next few days and weeks.
Revisions to the rules will be seen in the next day or so.
