To be honest, I do not see a point at arguing if a player is cheating or not without an evidence. I played this game longer than many remaining active players and read the rules word by word more than once. I saw many different kind of cheaters and most of time Mike caught them at the end of month before prizes were sent. So let's not worry too much and concentrate on trading.
 
In case Mike does not catch the cheater, what each individual players can provide some information regarding inconsistent transactions. Like winning 300% gain in a day is unreasonable unless there were huge IPOs. Gaining 300% for 2 hours then gains disappearing could happen by jacking up an individual stock trade. For example, someone could buy Audi TT until it reaches $80 and get 300% gain, but other players will counter that and bring back the price is $10. Therefore player's gain will not remain at 300% at the end of the day.
 
I hope I am not confusing anyone, but these are my 2 cents.

To use your Audi TT example, if you sell all of your shares at once when they hit $80 before other users bring the price back down, you keep your gains. I'm sure that's what a lot of users are doing. It's market manipulation, certainly, but is that cheating?

That example is not cheating. Simply short-term daytrading.

Let's say person A brought up the price to $80 by buying Y number of stocks and he sells all his position when the stock hit $80. He will not get Y * $80 from the transaction. When he trades the stock, it affects the stock price, therefore he will get Y * $Z for the transaction. Z price is something Edmunds calculate use their algorithm.
 
Back in the days when I tested these transactions at 4Am where there was no one to counter my actions, I found out that such transaction is not profitable. Therefore although this is market manipulation, making a perception to others, it is not cheating. It is more day-trading like Mike has mentioned. Trading by yourself will not bring any profit and that is why cheaters use multi-accounts, where one account jack up the price and other one rips the benefit.
 
I hope this makes a little bit more clear.

Your example can't be counted as a cheating.
You are into this month and audisguy also?
You will see.
I don't want to waste my time on this any more.
I just want this game to be fair and clean to everybody.
chung, you'd better do real nice IPO. Your 10% gain a day won't help you, if any cheater can manipulate his 100% a day.
audisguy, good luck. If you are not cheating, I can say you are very good at this game.

I am still wondering how one Audi stock can be traded 600,000 volume in a day.
Good luck.

I am waiting for other updates (for September), but once those are in place, I will scour through the data to see what's going on here.
