Q
 Where does the list of your daily stock picks come from?
A
 At the end of every market day we scan the market for low priced momentum stocks.
We then post those stock picks at around 4-5 EST.
Q
 Wait that stock closed down 15%, why does my account say +5%?
A
 For "game sake" we track your stock picks from yesterday's close to today's High-of-the-Day (HOD). A bit unrealistic as far as real trades go. However are far as games go we think it's more fun.

Q
 What is the Trader Level, and how does the Level System work?
A
 Well if you have ever played an online FPS like Call of Duty or Halo, then you're familiar with this military system. We admit, we've played way too many of these games. So many we made a stock trading system that uses something very similar.

Here's how it works. Depending upon how well you perform with your trades each day you will earn towards your Trader Level. You have to have a total ROI of greater than 2% on a given day to earn XP towards your next Trader Level. Your Trader Level will increase even faster if you acheive Skill Points.
