Start Dates and Stop Dates
We require at least 24-hours advance notice for start dates and stop dates. For a start date students accounts can be erased so that any prior practice is eliminated and all students start on an equal footing. For a stop date trading can be suspended so that students cannot change their positions. Access will be maintained with current market data (until the end of the semester or quarter) for student project etc., purposes, unless you specify that you do not want students to have further access. student accounts, position resets for practice etc., But again 24-hours notice is important because we maintain 99.99% up time during trading hours whereas it is out of trading hours that we do server updates etc.,. As a result, changes to existing accounts are made out of trading hours.
