Could those of you who have seen the after-hours-trading-cheat in action please try this fix to see if this resolves the problem?
I've attached one file to this post. Simply upload this file to your /includes directory, overwriting the already existing file. If this does fix the cheat, I will include this in an official update.
Today I'm getting an error (it worked perfectly for two days. I haven't changed a thing):

Just out of curiosity , this doesn't prevent us from buying after the market has closed does it ? Because I work in retail management and I'm rarely home when the markets are open

No, it does not. I changed the plugin to grab slightly different info from Yahoo. I believe it's a "real time" feed.
In theory, if a user tries to buy something early in the morning, it should use the current price and not the previous day's price.
Should there be something for icash on my forumhome that would work with the stock trader? My stock trader links are in the navbar, but they lead to non-existent pages
