answer: 9:00h and 10:00h
ATS A should buy the shares at 0900h on Day 1 and sell the shares at 1000h on Day 2 to maximize the profit per share.
compare the price at T hours vs price at T+1 next day. I wrote it down to avoid confusion
for 9:00 and 13:00 there is profit, rest its same/loss. for 9am the profit is 30 > 13:00 profit is 20
trap here is that we need to meet the constraint that we buy at T hours and sell at T+1 hours
hope that helps
thanks
