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
It was mentioned in question to maximize the profit and share bought on Day 1 at T hrs must be sold on Day 2 at T+1 hrs. On finding the maximum positive gap between the data points qualifying the above conditions. 900 hrs on day 1 and 1000 hrs on day 2 is best solution

We have to look for the time period where the blue line, that is day 2, is more than the yellow line, that is day 1, an hour prior.
Such times are 0900h and 1000h: Yellow is at 120 at 0900h and Blue is at 150 at 1000h, so a profit of $30. 1300h and 1400h: Yellow is at 130 at 1300h and Blue is at 150 at 1400h, so a profit of $20. 1400h and 1500h: Yellow is at 150 at 1400h and Blue is at 160 at 1500h, so a profit of $10.
Interesting question, it is not difficult, I got it right in 1:57.
I think the color and the day 1 versus day 2 threw me off while reading at first I thought Day 1 was blue......interesting setup for the graph, I like it.
