I added the code to the navbar but I have no link showing to get to this MOD.

under which condition the amount i give to each member shows up on postbit ? I gave a dozen member 100K to start but only 2 members have the portfolio shown up on postbit even after i manually do the cron job.

Do they have to trade before the portfolio amount got added into the table ?

Excellent Hack!

Thanks!

Cool! My add-on has an add-on! ;)

I will add this to the code.
Thanks for finding the fix!

One thing I want to have is an option of how long a stock must be held before it can be sold.. I want people to think of this as investing and learn from it..

In the real world my broker will not allow me to buy a stock and sell it the same day and then use the funds again to buy the same day.. It takes three days for stocks to clear for me - I use Fidelity brokerage account..

Thanks my users love this ............. I plan to have investing contests with this...

I did not know that! That shouldn't be too difficult to set up. I will try to get this in the next update.

I'm interested in any input from anyone on how you might like to see some sort of "contest" functionality built into this...

should i download this now or wait ?

Set a start and end date, give everyone a set amount of cash (i use 100000 in reputation field) and at the end, the winner will be the one that has best gain (not portfolio value because some will sit on cash and risk only fraction of portfolio). The amount invest =100K - cash. See how much profit you make on the invest amount :)

Ideally, the user would see where he is ranked in the contest. The cron job is updated during business hour, some thing like every 2 hours...(4 times a day)

I still try to find a way to put top 10 gainers on forum home.

This is not the real world. In day trading you can buy and sell within 1 second apart.
