One other option I would like to make this more realistic...
Have a setting on how long you must hold a stock before you can sell it!
A setting on how long after you sell a stock the money from the sell becomes available.
Without this my users are able to buy like say and Oil or Gold stock before the open when they see the market has been up overseas and then sell it and do the same thing the next morning.
On my real brokerage account I can't sell a stock I just bought that quick because it takes three days to clear and they don't like me selling what I don't really have yet..
So a setting on how long you must hold it would encourage investing instead of just buying anything. Plus you could set it for like 30 days and then people would need to pick their stocks more carefully because if the sell their money is not available for so many days to buy again...
