Should see it on the nav bar also

What is Stock Trader? Stock Trader is a Fantasy Stock Game which allows you to trade real world stocks using Coli Cash (for entertainment purposes only).


My Portfolio: Lists each Stock Purchase Transaction that has at least 1 owned stock. Click on the Stock Title to get the most recent quote which contains detailed info about the particular stock as well as allows you to purchase new shares. If an individual stock transaction has "matured" (# days is an option in the ACP), you can SELL shares from that individual transaction (all or some).

Popular Stocks: This is a Tabbed break out of Popular Stocks. Right now there are 5 tabs available depending on which exchanges you enable.
  • Member Owned. This is a distinct list of every Stock Symbol that members own. (Always enabled)
  • Dow Jones Industrials (US).
  • NASDAQ 100 (US).
  • FTSE 100 (UK).
  • DAX 30 (Germany).
This will expand when new Exchanges are added to the system.

Note: You are able to click on a Stock name to get a real time quote in which you can then purchase directly from that quote.

Symbol Lookup/Get Quote: This is accomplished via Auto Complete functionality. You type in a few letters of the company you are looking for and the search will auto complete the results allowing you to choose from a list of results (same functionality as on Yahoo! Financials). Results are filtered based on Options Settings for Exchanges.. ie, if you have US exchanges disabled, then results for US symbols will not show up.

Purchase: All purchase are done via the stock quote. If the stock is available for purchase, you will see a big blue button with text saying "Purchase shares of IBM, est cost per share 19.95". Now, with that said, it is an ESTIMATE because you might be trying to purchase during real time trading in which stock prices change every second. Each step will re lookup the most current share price. step 1, click on the purchase button, this will pop up an overlay. You will then enter the amount of share you wish to purchase. The overlay will tell you how much on hand cash you have available, what the estimated cost per share is and the maximum share you can purchase (based on available cash, current share price and administrative settings). When you click Purchase Shares it will once again check the most current price (in case you sat there for 5 minutes thinking about it). If the price went up, the transaction might kicked back due to lack of funds.. if you still have the available funds, the transaction will go through. Once it goes through, you will be redirected back to your private portfolio page. Your purchase may or may not be "Locked" depending on Administrative settings. Once it is unlocked, you are able to sell shares of that stock.

Sell: All selling is handled on your Private Portfolio (My Portfolio). If a stock has the LOCK Symbol on it, you can not sell shares of that particular stock. Once it matures, you will see the "Sell Shares" link (to the far right bottom in the Title Area of each stock). Selling is similar to purchasing in that the most current share price is looked up for each step. Step 1, click on sell shares, that will pop up an overlay in which you can set the number of shares to sell (all or some)... it will tell you the estimated share price, then click Sell Shares. At that point, it will get the most current price and perform the transaction (which will redirect back to the portfolio page). Pretty straight forward.

Top Portfolios: This is like a leaderboard so to speak. Right now it simply lists all members that own stock sorted by the top gain amount. There are plans to enhance this in the future. You can also view each individuals public portfolio by clicking on "View Portfolio".
Click to expand...

The market opens for trading at 9:30 a.m EST* & closes at 4 p.m EST* Monday-Friday

@greenhousegases its an add on we bought like all the other features we have. Someone in TLR showed it to us a month and some change ago. Would've been added sooner, but there was a bug I found that finally got fixed. There's no catch.

@LionofJudah nah, I'll ask the dev if its possible to add something like that.

@fkdmR so we should open and close the market right?
