Forum Stock Market Information and Starting Guide
Basics
- This is ran by a formula, that is designed in such a way, as to determine the change in value for each share in a forums' stock. It is fair and balanced. I have written the basic formula under the Forum Tier section; you can read down there if you want to try to wrap your head around the process.
- Everyday at a specified time (like 8 P.M. U.S. Mountain Standard Time (-7GMT)), The list will be updated with the current and previous price of each share.
- You may buy or sell at any time. To buy, reply using the form provided in the individual forum stock market thread, then donate the cash immediately following the post, to the individual selling the shares. To sell, make a post requesting your shares to be sold in the same thread.
Example: You buy 10 shares of Hogwarts School of Wizarding for 50 FP$ each. (Total 500 FP$). 2 days later, the value has increased to 60 FP$. You request a sale and you receive 600 FP$. In this case, you have made 100 FP$ more than what you spent.
Make sure you purchase shares using Today's value!
