Stock trading

Post by ohms_law »

I think stock trading should be easier. I'd like to be able to set money to a stock fund and then have stocks be bought and sold at set order prices and volumes. The current stock screen isn't terrible, but the stock game requires too much micro-management.

You can actually simulate a stock fund by putting your money into a company that is stock focused. The CEO of such company will do the investing job for you and its stock price will be driven by the stock performance. If you can't find any, create some using the Stock Focused Companies tag in a script : https://www.capitalismlab.com/scripts/s ... mpetitors/

They don't seem to buy any more stock after I purchase them, though. Only tried it once though, so maybe it was something with that particular game.

If you buy them or control them, then you have to make sure that Invest into other companies is checked under the management policy window (uncheck all the other boxes if you want it to act as a holding company only). However, you may only possess let's say 20% and it's just like you were putting your money into a fund.
