STOCK TRADING COMING TO JUOT!!!

[BirdOPrey5]

Starting sometime tomorrow (Wednesday) morning you will be able to Buy and Sell stocks using your JUOT Casino Cash. There will be new options on the Navbar.

Your stock portfolio value will be calculated twice an hour and displayed under your Casino Cash when you make posts or you can view your holdings from the navbar links.

I suggest you gamble today to make as much as you can for the new stock trading frenzy that will hit tomorrow.

You can thank off-a-cough and the people in this thread:

Sounds like a good addition. Can we watch other's individual stocks or just see their total value?

 

[BirdOPrey5]

Not a 100% sure on that last question, will try and figure it out.

Will this be rigged like the casino is?

 

[BirdOPrey5]

Yes, you'll be able to see each other's portfolio...

FYI for those on the default style the icons on top don't work yet, just place holders.

since my real 401K has given up the ghost, might as well start an e-retirement account with pretend money. why not.

Sure, at the typical rate of about 35% return.

The Market Is Open:

For some reason some stock quotes come in corrupted/as negative values so you can't buy... it may fix itself in the future, not sure- as this plugin is still very much a 'beta' I wouldn't hold my breath... it works for the vast majority of NY traded stocks.

Why is nobody's stock value showing under casino cash?

 

[BirdOPrey5]

This was very much a beta product that is no longer really supported by the author...

Unfortunately the script seems to time out with too many stocks during the nightly run of the updates that build the top investors table and update the portfolio value for each use to be shown in their posts.

I am trying to see how the script file can be edited so as it will only do say 100 at a time and and simple repeat this until it finishes instead of doing all at once.
