Hi,

I think that could be implemented the following idea at the Stock Market: In the display of a certain share, would be show the list of buy and sell bids, from real players, at real time, and the share’s variation price would be conditioned to the trades only between real players, not between player and system. Just like real life….

Thanks.

Share price variation is not only determined between player and system.
Each share in the game has its own order book and player entering offers/bids are registered in that book.
Transactions are executed at the end of the day on best match basis, like in a real market.

Your idea would be to show the content of the order book.

I’m against this, for 2 reasons:
- In real life only market makers have access to the order book (maybe I am wrong here)
- It would give an unfair advantage to some players
