FH news Stock Trader addon

[Deebs]

Dear all,

I am activating a new addon at some point tonight, Stock Trader. This is an addon which allows you to trade on the London FTSE 100 (for now, I may open up other exchanges in due time), you get £5000 as a starting pot and can buy/sell shares.

Things to note:

• You have to own the share for one day before you can sell them.
• FreddysHouse charges a 5% commission on each trade (buy/sell).
• All prices are listed as pounds and pence.
• The addon is still in the beta stages so their maybe bugs present, report them, don't bitch about them.
• I have asked the addon author to create an option so I can remove it from the navbar (I want to keep it clutter free so it works on low resolution screens)
• Use this thread for comments.

Finally have fun, let's see who can make some serious virtual money!

Bought £3,000 worth of Mining shares, bad move, I know, I did this sorta thing as a competition at school, only if it was real money, we made £150k profit from £100k over a 6 month period, was the time when all the BUY GOLD adverts were on, so we just invested everything in Gold related areas.

Was very tempted to take a punt on Standard Chartered but bottled and took a worse risk on some unheard of shitpile... lost a bucket load... playing catch up now!!

• FreddysHouse charges a 5% commission on each trade (buy/sell).

Just out of curiosity, but for what purpose?

 

[Litmus]

started this 2 ago and made £187 alone today, investing in banks(I guessed there's only 1 way their shares can go after hitting rock bottom) and oil companies was the way to go... well, just BP.

 

[rynnor]

Is it busted? Its showing a lot of portfolios as 0 value?

 

[Deebs]

Upgraded from beta 5 to RC2.

 

[Litmus]

Is it working right, almost all of my shares have more than doubled today?

 

[Poag]

Addon seems to have gone from GBP to USD...thus doubling in many cases.

Deebs needs to change it back to GBP

WE GOT SOMETHING BREWING
