as the title suggests, i was wondering if anyone here knew of any vidya that allowed you to simulate trading during historic rises and falls in the markets. i know there are paper trading programs that allow you to trade the current markets (albeit it a slight delay), but i am much more interested in if there was ever a game where you could run simulations of certain time periods in the market (if you have the data for those days of course).
i think it would be quite fun to run simulations (and dare i say it, educational?) and try to trade your way out of a fully margined account on a 1929 type cataclysm or 1987s black swan event.
does anyone know of any games like this? whenever i search for it, i always get results about teachers running stock market games to teach kids about black tuesday and the great depression.
There are very few commercially released games that attempt to incorporate aome sort of financial markets, and none that try to 'simulate' stock markets using historic data. If you want to do that, then just forget about games.
Chase Perry
well the historical data part would just be cool. im more just looking for a game where you can play as a trader in a market thats headed towards financial ruin. i think it would be pretty cool, but ive never heard of anything like that.
also, why did you have to sage user? this thread will die soon enough, atleast give me a chance to have my question answered by a couple more anons.
also, i suppose if any anons know of any games that have a decent stock market minigame, let me know. the only one i can think of off hand is GTAV, and it was pretty clunky. i remember the charts didnt even work, and they just displayed random data, so it kind of sucked.
Charles Hernandez
Wall Street Kid is the only one that comes to mind, but that doesn't really follow any historic rises/falls.
Universal Paperclips has a very rudimentary stock market simulator. Again, nothing based purely on historic index values. It's not a bad concept, per se, but keep in mind that
Levi Butler
Here's an old one about buying stocks in threads and cashing in on the number of bumps and sages.
Liam Peterson
hey this seems like it would be a lot of fun. so bumps are longs, and the sages would be shorts then?
i actually tend to disagree. big guys love new, dumb money pouring in. they view it the same way that casino owners do. they know that given enough time, they will be able to suck all the wealth out of these idiots and then (their) life will go on. brokerages love it too as they can reap insane amounts from commissions charges from said idiots. greater fool theory in a way.
honestly thought he was gonna get way worse. judge went middle of the road on his sentence. 7 years i think. didnt catch what type of prison, but im assuming its white collar. honestly, out of all the evil hedgies out there, martin gets an unnecessarily bad rap. sure he hiked the prices of medication for profit, but he was simply using a tried and true method (loophole, really) that almost all of the major hedge funds have done themselves. his problem is that he was so open and smug about it. but in the long run, the guy is small peanuts compared to the absolute sharks that are out there doing similar things every week.
oh, and also he was an idiot who took on far too much risk and nuked all of his clients accounts. this is obviously what he was actually charged with, but it seems that his past as "pharmabro" really made the judge and jury want to throw the book at him.
awesome user, this is exactly what i was looking for. thank you.
ill check it out for sure
Aiden Lewis
Holy shit user thank you for showing me this. About to order a copy of this, exactly the kind of thing I would love to play. God bless you
An ingame stock exchange that you can affect the flow of goods
Xavier Hughes
i know, right? we should totally start our own Holla Forums predatory hedgefund and try to financially take over the game. kinda like what goons did with EVE, but less fucking gay and goony. we could have thread here as our boiler room.
i think it would be a lot of fun, and we might even learn a few things about how to trade irl
Charles Jones
oh shit i didnt realize that it isnt online. the first paragraph made it seem that way
Mason Howard
More dumb money into the market is good for the big fish, but there's way more actually good advice about the stock market out there in the internet than around the time Wall Street Kid came out, and thus, more smart money. More smart money in the market means less individual power for big investors to pressure companies, stage pump'n'dumps, etc. Better to tell wage slaves to put money in 1% retirement funds and tell them it's the "best option available", instead of them discovering low management cost ETFs.
Oliver Smith
Still fun regardless and it seems like it's highly informative for people who plan to go into finance. Either way it looks addicting af
sick. you can trade futures in it? thats cool as fuck
Cooper Fisher
oh shit and i totally missed
Hudson Russell
Anyway to make the screen larger?
Xavier Price
Not sure because I think the "game" has been developed by some Terry A. Davis tier fag for 20 years.
Connor Hughes
Why bother? You'd just be playing with fake graphs that don't mean anything. You're better off reading about several economic analysis methods and learning them by heart. Most of them require basic calculus, so mathematical analysis is also something you'd want to brush up on. That way you can invest with real cash and make real money. Why would you want to play video game about that? You won't learn anything that way.
Josiah Howard
Where did you get this notion?
Robert Wood
It's a nice hobby that can earn you cash - or make you lose it if you are too gung ho about it. I made like 1000$ since last year with 1000$ starting capital. If income taxes did not cost you an arm and a leg, I'd withdraw but so far I am waiting till I make more.
Michael Young
I don't think you get what "real cash and make real money" means.
Lucas Davis
I think it's pretty real when I can trade magic computer numbers for 5.56's.
