@deavisdude im not 100 percent sure of all of them but some have to do with market timings (can't be fixed without rewriting plugin)

 

Okay, then yes. They should absolutely use real-time data. I have no idea why they wouldn't use real-time data in the first place. Use a different API, it certainly can't be that hard with the number of websites out there quoting stock prices.

 

real-time data costs large amounts of money. It's not feasible.

 

Oh, I see. Then a one day limit would be sufficient, no?

 

I have no idea. I assume it was done for a reason, but I'm unaware of the reasoning.

 

Yes, I feel like ECC is a hard core economy server. But I also feel like the stock exchange is a vital part of any economy. Their are many different styles for trading, and it seems like ECC only allows a couple of those methods to be done. But.. From what I have seen it seems that it would be very difficult and or costly to make a stock exchange system where you can day trade. Still a +1 for the idea from me ;3

 

it was done to prevent abuse of the 15 minute delay and turn the stock market into a more long-term strategy as opposed to having people just make money quick and easy by just buying the "big gainers" iirc. Though, the 3 day delay shouldn't matter as much anymore as there's the $5 limit and the stock market opening at noon, so it's significantly harder to make quick money off of the "big gainers".
