We have plenty of stock market data (of the prices of all the stocks going back quite a while) but we haven't thought about what to do with it all yet so if you have any suggestions just let us know.

there is a website for that. i am only interested if the program prompts me and inform me its
Highest point in history
Grade of stock
How long since its last run

i think it would be rather useful to have a program that helps you track and sell stocks when it hits the amount you want. either by the usual <numbers>% profit or <numbers>% of its highest selling price.

Where can i access that data?
And yes, that's a pretty good idea.. I was thinking maybe in doing a stock market manager, that can buy / sell stocks when it hit certain profit point. Suggest you what to buy and maybe have a database based on the daily value changes.
I think it's not that hard to code it ..
For now i would like you to tell me what web site is and where do you have stock market info !

It's in our database, it's not displayed anywhere yet.

Would this site be of any use to you, particularly the report card section?

Wow.. actually it has a LOT of info.. tvm!!!

I'll try to do something with all these.. collect data.. organize it.. try to make a 3-profile buyer.. see what i can come up with..
I'm a little busy with my studies right now, but when i get the chance.. i'll try to do something with it

If you have ideas for the program.. they're all welcome!!

[lRoyalty]

I dont know what you would do with this data. It wont really help too much, I would think. I don't think TNT really follows to close to RL stock market trends. It would be awesome if they did that though.

As most of the people I think that the Stock market is completely random and every record is just another random number , you could even try using a gauss-curve and calculate the statistically middle or expectaion value.

[JoJoOAO]

I don't think is really random.. cause if you take a closer look, the variations of the stocks doesn't go up and down like fliping a coin.. it has relatively short periods where a stock price is going up, and periods where it's going down... of course it does within one day, but taking a bigger look i don't think that's how it works. And the trick in the game is that you have to know when to buy cheap, and sell expensive. If you can let's say.. find a "patron" maybe you can have a reference of when a stock price is low at the moment, and when it's cheap. Of course TNT adds random events in all value changes, but they are also forced to add some logic to it all..

PS: i think "patron" meant to be : pattern LOL. Sorry For my english (Argentinian)

I remember reading it used to be based on how the shops were doing, but after some guilds just bought a million shares of stock, and kept buying from the shop to make a fortune, they disconnected that tie...

I think another way you could tackle this would be to simply get a bit of stock in each of the companies, then when you see one making a fast climb you invest heavy into it. That's what I did and was able to catch onto the VTPS rise. I was able to catch on at 300 again and it's up to around 450 now.

[zandra]

stock market isnt entirely random. at least you can tell loads from a share using their history of peaks. it is almost certain that shares like STFP and various others that only hit early 100s will not perform like KSON or VPTS. Doesnt that information inform you that it is a good time to buy kson when it drops to 15k.

I give you a dollar if you can find any mathematical prooven logic in the stock market

Anyone who invests time successfully analyzing the Neopets stock market should spend time analyzing the real one

[rapmastahc]

Some sort of data organization of the neodaq would be pretty cool, though I don't know that there's any way to predict how the stocks are going to change. I've always thought it was just random

Yes, i thaught about that and it's a great strategy... I think you'll need to start buying at least 1k of all stocks and catch a hugh rise.. and also in the mid time, you can buy and sell stocks as they go up and down.. Maybe a combination of strategies.
I don't know if you can pull the mathematical prediction off.. i think it's kinda random, so you can always have a few functions or values that works for certain stocks, but you won't be able to guess exactly wich stocks are going up and down. But you can give let's say, advice on what to buy..I.e. if you have a stock story.. and right now this stock is in a very low price, you can buy a lot of those cause you "know" it's going up! Things like that.. maybe can be somehow messured and put togheter in a program or something like that.. That's at least my opinion.. don't know what you guys think..

PS: i.e. The simple way to ensure profit.. is buying 1k of 15np stock and wait a few days.. then sell it. (That would be a low risk investment)
