Enjoy!

market crashes are too frequent.

Is there a fix coming out soon for that?

Got it. The percent chance for market crashes was way to high (30%). With this change, I will also reduce the percent loss that can be lost in a single crash (80% max?)

However, with these changes, I will have to update the yearly percent gain, so your gains don't run off the graph within the first five years.

I will do a bulk update, so I don't have to keep going back and forth.

Let me know of any other questions/suggestions!

I was the one who commented on that video btw!!

Change Log (3/27/2020):
- Updated pricing
- Limited market crash to 80%
- Reduced percent chance of market crash to 20%
- Updated xy-scaling (still problematic)

Working On:
- Adding framework for market events for specific sectors (run on the banks, manufacturing loss, hacking, etc.)
- Calculating dividend yields

GitHub not yet updated. More information to come!

This reminds me of my StockSim program for the CE. Although I must admit, your program appears to be much more realistic

Wow. I have never seen your program before, but I like a lot of things about it!

Being able to buy/sell stocks during the simulation has been on my mind, but I never knew how to properly implement it. I also like that you allowed the player to save and load games!

I'm still looking into dividends - among a load of other things, so it's cool to see a similar project.

Let me know if you have any suggestions!

I like how this is coming along. Can't wait to see it finished.

I just came across your channel the other day I remember watching it a long time ago then I was overjoyed when I found out again. This is a great realistic program.
