[Suggestions] Improvement Thread
:ER_Laptop: UI, do you want to know the real difference between trading platforms in real trading? It's not just the news, it's the layout. The best platforms let you customize your UI. This is very easily the difference between someone staying on a platform and trading millions, or leaving on day 1 and never putting in a dime. Make the UI customizable, and by that I mean give us the ability to move stuff around and resize it to our specifications.

:level_up: Every row of data should also be clickable, once again easier to search with. What do I mean? We will use "Share Market" as an example, there is a code, name, last $, change $, etc. All of these categories should be clickable at the top so you can orient the prices high to low, or the names A-Z, these are very important things.

:CartoonMagnifyingGlass: Searching, this is a key feature that needs to be included on ANY window where there are stocks. I tried to search some stocks from a few tabs and they were simply not accessible. And here's the thing, you want this as a main feature, because in the minute to minute changing price game, it's extremely important to be able to immediately determine the data instead of shuffling around trying to find what to click on the access it. And I'll give you a prime example of this on the "Share Market" window, there is a arrow to minimize, and a little magnifying glass to zoom. There should instead be a - marker for zoom, and the magnifying glass should be the search feature, so you can immediately specify your parameters. And then copy and paste in every other stock window in the game.

:hacknetbars: Now, once you lock in your trading window and set it the way you want, you have to be able to come back to it and have it still be the same way, that means make a little lock on the window where after you set it up you can click it and it won't revert to whatever the default is. Also make a "save" tab so we can save our settings and always be able to load them in if something happens to them.

:Cashmoney: Now I know you probably have some concerns about how to make money for upkeep of the game and getting paid, so here is my suggestions. There are tons of real firms and trading apps that exist, all of them can use more advertising, get in touch with some of them and see if they wanna place a little name spot in the game somewhere, you can make a little box for it. That name with a clickable link should be enough to generate plenty of real revenue.

:Page: Extend the watchlist to as many as you want, at the very least 20, so we can put the ones we're watching and then scroll down on them.

:hacknetmail: The ability to MODIFY orders. Right now once they're placed they can only be cancelled and replaced.

:DmD_DDuksang: Now I know you know that charts need more factors that just the money, there are over 20 factors on real charts that you have the option of putting in, so at some point that should really be optional, and like real trading you want to make it customizatable so the person can make it show what they personally want to know.

:temperaturehot: When you're placing an order there and you're inputting the information there should be something under the price that says what the max shares you can afford are.

:B2Diploma: There needs to be a place where we can make notes on our stocks, because generally most people won't remember the prices they wanna play between.

:DmD_DDuckrack: The volatility needs to be heavily adjusted in this game, because it's laughably wrong. I see more swings on a daily basis in real life than there are in this game over years? Yea, that's all the way wrong. And I'll give you an example, I bought 4 stocks to see how they would do over the course of the "year" in this game, in a year they moved an average of UNDER 1%. Seriously? In real life, most of my stocks average around 10-15% movement daily. And they should, because if they stayed as flat as these stocks do, no one would ever buy or sell them.

Thanks for the suggestions.
1. The flexible UI is probably not on our short term implementation, but is a great idea (including saving the player preferences and layout).
2. Sorting by column. YES. We were originally going to add this and somehow the feature has been missed in with everything else that demanded attention. We will add this to one of the next updates.
3. Search. YES. When playing today, I encountered a situation where I dearly would have loved that. Often, I have just used my watchlist on the right switching that to the stocks I am focusing on.
We'll add search also in one of the next updates. It may not be in every window. It will depend on how they all pull their data and display.

Thank you for the suggestion for the advertising as well. Our thoughts for this game is mainly to get our start and practice at releasing, make a good fair game, and also build our community a little. Any income it makes to contribute to costs is really just a bonus. This suggestion could work well without being obtrustive for the player.

Other than these areas for improvement, we hope you're enjoying the game!

I think you have a very solid game, and with a few tweaks here and there it'll be 10/10. :CheerfulBonnibel:
