CookiStocker 2 | Automatic Stock Trading Mod

Overspark - It is indeed! I just implemented this feature on my version of the mod a few days ago, and I was surprised to see how nice it was just to have the mod buy the brokers automatically and not have to worry about them at all.

This feature will be in the next release, which is coming very soon.

Automatic buying of brokers would be an awesome feature.

No problem, sarath_dilrow. The new requirements are currently mentioned only in this conversation. I need to add them to the main documentation, and more importantly (since few people read the documentation), I have to fix the new display to notify the player when and why automatic buying is not running.

It also occurred to me that I should add automatic buying of brokers up to the minimum limit, doing this in a way that doesn't have a significant impact on the bank.

Also, you'll get slightly better results the more brokers you have. I personally recommend 100; after 162, adding brokers essentially has no effect.

Thank you for the answer and sorry for the question. Yes, the problem was that I was at 50 brokers instead of 58, bought 10 more and it started auto buying inmediately. Sorry again for the question.

sarath_dilrow - If the mod is auto-selling properly but not buying anything, by far the most likely explanation is that you have not met the recently introduced requirements for the mod to purchase stocks. These consist of having a minimum of 58 brokers as well as enough cookies in your bank so that a purchase of all the available shares of a single stock will not consume more than 5% of your bank. The number of cookies in your bank required to fulfill this requirement is given by the following formula:

Cookies required = (number of shares) * (highest raw CPS this session) * (price per share) * 20

Since neither the existence nor the value of this formula is obvious, it seems, I'll need to add another line to the new display indicating what's going on here. In the meantime, a rough guide is that when you have 150,000 seconds or more worth of cookies in your bank (more or less), the mod should be able to purchase stocks. (That's a little less than two days' worth of cookies.)

Hello, sorry if this question is dumb but does the mod wait for some special requirement to buy stocks? The mod auto-sells everything just fine but I have left it running for around 6 hours and it hasn't buy any stock. I tried doing what yaboi did and even reinstalled the mod but no luck.

Added CCSE and everything works now, thanks for figuring it out

Doing gods work Z. Insane how quickly and active you're working on improving the mod. Plenty of other mod developers would have taken their sweet time or completely dropped the mod when having so many people report in broken features. Thank you

Fascinating! The mod even includes the standard line that checks for the existence of CCSE and loads it if it isn't present, but obviously that wasn't sufficient. Therefore, I've added CCSE to the list of Required Items on this page. Thanks, lil' orange for finding this, and thanks, mxrc, for verifying that this fixes your problem as well.

Installing CCSE/Enabling CCSE and putting it on top of the mod list has actually solved my issue. Thanks for helping :)
