CookiStocker Versions 2 and 3
Here are the features I plan to incorporate in CookiStocker versions 2 and 3. Initially, these were all going to be incorporated into version 2.0, but as it became clear that determining a near-optimal trading algorithm was going to be exceedingly complex, I have decided to split the upgrade into two parts so that an initial upgrade can be released shortly after the update to this post. I have split the rest of this post to show which features to expect for which version of CookiStocker. The first set of features has recently been completed.

Features for CookiStocker 2.0:
  1. Fixes for all known bugs.
  2. A vastly improved trading algorithm that should generate about an order of magnitude times as much money as the current one. This is now complete; the new algorithm currently generates about $15 million per day, which is about an order of magnitude greater than the previous algorithm. This mean that it should be able to attain the Gaseous Assets shadow achievement in a little over two days of continuously running this mod, assuming that the recommendations in the Steam guide for the mod are all followed.
  3. Added more detail to both the in-game notifications and the console log.
  4. Added a whole new section to the console log that breaks down activity by trade type, and is published at the same time as the regular trading summaries, which is currently once an hour. (For a more complete description and illustration of these last two points, please see the accompanying discussion New Changes and Additions to the Console Output.)

Features for CookiStocker 3.0:
  1. An even more refined version of the trading algorithm that should boost the mod's trading returns even further. At this point, the algorithm is still being worked on, so it is not possible to say how much of a gain this new algorithm will produce. However, it should be significant, and it should start coming close the optimal gains possible from trading the stock market.
  2. Moving all current and future mod options to the game's Options page.
  3. Adding an option to temporarily stop and restart automatic trading.
  4. Adding an option to temporarily stop and restart the entire stock market.
  5. The addition of the new achievement Plasmic Assets, which would require total stock market gains equivalent to a full decade of base cookie production - ten times what is required for Gaseous Assets. Unlike Gaseous Assets, Plasmic Assets would be a regular achievement.
I will be keeping this first post up to date. Meanwhile, feel free to ask questions or contribute to this discussion. I can't guarantee an immediate response, but I will do my best to keep up with input here.

There has recently been a question on the main page of this mod by Ͼokeman as to when this mod will be released. The short answer is that I hope it will be sometime this summer; it's impossible to be more precise than that due to the complexity of the work and the vagaries of my schedule. The trading algorithm is taking a long time to create simply because the rules involved have turned out to be very complex, and I am having to analyze huge amounts of data to get them right, specifically the rules involved in what to do at mode transitions. In many (if not most) cases, the rules are quite unexpected, and often have the algorithm (correctly) buying when the mode changes to selling, and vice versa. Right now, I am looking at a full day's worth of data (gathered from a number of full-day runs). This data contains the price and mode of every stock at every tick during the day, as well as where all the mode changes occur for each stock.

Because the data is so detailed, I am able to tune the algorithm in a way that should provide a significantly better return than the algorithm that I am currently using. But creating this algorithm is very time consuming; so far, I have covered just the first six stocks in about 10 days of work. I am aiming for at least a 95% accuracy rate in these mode transitions and I am gradually getting there, but if I don't achieve this by the time I finish all 18 stocks, I'll have to analyze more data until I get sufficient accuracy in the algorithm.

So that people can have a glimpse of what's going on, I'm publishing the current draft of the algorithm that deals with mode transitions in The Trading Algorithm discussion thread, specifically in this post.
