Goal
This article is a mini game where GMs compete for 5K by trying to score the highest Rate of Return (RoR) for the season based on thier skrouse skratch (tm) investments
Rules
1. Once per season a GM can transfer up to 10K from their Skrousey Bank account to their SKAM Brokerage account
2. Whenever the deposit is made it will immediately be added to their starting Market Value for the season the RoR competition
3. GMs are investing their skratch and can chose to withdraw some or all of their funds any point in the season or they can carry it over to the next season
4. The competition is based on overall Rate of Return, the GM with the highest RoR at season's end wins the 5K prize from my own account at the Skrousey Bank
5. Prices are calculated using the current total win projections based on current winning percentage
5.1. The only time this is not true is for the opening trading session following Preseason where the Prices are based on eric's projections posted in the Preseason sim thread
6. GMs may buy or sell stocks with eachother, at an agreed upon price
7. SKAM will act as the exclusive market maker for all TMBSL Team Stocks and offer to buy and sell stock at the ask and bid prices
7.1. Ask and bid prices will be based on the current price of the stock, marked up or down by 3%
7.2. A GM will always be able to buy stocks from SKAM at the Ask and sell their stocks at the Bid
Example: BRK with a price of 57 can be sold to SKAM at the bid of 55 or purchased from SKAM at the ask of 598. A single trade quantity cannot exceed he Max Lot value, this represents the maximum number of shares that a GM can purchase of a single stock in a single trading session
Example: SAC with a price of 5 would have a max lot of 500 shares, a GM could not buy more than 500 shares of SAS in a single trading session from SKAM
8.1. Max lots will NOT apply to SELL transactions
8.2 Max lots will NOT apply to cross trades
9. Cross trades occur when two GMs wishing to trade with each can do so, the agreed upon price must be between the bid and ask price, as SKAM has a fiduciary responsibility that the investor attains his stock at the best price available to them
Example: If Mike is willing to sell 8 of his shares of BRK @ 58.10, and Dirt is interested in buying them @ 58.10, SKAM will broker the transaction for them - at no additional cost!
10. Minimum lots will be applied to every transaction, minimum lots are based on a formula of $500/Price rounded down to the nearest whole number
Example: 5 shares of BRK @58 could not be bought or sold, a deal would need to be for at least 8 shares.
11. GMs shall enter their buy and sell orders in this article thread
11.1. SKAM will quote all orders (ASAP) and verify the best available price and total amount of the trade (in skrouse skatch currency units)
11.1.1. All quoted orders will be processed as quoted at the next trading session close, unless they are cancelled or a better price become available
11.1.2. Cancelled orders must be clearly stated by a GM prior to the trading session close
11.1.3. If a GM posts an illegal order, only max and min lots will be adjusted and only if the GM has enough skratch available to make a legal purchase, otherwise the order will be rejected. Skratch available will include any unmade 10K deposits, if their Skrousey Bank has sufficient funds.
12. This article thread shall remain unlocked but orders will only be processed following the deadline for DCs for Sims 1, 4, 7, and 10
