Stock Market Program

[Syntax-Error]

Ok so im starting the design of the Program aswell as the database. and i want you oppionions.

So far i have this as the idea.

there will be 30 "fake" companys each with there own stock. the program will store all the company info on a database.

There will be 100 events Programed into the database aswell, of which each day an event will be selected for each company, 30 of these event will raise/lower the stock prices with a timer of upto 7 days ( giving those with a good eye to predict market changes )

The other 70 will be "false" events that make no change and just give a feel of "realism"

First of all:

Company database, what info?

i have :

Company name :
Company Type :
Current Income :
Current Outgoing :
Current Profit :
Current Share Price :

anyone think of anymore info needed?

Current company value ?

Good point

income and outgoing is hard to calculate. Especially on a variable basis. One week we may work on vehicles, the next on large turret orders. But a 'company value' would be good. Taken from the company account value.

Yes but this program wont be needed for the real companys (as currently i have no real intrested appart from Phoenix) These will be the "fake" companys of the "vertual" market.

Ah.. fair enough.
