No weekly and monthly change challenges

One of the things that some users have asked for in the simulation stock markets that GolfInvestors run is the ability to have interim challenges, such as weekly and monthly change challenges. These would be where investors could compare the change in their portfolio's Net Asset Value (NAV) with other investors week to week and month to month.

It would be a nice feature to have, and not very difficult to implement on the simulation markets. However, we have not implemented because it is too easy for users to manipulate the share price of a player's stock. Until more users start trading on the simulation markets, it will continue to be too easy for users to move a player's stock one way or the other just before the deadline. Meaning that a user could easily sell 1 share at a very low price just to get their opponents NAV lower or to increase their own NAV if they are selling short at a very low price.

We police and monitor the trading of the markets on a hourly basis. However, we can't catch everything. So the best value of a user's NAV is at the end of the market when the GolfInvestors bank buys back the shares at the earnings per share price for a player.

Until more users start trading on the markets, we will not implement the weekly and monthly challenges on the simulation markets on GolfInvestors.

Another solution for your fix is to participate in the simulation stock markets that are run for individual tournaments. That gives users the ability to see their results for a given week.

In any event, invite more friends to trade on the simulation markets and then I will get the interim challenges feature implemented.
