Continuous stock exchange. Very interesting concept involving constant trade, constant markup, constant profit and constant stock. These variables are dependent on the market markup variable. It help build up or deplete a stock according to market prices WHILE still giving profit on each trade. If a larger stock is acquired then the profit increases in time and the impact on the market is minimal. If the market conditions are bad, then the stock rotation should assure a positive profit none the less. This can be achieved by using a simple set of formulas to determine the in and out prices and the speed and quantity required to maintain the equilibrium. At the end of a cycle or indefinite time, one should either depleted the stock and now profit on the trades or has no profit and a large 100% profit stock. Theese cases should be avoided as they slow down the system. Automated systems can be used and a time period could show if the system is tweaked enough to sustain itself in mid-point. Recommended cycle period should be 2 months. As the system requires the sale and purchase of some of the stock, some time waste is involved. We can propose this to be about 2 hours. Because the IN and OUT deficit is present, it is not adviceable to trade only the deficit, but the recommended IN and OUT stock requirements. This can be accomplished by having smaller alternating input and output cycles of about one day. There is also the need to understand that the external system, the PE Economy System, can only have a limited ammount of a certain resource and that the resource needs to be returned as to maintain the same input/output ratio. Once the input/output ammounts become larger, the profit will get smaller. This means that the system has another regulator, the maximum input/output quota.
So resuming, it would be an interesting case designing a system that needs constant input and output of stock resources based on some variables. The system regulates itself internally and should constantly add profit and stock to the maintainer.
- System - custom defined system consisting of a controlling avatar, a specified resource, the storage of such a resource, the exchange to currency of that resource.
- input - the acquisition of the resource against currency - input price, input speed, input amount
- output - the release of the resource for currency - output price, output speed, output amount
- cycle - total system life period
- internal price - current stock value as related to inputs and outputs.
- profit - value difference on the input and output prices compared to the internal price.
- stock - ammount of resource available in storage.
Draft:
let us take a cheap resource available to the masses and a normal resource that is used alot in crafting. Lets pick Animal Hides and Zinc. I now see the need of a starting capital, so that the stock can start working at a higher value. To have a reasonable ammount we need to find ways of trading in order to find a minimal input and minimal output ammount that covers the expences of each trade.
