• You start with $10000 (USD)
• Uses delayed ticker prices from !stock (yahoo finance) (This is fine)
• Brokerage charges??? (0.5% ~ 1% flat fee, might be needlessly complicated)
• Portfolio report. Can b0t email a report? It would be too spammy for IRC
• Portfolio Total Value. Something like !totval: 6 stocks, 3 gaining 3 losing, $48.96 total portfolio value)
• Caching of values. limit the amount of stock value reads and cache them for 1 hour… 6 hours? I don't see a lot of day traders using this but there might be

!buy <# of shares> <ticker symbol>

!sell <# of shares> <ticker symbol>

!portfolio

Also… if you want to get someone else's info you can use forkdev hax like:

!forkdev getprivate !buy krushia._cash

!forkdev getprivate !buy krushia._portfolio

!forkdev getprivate !buy krushia._stock.goog

(!buy is interchangable with !sell/!portfolio/papertrading FYI)

Please add if you know of a source that doesn't cost $
