Stock Ticker

Post by bundyaxl »

A feature to have a stock ticker at the bottom or top of the screen.

Just a scrolling text showing prices and your current gain/loss% just like on CNN.

I'd like the old school scrolling type but this could be done in different ways, a new window showing a list of select stocks and gains.

A small panel with news about stock price changes would be a nice addition. And a running text like CNN is a cool idea.

That would be a really good idea. Especially for the New Information Age DLC, when you have the option to be an Online Stock Broker.

A running stock ticker with prices might be hard to keep up with especially if you run the game at fast speed. By the time your stock shows up the price is outdated.
I'd like more news ticker notes like "Moon Beam stock up/down 100% over last month, Zeta Group acquires 25% stake in Ion, Capital Corp hits record high/low, etc."
Maybe a small video box at the bottom with a news announcer. Doesn't need voice over, just put a news ticker in the video box for whatever the news is.

Another approach might be to have an optional price overlay on the main screen. All it needs to show is a ticker symbol, price, and up/down trend arrow.
