Each user begins with the average portfolio value as seen on the homepage. (This is the portfolio average of all FootySX users as not to disadvantage new users).

Find a stock

Share prices are calculated based on a stock’s performance and popularity.

Player/Club Performance - Changes according to their performance in matches. A weighting system is used so the most recent matches have a higher weighting on a player/clubs share price.

Popularity - The more popular the player or club is among users, the higher the share price rises. If investors jump off the wagon of a particular stock, the price will be sent spiralling downwards.

Tools -To help you make an informed decision on what stocks to purchase, Projections, allows traders make informed decisions on how their stock will fair based on projected scores. Past data is also available in helping the trader make informed decisions on what stocks they should purchase.

Buy

You have the ability to buy shares in any player or club as long as you can afford them throughout the season. The only two restrictions that are imposed on share buying are:

Stock Limits - The maximum number of shares an investor can purchase in any one stock is 1,000.

Stock Lockouts - Stock lockouts begin just before a participating stock’s match starts. Stock lockouts end after the final match of the round has concluded. When a stock is locked out, you are unable to buy or sell any shares in that particular stock. Stock prices are updated after each match is completed.

Sell

How do I make a profit? There are 2 methods to make a profit. As a trader, you have the option of using both methods to your advantage, if used wisely.

Buy low/sell high method - This involves buying shares at a low price and selling them once the shares have raised in value. The shares increase/decrease in value depending on their Performance & Popularity.

Cash bonus method - Similar to dividends in the real stock market, they have been introduced in order for traders to make money from higher priced stocks.

How are cash bonuses paid out? It’s simple:

• Clubs - Need to win by a certain margin.
• Players - Need to score a certain amount of ranking points.

In addition, as the popularity of the stock increases the cash bonus payout decreases and the target to get a cash bonus increases.

Seller Fee applies when selling a stock. This is a small fee implemented to stop users abusing the system by making a profit off the increase in popularity made by their purchase of that same stock. The seller fee decreases the longer the share is held for. A trader will not incur a seller fee if they hold on to that particular stock for about two weeks.
