I started out with no buy/sell fees or commission. I think I want to make this as close to realistic as possible. Would any of your more financially-oriented forums mind sharing how you have your options set to make things as realistic as possible? Thanks.

Funny you should ask. A member of mine was just talking about this today and he said $7 a trade is pretty standard these days, so I set mine to $7 to purchase shares and $7 to sell also. Hope that helps.

Any thoughts on other options? What's the standard commission these days?

There is no competition functionality, so anything you do will have to be done manually anyway. I don't think anyone has ever submitted a competition suggestion (an actual suggestion that includes how it would functionally work), so if you have time, please create a suggestion for it at the support site

Would be a fairly easy customization to do, but would require either extending the addon or direct file edits to the portfolio controller and model (would recommend extending vs file edits). Its not something that can be done via template editing.

It was designed to give my sports sites something to do during the offseason. Built purely for entertainment purposes. Works with any points system that stores values in the xf_user table. Members can earn (or lose) virtual money based on real world stock values.

I am missing that i can set permission to be used only by dedicated usergroups.
Would like to use it like football bet game. All user who who want to play have to pay a small amount of money.
At the end this money will give to the 3 best.
So only users who pay will put into a a special usergroup who receive the 5000 play money.

None that they've publicly announced. Its an unsupported API, so they don't normally announce changes. If your site is making A LOT of requests, they might be metering you (they do that with YQL requests on the same DB server).
