Channel stocks

Channel stocks are a game asset traded with points inside the portal. They are not company shares and have nothing to do with real money — the price is computed automatically from that channel's activity.

• Stocks are listed automatically for connected channels. There is nothing to apply for
• When a channel drops off the list the stock is marked delisted. You can no longer buy it, but you can still sell what you hold
• Every stock has a fixed total supply. Once it is fully issued, nobody can buy more

The stock page shows a price chart over three ranges (one day, one week, one month), the number of holders, market cap, that stock's dividend history, and its discussion thread.

1. 1Choose buy or sell on the stock page
2. 2Enter a quantity and the average fill price, the fee, and the total you pay (or receive, when selling) are calculated first
3. 3Check the numbers and confirm — the trade fills immediately

There is no order book. Instead of waiting for a counterparty you trade against the market curve, so the more you buy at once the higher your average fill price sits above the quoted price, and the more you sell the lower it goes. A gap between the quoted price and your fill price is normal.

Every trade charges a fee, and that fee is gone for good. Buying and selling straight back returns almost the same principal but pays the fee twice, so it is a loss. A filled trade cannot be undone.

• One person can hold only a portion of a stock's total supply. What is left for you is shown as "still buyable"
• There is also a cap on how many shares one order can cover
• A buy is never filled above the quote you saw. If someone buys ahead of you and the price rises in between, that order is rejected and you can try again

The price is built in two layers. First comes the channel's own value, and on top of that sits how much of the stock has been issued and how busy trading has been lately.

• The channel's own value looks at channel size, recent growth in followers, views and reactions, whether a stream is live and how many are watching, and activity and active boosts on cigt
• Going live pushes it up, and turning the stream off does not drop it at once — it cools down over several days
• Staying off air for a long time pulls the value down once the grace period has passed
• A stock nobody has traded barely moves when you buy it. The more people have actually traded it recently, the more the same quantity moves the price
• A stock with more selling than buying has its demand trimmed accordingly

The price does not jump straight to the computed value; it edges toward it. Good news therefore shows up as a climb over time, and a one-off spike settles back down as time passes.

The value has a floor, so it never trends toward zero however far it falls. In the other direction each input has its own upper and lower bound, so no single factor can multiply the price on its own.

A channel owner can pay points from the channel vault to the holders of their own stock. You set a budget and it is split among eligible holders in proportion to the shares they hold.

• Only shares held continuously through the qualifying period before the payout count. If you sold and bought back, the lowest amount you held during that period is what counts
• The channel owner is excluded from their own payout
• Accounts banned from stock trading do not receive anything
• Payouts fit inside the vault balance and the daily payout cap of 150,000P

A dividend cannot be taken back once paid. Run the preview first to check how many holders qualify and how much each receives.

The index reads the temperature of the whole market from the market cap of listed stocks. The index itself cannot be traded; a separate stock tracks it. A stock nobody has bought yet has no market price and stays out of the index.

Your stock page gathers what you hold, your average cost, the liquidation value, unrealized profit, profit already realized by selling, and your trade history.

Your position is valued at what you would actually receive if you sold everything now, not at the current price times quantity. Selling walks back down the curve, which is why the two differ.

A weekly report is produced once a week and gives the past week a score and one signal — leaning buy, neutral, or leaning sell. Reports are private by default, so only the channel owner can see one until they switch it to public. How the score was derived is shown to the owner only. It is an in-game reference figure, not financial advice.
