It is possible to play a realistic Stock Market Game even if there is no (human) opponent. The reason for this is the fact that you can activate an Intelligent Computer Player (ICP) based on Artificial Intelligence. The ICP is able to act as 'market maker' and as a representative market participant. Actually, the ICP can trade shares with itself (normal players are not allowed to do that). Based upon ongoing scientific research the ICP has been trained to react to news events like real investors would. As the ICP is very rich it can easily influence the Stock Prices and make sure they behave like in the real world. The ICP does not want to maximize its profits (as such it does not compete with the human player), it is only programmed to create realistic dynamics in the stock market.
To play the Stock Market Game as a single player (against the ICP) you should follow the steps outlined below.
Go to the home page of Stock-Market-Game.com and have a careful look at the Current Stock Market Games table.
Check if there are Game Servers that are active, freely accessible, and free of any charge (we assume that you don't have access to a privileged and/or paid server).
Check out any appropriate Game Server that is available by clicking the URL (in the second column).
Observe the time table of the server that you selected. Determine a time frame that is well-suited for your game.
If there is no appropriate time frame available for your game to be played, you have to select another server (go back to step 1 - click the Stock-Market-Game.com logo in the right top corner of this webpage). Otherwise, click the 'here' hyperlink to create a new game.
Fill out the 'Schedule a New Game' form and click the submit button. Make sure to leave the Artificial Intelligence selection to the 'AI Computer Player' position. Also, do not enter a game duration that is too long as to allow other players to use the server.
Click the 'here' hyperlink to return to the Server's Home Page.
Observe how the new game is included in the schedule. At the specified start time the server will host your game and display the ONLINE label in the Status column.
Click the URL of the game that you created and observe the Logon screen.
Fill out the registration form to create a player account, and click the Submit button.
Click the 'here' hyperlink to return to the Server's Home Page.
Click the URL of the game that you created and observe the Logon screen.
Enter you User ID and Password, and click the Submit button.
Congratulations! You are now in the Trading Room of Stock-Market-Game.com.
Open a new Browser Window and go to the Server where your game is hosted.
Click the URL of the game that you created and observe the Logon screen.
Enter the User ID and Password of the Administrator (owner of the Game), and click the Submit button.
Observe the Administration Panel. You have various commands at your disposal. Also you should see a list of all players that have created an account.
Select the 'Reset Game' command, and click the Submit button.
Select the 'Create News' command, and click the Submit button.
Select the 'Start Game' command, and click the Submit button.
Observe the Administration Panel carefully. Very important: leave this screen open during the whole duration of the game! This page contains a so-called Pacemaker (inside an inline frame) that acts as clock, and causes the Stock Market to handle transactions!
Observe how the Players Trading Screen displays a lot of activity... You are now ready to play!

We may request personal information to be submitted
to our servers in order to be able to:
personalize online software applications according to your needs.
enforce strict security rules with respect to the data that you upload (e.g. statistical data).
manage user sessions of online applications
alert you about important changes or upgrades in resources or applications.
We NEVER allow other companies to directly offer registered users information about their products and services. Banner references and hyperlinks of third parties NEVER contain any personal data of the visitor.
We do NOT sell, nor transmit by any means, personal information, nor statistical data series uploaded by you to third parties.
We carefully protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, and destruction.

Statistical data series in private workspaces are protected against loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, and destruction caused by unauthorized individuals. However, at any time, and under any circumstance you are solely responsible for managing your passwords, and keeping them secret.
With the exception of the 'e-learning' environment (http://www.xycoon.com/moodle) your personal data is NEVER stored in the form of Cookies (not even temporarily). We examine cookies that are used by third-parties (banner and online ads) very closely: abuse from third-parties automatically results in termination of the advertising contract without refund. We have very good reason to believe that the cookies that are produced by Moodle do NOT cause any privacy or security risk.
Wessa.net, Stock-Market-Game.com, and Xycoon.com are safe. There is no need to download any software to use our applications and services.

As a general rule, we do not log on-line behavior of individuals (other than normal logging of webserver 'hits'). However, in cases of abuse, hacking, unauthorized access, Denial of Service attacks, or any other harmful behavior, Resa Corporation's system engineers are empowered to log, track, identify, publish, and ban misbehaving individuals - even if this leads to ban entire blocks of IP addresses, or disclosing user's identity.
