How Prices Move
Prices tick every 30 minutes. Three things decide each tick:
| Factor | Effect |
|---|---|
| Volatility | The random component, per stock |
| Mean reversion | 5% pull back toward the starting price every tick |
| Market pressure | Buying pushes up, selling pushes down, at most ±6% a tick |
A single tick can move a price by at most ±20%.
Mean reversion is the whole strategy. A stock far below its starting price is being pulled back up every tick, and one far above is being pulled down — which makes the extremes the interesting moments, not the calm ones.
Market pressure only counts on the
global economy. On a private economy your
trades don't move the price, so CRPT behaves the same whether one member is
trading or fifty.
Alerts
The market view has an Alerts tab. You can be pinged when a stock moves by a percentage you choose, or on every tick.
