If you think this mod is losing money for you, please click on the "Steam Guide" link in the description above, go to the "Troubleshooting & FAQ" section and read the third item, entitled "Q: Why does this mod keep losing money for me?" This will solve your problem.

Intyale - Most of what you list are known problems, and they are on my "to do" list to fix. Unfortunately, I have had a brutal schedule for quite a while, and I just haven't had time to work on this mod.

However, I realized that there's a simple way to prevent the mod from eating all your cookies right after a reincarnation just to buy stocks. I just have to put in a limit whereby a stock purchase is not made if it would consume more than 5% of the cookies in your bank. I'll try to get this done in the next week. However, this is not a replacement for an on/off switch, which will take more work.

As for your last point, there should be no way that the mod can trade stocks when the market is inaccessible. If it's inaccessible to you, it's inaccessible to the mod as well.

Deminox - It is virtually impossible for this mod to cause you to lose 1/5 of your profits in ten minutes. If you are looking at the field marked "Profits:" at the top of the stock market data (which is unfortunately misnamed), it may very well decrease by 1/5 in ten minutes. But the reason for this is that whenever a stock is bought (by the mod or by you), the purchase price is deducted from the "Profits:" figure. This money is not lost; it is merely invested in stocks in the only way possible. As the game progresses, the mod buys more stocks, which temporarily reduces the "Profits:" figure even more.

But this gradually changes with time, and within a few hours, even the "Profits:" figure should be in the green. Within a day, it definitely will be, and your profits will continue to increase day after day - guaranteed. It will make more profits over time than any other mod, and more than you can make yourself.

Please don't condemn a mod that has a 5-star rating from hundreds of users just because you don't understand what it's doing. And please read the documentation that is boldfaced in the Description above. The mod doesn't work the way you think it does; it is not "speculating". It uses an algorithmic approach tailored to the way this particular stock market works, and it never loses many over the long term (i.e., a day or more). For players in the advanced stages of the game, it is easy to win the Gaseous Assets achievement in less than two days by using this mod.

This thing made me lose 1/5 of my profits in ten minutes. As soon as I enabled it, bough the more expensive stocks until depleating my bank and sold them in a downward trend, What is this!? This isn't a hard minigame, you just by whe low, sell when high. This mod shouldn't be speculating with the stocks, it just need options to set a threshold: autobuy when stock are this low, sell when this high. That's all. It shouldn't be making decitions it's clearly not well equipped to make.

This mod could really use an option to turn the automation off :( Sometimes the circumstances aren't great (like early after an ascension) or I just wanna trade manually for a bit or I'm buying a lot and am going to have a low cookie balance for a while. It would be nice to turn it off temporarily without having to disable the whole mod and restart.

Also; is the mod supposed to be trading when the stock market is inaccessible? After ascension, it started trading as soon as I bought any farms.

can someone help me? For some reason better autoclicker doesn't work when autostocker is enabled. Mod manager says they're both enabled, but autoclicker menu just doesn't appear. I've changed priority of mods and enabled/disabled them one by one but still nothing. Both mods have their latest versions

Falmingkitter - I did not delete your post, nor have I ever deleted a post here.

The stock market's actions are inherently probabilistic, and the mod does the best it can with the information it has. From what I've seen, this appears to be much better than any other stock market mod for the game. It uses some nonintuitive strategies to achieve those results. It may lose occasionally, but thousands of hours of testing by me personally have shown that it wins several times more often than it loses, and the average win is at least several times as big as the average loss. The Gaseous Assets achievement, which many consider the hardest in the game to obtain, can be reached in less than two days with this mod in a fully upgraded, non-cheating game.

If you can do better on your own, or with another mod, especially over a period of days, please let me know.

Did you.. actually delete my comment? Cringe if true. This script is ignoring 15$ stocks to buy 100$ stocks, then selling those overpriced stocks at a loss a few ticks later when they dip. I understand what the "profits" metric means and I have no doubt the script will eventually turn a net profit, but I'm watching net-losses in real time from simple mistakes. I would rather hold on to those stocks until it recovers in 4 hours than panic sell at a loss.

Thanks for the reply, I totally missed that part in the mod description my bad, I'm used to settings being in-game
