Future Development
In this thread, I will be detailing aspects of future development that I plan on implementing after the release of CookiStocker 2.0. I will keep this list update over time.
  1. Implement short selling, both for the trading program and for use in a standalone form by the player. Short selling would be available via a third row of action buttons in the main stock market display, right under the Buy and Sell rows with their various quantities. The third row would be entitled Short, and it would have the same buttons as the Buy and Sell rows.
  2. Implement a version of the trading algorithm that uses no nonpublic information. Currently, the only use of nonpublic information used in the trading algorithm is the stock's current and past modes. This is considered a cheat by many. A trading algorithm that did not use this information could be expected to produce most of the gains of the best trading algorithm without having the aspect that is most likely to be considered cheating. It would also allow for a manual trading strategy that uses this exact algorithm, which would be published, and which would definitely not be cheating.
  3. Add a switch to auto buy brokers, which would be on by default. Trading would not start before 80 brokers are hired, and the auto buy feature would stop at 100. More brokers could be bought manually, if desired.

I saw you said you don't plan on doing the Pastebins anymore. I have a Mac and don't particularly want to partition my computer or anything, so since Cookie Clicker is Windows only, there's not really a way for me to use the Steam version. Is there not some way to keep the Pastebins going?

It's my understanding that Cookie Clicker has not been ported to the Mac yet, at least according to Orteil's posts. When it is ported, there should be no problem in making the latest version CookiStocker available as well. Whether this is the Steam version, the free browser version, or both, will depend on exactly what Orteil does.

In retrospect, I am not completely ruling out the Pastebins either. Another possibility is Github, which Gingerguy already uses to store versions of CookiStocker. One way or another, it is my intention to support CookiStocker everywhere that Cookie Clicker is supported. Since CookiStocker is written entirely in JavaScript, this should not be very hard to do.

After a brief discussion with Gingerguy, it appears that there should be no reason why pastebins shouldn't work with CookiStocker. Therefore, I will be implementing them and keeping them up to date starting with the imminent release of CookiStocker 2.0.
