Aluna’s Exchange

You’ve built the businesses. Now graduate from operator to capitalist. Open the
Exchange app on your phone and a real trading terminal is waiting — tickers, charts,
a portfolio with live P/L, and the headline move: buy equity in your rivals and
pocket a slice of their weekly income while they do the work.

---

• Buy their whole empire — every AI rival is listed as a stock, valued off their real
  weekly income. Their price rises and falls as they expand or struggle.
• Or buy ONE of their businesses — drill into a rival and invest in a single shop
  (their coffee shop, their agency…), valued with the game’s own business valuation. Set the
  exact number of shares with the +/- steppers.
• Collect dividends — every in-game week, each stake pays you a cut of that rival’s
  (or that business’s) actual income.
• Short them — bet against a rival and profit when their price falls.

• Crypto — a dedicated tab with 5 coins (DIGI, BYTE, MOON, NOVA, AERO), pure-sentiment
  and wildly volatile.
• Commodities — Gold, Crude Oil, Coffee, Wheat, Natural Gas — mean-reverting around a
  fair value.
• REITs — real-estate trusts that pay weekly rent into your earnings.
• Index funds — AMEX 500 (the whole market) and a Blue Chip fund, in one click.
• Options — buy calls and puts (ATM or out-of-the-money) that settle at expiry.
• Margin — borrow against your holdings for up to 2x leverage (with daily interest).
• Your own company — take your empire public (YOUCO), trade it, and do buybacks.

• Market orders + limit orders ("buy if it drops 10%", "sell if it rises 20%").
• Watchlist — star anything to pin it to the top.
• Earn — high-yield savings + term bonds for safe, steady income.
• Income tab — your dividends, coupons and rent pool up here; tap COLLECT ALL
  to bank them, with a full lifetime breakdown.
• Live charts — price history, daily/weekly change, highs/lows, sparklines, market news
  pulled from the game’s real market events.

• Trades move real money from your bank. A bid/ask spread + commission make churning lossy.
• Capital-gains tax on your profits, at the game’s tax rate.
• You can own up to 49% of any rival (no hostile takeovers of an AI).
• Beat a rival in the world and watch their stock — and your stake — slide. If a rival folds,
  your position is liquidated. The strategy loops back on itself.

• Built for Big Ambitions EA 0.11. Zero dependencies, Harmony-free.
• The market is simulated (the game has no native stock market) but driven by your save’s
  real rival income, business valuations, and market events — so it’s grounded, not fake.
• It only reads rival/economy data — it never alters the game’s economy. The only thing it
  changes is your bank balance, when you trade or get paid. Your portfolio saves per game.
• Pairs with City News (market-moving headlines), and
  BizInsights and all my other Mods.
