# Ticker Tape Sports Exchange

> Ticker Tape Sports Exchange is a free, play-money stock market where NBA and NFL players and teams are the stocks. Players buy, sell and short shares of athletes and teams. Prices are set by trading and tend to settle near what each player's real production is worth. Nothing on the site involves real money: nothing can be bought, won or cashed out, and the site never asks for payment.

## How prices work
- Prices move only by trading: every buy nudges a price up and every sell nudges it down. A game does not move a price on its own, and there is no automatic drift or fade back toward value.
- Behind every price the site keeps a private estimate of what a player's production is worth (fair value), and the market tends to settle near it over time. Players never see the number.
- NBA fair value is built from the Tape Score, a box-score game score adjusted for shooting efficiency, offensive rebounds, fouls and a little plus-minus. NFL fair value uses PPR fantasy scoring plus standard IDP scoring for defenders, with position scarcity blended in, so an elite RB or WR is valued above an equal-scoring QB, the way fantasy drafts rank them.
- Fair value follows a recent-weighted run of games, so a run of games counts more than one outlier, and each player starts a new season from where the last one ended.
- About 1,000 automated house traders, all marked [BOT], trade alongside people. Some of them trade on value, which helps keep prices orderly. Every trade fills against the market, so there is always a buyer and a seller.
- Every trade carries a 1% fee, and there is no holding fee on shorts. Trading can't push a price more than 35% above or below what a player's play is worth.
- Team stocks are valued on team results (each final margin, adjusted for home court and the opponent's strength, from ESPN's preseason projection) and, like players, move only by trading. They are not tied to player prices.
- Trading halts during a game and reopens 30 minutes after the final at the same price it stopped at. Long injuries freeze a player at his pre-injury price.
- Market mood (bullish, neutral, bearish) says whether traders have bid a price above or below what recent play is worth.

## Contests
- Monthly and season contests per league. Each entry is a separate play-money portfolio starting at $10,000; ranked by return. Automated house traders (marked [BOT]) take part and can be hidden on leaderboards; they can never win.
