U-Mart2003

U-Mart 2003 was held as a demo session for ISAGA, an international academic conference where gaming business people gathered. Including all comers, many people from various universities and organizations applied for participation. Prototype of the new system (U-Mart System Version 2.0) was used. Log data was saved per item in CSV format files, and that enabled participants to analyze orders or etc. on the spot. After completion of the experiment, we had a debriefing to analyze the results together with the participants: secrets of the first prize agent’s strength, cause of rapid rise/down, etc.

【U-Mart2003】
◆Special Prize Winner
Mr. Fukumori, Ritsumeikan University who finished second to last among survivors.
Failure in selling escalation?
Creation of short positions --> Ones who repeatedly realized profits did this.
They made big profits halfway into the session...
Gradually they increased the quantity of the round lot --> Got involved in a sudden plunge.

◆Secrets of winners
・They reviewed the order history very carefully.
・They checked their own contract in detail.
・They ordered few, but secured profit per order without fault.
