1. Introduction
This document is the Initial Public Offering for Vahrokh Financial Technologies [VAHFT] series of Mutual Funds. VAHFT is the implementor and executor of the business ideas created by Vahrokh Consulting [VAHCO]. This document is a follow up to the original draft and material to be found at this location.
Perspective Investors are warmly encouraged reading the whole text paying attention to all the details. Due to the amount of involved facilties and prospectuses, this IPO will just refer to them as links to their official repository, located on Vahrokh.com. The prospectuses are very similar to the Vanguard(tm) RL funds ones. For book keeping purpose, those documents will be translated into an EvE forums compatible version upon Investors request.
For general introductory texts about what funds are and how they work, please refer to this post.
2. Overview
VAHFT is about to launch a series of Mutual Funds within the Vahrokh's EvE's Merchantile Exchange [VEMEX]. The purpose of this IPO is to raise Investors capital to finance the initiative. VAHCO is going to be invested as well, for an amount of 10B evenly spread across the funds. Funds are meant to be a long term investment, however Investors may choose to stay invested for as little as one month. VAHFT opted to offer a series of multiple funds in order to cater to different Investor preferences. The products cover a broad spectrum, from a "no brainer" simplified open end fund to more speculative funds based on Tech 2 materials.
3. Funds offering
This IPO covers five Funds: one open ended Fund and four close ended ones. A comprehensive listing of VAHFT managed funds including the ones included in this offer is available on the VAHFT page. A lot of discussion and explanations about the Funds has been done on the draft thread.
Easy Fund [ESYFND] is the no brainer, no-nonsense open end fund for everyone. Lowest fees, no secondary market, you just put money in and receive monthly (end of month) dividends. Like the other IPOs and unlike bonds, those dividends are variable. Due to its underlying portfolio, it is also the Fund with the smoothest (but not top) performance. For a full description and details about the Easy Fund please refer to the official prospectus, available at this location.
Adaptive Minerals Basket [MINBSK] is the high liquidity and lowest cost closed fund for Investors who want to take advantage of being able and trade shares on an exchange. They will also receive monthly dividends. The Fund is based on an ever changing basket of minerals. For a full description about the Adaptive Minerals Basket Fund please refer to the official prospectus, available at this location.
Adaptive Ices Basket [ICEBSK] is the high liquidity and low cost closed fund for Investors who want to take advantage of being able and trade shares on an exchange. They will also receive monthly dividends. The Fund is based on an ever changing basket of ices and related materials (i.e. heavy water). For a full description about the Adaptive Ices Basket Fund please refer to the official prospectus, available at this location.
Adaptive Tech II Basket [T2BSK] is the speculative closed fund for Investors who want to take advantage of being able and trade shares on an exchange. They will also receive monthly dividends. The Fund is based on an ever changing basket of moon and advanced Tech II materials. For a full description about the Adaptive Tech II Basket Fund please refer to the official prospectus, available at this location.
Adaptive Planetary Interaction Basket [BSK] is another speculative closed fund for Investors who want t... Auditing | Collateral holding and insurance | Consulting | PLEX for Good Charity

4. VEMEX Exchange
All the Funds covered by this IPO will be traded on the Vahrokh's EvE's Merchantile Exchange [VEMEX]. Easy Fund Investors will have little interaction with it, in fact at IPO launch they'll receive their shares and everything will go on autopilot until they want to redeem them (redeeming is done by "selling" on the Exchange). Perspective Easy Fund Investors who will join the Fund after the IPO launch will have to use the Exchange to purchase the shares instead.
In this first iteration, VEMEX is a traditional, teller based securities trading exchange. There's a quite detailed page explaining in detail how it works, possible fees and so on.
This version of VEMEX is based on a Google Spreadsheet available at this location.
Illustrated usage examples about how to use the exchange to setup orders are provided in the draft thread, at this post.
In case of difficulties, please feel free to EvE-Mail me and ask about your issue.
5. Business Plan Overview
The Funds Manager will perform a number of activities, namely:
- Invest in fully collateralized loans and bonds (Easy Fund only). - Buy and hold and then sell the various Funds underlying commodities (long term strategy). - Station trade the various Funds underlying commodities (short term strategy). - Decide if and when to switch from long to short term strategy or when use a mix of the two. The short term strategy will be mostly used during downturns of the markets (see summer). As a safety precaution, lower profits will be chosen over overwork leading to burnout. - Constantly evaluate the current baskets underlying commodities, in order to take in the better performers and out the worse performers. - Decide one or multiple hedging strategies, including saving some of the profits made in the best seasons in order to release them during the worst ones (this makes the investment curve smoother). - Decide how much capital to keep liquid. This is going to be expecially prevalent on the Easy Fund, because Investors may come and go as they wish and thus a certain guaranteed liquidity has to be held.
6. Management
Due to the number of tasks involved at managing the Funds, there will be a management fee, in the meausure of 7 percent on the net capital gains. Full details about this and other aspects about the Funds are available at each Fund's prospectus page.
After the reservation phase is over and Investors have sent their money, each of them will receive a corresponding number of shares. From now on, Easy Fund Investors have nothing else to do, while the others may either do nothing (and just take dividends) or trade their shares.
7. Expansion and Exit Strategies
In case the funds are performing very well and are close to their caps, they may be expanded. Closed end funds will have additional shares issued and current Investors holdings will be adjusted so that their shares don't get diluted. Notice how this is going to be a very rare event. The Easy Fund is open ended instead, so it may potentially grow forever. It is going to be capped however, the planned total NAV across all the funds is 100B, with a forecast ability to output a 2 percent ROI.
In case the Funds have to shut down, the Management will do the possible to liquidate the underlying stock as fast as possible. This may take a while in case of low EvE activity periods of the year.
8. Investor Key Facts
- At IPO launch, the shares face value is 1M ISK. This applies to all the funds.
- Dividends will be paid monthly, possibly within the end of the first week of the month. The first dividends will be paid on December.
- Dividends will be calculated as 90 percent of the profit less the management fee. It is possible that some profits could be held to improve the "low of the year" months performance.
- VAHFT may force buyback of shares at their nominal value (in example, in case of Funds shutdown or downsizing). If possible buybacks will be notified a month in advance. Buybacks will be spread across all the Investors of the affected Fund.
- There is a grand total NAV cap currently set at 100B. The closed end Funds total NAV cap is currently set at 60B, leaving 40B for the Easy Fund. Depending on the IPO success, these caps may be altered but the 100B grand total cap is here to stay. At first, Market Makers will be limited to 40B (of the closed end Funds, the only available to them).
- All the IPO launch shares incur in no fee whatsoever and they will not need to do anything on the exchange at all. Only post launch activities will and usually only in case of sales.
- Easy Fund Investors may simply redeem their shares, they don't have a secondary market. They may also trade their shares out of the exchange but then they will have to notify VAHFT about that, otherwise the old shareholder will still receive the dividends. In case of private trading, the former share holder is meant to give a pro-rated dividend to the new share holder. In no circumstance VAHFT or VEMEX will disburse missing dividends.
- Closed end Fund Investors may not just redeem shares. Like for stocks trading, they have to find a buyer on the exchange. VAHFT provides a "bailout" emergency mechanism so that even closed end Fund Investors may directly sell their shares back to VAHFT itself, but with a fixed penalty of 8 percent. Added to the exchange fee, this easily becomes 10 percent.
- The ability to short sell is only available to closed end Funds. VAHFT may decide at their sole discretion to stop accepting short sell orders (they require additional liquidity). Auditing | Collateral holding and insurance | Consulting | PLEX for Good Charity

- Only the current owner of a share receives the full dividend. Therefore it's advised to sell shares near the end of the month. This includes Easy Fund Investors who want to redeem their shares.
- In case of large redeeming operations, VAHFT reserve the undisputable right to partially liquidate Investors ASAP and the remaining part as stock is liquidated. This issue will be greatly reduced in case the Investor contacts the Management (Vaerah Vahrokha, please always use EvE Mail so to have written records) in advance. Two weeks would be the optimum.
9. Market Makers
Only at IPO launch and at expansions, large Investors may choose to be a Market Maker. Market Makers have unique features and limitations:
- They will only pay 96 percent of face value, that is 0.96M per share. This is a potential 400M profit - fees just by flipping those shares on the secondary market.
- They must tell about their will to be Market Maker at reservation phase and no later.
- They only belong to the closed end funds, since there's no market to make in the Easy Fund.
- Minimum shares block: 10B in the preferred fund(s). It's possible to spread those 10B across multiple close ended funds.
- They cannot emergency redeem shares for 3 months. They have to tell Vaerah Vahrokha about their intention to bail out well in advance, since taking away their large investment will cause liquidity issues on the Fund(s).
10. Significant Risks
No investment is without risks. Please don't invest more than you may affort do lose. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
A list of potential investment risks is provided at the end of each Fund Prospectus.
Besides the above list, there are others:
- Risk of scam. The Fund Manager strives to be as honest as humanly possible. Trust is earned, not given. The Fund Manager knows it and accepts Investors may have their doubts.
- Risk of injury: in case of non disabling disease / sickness / trauma, the The Fund Manager will try resume the Funds operation ASAP.
- External causes: in case of debilitating technical issues or any kind of game stopping issues, The Fund Manager will try resume the Funds operation ASAP.
- Risk of death: this IPO is an extremely complex project. I don't know anybody in RL who could take over or even who could manage how to liquidate everything. Therefore in case of death the invested money will be probably lost or partially lost.
11. Reservations
As anticipated in another post, no shares reservations will be accepted before a post of mine will state that the reservations are open. Such post should appear at 2012-10-21 9pm EvE time.
Reservations will work on a first come, first served basis up to the stated caps. Investors indicating their interest past those caps have been reached have still chances. In fact if some Investor will not send ISK within 3 days after the reservations are over or if a cap is modified then they'll be the next in line.
12. Delegations
It's possible to name a Delegate to reserve your shares in your place. This is expecially useful in case you cannot participate to the reservations. Both the Delegate and the Investor have to post about their intention. During the reservations, the Delegate will have to specify the exact portfolio else his reservation will be void.
13. Purchase Details
The IPO will work as follows:
1) A specific message posted as described at chapter 11. Reservations will begin the reservation phase.
2) Once the reservation phase is over (might take some days) a second message will state how the reservations are over. However. if the Funds are still not capped, perspective Investors will still be able to place reservations. The message is only to remind everybody that there are 3 (three) days left to send ISK. After those 3 days, their reservation will automatically be void and whever wants in will be free to invest in their place.
Please feel free to ask for any clarification. Most of the answers are probably covered by the draft discussion thread. Auditing | Collateral holding and insurance | Consulting | PLEX for Good Charity

Not now please, I have to let people reserve their shares, see whether to expand the cap on the closed end funds (in case the Easy Fund does not completely fill) and so on.
As stated in the prospectus at point 13, people will be able to reserve (no guarantee to be able and take them!) till I'll post a reservation closure statement. The statement will also contain instructions about what corporation to send ISK to.

Please do not send ISK to this character! Auditing | Collateral holding and insurance | Consulting | PLEX for Good Charity

Yes, but the point of tickers is to give usable short acronyms with as little chance of mistake as possible. Spaces are enemies of that concept since people tend to liberally put different amounts of them. Auditing | Collateral holding and insurance | Consulting | PLEX for Good Charity

* * * RESERVATIONS TEMPORARILY DISABLED * * *
I am calculating and inputting all the reservations gathered so far.
Once I am done, if there's still some space left I'll reopen the reservations.
In case I am already beyond the 100B cap, I am sorry but those who reserved last will have another option:
They have to wait for the exchange to open (ETA, end of the month) and then simply buy shares put for sale by some of the current Investors. To do so, they will just need to fill in the order form with a buy order and send ISK. Notice how LIMIT orders have not been implemented.
Therefore they'll have to use either direct (called MARKET orders) orders or buy orders (called BUY STOP orders, like in RL). Both of those orders don't give guarantee of exact fill at the requested price (in EvE you either get that or you get an error message), if another trader's order arrived 1 second before yours, you'll get the next best price. The next best price could be the same (in case of several shares sold at same price) or the next higher price step. Auditing | Collateral holding and insurance | Consulting | PLEX for Good Charity

Important Update please read and reply ASAP
The IPO met way, way more success than I'd believe.
The closed ended funds reservations space ran out at beginning of page 2, Towaoc is the last Investor who fit in.
I have not finished calculating the open ended (easy) fund - for reasons explained below - but we are at 34.25B / 40B at page 2 as well. I am very afraid for people who I REALLY wanted in, like TornSoul and several first time small Investors I'd have loved to give a chance and experience something new in EvE.
Therefore, the following choices come up:
1) Everybody past Towaoc who reserved a closed fund cannot fit and will have to try his luck purchasing shares off the Investors who made it in (on the Exchange).
2) Expand the total fund NAV.
There's also a second decision to take limited to those who (past Towaoc) reserved both ESYFND and the other shares.
1) Preserve the ESYFND reservation and drop the closed end funds reservation.
2) Drop the whole reservations including ESYFND since your closed end funds reservation did not make in.
The ESYFND reservations too go beyond the 40B cap so, once again, not all will fit in.
I eyeball the total NAV required to hold every reservation to be 130-150B.
So, I am going to ask you, the Investors, two questions:
1) Are you against expanding the NAV to fit more Investors (but not above 150B, past that it becomes a nightmare to provide dividends).
If you are against, please write your name down.
2) In case point 1 shows people against the NAV increase:
If you reserved ESYFND plus closed end funds shares, are you OK dropping the closed funds reserved shares and just reserve the ESYFND shares? If you are not, it means you are cancelling the reservation.

Maybe, put a cap on each reservation per fund? I know a lot of people like to invest big in one basket, but that tends to push out others.
Maybe a 1 BN ISK cap for the closed and 2 BN ISK cap for the Easy. That way the big investors still get a sizeable chunk, but more investors can come to the table.
If that isn't an option, I'm willing to cut my investment in half to 250 million so some some others can invest. I much prefer the first idea though :p. PlanetCorp very much wants to make this our first big name investment in our portfolio and we tend not to invest less than 500 million if we can help it.
Anyway, I'll go either way on it. |

That's a shame but not unexpected.
Would it be possible to move other funds from the other baskets to the easyfund? So my 250mil each way becomes 1.25bil in one basket? Or am I limited to 250mil investment? I understand that not all the data has been tabulated so I am refraining from committing until that time.
And I share the same questions as Val'Dore, would this be a possibility? And likewise, if it is a case of the many before the few, I would also like to be limited to 250mil if it means more can get in on this.
Either way, this is your show and I respect your final say on judgements. |

Hello VV,
At the risk of sounding greedy or ignorant I'm going to post a couple of my thoughts, this post can always be edited.
One of the things you wanted to create was a secondary market for shares if I read things correctly, would keeping the NAV at the initial number not be a good thing to help stimulate trading of shares via players?
Will increasing the NAV cause more headache, bring about burnout? Can the NAV be increased at a later date, perhaps after you have ran this for a while and have a good feeling for the workload?
While I sympathize with the people who did not make the IPO in time, I feel that increasing the NAV may not be the best thing to do at this time.
Feel free to persuade me other wise, my scope of finances is still very limited.

- Irken I agree with Irken Slushki's well worded post above. Do not increase NAV for the following very subjective reasons: 1. As a market maker it is in my interest that fewer people get the opportunity to invest now. 2. Increasing NAV at this stage indicates poor planning (also frequently seen in scams). There was enough interest in this project to predict that the ceiling will be hit pretty soon. Thus go with the original plan. 3. Do not overburden yourself. Managing this will be difficult enough.
As I said above, these are my subjective opinions and not based on scientific inquiry. |

Ok, I'll stick with the original plan.
I'll post later a Google Docs Excel Sheet with all the Investors names, amounts etc.
As for those who reserved both ESYFND shares and other funds, I am going to temporarily put them in for ESYFND only.
If you are one of the Investors who reserved both kinds of shares please let me know if you are ok at proceeding as is (that is, you'll only participate in the ESYFND) or if you want to cancel the reservation entirely.
Important details you have not to miss in case you could not make in:
- This is not a bond (buy and hold), shares will be placed on the exchange (expecially by Market Makers) for everybody to buy, like a normal EvE market.
- Who will buy after launch will still pay ZERO fees or anything. That is, if you have 11M and buy shares at 1.1M each then you get 11 shares no less.
- Watch the first Market Makers sell orders, some might want to cash the discount in and propose shares at a convenient price.
- Expect some large oscillations in the first days, it happens in every new market (see what happened to PI materials when they implemented PI).

I have heard the Investors concerns and as such (as I posted above), the 100B cap won't be changed.
However I'd like to give you a little clarification about "hurting" current Investors:
No, it would not since there's no share dilution before the funds start (the NAV and shares both are in a fixed proportion of 1M per share).
Actually, there'd be more markets liquidity.

You did not miss anything but the launch . The Exchange will be up and running once the Market Makers sent me ISK (I will tell when to) and then all you'll have to do is to open this link and place your bid!

I don't care about the NAV, I care about what I can flip the shares for after launch. I want demand to be high, and supply to be low. Increasing the number of shares would decrease demand (since more people got in already) and increase supply. I'll leave it to your expert analysis what that would do with the price I could get for my shares.

Update
Here is the current listing of all the Investors whose reservation fully or partially made it in the investment 100B cap.
I warmly invite everyone to check their records and signal possible omissions or mistakes.
The closed end funds part should be final. Market Makers will have a little headstart so that they may study how to place their stock on the market.
The ESYFND part might still see some of the following Investors retracting their reservations, if they feel so. I need those Investors opinion ASAP since tomorrow morning (EvE time) I'll start accepting ISK.
The following names will receive an EvE-mail asking about their choice. If some of them will withdraw their reservation then the next in line will take their place, wholly or partially.
Ford Chicago, the 1B ESYFND reservation fit in the cap, the other funds' reservations did not. Kama Sutramax, the 200M ESYFND reservation fit in the cap, the other fund reservation did not. Seth Quantix, the 200M ESYFND reservation fit in the cap, the other funds' reservations did not. Rebecca Cairn asked for 2.5B "on each fund". I understand it means 2.5B on the ESYFND as well. In this case, the 2.5B ESYFND reservation fit in the cap, the other funds' reservations did not. Graygor, the 250M ESYFND reservation fit in the cap, the other funds' reservations did not. Dean Ozuwara, 100M out of your ESYFND reservation fit in the cap, the other funds' reservations did not. Auditing | Collateral holding and insurance | Consulting | PLEX for Good Charity

Update
Rebecca Cairn disabled email replying, therefore I could not send her the notice of partial fill.
In case she won't reply before the ISK sending phase (3 days for retail Investors) her reservation will be void and the next Investors in line will take her spot.
I take this opportunity to explain two concepts:
1) Please disable CSPA charges for the following names:
Vaerah Vahrokha VEMEX Monica Vahrokh's EvE's Merchantile Exchange
The last name should be interchangeable (including for right click linking) with VEMEX.
Due to the amount of mails I will have to send (thousands), I will have to charge back the CSPA charge on those who leave it on the characters / corps above.
2) Please don't disable inbound eve-mails like Rebecca Cairn did. You will never get orders receipts nor orders tracking numbers (handles) . Without those numbers you will never be able to change / delete your orders.

This exchange and the implemented funds are completely realistic in every smallest details except:
1) Everything is available to scrutiny, you can download the Excel files (until I implement an automated thing) and look at all the formulas, which are taken from RL security examples (Vanguard funds).
2) There are some simplifications to keep the investment affordable for regular human beings. This means no multiple class fund shares and some intricate coefficients (i.e. varying fees depending on subscriptions years or amounts you purchase). Whenever there's some odd formula, there's something to help you out to do all without getting crazy. I.e. if you sell a security and incur in a fee, you'll see the final amount without having to add all sorts of math.
In RL the banker / broker and their websites do the same things but you cannot dissect and study them. Here you can. Auditing | Collateral holding and insurance | Consulting | PLEX for Good Charity

Addendum for the ESYFND Investors only and only for those willing to purchase or sell shares after the launch. (That is, those who made it in this launch phase, have to do nothing at all).
All of this does not apply to the Closed end funds at all.
TLDR Pricing for the open fund shares are approximate (usually within some percent) because of how the underlying mechanics work.
Long version Open mutual funds (as I said several times) don't have a secondary market, the price of their shares is determined by the fund NAV / number of outstanding shares +/- applicable fees.
This has a tangible implication: NAV has to be known in order to price shares (duh!). Like in RL funds, ESYFND NAV is calculated once a day, after the market has closed. But you buy / sell a share during the day and that day's NAV at that time has yet to be determined (if you can buy / sell it's because the market is still open). So, you buy and sell shares seeing prices made on prior day's NAV, which is necessarily going to be different than the NAV you shares were calculated with.
Here is the official Investopedia mechanic explained.
The most relevant excerpt is this:
Quote: All mutual funds' buy and sell orders are processed at the NAV of the trade date. However, investors must wait until the following day to get the trade price.
So here is the exact process explained for the average Joe:
1) Imagine today you want to buy 3 shares . 2) You go on the Exchange and see the shares quoted at 1,100,000. 3) You copy the Order Form or download the Excel sheet and fill in quantity etc. The Excel form will say total = 3,300,000 (plus fees if any, see the Exchange fees calculator to the right - you should get no fee for buying).
At this point you can pick one two choices: the first takes longer but you only send the exact amount you want.
4) You send the Order Form via EvE mail to VEMEX. You do not send ANY money. 5) The next day you get the real price, usually sligthly different than what you have seen at step 2). 6) At this point you send the amount you were told in the reply eve-mail. 7) You get sent another EvE-Mail confirming the order has been processed and now the new shares are yours!
Second choice:
4) You send the amount shown at 2) plus 10%. 5) Right after that, you send the Order Form via EvE mail to VEMEX, clearly indicating how you paid ISK + 10% in advance. 6) The next day, in one step you get sent:
- the real price - the shares - the unspent portion of that 10%. Of course if NAV actually decreased you'll get back more than that 10%. Auditing | Collateral holding and insurance | Consulting | PLEX for Good Charity

I have started receiving some orders on the exchange.
Two little points:
1) The Exchange will certainly start processing orders after it got the ISK from the Investors not right now 
2) Market orders are always executed at market price (hence the (RL) name). That is any price you specify will be ignored since the market orders are the EvE equivalent to "dump to buy orders" or "directly buy from sell orders".

I'd like to know if the Investors are OK for me to reduce the fees.
In the OP I linked the various funds prospectuses, if you are OK I'll modify those as well.
Basically the exchange fees will stay the same and the loads will decrease:
- Open end fund = 1% exchange fee and 1% fund fee. Fees ATM only apply on selling. - Closed end funds = 2% exchange fee and 1 less % fund fee compared to the prospectuses. Fees ATM only apply on selling.

The Exchange is up
A link to Version 1.0 of the exchange is now available at this location.
Please take some time to look at it. It is a quite detailed implementation, I'll write instructions about how to use it.
INVESTORS MAY SEND ISK NOW
Instructions:
1) Read the instructions to the end.
2) You don't have to do anything with the exchange.
3) If you reserved shares on more than one fund, then please send the ISK separately for each fund. Why? Because in case somebody (i.e. Grendell) wants to check that everything is being done in a correct way, it's much easier if the ISK amounts match the reservations you made on this thread.
4) Still for transparency sake, please put a comment on that ISK sending. I.e. write "Purchase of 1500 ESYFND shares".
5) If you are a Market Maker you are eligible to the 4 percent discount. I.e. if you reserved 10B you'll:
- send 9.6B (10B - 4 percent) - put on it a comment similar to: "Purchase of 10,000 MINBSK shares as Market Maker".
I'll figure out if you really are a market maker from the Investors database.
6) Send ISK to VEMEX / Vahrokh's EvE's Merchantile Exchange (both should right click => auto link => corporation to the same). Do not send ISK to anybody or anything else. In case you are contacted by anyone claiming to act in my place, he's a scammer.
That's it. If you have doubts or whatever, feel free to eve-mail me.
NON FIRST INVESTORS
If you did not make it in the reservations or just want to get shares, you have to wait to November 1st. At that date the Exchange will open for non first investors and you can buy and sell shares like you can do in any EvE market.
The Open ended fund will probably show "0 shares" in the ASK listing until one of the first investors will decide to redeem their shares (not possible for the first month).
The closed ended funds should have shares for sale early enough. When you purchase a share you don't pay any fee or fund "load". Only when you sell them.

ESYFND investment strategy and assets allocation
For the first month ESYFND will keep low spare ISK for share redemptions (in fact there will be none) so to maximize the potential profit with no dormant liquidity.
Once the initial phase is over, ESYFND may opt to hire liquidity providers in case of sudden large liquidations. The default liquidity provider will be VAHFT itself. VAHFT will have an increasing available liquidity starting from February 2013 up to about 20B. This arrangement will also be activated in case ESYFND will participate in 3rd party fully collateralized investments. VAHFT will take a 1% cut off those deals as payment for the liquidity providing service.
Of course if there are willing 3rd party liquidity providers who want to participate, I'll check their offers, as long as their service won't cost more than 1% of the provided sums.
Assets allocation:
Al launch, it's planned to have a NAV equal to 40B. While waiting for 3rd party collateralized opportunities to show up, that NAV will be invested in the other funds. As ESYFND is not meant to be highly speculative (and thus risky) it will put 20B on MINBSK, 10B on ICEBSK and 5B on each T2BSK and PIBSK.

Great plan for initial allocation of ESYFND assets, although these investements will materially alter the size of each basket fund. Do you anticipate any adverse impact to the basket fund investment strategies resulting from the sizeable inflows (and, presumably, eventual outflows)? Might be helpful to expand upon how the mechanics of the ESYFND investments will work. For example, let's say ESYFND has an opportunity to place a 10b collaterized investment. How will ESYFND liquidate 10b in basket fund holdings?

Too many replies to quote so I'll go Twitter style.
@Towaoc
1) Thank you for your interest. The liquidity service (in RL and in EvE) is meant exactly to provide short injections of ISK in case of fund liquidity shortage.
I am still studying the practical implementation, I could either implement an assets swap (like they do for ETFs) i.e. you get the equivalent in minerals for the "loan" duration as collateral. Or I could throw some of my own stuff, but it's not as clean, since my assets have nothing to do with the funds.
2) About the ESYFND "interactions" I had to beat my head a lot but I came up with a decent solution. I am going to simplify a bit. Basically at day zero a coefficient between the distinct NAVs of the various closed funds and ESYFND has been calculated. It's not just a direct coefficient, as ESYFND (as posted earlier) NAV is not evenly allocated along the others. The aggregate coefficient is used to split ESYFND NAV in portfolios. In the first month (no ESYFND shares sale) it will track the other funds, a bit like an index. Afterwards, two portions are reallocated to leave room for some investments and free cash for shares redemption.
The whole thing produced some quite large Excel sheets, actually 13 sheets. Part of them are database backed. The amount of math is enough that when I update a cell, it takes a visible delay to propagate the changes.
@Tornsoul
You did not see your name because the 100B filled within some hours and further Investors were put in queue (in case others don't fill their reservation by Oct 31). But please see below @Grendell.
@Samroski The queue is quite long.
@Grendell
If you'd like to split your reservation with Tornsoul, be welcome! I suppose you'll take 10B each?
Also, if you are OK with it, I can send you API keys of VEMEX teller, VAHFT so you can check the various transactions being done.
Of course I already borked a transaction, as Graygor sent money to the wrong place and when re-routing it in the correct wallet, made the correct wallet glitch a bit.

You asked a question "could I...", not a proper (imperative writing) reservation.
However I don't think the other Investors would riot if I took 20M (out of 100B) beyond the cap.
Let's see today if anyone has strong feelings against taking the 20M, if they don't then I am ok. Auditing | Collateral holding and insurance | Consulting | PLEX for Good Charity

V'en appears to be a relatively new player and I'd be delighted to give 20 of my shares to him, which will hopefully fix this within the cap.

Hello, you only sent 2 x 240M and not 2 x 250M.
If you are OK with that, I will give the resulting 20M "hole" to V'en. Please tell me about your choice so I can arrange with Samroski.

For some reason you sound quite hostile. Samroski is going to solve your concern. "Solve" within friendly terms is the constructive approach imo. BTW you are Market Maker if you want the headstart you should send ISK sooner than later.

Yes that's why I am more concerned to help him in with his 20M than others with their billions. If was going to give him another solution, but yours sure works. I am glad to have constructive Investors (capital " I " is deserved) like you on board.
Now, I noticed another Investor did not send 20M (see first reply in this post). If he won't reply or won't fill it up, then the 20M space could come from him. Otherwise, I'll be more than glad to accept your solution.

I would've phrased it differently, but you specifically wanted to see if anyone had "strong feelings". Making the message less direct (what you interpret as "hostile") and more polite might have given the impression that I don't feel strongly about the cap.
As for my investment, I haven't been ingame since you posted that isk could be sent. I will send the isk at my convenience, before the deadline set by you.
It is never too late to turn from the errors of your ways: He who repents of his sins is almost innocent.

Aha, so that is why. Must admit I didn't add up the numbers at the time, thought there was plenty to go.

Please wait until November 1, as the whole fund is reserved. However, some Investors seem to have stopped following the investment even if they reserved shares. In that case on Nov 1 their reservations will be all void so, you'll be able to buy the shares directly on the exchange.

How to use the Exchange
Introduction
This exchange has been quite complex to put together but if you follow these instructions it'll be easy enough to use.
I'll cover the easy and common case first so that most Investors are done with this document quick, then I'll cover the ramifications. Some of them (like the "personal account" topic) should be read by everyone, but only after you read the first part. By default the exchange attempts to model a RL exchange as much as possible while still presenting EvE elements. When the EvE elements clash with the RL corresponding features, the RL features take precedence. If you ever used a simple RL stock portfolio management software you'll feel quite at home.
Accessing the exchange
Go to this location. It points to a page with some instructions, a listing of features but most of all, with a link to the actual front end. That's it. The current iteration is entirely teller based so you don't need to enter credentials or anything.
The Overview tab
As soon as you start the exchange you'll see a "quick glance" screen called Overview. It lets you gauge how all the funds (securities) are doing at the moment of the last update. Last update is an important concept, each security comes with such a property.
The following screenshot shows numbers associated to the various visible objects. Most are repeated all through the other screens, so you just need to learn them once. There's a series of rows, each shows a different security.
1) Symbol: stock-alike security ticker, your fund(s) are quickly identified by this acronym. The exchange supports other securities that might be added in the future. It's just the familiar ESYFND / MINBSK etc. tickers.
2) Type: this tells the kind of security. Of course as of now we only have funds so that's what you'll see.
3) Issuer: corporation ticker of who issued the securities. In case other players will want to list their stocks, this will tell whose corp those stocks are.
4) Bid: this is the top buy order's price. In EvE this would be just the top buy order. When you dump shares to buy orders, it's the price you'll get. The RL orders who act like this are called "market orders".
5) Ask: this is the lowest sell order's price. In EvE this would be just the price you'll pay for directly buying from the market. The RL orders who act like this are called "market orders".
6) Change: this is the price change since the last day / session.
7) Updated: date and time of last security listing update. A security that last traded one week ago will show a week old time stamp.
8) Name: the full or "friendly" name of the fund / security.
9) Description: short text detailing what the fund / security is about.
10) Service message: tells the current exchange status. In fact it's not always open or operating since it's based on me half manually managing the transactions.
The Easy Fund tab
This and all the remaining tabs are the detail view and order form for a specific fund (security). Easy Fund Investors will of course want to use this tab, MINBSK Investors will use the Minerals Fund tab and so on. All the Investors should read these instructions since most concepts are re-used through all the other tabs.
The window is divided in panes. Feel free to ignore anything else, some features like Excel charting are not supported by Google Docs so just skip those. Don't get scared by the initial impression, you can ignore most of that stuff!
As shown on this screenshot, there are three main panes:
a) General fund (security) details. If you want things the simplest way, you may usually ignore it. I will write instructions about this at the end of the instructions.
b) Orders book. ESYFND Investors may ignore it as well.
c) Order form. This is the pane you want to check out, you need it to buy or sell your shares.
Let's see this order form in detail by looking at this screenshot.
1) Symbol: just the fund / security ticker. Basically "ESYFND" again.
2) Operation: BUY is the row to use to buy shares. Sell is the row to use in order to sell shares.
3) Order type: ESYFND Investors only use MARKET orders, that is immediate buy or sale of shares. You may basically ignore this.
4) Price: this is the current shares price. ESYFND Investors will notice how both buy and sell price is the same. This is also why they may safely ignore the Orders Book, ESYFND is a no-hassle approach to investing.
5) Quantity: this is where to specity how many shares to buy or sell.
6) Expiration: you may ignore this.
7) Order ID: This is a very important field! This is the tracking order number for whatever you do. You will receive this number as reply of your operations, it's your receipt and only reference you can use to fix possible issues.
8) Fees: this is the sum of fund and broker transaction fees (if any). The IPO original post and the Vahrokh.com VEMEX page show where to find information about those. They are also stated on the General fund (security) details pane above. VEMEX generally won't charge for buy operations.
9) Total: this is the final amount to send to the exchange (buy operations) or the amount you'll receive (sell operations). See the end of this document for very important details about pricing in a dynamically changing market. At the bottom of this column there's a total. Purchases are indicated with a negative, red number (they reduce your money), sales with a positive, green number. If you have a mix of buy and sell operations you only need to send this total (if in red), in fact sell operations effectively reduce the amount to send.

How to send your orders
1) Copy the relevant row(s) text in an EvE-mail. You don't need to copy the numbers under "ISK to send or receive". Example:
ESYFNDSELLMARKET1,000,000.001GTC0
2) Then alter the quantity for the wanted amount. Example:
ESYFNDSELLMARKET1,000,000.0015GTC0
3) If you are buying, send the ISK stated in the "Total" cell (15M in this case) to VEMEX / Vahrokh's EvE's Merchantile Exchange. If possible, put a description like: "ESYFND SELL order".
4) Then send an EvE-Mail with the text stated at point 2.
Once the mail has been sent, I'll process it (it might take a while, I have a life). As reply, you'll get another email with your order number (you don't really need it for ESYFND operations except if problems arise) and the updated number of shares in your possession.
If you sold, you'll get ISK sent to you instead. That's it.
For quite important additional informations about prices please check the end of this manual ("The issue with moving markets prices").
Nota bene: there's an additional consideration to be said about ESYFND: when the fund is capped, it's impossible to buy new shares, any buy orders will be ignored. The amount of available shares for purchase is stated in the Order Book to the right. If under "ASK" the yellow row (Orders) says zero, then there is a cap being enforced and no shares are available for purchase.
How are share prices determined
ESYFND as open end fund follows the standard pricing: share price = NAV / number of outstanding shares.
The Minerals / Ices / T2 / PI Fund tabs
The other funds windows are simliar to the ESYFND one, but with more options.
Looking at this screenshot, it's possible to see the same basic structure, except a larger Orders Book and Order form.
The Order Book represents a so called "Depth Of Market" (DOM) view (a feature some times charged a premium in RL markets or not available at all). It's functionally similar to the EvE market orders window. The upper (green) part represents the sell orders, the lower (red) part show the buy orders, including up to 10 entries. The prices are placed exactly like in the EvE window and work the same. The quantity colum, unsurprisingly enough, represents the amount of available shares for each price level.
The Order Form, is similar to the ESYFND one but with more rows. For a way better functionality I strongly suggest downloading the VEMEX frontend as Excel / Open Office file. This way you'll be able to use combo boxes, auto-calculating fields and much more.
The first two (identical to ESYFND) are two ready-to-use templates you can use exactly as explained in the ESYFND section. The remaining rows show so called "BUY STOP" orders (but you can replace BUY with SELL). These orders are like the EvE Advanced buy / sell order window, that is you can setup orders that (unlike the MARKET orders) will be executed at a later time, when the market hits their setup price. In order to setup a STOP order all you have to do is the same explained for the ESYFND except you have to input your preferred price instead of the default. Then you send the order and wait for the trade to happen.
If you see your order is not getting filled, you can move it up or down. Unlike EvE, RL markets let traders move orders for free (this is why high frequency automated trading is possible) and therefore you'll also have the same freedom.
Thus, like in RL markets you end up paying more per transaction but nothing for moving the orders.
If you want to move your order, you have to put CHANGE in place of BUY / SELL. In the price field you place the new price, in the order number field (VERY IMPORTANT!!) you must type the tracking order number you received when you setup the buy / sell order.
If you want to completely cancel the order, just put CANCEL in place of BUY / SELL and type the tracking order number as shown above. If you downloaded the frontend as Excel file, all of these operations will autocalculate values, switch shown options and so on. Here is a screenshot of the various options.

The Details pane
The pane at the top of the various securities windows contains a lot of informations about the securities themselves. Most are fairly intuitive, several are the same information shown on the general overview.
1) Symbol: the security (fund) ticker, also shown on the overview. 2) NEISIN: the security (fund) NEISIN code, used for history search purposes. For more information about ISINs and their EvE counterpart (NEISIN) please refer to this thread. 3) NAV (Net Assets Value): it's the total value of the currently viewed fund. 4) Face value: shares value when the fund launched. 5) Outstanding: total amount of issued shares. 6) Book Value: the current share value. For open ended funds like ESYFND it's equal to NAV / outstanding, for closed end funds it's the current share market price. 7) Name: security (fund) name, also shown on the overview. 8) Description: short security (fund) description, also shown on the overview. 9) Last price match: price hit during the last transaction. 10) Last updated: the date and time this security quotes have been updated, also shown on the overview. 11) Bid: current bid price (the highest buy order), also shown on the overview. 12) Ask: current ask price (the lowest sell order), also shown on the overview. 13) High: highest price for the current session. 14) Low: the lowest price for the current session. 15) Issuer: corporation ticker of who issued the securities, also shown on the overview. 16) Dividend frequency: how often dividends are issued. 17) Purchase fee: exchange fee on purchase operations, per each share value. 18) Sale fee: exchange fee on sale operations, per each share value. 19) Redemption fee: how much redeeming a share will cost, per each share value. It's very low for open ended funds, high for closed end funds. In RL it's not even possible to redeem closed end funds shares. 20) Management fee: how much the fund manager will take, measured on the plusvalence (if any). 21) Frond load: how much the fund charges per purchase operation (it's on the fund side, not an exchange fee). 22) Deferred load: how much the fund charges per sale operation. 23) VEMEX management message: fund specific message from the management.
The issue with moving markets prices
The exchange operations are processed as a FIFO queue (also used in RL). It's entirely possible that when you send an order (any kind), someone else will have taken that order before you and thus your order won't find a fill at your desired price.
Example: There are MINBSK shares at 1,039,012.01 and 1,039,013.99. You buy 5 of them but somebody else bid on 3 of them before you. If you sent ISK for the exact 1,039,012.01 value, you'll get 2 shares for 1,039,012.01, 2 for 1,039,013.99 and ISK given back for the last share (not enough sent money left to buy it at the higher price).
There are two solutions for this:
1) Send more ISK than needed. I.e. if you send 10-15 percent excess ISK, you'll get the shares and the unspent ISK back.
2) Open a trading account with VEMEX. To do this, just send some ISK to VEMEX with description: "Open trading account". From now on, you won't need to send ISK for every buy / sell operation, the ISK will be taken from the account, the sales ISK will go to that account. At a later day you may eve-mail VEMEX with a "Withdraw NNNN" or "Close trading account".
NOTA BENE: accounts with no transactions for a long time will be flagged as abandoned and closed. ISK will be sent to the account owner.

Just to double check to make sure I've gotten it right.
To receive our shares we would enter:
ESYFNDBUYMARKET1,000,000.00250GTC0
Or is this for the purchasing of additional shares? And we will receive our allotted shares on November 1st?
Thanks for the clarification. |

Thanks for the clarification. This does not sound right.
My understanding: you've already got your shares (you may not physically receive them).
If you want to sell them you can use the exchange. Say something like: ESYFND SELL MARKET 1,000,000.00 250 GTC0, to sell 250 shares for 1m/share
If you do not want to sell them, do nothing
If you want to buy shares, wait till someone decides to sell shares on the exchange. |

Samroski got it right!
The very reason to take reservations was to give Investors the stock already. You already have your shares.
Today only the market makers (if they want) can put shares for sales or can setup buy orders. From tomorrow anyone in game can go and setup any order they want.
But the "anyone" will be regular guys with ISK but no shares, so they have to buy the shares first.
You, instead, have your shares already. You can just hold them for the dividends or you can sell them or buy more. Auditing | Collateral holding and insurance | Consulting | PLEX for Good Charity

Ok since I received the first orders and they were a bit wrong I'll make some examples with EvE as a reference.
EvE simple market order window (aka "dump to buy orders" / "immediate buy from sell orders") in RL and in VEMEX map to BUY MARKET or SELL MARKET orders.
Example: you want to dump 12 shares to buy orders:
MINBSKSELLMARKET0.001GTC0
Price does not even matter (I left it to zero) and is always ignored, because your order will always match the best current offer of the market.
Needless to say, today there are no buy orders (for now). What happens in EvE when you try dumping stuff in a region with no buy order? You get an error, right? Same for VEMEX.
EvE advanced market order window (aka setup orders at any price) in RL and VEMEX map to BUY STOP or SELL STOP orders.
Example: you want to setup a buy order for 7 shares at 1,215,334.99:
MINBSKBUYSTOP1,215,334.997GTC0
This will create the order and it will sit at 1,215,334.99 forever, until someone decides to sell to it. Auditing | Collateral holding and insurance | Consulting | PLEX for Good Charity

Aaaaaaaand we got our first orders out!

Thanks,

ATM this is a manual tellering system. I really, really wish I had a nice pre-made WEB application but after searching for weeks I have found none at all. The little payware stuff I found are professional exchanges (for RL securities) that cost hundreds of thousands and require dedicated hosting if not a rack in a data center.
Now, I had a big issue: time. The EvE markets tend to peak at Christmas, a large fund like this needs help from the trend. Now, I bought for myself 30B worth of minerals for ridicolously low prices in August, ATM I am up 20% in NAV just for doing... nothing. I also (see past months of my posts) have this stupid dream of implementing more advanced finance in EvE.
Out of these factors the idea for this fund came up. Now, I had doubts that anyone would trust a first time investor with 100B. How many got 100B in their first investment ever? Not even a collateral, not even an audit.
But somehow people were fine with this. So the big issue turns to be: "how to actually implement an exchange?"
The first reaction would be to Google for open source projects. There are none. There's some old, non compiling java half made backend and that's it.
So, I had the EvE markets going ahead regardless of me (prices were already 30% up vs when I wanted to get investors ISK) and nothing to help with my project.
So I decided to learn Excel a bit better and coded the whole thing myself. Then I added a database for the orders. It still has all the boring manual stuff but it does a lot of calculations and storage so it's not too bad.
This also helped me A LOT to quickly prototype the whole exchange, if one day I want to create a PHP script I won't have to do so much trial and error like I had for Excel. The major algorythms are in fact all done now, the fields are more or less final, the profit / NAV split etc. helpers are in place.
What happens next depends from the Investors. If they will use the exchange enough, I'll code it for the web. If after the first week, I only get 1 order a day then the current solution can stay.

Let me recap: send ISK to VEMEX (the corp). Send mail to VEMEX teller called VEMEX Monica.
Edit: I have typed VEMEX in the mail address and it auto-filled VEMEX Monica, doesn't this happen to you too? Auditing | Collateral holding and insurance | Consulting | PLEX for Good Charity

The very reason to take reservations was to give Investors the stock already. You already have your shares.
Today only the market makers (if they want) can put shares for sales or can setup buy orders. From tomorrow anyone in game can go and setup any order they want.
But the "anyone" will be regular guys with ISK but no shares, so they have to buy the shares first.
You, instead, have your shares already. You can just hold them for the dividends or you can sell them or buy more.
Ah ok. So there's no physical ownership of the shares themselves, they're held on the exchange and traded from there, gotcha. I must have misread something, I was expecting to receive the shares and was just curious when they had not arrived and I wondered if I had to make a request for them.
I have one further question which you may feel free to answer when you're feeling better;
Say I place a buy order for 500 shares the MINBSK
So I send the evemail to VEMEX Monica:
MINBSK BUY STOP 1,250,000 500 GTC 0 (a theoretical number for examples sake) So I send 625mil.
Now, obviously this is a human administered system and not an automated one. So you will be handling this data. How will you inform us as to the filling of our orders? Obviously someone is unlikely (though perhaps not) to dump 500 shares at once. Will you inform us when the order is completed or inform us in bits and pieces?
Sorry if this has been answered already but I can't seem to find it and I am curious as I am interested in buying into the other baskets when the opportunity is available. |

The shares are of the so called "virtual" kind (also used by BSAC EvE exchange), because physical shares have some bad issues:
- they are susceptible to exploits - they give options to players over the issuing corps that a fund is not made to deal with. - one share ticker - one corporation. So no multiple funds. - they have the super-nasty issue that they can't be reclaimed once their job is over. Players quit or just stop bothering with the shares so once they are out, a portion never makes back in, in case you need to restart a new share based activity.
As for your example, if you want to go heavy enough to buy hundreds of millions I strongly suggest to:
- wait till there are enough shares for sale, so your order does not stay half filled forever. - open an account. ISK will be taken as the order is filled.
Orders can and will get partial fills like in RL: first the matching price shares are traded, then those at an higher price.
IE buy stop at 1.3M: once price gets to 1.3M then as many shares as possible become yours (and ISK taken), then the order processor finds the next closest order (say 1,300,100) and gives you those and so on.
Basically it's like EvE except in EvE you'd get all the shares at 1,300,100 while in RL (and VEMEX) you properly get 1.3M shares at 1.3M and 1,300,100 shares at 1,300,100.

please eve mail VEMEX Monica not this character. I check mail on this character like once a day, your orders would be completely delayed and screwed.

Not to speak for anyone else, but we are trying to be as precise as you apparently are. Even if it isn't your intention, it comes across that you are a little OCD about this. Which is not bad, I'd rather trust my money to someone with OCD than someone who doesn't have OCD lol... much more likely to get it back. 
So basically, Nanatoa is probably just frustrated by your apparent precision and the amount of rules you are setting, but mainly the verbose way you present them rather than just a short and to the point step by step.
Nan, feel free to correct me if i'm wrong.

What's "OCD"?
Also, the number of rules is a tiny subset of what you'd get in a RL investment, I am simplifying it as much as I can. The biggest difference is that usually all you are "meant" to do IRL is to go to a bank and give money to a very well dressed dude who "does everything" for you.

What Val'Dore said, except it isn't really OCD as an OCD type person wouldn't write a 2400 word guide without mentioning to whom the evemail should be sent.

OCD = Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
And as someone who works in this world I can appreciate your streamlining the process and thank you for it even if it isn't exactly light reading. The amounts of loops, hoops and hurdles normally associated with funds and investments like this are a total pain in the arse, though for obvious reasons both a good and bad thing.
This way we can see what we're putting ourselves in for rather than having it presented in a 30 page+ contract in bible sized font of legalese and jargon. And having the man / woman opposite you saying "don't worry, just sign here and we'll take care of the rest!" And blowing it all on high risk ventures / using the funds to cover already failing funds and largely being incompetent. (Not that im bitter or anything ) |

Looks like I'll really have to code something automatic for the exchange, I am getting orders sent at the same time and who comes last risks bidding on orders that somebody else took before them (yet they are still displayed).
For now, when I am processing orders (usually happens past downtime and then later) I will put some message in the overview like:
"The exchange is processing orders, trading is enabled but you could bid on orders not present any more."
Another 2 things:
1) I have said earlier but I'll repeat again: MARKET orders are "immediate buy / dump at whatever is the current price". Therefore you may as well send an order with a zero in the price or leave it as is.... the important is that you understand that those are exactly like "simple" EvE orders (the little order window).
So, if you send a MARKET order set to 1,099,999 and the 1,099,999 is not there, you will get the next price in line. If I see you sent the order when 1,099,999 was still displayed, I'll just return your money and a mail explaining the thing is not available any more (like EvE does). This expecially applies because you also send the exact 1,099,999 x Quantity ISK so I can't take the higher amount needed to clear the next priced order.
2) When selling, please do not send the fee ISK in advance. It will be auto... ehm manually calculated and deducted from the sale revenue. This also helps you keep your ISK in your hands till the sale actually happens. Auditing | Collateral holding and insurance | Consulting | PLEX for Good Charity

Oh good old Goldman... I remember when this happened and how good I felt for being involved in simpler things such as telling people why investing all their money in long term, high risk investments and venture projects in volatile parts of the world probably isn't a good idea.
High five for Einstein being proved right about the limitless bounds of human stupidity.
Right thread back on topic.
Regarding the processing, I think the proviso "The exchange is processing orders, trading is enabled but you could bid on orders not present any more." should work for now. Obviously with your illness, work, life etc I doubt we'll see an automated process any time soon. Though I dont have a programming background so I maybe wrong but it seems complicated to a layman such as myself.
About the selling in point 2.

Does this mean for sellers, they will receive an invoice for how much they should send and prompting them when to send the isk? |

Yes you are still in the list, I was preparing it while you posted. Tomorrow after DT if shares are still available you'll get your fill depending on what's left.
@Samroski
The reason I closed reservations only today is to make sure I'd anyway would fill the funds. In fact starting with below 100B makes the future funds maths a true pain. Today is when I received ISK back from a person and therefore I can add myself to the queue so there's no risk the shares would go deserted.

Vaerah Vahrokha wrote:I have said earlier but I'll repeat again: MARKET orders are "immediate buy / dump at whatever is the current price...
I admit that I'm a bit confused on your order types, in particular, the Stop Order. With simple equity trading (no need to get into complex order strategies at this point) I'm accustomed to using four order types:
Market Order - Very simple, as you've defined, an order to immediately buy or sell at whatever price is currently asked or offered. Simple and straightforward, but possibly of limited value until such time as your book fills with a nice stack of buy and sell orders and daily volume picks up.
Limit Order - An order to buy or sell at a stated price or better, with the order being good over a specified time, such as "Good 'Til Canceled" (GTC) or "Day" orders. This perhaps would be the most important order type to have in place initially to help build a book and to help promote trading volume.
As the market establishes itself, it might be valuable to add:
Stop Loss Order A order to sell shares at the market price if the market price of the shares drops below a stated price, also with a stated time in force, such as GTC or Day. As the name implies, this order allows the shareholder to place an order in advance to sell, where the order is acted on only if the share price drops to a certain level, helping the shareholder to minimize losses in the event that shares enter an unanticipated downtrend. This order type, of course, works in reverse for "short" positions, should short selling become available.
Stop Limit Order Same as Stop Loss order, except that if the market price of the shares drops below a stated price, an order is automatically entered to sell shares at a stated limit price rather than at the market price.

I wanted to start simple (you see, it's easy to go overly complex in these things).
A reference to the orders I am using is at Babypips.com, a website I have cited many times as a "first one stop shop" place where everyone can learn the basics. It's like the EvE University of finance.
This is the relevant page listing orders I have implemented or will implement with automation aid. Doing some of these orders in manual is just too time consuming. Auditing | Collateral holding and insurance | Consulting | PLEX for Good Charity

Hello all,
I have attempted to further simplify VV's wonderful creation i.e the VEMEX Exchange Google Doc.
The link is here and I think it will help people get on board with buying and selling. It is still incomplete but I plan on finishing it sometime tonight. Any criticism is welcome, do not hesitate.

Investors that took second chance priority:
Kama Sutramax - 200 M MINBSK => He already sent them. Graygor - 250mil for MINBSK and 250mil for ICEBSK Arancar Australis - 250mil for MINBSK 250mil for ICEBSK Antoine Desargues - 100MISK for MINBSK 200MISK for ICEBSK Horatio Astrates - 2B ESYFND Samroski - 200M ESYFND => There is not room for the 2.5B you wanted. Horatio Astrates reserved 2B on 2012.10.22 12:30 while you asked for reservation extension on 2012.10.22 20:35.
This leaves:
ESYFND FULL MINBSK => 200M available ICEBSK => 300M available
The next in line are:
Irken Slushk who reserved 2bn worth of the MINBSK and 2bn worth of the ICEBSK. Spectre Wraith
Now, if Irken Slushk will accept just investing 200M MINBSK and 300M ICEBSK then he takes precedence.
If Irken won't take them, then there are me + Samroski (who could not get a full fill) and Spectre Wraith. Both did not specify they wanted MINBSK + ICEBSK though.
If neither of them will take those (still assuming Irken Slushk won't want them), then I will. Auditing | Collateral holding and insurance | Consulting | PLEX for Good Charity

This...
I can honestly state that the Exchange is a fantastic tool of trade for me, very easy to use and is backed by very knowledgeable trusted people.
Not stating that VEMEX is not worthy or anything, however, it is much less evolved on the "user easy and/or friendly" part. |

For multiple reasons, beginning with your sparser and sparser EvE playing, your slowly disengaging from your funds etc. Not saying anything is wrong with that, but I need the guarantee to have a continued service.
Then I want to implement several features currently not available on BSAC and I don't have the heart to tell you to implement real time data feeds and similar for my future projects.

I have been away from eve the last 4 months due to personal reasons. Part of the reason of having a functional Exchange is that I donGÇÖt have to be present for people to trade. The fact that the Exchange has been running smoothly with my sparse presence is proof of that. I would like to point out that I have always been active enough to process withdrawals, and in some instances Posion has processed them. In fact any designated teller can process withdrawals requests.

I think you have been too quick to discard my resolve. One of the reasons I want others to use the Exchange is so that I can improve on it. I would like to hear more about those data feeds and how to best implement them.

1) The ESYFND needs a special kind of pricing where bid and sell are always equal. 2) ESYFND shares completely depend on the fund's real time calculated NAV. That NAV depends on wallet + underlying investments (bonds / IPOs etc) NAV + percentile based proportions off real time calculated Warehouse Containers sitting at Jita. Those containers hold MINBSK and the other funds underlying materials + each of those funds ISK wallet (they are not 100% invested) + each fund's specific escrow on market. If this did not look complex enough, then each material that is bought ends in the "deliveries" hangar (some times 4-6B worth of stuff) and those materials all end together. The NAV calculator has also to discern them and add such value to each fund's NAV. 3) The above requires an EMDR daemon fetching current market values for the involved materials including duplicate and forged data sanitizing, plus a process fetching what's calculated in 2). 4) Investors as of now are not required to have any account open. IE if they want to buy 1000 shares they send 1000 x the purchase value and that's it. Most importantly, if they sell 1000 shares, they receive the sale value sent to them, sale after sale, with no accumulation in a previously opened account. This was made to simplify their life (at the expense of mine). This last point may have to change later but for now it's going like this. 5) Every fund has the option to just redeem shares (at a penalty, except ESYFND), so a special redeem option has to be added. 6) Funds profitability has also been designed with a fee structure in place (hedging the "bad months"), different for each fund, your Exchange has no such a feature.

I apologize for asking to be quick, the dividend is due at the beginning of December and I really need up to the last ISK to gather stock.

That should be fairly easy to accommodate. This can be done right now by simply having sell order = buy order + 0.01 ISK. Better yet, sell order - buy order = your custom load fee (i.e. Buy Price = Price GÇô Fee, and Sell price = Sell + fee)

I think you forgot I ran BSAC. What you are describing sounds very similar to what I did with BSAMR and the Mineral Indices. NAV was calculated using various API codes. The only thing new is that you want it real time. In BSACGÇÖs case I was doing it once a day. Of all your objections, this one is the more involved one. I did started to work on it for the BSAC stocks but never finished, because as you will find out sooner or later 99.99% of investors are buy and hold type, so they donGÇÖt care for 1hr NAV refresh. In my expert opinion it is a lot of work for null returns. I will be willing to work on it and finish what I started.

This is one of the highlights of the BSAC Stock Exchange, which you probably donGÇÖt realize how useful it is. About 3-4 years ago I was doing it manually like you are proposing. And back in the old days I found the manual labor very time consuming and IGÇÖm afraid it will lead you to burn out. This is one of the reasons for developing the Exchange. There is no point for you to babysit every transaction. The Exchange does that for you. You should consider my six years experience running BSAC.
Vaerah Vahrokha wrote: 5) Every fund has the option to just redeem shares (at a penalty, except ESYFND), so a special redeem option has to be added.
That one sounds a lot like the mineral indices I ran, except they redeem at 100%. That is easily accommodated with a buy order. Again the simplest way is to have Buy order = redeem price GÇô fee.

ThatGÇÖs correct; I designed the Exchange with zero loads. ItGÇÖs fairly easy to add a fee per transaction. See above.
Vaerah Vahrokha wrote: It's easily man weeks worth of work or more, just to list 5 securities. Are you ready to do that? If so, you will be welcome.
I lot of the infrastructure is in place. I agree that it can take some time to fully adapt the Exchange, but it is something IGÇÖm interested in doing. I want a functional Exchange that any fund manager can use for their own stock scheme.
EDIT I forgot to mention, you could update the price via API feed, which I do for BSAMR. |

However I have to play fair to the other Investors and I may not keep Samroski (the next ESYFND reserver) waiting for much longer.
Therefore I have the ability to concede you only until tomorrow after down time. Past that time I will regrettably have to close Your reservation and honor Samroski's reservation.
I understand you might have some issues preventing you from fully fulfilling your reservation, therefore I suggest you the possibility of a partial fill, for an amount of 1 billion instead of two. In that case Samroski would take the second billion.
Hoping for a prompt reply off Yours, I take this opportunity to extend You my best regards.
Yours sincerely, Vaerah Vahrokha Auditing | Collateral holding and insurance | Consulting | PLEX for Good Charity

I am very happy to see that some action is going on. The markets are rapidly self optimizing like RL markets, I somehow have the same feelings of an guy who built a realistic model railway and now see all the little things moving and blinking and beeping.
Said that, a word of caution to the Investors. Being a quasi-realistic exchange make sure to keep present the margin to avoid undercutting at a loss. Auditing | Collateral holding and insurance | Consulting | PLEX for Good Charity

VV, let me first appreciate your efforts in setting up the exchange, in addition to organizing this investment opportunity.
A feature that I'd like to see in future iterations of VEMEX is order tracking. A place where the exchange users may log in and see their orders (esp. ref. numbers). I'm sure you have this data available, but for obvious reasons it cannot be made public. Thus a way needs to be found where individual users may access this data. Maybe individually accessible google documents? Could you put the info in a separate spreadsheet, only accessible by one user? This would be invaluable in managing orders long term.
It is possible that order tracking exists in VEMEX, and I am unaware of it, in which case I apologize for my ignorance. |

It's possible even today but it's not graphically nice to see. It gives away some limited information about how someone else (does not tell the names) have placed their orders. I am not sure it's sound to share even such limited information though.
I am working to implement a login based system allowing to do what you ask but it's very hard work and so it won't be available very soon.

Little performance update
Last time I station traded, it was in 2009. These funds somewhat subvert my trading model because I could not really use my WPD-WPG method (I should have bought stock in September / October) so I had to flip some order here some order there.
First the good news:
The results are not so bad, this screenshot shows the markups in percentage: the top item markup is a nice 44 percent made in 2 weeks, the "worst" is 13 percent (broker fees are not factored in).
I have been expecially impressed by some of the T2 and PI appreciations.
The bad news:
This year the markets are not good as I'd wanted them to be. There's space for profit but there's little liquidity and I need to move a lot of stuff. it's very hard to roll 100B worth of stuff in markets where your order sits at the top (no 0.01 ISKer) for half a day. If I "push hard" I simply kill half of the T2 and PI markets. Thus I have to flip a relatively limited amount of stock per day OR join minimal revenue markets (aka the "glass ceiling"). Therefore while the profits percentages I can make seem awesome, the end result will be a quite "normal" performance for an investment of this size, because the profits are made on the amount of stock the markets can adsorb without crashing.

Update
An event happened to my life that will heavily affect my ability to play EvE in the coming months. As I have explained on SCC Lounge, the decision my country took to implement a very punitive Tobin Tax is going to hinder my ability to live off trading, something I need since I am otherwise perma-unemployed. While discussing about that on a national forum, I have been offered a very nice job overseas. I have also been assured I'll still be allowed to trade.
Now, the deal is 80% sealed and the project I am to take part of starts at the beginning of January. Therefore I have about a month to pack my home, close my bank accounts and everything boreaucracy related (very long and complex here) and move. Once I'll land there, I will have to find an house, install phone and internet and so on, while also going at the new work.
This will seriously impair my ability to manage the funds and the exchange in the coming months, expecially in this year of lackluster expansions (markets effects speaking).
Therefore - and not without a pain fit - my desire to preserve the Investors best interests pushes me to appeal to the IPO chapter 8 article 4:
"VAHFT may force buyback of shares at their nominal value (in example, in case of Funds shutdown or downsizing)" and suspend the funds and exchange operation, effective today.
It's a pain fit because this is a project I had really put a lot of effort into and it was yielding results exceeding my expectations: in about two weeks of effective trading I have achieved up to 5% profit in my preferred fund (MINBSK).
Please re-read it slowly: if I had a full trading month this means a potential +10% profit in a month... in a sizable portion of a 100B investment! Never before I have heard of (legitimate) bonds / IPOs to perform that much and the funds started late enough to appear being at a disadvantage and in a mediocre year!
This immensely pleased me and I hope it will please your wallet when you'll get the dividends.
How the shares buyback will work:
- I will personally reimburse out of my own money not just face value, but full VEMEX market value to those who bought shares after the IPO launched (that is only those who had zero shares at day 1). - The Market Makers will retain the 400M I have given each of them as discount on their purchase. This means Market Makers have basically made 4% in one month plus the regular fund dividends. IE 9% made in 15 days of effective trading of mine for their MINBSK shares. - The dividends will cover all the NAV past 100B, therefore the shares will be valued at face value (expecially relevant to ESYFND shareholders). - I will take a while to shutdown the whole running machine. Some assets are hard to liquidate so I planned a phased ISK restitution to Investors (suggestions are welcome!).
Phases:
1) ISK restitution to post-IPO shareholders. 2) ISK restitution to Investors who will explicitly EvE-mail me (do it fast please!) they immediately want their ISK back. I reserve the right to decide how many to liquidate and their priority, I will factor in the other Investors in the exit strategy. 3) ISK restitution to the easiest liquidated funds share holders. 4) ISK restitution to the rest.
I anticipate the first 3 points to be delivered with the dividends coming the beginning of December. The fourth will take 1+ months. During this time I will:
- Keep buying back the shares as stock gets liquidated. - Effectively convert the remaining stock NAV into a series of bonds, each paying an interest rate equal to how much the related funds performed. I.e. if a fund yielded a 3% dividend, then I will keep paying 3% a month till its NAV is completely liquidated. - Buy backs will happen ASAP, that is not just at the end of the next month(s). I will pay pro-rated interests for the fractional parts of the months. Example: if a fund yielded 3% and I give back ISK at the middle of the next month, I will pay middle of 3% interests = 1.5%.

Current funds liquidity status:
- MINBSK => No issue to achieve liquidation within short term. I actually secured most profits before announcing the foreclosure in order to not destroy the markets (my turnover has been very large, BSAC size large).
- T2BSK => About 30% of the assets will require additional weeks for liquidation as the turnover is absolutely small.
- ICEBSK => Assets are not ready for liquidation, it's not "their time yet"
- PIBSK => Very few items with liquidation delays
- ESYFND => Some collateralized loans need to be finalized, I had unexpected surprises (in the good sense!) with Loanees asking for loans renewal. Auditing | Collateral holding and insurance | Consulting | PLEX for Good Charity

VAHFT Funds Performance Statement
Here are the results of about 2 weeks of funds activity (one week was needed to get ISK from Investors and acquire assets).
NAV
NAV at funds launch.
Since an Investor pulled his commitment at the last minute, 1B remained unallocated under a special "Fund Management" placeholder Investor name.
The screenshot also shows the ESYFND assets allocation.
NAV at funds foreclosure
In about 2 weeks, more than 5B were made, but broker fees reduced the profit to about 4.05B. All the numbers are reported net of broker fees.
Dividends calculated for all the funds.
The screenshot above shows the dividends per share for each fund.
Performance
The following screenshots show the gross profits for all the traded stocks. Gross profit means broker fees were not subtracted (the software does not do that). For maximum transparency sake I am going to post the "uncensored" screenshots showing the stocks I traded and the full numbers.
Top traded items. Minerals have been the most traded of all, followed by T2 and PI.
Trade efficiency 1 of 2. The decimal numbers represent the efficiency. I.e. 0.43 next to Chromium means that Chromium has been sold with a 43% gross profit.
Trade efficiency 2 of 2. This is the second page showing the next items in the profit % list.
Items and markets. This shows that I did all the selling in Jita. The buys instead were also made in Lonetrek, Sinq Liason and Rens.
Time distribution. This shows the stock sales per hour and per day of the week.

Update
I have begun the phase:
1) ISK restitution to post-IPO shareholders.
I urge those who had no shares prior to IPO launch and then purchased them at market value to urgently contact me in case I sent them an amount they believe to be less than due. Those Investors are eligible to a special reimbursement that will be paid by my own pockets (not from the Funds) that is equal to the shares market value at the time of the order plus dividends.

Hello.
Thank you everybody who manifested me their support and approval!
The liquidation process is not immediate for two reasons:
1) Some assets can't be liquidated very fast. In order to achieve those 30-40% profits you see on the performance charts I some times had to invest in dozens of assets where buy orders are much lower than the sell orders and "dumping to buy orders" would lead to staggering -30 / -40% losses. In case of PI and T2 there's not even an option not to engage in those markets, barring an handful of commodities (Technetium, Noble metals...) all the other markets have tiny size and / or low turnover.
2) Also, I liquidated some personal assets to provide quicker liquidation. The whole process involved 120B worth of assets. The EvE markets are just too small to deal with 120B worth of stuff dumped fast and hard. I'd crash 20 markets+ for weeks.
3) The whole process of liquidating is completely manual and for every Investor, for every type of share I manually create up to 4 transactions:
- unwinding the order escrow for those shares, - special reimbursement - dividends, each dividend has its own parameters and its own performance and its own management reward (for me) - shares buyback (principal reimbursement)
Not only that, but some reimbursements come from VEMEX and some come from this character (as I said, I'll personally over-pay a subset of Investors who trusted me past IPO launch. I won't let them have anything less than an excellent experience from me).
This means I have to manually send mails, hundreds and hundreds of transactions, some to players and some to corporations, check the backend for every single transaction to see if it had pending orders, special cases etc and most of all I must do it right. Imagine the consequences of one single mistake of sending 20B to a typo-ed character... Auditing | Collateral holding and insurance | Consulting | PLEX for Good Charity

I hope that your move abroad goes well... just curious, can you say the country that are you fleeing for that damned Tobin Tax? I'm also a RL investor (part-time only, mainly FOREX) and here (Spain) is also looming the axe of that stupid tax (for the moment I have been spared trading with abroad brokers, but typically this situation can only worsen in time).

Sadly nowhere you go in Europe (except maybe England, they got their stamp duty) you can hope to be safe from that populistic and useless tax. But it's not going to be implemented in the same way in all the countries. Some countries took Germany's bait about rushing into enforcing the tax, save seeing Germany bailing out of their own proposal and announcing they won't think about it till 2016.
My country not only took the bait, but it's going to enforce it regardless. In fact my country is one of the last where we still have post-comunist parties that have not evolved into modern social-democracy and thus they are as bigot as some religion organizations.
These parties - that all the statistics show they are about to win the soon next elections, have intense hatred for anything related with capital, enterpreneurs, meritocracy, private initiative and so on. They couldn't wait for the Tobin Tax to be proposed, because it will be the Holy Sword against the Evil speculators etc. etc.
So, my move is not really to avoid the Tobin Tax at all costs, just to avoid the italian specific implementation that basically:
- exempts banks and all those who *really* caused finance disasters. Because as most know, our current "technicians" government is totally subservient to banks.
- imposes a tax 5 (five) times bigger than the proposed "template" EU tax and it covers securities that will become completely impossible to trade. I.e. making 100 Euros out of Forex will involve up to 100 Euros worth of Tobin Tax. Figures.
Another reason to move is that I got proposed an interesting job in a nice island. This means leaving this foggy, cold plains I currently live in and actually find a job. Here it's impossible, because before the 2008 crysis it'd take 2-3 years of constant tries to find a (worse) job but now it's just wishful thinking, everybody are closing down, banks don't loan a penny and so on and every single position I have applied to, has been rejected because they exclusively take people younger than 30 (there are fiscal discounts for doing that).

Here it's impossible, because before the 2008 crysis it'd take 2-3 years of constant tries to find a (worse) job but now it's just wishful thinking, everybody are closing down, banks don't loan a penny and so on and every single position I have applied to, has been rejected because they exclusively take people younger than 30 (there are fiscal discounts for doing that).
That's the worst, of course.... with no future (as we currently have also in Spain, even worst than Italy from what I can figure with my fellow Italians at job) Tobin Tax is only another nail in the coffin.... good luck in your new nice island!

PlanetCorp wishes you well in your RL endeavours. Keep a mailing list for when you return, I'm sure we would invest again and more than the paltry 500 milllion we did this time.

I am actually studying an improved business model already.
I have to come to accept that MD-ers don't really like to speculate and get involved a lot. They prefer to "buy and hold" and have someone else do the work for them, even if that means lower profits.
Furthermore I have noticed how critical is to enter in the markets at the right time. Despite > 5% (MINBSK) profits in about 2 weeks is quite big for a 100B investment, I could have done better if I could buy the stock when my analyses told me to. The paperwork, the inevitable delays caused by having so many people interacting and so on made me lose about 2 weeks. This costed 2-3% in potential profts and also made me miss the small ice products "peak".
This makes me think I have to setup a second hedge fund. They provide much less meta-fun but are more profit effective and don't require an exchange.
The big challenge will be: "how can I warn potential Investors there's a golden opportunity with 2 days of preadvice tops, and get 50B+ fast to exploit the opportunity?". With an hedge fund I cannot afford waiting for 1-2 weeks for money to come. Auditing | Collateral holding and insurance | Consulting | PLEX for Good Charity

Confirming receipt of original investments and dividends.
VV, best of luck with your RL endeavors! I suspect your move comes with mixed emotions - endless hours of work, frustrations, paths to dead ends trying to make your current situation work - hopefully you will find the move to be both exhilarating and rewarding! If the efforts you have put into advancing the investing and trade aspects of EVE are any indication of your drive for achievement in real life, there's no doubt that you will find great success with your move.
Thanks, also, for all of the efforts you have put into this and other EVE projects! Among the benefits, it has helped to showcase the level of interest in this kind of thing in the game. Hopefully that will help pave the way for future development of stock, bond and investing tools and resources in the game.
I look forward to your return and investing in your future projects!
Best regards, Towaoc

Isk received. Looking forward to next fund.
I was really going to place some buy orders after seeing first month's dividends. Sad that wouldn't happen. |

all the best, VV. Reading my posts is like panning for gold; most it will be useless, but occasionally you'll find a nugget of gold. |
