As I posted in a thread on Suggestions: "Bloomberg for LT."
The idea is, for whatever trading features Josh decides not to implement, to add them as a mod. Such features would include technical charting tools (trend and momentum indicators such as RSI, MACD, Bollinger bands), multiple chart types (candlestick, point-and-figure, etc), varying degrees of trading information (pay-to-play market data packages), varying levels of AI trading sophistication (understanding of and ability to follow technical indicators), and finally, trade-related news (commodity-related, technical indicator-related, and politically-related headlines or blurbs in a ticker).
For even more fun, we could add exchanges for trading futures, options, and other derivatives. The risk of default of such contracts would naturally be a lot higher in the LT universe (where death, destruction, and simple refusal to pay may be very common) than in the real world, making them more expensive to trade in.
