Terminology

As in real stock exchanges, ExtZy uses market terminology:

Trades - The number of transactions of the stock (web-site) in the reporting period

Volume - The number of shares bought or sold in the reporting period

Min/Max - The lowest and highest price of the shares exchanged

Avg - The average price of the shares exchanged

Launched - When the stock (web-site) was first launched on the ExtZy market

When you log on to ExtZy, you will first see the welcome screen with a dashboard of you current account balance, portfolio holdings, and shares available for purchase on the market.
