Introduction to the Retailer Trading Screen

Time, Date and Money

The top of the screen shows the current experimental date and the number of days to the next customer delivery date (31st December).

Next to this is your current cash balance. It is on this number (less the initial cash float provided at the start of the experiment) that your cash performance payment will be calculated at the end of the experiment.

The "Units At Shop" shows the number of units you currently possess. In this case, the retailer has 0 Units in their "shop".

Since their customer is committed to buying 2,000 Units, it means this retailer is currently seeking to buy another 2000 units before the end of the year.

The "Last Traded Price" shows the last price at which Units were bought or sold ANYWHERE in the market - between ANY two participants.
