Wall Street Raider is a highly sophisticated and realistic financial simulation, a corporate takeover and stock market game in which you strive to build your corporate empire by fair means, or otherwise, all the while trying to stay one step ahead of the SEC, IRS, Justice Department, EPA, Congress, powerful unions and no end of ruthless competitors--not to mention manmade and natural economic and other disasters, and tough ethical choices.

What's new in version 9.75
Put and call options trading, which was added in prior years, has now been upgraded by adding an Advanced Options Trading Station that allows users to implement complex options trades, creating up to 8 pur and call option transactions, which can be submitted simultaneously, plus instant and detailed help describing many of the complex options trading strategies used by real-world options traders, such as straddles, strangles, Butterfly spreads, vertical put or call spreads, Condors, Iron Butterflies, and Iron Condors.
As part of the new Advanced Options Trading Station, a menu has been added to automate the creation of any of 10 different complex options trading strategies, to set up such a trade with one click.
In addition to stock price alerts on any of the 1,500+ stocks and 20 ETFs in the simulation, this release has added price alerts on the spot prices of each of the five commodities in the simulation -- crude oil, gold, silver, wheat, and corn, as well as on the Bitcoin and Ethereum cryptocurrencies, and the Stock Index. In addition, you can now set up alerts to notify you when any of the interest rates (prime rate, long bond rate and short bond rate) reach a level you specify, or when the economy's growth rate goes above or below a rate you specify. Up to 100 stock and/or commodity price or rate alerts can be pending at any one time.
When you decide to have a company that you control issue bonds to raise capital, you may now customize the issuance by setting the year of maturity, within certain upper limits or for a term as short as 3 years. The shorter the term until maturity (payoff), if less than 10 years, the lower the interest rate the company will have to offer to pay on the bonds.
A new stock research feature has been added to the DataBase Search platform, allowing you to search for companies that have projected 3-month positive cash flow, or would have positive cash flow before taking into account debt principal repayments.
Another stock research item has been added to the Database Search feature, allowing you to search the database for overpriced stocks that may be good candidates for short sales, in order to profit if their price declines.
Since Wall Street Raider allows you to play each game in any of 22 different currencies other than the U.S. dollar, if you choose, and since real-world currency rates fluctuate regularly, we have updated the default conversion rate for each of 22 currencies vs. the U.S. dollar, as of late December, 2022, and players even have the ability to set the exchange rate for a non-U.S. currency at the start of a new game, instead of using the default rate, once default conversion rates become outdated in the future, compared to real-world rates.
