  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a communication type trading simulation system based on the theme of stock trading and foreign exchange margin trading (hereinafter referred to as “FX”) is known. Such a trading simulation system is disclosed in, for example, the following documents.

  The game system disclosed in Patent Document 1 is a game system that provides a player with a virtual stock trading game based on actual stock price data, and the game server obtains stock price data from a securities company or the like in near real time. Based on the stock price data, the player communicates with the game server by operating the mobile phone, virtually buys and sells stock, and the players compete for a period until the total amount of assets reaches the target amount.

  A trading simulation system that virtually buys and sells various trading targets, not limited to stock trading, has a server device that manages current prices such as stock prices and exchange rates, and terminal devices communicate with the server device via a computer communication network. To buy and sell. And the said server apparatus receives an order from a terminal device, updating the present price at any time, performs the process according to the said order, and returns a result to each terminal device.

Japanese Patent No. 3380532

  The conventional game system is a system based on the premise that the terminal device is in an online state in which communication with the server device is possible. However, there may be an offline state in which communication between the terminal device and the server device is impossible. Therefore, there is a strong demand for making it possible to buy and sell at the price at the time of ordering even when placing an order when the game terminal is offline.

  On the other hand, there is a case where the price of a transaction target at an arbitrary time cannot be managed by the server device. For example, it is a case where four values of stock prices are provided from a securities company at intervals of 5 minutes, 15 minutes, or 1 hour. Even in such a case, it is necessary to enable virtual buying and selling at an appropriate price.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and enables ordering from a terminal device even in a state where communication with a server device that manages the price of a transaction target is not possible. It is an object of the present invention to provide a trading simulation system, a trading simulation control method, and a program for realizing these by a computer.

  To achieve the above object, a trading simulation system according to a first aspect of the present invention includes an order range receiving unit, an order storage unit, an order transmitting unit, a result receiving unit, a result presentation unit, and a terminal receiving unit. And a server device including a success range acquisition unit, a failure result transmission unit, a price selection unit, and a success result transmission unit, and is configured as follows.

In other words, the order range accepting unit accepts an input of the price range (hereinafter referred to as “order range”) desired by the user for a certain transaction target.
Here, the transaction object is, for example, a stock of a predetermined brand, a predetermined foreign currency, crude oil, wheat, rare metal, or the like. In the case of stock trading, if the desired trade is a trade by market, the order range is a range including any value, and if the desired trade is a buy / sell sale by the limit price, the order range is the limit price. In the above range, when the desired buying and selling is buying and selling by the limit price, the order range is the range below the limit price. In addition, there is a way of clearly indicating the price range, such as 1000 yen to 1200 yen. Further, the transaction target may be one predetermined transaction target, or the user may select from a plurality of transaction targets.

Here, the order storage unit stores order information for designating the order range of the accepted trading and the accepted time (hereinafter referred to as “order time”).
That is, the order information stored in the order storage unit is information that designates the order range for which the order range receiving unit has received an input from the user and the time at which the input of the order range has been received for the transaction target. The time may be a time acquired using a clock function provided in the terminal device.

Then, when the order transmitting unit becomes able to communicate with the server device via the computer communication network, the stored order information is transmitted to the server device.
That is, while the terminal device cannot communicate with the server device via a computer communication network such as the Internet, the order storage unit holds the order information. When the terminal device becomes communicable with the server device, the order transmission unit transmits the order information stored in the order storage unit to the server device. When the order range receiving unit receives an input of the order range from the user at a different time while the terminal device cannot communicate with the server device, the order transmitting unit transmits a plurality of order information.

On the other hand, the order receiving unit receives the order information transmitted from the terminal device.
Then, a range in which the establishment range acquisition unit is sandwiched between the highest and lowest prices of the sale and sale established for the transaction target in a predetermined time zone including the order time specified in the received order information (hereinafter referred to as “establishment”). "Range")).

  Here, the predetermined time zone is obtained, for example, by dividing a period during which the transaction target is bought and sold by a predetermined time length. For example, if the trading target is a part of the TSE stock, the trading period will be from 9:00 am to 11:00 am (hereinafter referred to as the “front venue”) and from 0:30 pm to 3:00 pm This period (hereinafter referred to as “listing”). Here, if the predetermined time length is 5 minutes, the front field is divided into 24 time zones and the back field is divided into 30 time zones. The predetermined time zone is either the 24 time zone of the preceding venue or the 30 time zone of the subsequent venue. For example, when the time specified in the order information is 9:08 AM, the predetermined time zone is a time zone from 9:05 AM to 9:10 AM.

  The formation range acquisition unit acquires, as the formation range, a range between the highest value and the lowest value of the sales price established for the transaction target in the predetermined time zone. The established range acquisition unit may obtain the established range based on information stored in a database included in the server device or an external server device, or may be stored in advance in a database included in the server device or an external server device. The established range may be read out. For example, the formation range acquisition unit acquires four values every 5 minutes from the server of the securities company, and establishes a range between the high and low values of the four values in a predetermined time zone including the order time in the transaction target. Range. The four prices indicate four prices: an opening price, a closing price, a high price, and a low price.

Next, if the order range specified in the received order information does not overlap with the acquired range, the transaction result related to the received order information is not established. The result information designating the fact that it has been is transmitted to the terminal device.
In the simulation system, it is necessary to generate a transaction result for the user's order so as not to conflict with the four values acquired from the server of the securities company. For this reason, when the order range and the establishment range do not overlap, it is assumed that the transaction has not been established within the price range desired by the user. In other words, if the order range and the established range do not overlap, the failure result sending unit regards that the purchase and sale of the transaction object related to the order information is not established, and that the sale has not been established. Is transmitted to the terminal device.

On the other hand, if the price selection unit overlaps the order range specified in the received order information and the acquired establishment range, any price from the overlapping range (hereinafter referred to as “overlapping range”). Select.
Then, the establishment result transmission unit transmits to the terminal device result information that specifies that the transaction for the transaction object related to the received order information has been established at the selected price.

When the order range and the establishment range overlap, it is assumed that the transaction has been established within the price range desired by the user. That is, if the order range overlaps with the established range, the price selection unit considers that the purchase and sale of the transaction object related to the order information has been established within the overlapping range, and Select a price.
In addition, the establishment result transmission unit transmits, to the terminal device, result information that designates that the buying and selling of the transaction object related to the received order information is established based on the selected price.

On the other hand, the result receiving unit receives the result information transmitted from the server device.
That is, the result receiving unit receives either the result information designating that the sale was not established or the result information designating that the sale was established based on the selected price from the server device.

Then, the result presentation unit presents the received result information to the user.
That is, by referring to the result information presented by the result presentation unit, the user can know whether or not the sale has been established, and how much has been established when the sale has been established.

  Thus, in the present invention, the user can place an order for a virtual transaction even when the terminal device cannot communicate with the server device. Further, the price information necessary for determining whether or not the transaction has been established may be only the highest value and the lowest value of the sale price for the transaction target in the predetermined time zone. For this reason, the capacity of the storage device for storing the price information can be reduced. Furthermore, the server device need only execute a simple process when determining whether or not the transaction has been established. For this reason, the server apparatus can shorten the processing time which discriminate | determines whether the said transaction was materialized.

Further, the price selection unit selects any price from the overlapping range based on the difference between the time when the order information is received (hereinafter referred to as “reception time”) and the order time specified in the order information. can do.
That is, the price selection unit selects a price from the overlapping range, but selects the price according to the difference between the reception time and the order time.

For example, when the price selection unit selects a price for a purchase order, if the difference is less than or equal to a predetermined time (for example, less than 1 hour), the lowest price among the prices included in the overlapping range When the difference is equal to or longer than a predetermined time (for example, 24 hours or longer), the highest price among the prices included in the overlapping range is selected.
That is, the advantage is given to the user who frequently connects the terminal device to the server device, and the advantage is given to the user who does not connect the terminal device to the server device much. This is particularly effective when, for example, in the trading simulation system, an advertisement is displayed on the display unit of the terminal device when the server device is connected. That is, the user can be expected to increase the advertising effect by prompting the user to connect the terminal device to the server device frequently. Note that the advantage (or advantage) as described above is often given when the terminal device is frequently connected to the server device, and the difference is often small. Based on the tendency that the difference is often large.

Here, the price selector
(P) When the price range desired to be sold is specified in the order information, the smaller the difference is, the higher the price can be selected in the overlapping range.
The price selector
(Q) When the price range desired to be purchased is specified in the order information, the smaller the difference is, the lower the price can be selected in the overlapping range.

  That is, it is effective for the price selection unit to determine the magnitude of advantage (or advantage) to be given to the user according to the magnitude of the difference.

In addition, the price selection unit can select a price at random within the overlapping range.
The price selection unit (p), when the price range desired to be sold is specified in the order information, selects so that the expected value of the selected price is higher as the difference is smaller.
On the other hand, the price selection unit (q), when the price range desired to be purchased is specified in the order information, the price selection unit selects the expected value of the selected price to be lower as the difference is smaller.

  That is, when the price selection unit randomly selects a price in the overlapping range, the price selection unit changes the expected value according to the difference. Specifically, when selecting the price for the sell order, the price selection unit selects the price so that the expected value of the price is higher as the difference is smaller, and when selecting the price for the buy order. The price is selected such that the smaller the difference is, the lower the expected price is.

  In actual transactions, the contract price generally fluctuates to some extent within the overlapping range. For this reason, as a trading simulation system, it is effective to select a price at random within the overlapping range. In this case, in consideration of the above-described advertising effect and the like, the expected value of the price is set so that a user who frequently connects to the server device can obtain a larger advantage.

When the above invention is applied to a stock trading simulation system,
If the desired sale is a sale by sale, the order range shall include any value,
If the desired buy / sell is a buy / sell sell at the limit price, the order range should be greater than or equal to the limit price,
If the desired buying and selling is buying and selling at the limit price, the order range shall be the range below the limit price.
And the said predetermined time slot | zone is obtained by dividing | segmenting the period when the transaction about the said transaction object is traded by predetermined time length.
In addition, the price range in each of the divided time zones is a range between the high and low prices of the four prices of the buying and selling price for the transaction target in the time zone.

Hereinafter, when referring to each component included in the server device, the number of each component shown in FIG. 1 is used.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the outline | summary is demonstrated about the structure and operation | movement of the trading simulation system 150 whole which concerns on this Embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the trading simulation system 150 includes a plurality of terminal devices 160 and a server device 200 that can be connected to the plurality of terminal devices 160 via a computer communication network such as the Internet. In FIG. 3, as the terminal device 160, one terminal device 160 in a state in which communication with the server device 200 is possible and one terminal device 160 in a state in which communication with the server device 200 is not possible are illustrated.

  The terminal device 160 receives an order range input from the user. Specifically, for example, the terminal device 160 receives information indicating either selling or buying and information indicating a desired price from the user. Here, the information indicating the desired price is either information indicating a limit order, information indicating the limit price, or information indicating a market order.

  And the terminal device 160 memorize | stores the order information which designates the said order range and the time when the said order range was received from the user. Here, the data format in which the order information is stored is arbitrary. For example, a flag indicating whether or not the order is a store order is stored, and a positive integer is set for a sell order and a buy order is set. The limit price is stored as a negative integer, and information indicating the time is stored as a character string.

  If the terminal device 160 can communicate with the server device 200, that is, if it is online, the terminal device 160 transmits the stored order information to the server device 200.

  On the other hand, the server device 200 receives a stock price distributed in real time from the external server 300. Then, the server device 200 generates four values for each predetermined time length based on the received stock price and stores them in a hard disk (not shown). The external server 300 is a server prepared by a securities company, for example.

  Here, the four values generated by the server device 200 will be described with reference to FIG. The four prices are composed of four prices, an opening price, a closing price, a high price, and a low price, and are prepared for each predetermined time length. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the predetermined time length is 5 minutes, and is prepared for each time slot obtained by dividing the previous field into 24. That is, the server device 200 generates four values every 5 minutes and stores them in the hard disk. For example, the server apparatus 200 stores all the stock prices received from 9:00 to 9:05 in the RAM 103 in association with the time. Then, the server device 200 sets the stock price stored in the RAM 103 in association with 9:00 as the opening price, the highest price among the stock prices stored in the RAM 103, and the stock price stored in the RAM 103. Four values are generated with the lowest price as the lowest price and the stock price stored in the RAM 103 in association with 9:05 as the closing price, and stored in the hard disk in association with the time zone from 9:00 to 9:05. To do. Similarly, the server apparatus 200 obtains four values for all time zones and stores them in the hard disk.

  When the server device 200 receives the order information transmitted from the terminal device 160, the server device 200 acquires four values in the time zone including the time specified in the order information from the hard disk. For example, when the time specified in the order information is 9:03, the server apparatus 200 acquires four values in the time zone from 9:00 to 9:05 from the hard disk. Then, the server apparatus 200 sets a range between the acquired high value and low value of the four values as an established range.

  Then, the server device 200 determines whether or not the order range specified in the received order information overlaps with the formation range. If the server device 200 determines that the order range and the established range do not overlap, the server device 200 transmits result information indicating that the sale has not been established to the terminal device 160.

  On the other hand, if the server device 200 determines that the order range and the establishment range overlap, the server device 200 selects one of the prices from the overlap range, and a result indicating that the sale has been established at the selected price Information is transmitted to the terminal device 160.

  Upon receiving the result information transmitted from the server device 200, the terminal device 160 presents the received result information to the user.

  The terminal device 160 waits until it is online while communication with the server device 200 is impossible, that is, when it is offline, and stores the order information stored therein after it is online. Send to.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 5, the function of each part with which the terminal device 160 is provided is demonstrated. As illustrated in FIG. 5, the terminal device 160 includes an order range reception unit 501, an order storage unit 502, an order transmission unit 503, a result reception unit 504, and a result presentation unit 505.

  The order range receiving unit 501 receives an input of the order range from the user.

  The order storage unit 502 stores order information that specifies the order range and order time received by the order range receiving unit 501.

  The order transmission unit 503 transmits the order information stored in the order storage unit 502 to the server device 200 when communication with the server device 200 becomes possible via the computer communication network.

  The result receiving unit 504 receives the result information transmitted from the server device 200.

  The result presentation unit 505 presents the result information received by the result reception unit 504 to the user.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 6, the function of each part with which the server apparatus 200 is provided is demonstrated. As illustrated in FIG. 6, the server device 200 includes an order receiving unit 601, a successful range acquisition unit 602, a failure result transmission unit 603, a price selection unit 604, and a success result transmission unit 605.

  The order receiving unit 601 receives the order information transmitted from the terminal device 160.

  In the established range acquisition unit 602, the order receiving unit 601 acquires the established range.

  If the order range specified in the order information received by the order receiving unit 601 does not overlap with the established range acquired by the established range acquisition unit 602, the failure result transmission unit 603 determines the transaction target related to the received order information. As a result, the terminal device 160 is transmitted to the terminal device 160.

  When the order range specified in the order information received by the order receiving unit 601 and the formation range acquired by the formation range acquisition unit 602 overlap, the price selection unit 604 selects any price from the overlap range.

  The establishment result transmission unit 605 transmits, to the terminal device 160, result information that specifies that the purchase and sale of the transaction object related to the order information received by the order reception unit 601 has been established based on the price selected by the price selection unit 604. To do.

  Next, the operation of the terminal device 160 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating an example of order processing executed by the terminal device 160. The terminal device 160 repeatedly executes the order process shown in FIG. 7 while the power is turned on and the terminal program (the trading simulation program for the terminal device 160) is operating.

  First, the CPU 101 determines whether or not there is an order for buying and selling a certain transaction target from the user by monitoring the input unit 105 (step S701). While determining that there is no order from the user (step S701: NO), the CPU 101 repeats the process of determining whether there is an order from the user (step S701).

  If the CPU 101 determines that there is an order from the user (step S701: YES), the CPU 101 receives an order range input from the user via the input unit 105 or the touch screen 108 (step S702). That is, the CPU 101, the input unit 105, and the touch screen 108 function as an order range reception unit 501.

  Next, the CPU 101 reads the value stored in the RTC 113 and obtains the current time, that is, the time when the order is accepted from the user (step S703).

  Then, the CPU 101 stores order information specifying the order range received from the user and the acquired order time in the RAM 103 (step S704). That is, the RAM 103 functions as the order storage unit 502.

  Next, the CPU 101 determines whether or not communication with the server device 200 is possible (step S705). While determining that communication with the server apparatus 200 is not possible (step S705: NO), the CPU 101 repeats the process of determining whether communication with the server apparatus 200 is possible (step S705).

  If the CPU 101 determines that communication with the server apparatus 200 is possible, the CPU 101 transmits the order information stored in the RAM 103 to the server apparatus 200 via the NIC 109 (step S706). That is, the CPU 101 and the NIC 109 function as the order transmission unit 503.

  Then, the CPU 101 determines whether there is data transmitted from the server device 200 by monitoring the NIC 109 (step S707). While determining that there is no data transmitted from the server apparatus 200 (step S707: NO), the CPU 101 repeats the process of determining whether there is data transmitted from the server apparatus 200 (step S707).

  When determining that there is data transmitted from the server device 200 (step S707: YES), the CPU 101 stores the result information received by the NIC 109 in the RAM 103 (step S708). That is, the CPU 101 and the NIC 109 function as the result receiving unit 504.

  Then, the CPU 101 presents the received result information to the user (step S709). Specifically, the CPU 101 displays the transaction result indicated by the result information on the touch screen 108 in cooperation with the image processing unit 107. That is, the CPU 101, the image processing unit 107, and the touch screen 108 function as the result receiving unit 504.

  When the CPU 101 presents the result information to the user, the order process is completed.

  Next, the operation of the server device 200 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating an example of an order result generation process executed by the server device 200. The server device 200 repeatedly executes the order result generation process shown in FIG. 8 while the power is turned on and the server program (the server device trading simulation program) is operating.

  First, the CPU 101 determines whether or not there is data transmitted from the terminal device 160 by monitoring the NIC 109 (step S801). While determining that there is no data transmitted from the terminal device 160 (step S801: NO), the CPU 101 repeats the process of determining whether there is data transmitted from the terminal device 160 (step S801).

  When determining that there is data transmitted from the terminal device 160 (step S801: YES), the CPU 101 stores the order information received by the NIC 109 in the RAM 103 (step S802). That is, the CPU 101 and the NIC 109 function as the order receiving unit 601.

  Next, the CPU 101 specifies to which time zone the order time indicated by the received order information belongs (step S803).

  Then, the CPU 101 acquires four values for the specified time period from the hard disk (step S804).

  Further, the CPU 101 acquires a formation range that is a price range between the acquired high price and low price (step S805). That is, the CPU 101 and the NIC 109 function as the establishment range acquisition unit 602.

  Next, the CPU 101 determines whether or not the order range indicated by the received order information overlaps with the acquired establishment range (step S806).

  If the CPU 101 determines that the order range does not overlap with the established range (step S806: NO), the CPU 101 sends the result information that specifies that the received order information is unsuccessful to the terminal via the NIC 109. The data is transmitted to the device 160 (step S807). That is, the CPU 101 and the NIC 109 function as the failure result transmission unit 603.

  On the other hand, if the CPU 101 determines that the order range and the formation range overlap (step S806: YES), the CPU 101 selects a price (step S808). That is, the CPU 101 functions as the price selection unit 604. Note that various methods can be considered for the CPU 101 to select which price from the overlapping range of the order range and the establishment range. For example, there are the following methods.

  First, the CPU 101 refers to the RTC 113 and acquires the time when order information is received, that is, the reception time. Then, the CPU 101 obtains a time difference between the reception time and the order time specified by the order information. Then, the CPU 101 selects a price that is more advantageous to the user from the overlapping range as the time difference is smaller.

  That is, when the price range desired to be sold is set in the order information, the CPU 101 selects a higher price in the overlapping range as the time difference is smaller. When the price range desired to be purchased is set in the order information, the CPU 101 selects a lower price (cheap price) in the overlapping range as the time difference is smaller.

  Specific examples will be described below with reference to FIGS. 9A, 9B, 10A, 10B, 11A, and 11B. In the following description, the selected price is Psel (yen), the time difference is T (hours), the limit price is Pord (yen), the maximum value of the order range is PordH (yen), and the lowest price of the order range is PordL (yen) ), PgoH (yen) is the highest value of the formation range (high value of the four values), and PgoL (yen) is the lowest value of the formation range (the low value of the four values).

When the user places a probable selling order, as shown in FIG. 9A, the order range is 0 to ∞, and the overlapping range is PgoL to PgoH. Here, for example, the CPU 101 obtains Psel by the following calculation formula.
(A) When T <24 Psel = PgoH− (PgoH−PgoL) / 24 × T (1)
That is, the CPU 101 selects a higher price as Psel in PgoL to PgoH as T is smaller. That is, as shown in FIG. 9A, Psel = PgoH is set when T = 0, a small value is set as Psel as T increases, and Psel = PgoL is set when T = 24.
(B) When T ≧ 24 Psel = PgoL (2)
That is, when T exceeds a predetermined value, the CPU 101 selects the lowest price in PgoL to PgoH as Psel. That is, as shown in FIG. 9A, Psel = PgoL when T ≧ 24.
In this way, when the user places a successful selling order, the smaller the time difference, the higher the price selected as the selected price.

When the user makes a successful purchase order, as shown in FIG. 9B, the order range is 0 to ∞, and the overlapping range is PgoL to PgoH. Here, for example, the CPU 101 obtains Psel by the following calculation formula.
(C) When T <24 Psel = PgoL + (PgoH−PgoL) / 24 × T (3)
That is, the CPU 101 selects a lower price as Psel in PgoL to PgoH as T becomes smaller. That is, as shown in FIG. 9B, Psel = PgoL is set when T = 0, a large value is set as Psel as T increases, and Psel = PgoH is set when T = 24.
(D) When T ≧ 24 Psel = PgoH (4)
That is, when T exceeds a predetermined value, the CPU 101 selects the highest price in PgoL to PgoH as Psel. That is, as shown in FIG. 9B, when T ≧ 24, Psel = PgoH.
In this way, when the user places a successful purchase order, the lower the time difference is, the lower the price is selected as the selected price.

When the user places a sell order for the limit price (Pord ≦ PgoH), as shown in FIG. 10A, the order range is between Pod and ∞, and the overlapping range is between Pod and PgoH. Here, for example, the CPU 101 obtains Psel by the following calculation formula.
(E) When T <24 Psel = PgoH− (PgoH−Pord) / 24 × T (5)
That is, the CPU 101 selects a higher price as Psel in the Pod to PgoH as T becomes smaller. That is, as shown in FIG. 10A, Psel = PgoH is set when T = 0, a smaller value is set as Psel as T becomes larger, and Psel = Pord is set when T = 24.
(F) When T ≧ 24 Psel = Pord (6)
That is, when T exceeds a predetermined value, the CPU 101 selects the lowest price from Pord to PgoH as Psel. That is, as shown in FIG. 10A, Psel = Pord when T ≧ 24.
In this way, when the user places an order to sell the limit price, the smaller the time difference is, the higher the price is selected as the selected price.
Note that when the user places a sell order for the limit price (Pord> PgoH), as shown in FIG. 10B, there is no overlapping range and the sale is not established.

When the user places a buy order for the limit price (Pord ≧ PgoL), as shown in FIG. 11A, the order range is 0-Pord, and the overlapping range is PgoL-Pord. Here, for example, the CPU 101 obtains Psel by the following calculation formula.
(G) When T <24 Psel = PgoL + (Pord−PgoL) / 24 × T (7)
That is, the CPU 101 selects a lower price in PgoL to Pord as Psel as T becomes smaller. That is, as shown in FIG. 11A, Psel = PgoL when T = 0, a larger value is set as Psel as T increases, and Psel = Pord when T = 24.
(H) When T ≧ 24 Psel = Pord (8)
That is, when T exceeds a predetermined value, the CPU 101 selects the highest price from PgoL to Pord as Psel. That is, as shown in FIG. 11A, when T ≧ 24, Psel = Pord.
As described above, when the user places a buy order for the limit price, the smaller the time difference is, the lower the price is selected as the selected price.
Note that when the user places a buy order for the limit price (Pord <PgoL), as shown in FIG. 11B, there is no overlapping range and the sale is not established.

  In addition to the method described above, the CPU 101 may select a method of randomly selecting a price in the overlapping range. Further, when selecting a price randomly in the overlapping range, the CPU 101 selects the price by setting the expected value of the randomly selected price to a value corresponding to the time difference, for example, the above-described Psel. May be.

  For example, when the user places a sell order for the limit price (Pord ≦ PgoH) and (e) T <24, the Psel indicated by the equation (5) is set to the expected value, and (f) T ≧ 24 In this case, Psel indicated by Equation (6) is set to the expected value. If the randomly selected price is out of the overlapping range, the price may be selected again at random, or if the selected price exceeds the maximum value in the overlapping range, the maximum value in the overlapping range may be selected. When the selected price is less than the minimum value of the overlapping range, the minimum value of the overlapping range may be selected.

  As described above, the CPU 101 selects Psel from the overlapping range based on the time difference between the order time and the reception time.

  The CPU 101 transmits, to the terminal device 160 via the NIC 109, result information specifying that the received order information has been sold and purchased at the selected price (step S809). That is, the CPU 101 and the NIC 109 function as the establishment result transmission unit 605.

  When the CPU 101 transmits either result information indicating that the sale has not been established or result information indicating that the sale has been established based on the selected price (step S807 or step S809), the order result generation process is performed. Complete.

(Modification)
In the above embodiment, even in the limit order, even if the limit price is out of the order range, as long as the order range overlaps with the established range, buying and selling is established within the overlapping range. However, the present invention is not limited to this method, and a function for determining whether or not the limit price is valid is provided. When it is determined that the limit price is not valid, it is treated as having no overlapping range. May be. That is, when it can be determined that the user has placed an order by excluding the market price, or when it can be determined that the user has ordered by mistake, the transaction is not closed. Typically, this is the case where the limit price of a sell order is lower than the lowest value in the established range, or the limit price of a buy order is higher than the highest value in the established range. It should be noted that if the user wants to establish a sale, it is only necessary to place a market order. Therefore, it is considered that there is no particular inconvenience if the transaction is not established if it can be determined that the market price has been disregarded. Hereinafter, description will be given with reference to the drawings.

  When the user places a sell order for the limit price (Pord <PgoL), as shown in FIG. 12A, the order range is between Pod and ∞, but is handled as having no overlapping range. When the user places a sell order for the limit price (PgoL ≦ Pord ≦ PgoH), as shown in FIG. 12 (B), the order range is between Pod and ∞, and the overlapping range is between Pod and PgoH. That is, the CPU 101 selects a higher price as Psel in the Pod to PgoH as T becomes smaller. That is, as shown in FIG. 12B, Psel = PgoH is set when T = 0, a small value is set as Psel as T increases, and Psel = Pord is set when T = 24. Note that when the user places a sell order for the limit price (Pord> PgoH), as shown in FIG. 10B, there is no overlapping range and the sale is not established.

  When the user places a buy order for the limit price (Pord> PgoH), as shown in FIG. 13A, the order range is 0 to Pord, but is handled as having no overlapping range. When the user places a buy order for the limit price (PgoL ≦ Pord ≦ PgoH), as shown in FIG. 13B, the order range is 0-Pord, and the overlapping range is PgoL-Pord. That is, the CPU 101 selects a lower price in PgoL to Pord as Psel as T becomes smaller. That is, as shown in FIG. 13B, Psel = PgoL is set when T = 0, a larger value is set as Psel as T becomes larger, and Psel = Pord is set when T = 24. Note that when the user places a buy order for the limit price (Pord <PgoL), as shown in FIG. 11B, there is no overlapping range and the sale is not established.

  In this modified example, when the limit of the sell order is lower than the lowest value of the established range, or when the limit of the buy order is higher than the highest value of the established range, it is treated as having no overlapping range, but a margin is provided. You may do it. In other words, when the limit price of the sell order is lower than the lowest value of the established range by a predetermined value or when the limit price of the buy order is higher than the highest value of the established range by a predetermined value or more, it may be handled as having no overlapping range.

  In the above-described embodiment, the description has been made on the assumption that the user places an order for buying and selling for a specific brand, but it goes without saying that the user can select a brand. In this case, for example, the order range accepting unit 501 accepts designation of a brand together with the order range from the user. The order storage unit 502 stores information indicating designation of the brand in the order information. Then, the order transmitting unit 503 transmits order information including information indicating designation of the brand to the server device 200. The order receiving unit 601 receives order information including information indicating designation of the brand from the terminal device 160. Then, the formation range acquisition unit 602 acquires four values corresponding to the brand from the external server 300 based on order information including information indicating the designation of the brand, and acquires the establishment range.

  In the above embodiment, the trading of stocks has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to the simulation of trading of stocks, and can be applied to any trading object.

  As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to place an order from a terminal device even in a state where communication with a server device that manages the price of a transaction target is not possible, and to appropriately determine the price of trading based on the time when the order was placed It is possible to provide a trading simulation system suitable for the above, a trading simulation control method, and a program for realizing these by a computer.
