Prices that follow activity
More messages and more people chatting push a ticker up, a quiet spell lets it drift down. Only counts are used, never what anyone writes.
Discord stock market game: trade virtual shares of your server’s channels
Channel Stocks turns your channels into a stock market game. List channels as tickers like $GEN or $MEME; every update the price moves with how busy the channel is compared with its usual activity. Members buy and sell shares with virtual Bank coins and compete on the leaderboard. The shares are virtual and not real securities: they can’t be bought with money or cashed out.

What you get
No whales, no pumps
Trades never move prices, only channel activity does. Smoothing, a floor, a ceiling and a maximum move per update keep the market calm.
A coin sink you control
An optional trading fee removes coins from the economy. Caps per order and per member, plus a trade cooldown, keep anyone from cornering a ticker.
Portfolios and a leaderboard
/stocks portfolio shows positions, cost and profit or loss. /stocks top ranks traders, and a movers feed can post big swings.
Charts in Discord
/stocks market shows prices, 24-hour change and sparklines. /stocks chart adds open, high, low and activity for 24 hours up to 90 days.
Virtual only, by rule
Shares are bought with virtual coins only. In servers that sell coins for real money, buying pauses and prices freeze, while selling stays open fee-free.
How it works
Turn on the Bank and Channel Stocks
Open https://console.botgg.app, choose your server, make sure the Bank is on, then turn on Channel Stocks in the Engagement section.
List your tickers
Pick channels, give each a symbol, emoji, name and listing price. The price simulator shows how a ticker reacts to a spike, a slump or steady chat.
Tune the market
Set how often prices update, how sensitive they are, the fee, position caps and an optional movers channel. The defaults work out of the box.
Members trade
Members check
/stocks market, buy with/stocks buyand sell with/stocks sell. Receipts are private, the leaderboard is shared.
A game about your community, not about money
Channel Stocks rewards members who know the server: which channel will heat up when the new season starts, which one goes quiet on weekends. A steady channel trades around its listing price, buzz pushes it above, and a dead channel slowly deflates. Messages from bots and webhooks don’t count, and thread messages count for their parent channel.
Everything is play money. BotGG never sells coins, shares can’t be cashed out, and because buying shares is speculation with coins, buying is paused in servers that sell coins for real money: prices freeze and members can still sell at the last price with no fee. Tickers that trade: 5 on Free, 25 on Pro; extra tickers are halted (sell only). Staff can cash everyone out from the console, and removing a channel cashes out its holders automatically.

Frequently asked questions
How do I make a stock market game on Discord?
Turn on the Bank and Channel Stocks in the BotGG console, list a few channels as tickers and members can trade right away with /stocks buy and /stocks sell.
Are these real stocks?
No. Shares are virtual and not real securities. They are bought with virtual server coins, can’t be bought with money and can’t be cashed out.
Does the bot read our messages?
No. Channel Stocks only counts messages and unique chatters per channel. It never reads or stores message content.
Can a rich member pump a ticker?
No. Buying and selling never change the price, only channel activity does, and caps limit how many shares one member can hold.
What happens if our server sells coins?
While coins can be bought with real money, buying shares is paused and prices freeze. Members can still sell at the last price with no fee.
