In this self-organized system, we consider only the interaction among traders without external influences. Agents trade according to their own strategy, to accumulate their assets by speculating on the price's fluctuations which are produced by themselves. The model reproduced rather realistic price histories whose statistical properties are also similar to those observed in real markets. date: 1997-10 date_type: published publication: EPL (Europhysics Letters) volume: 40 number: 5 publisher: IOPscience pagerange: 479-484 id_number: 10.1209/epl/i1997-00491-5 refereed: TRUE issn: 0295-5075 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1209/epl/i1997-00491-5 related_url_url: http://arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/9709118 citation: Caldarelli, Guido and Marsili, Matteo and Zhang, Yi-Cheng A prototype model of stock exchange.
