4.2. Can the software be used for a real-money market?

Probably not without some modifications. Some of the answers to the question "Is the supply of money in the market constant?" are probably inappropriate for a real-money market. Returns on investment (and possibly other things) will currently be miscalculated if a trader deposits or withdraws money after opening an account. Also, I haven't been as carefull about verifying that the system is secure as I would have been if I intended to use it to handle real money.
