Understanding Discrete Events and Triggering

Use of the Financial Module requires a good understanding of one set of advanced features in GoldSim: discrete event modeling.  Discrete event modeling is discussed briefly in the Tutorial, but due to its importance within the context of the Financial Module, it is discussed further in the topics below.

The basic description of discrete event modeling and triggering presented here should be sufficient to allow you to understand the features and capabilities of the financial elements discussed in subsequent sections.

However, to fully utilize all the features of GoldSim and the Financial Module, you will eventually want to learn more about the details of discrete event modeling. You can do so by consulting the portions of the Help file that discuss these concepts.
