Well, you need to be careful to understand how system dynamics works: it is a continuous process!

If you want to track your flows, the easiest option is to use a dataset object which tracks the flow at specific points in time.

Below, a flow "AdoptionRate" is tracked by dataset "AdoptersDS" every 0.1 minutes:

However, be aware that this tracks the flow at specific points in time. You can set up similar datasets for your stocks as well.

Alternatively, you could write a recurring event which stores the values at specific points in time into your build-in database.
