"I know this is reductio ad absurdum, but I don't think the argument has been made as to why 3 not 4 or 5 or 2 digits is the correct level.

Changing the bid increment feels like the wrong solution to an ill-defined problem."]]> DrPierreHazedoneas Feature Requests Sun, 27 Sep 2015 11:20:59 +1300 /forum/read.php?11,34047,34055#msg-34055 /forum/read.php?11,34047,34055#msg-34055

It would be really helpful to have a graph for portfolio value.

It would give much better context to some of the figures that we look at.]]> 12.31pm Feature Requests Fri, 15 May 2015 16:42:42 +1200 /forum/read.php?11,20985,33659#msg-33659 /forum/read.php?11,20985,33659#msg-33659

You want a balance of the increments being sizeable enough that there isn't ridiculously small outbids, while at the same time ensuring it's granular enough for a smooth market.

3 digits is good.

PM.2014.LABOUR (as of writing) would then look like:

Buy Orders
10 $0.517
20 $0.500
10 $0.496
35 $0.490

Sell Orders
1 $0.525
50 $0.530
20 $0.533
40 $0.548
10 $0.550

Outbidding by 0.001 is sizeable enough to 'deserve' to go first in my opinion.

--

Another point which I don't think has been brought up is the bid-ask spread. In the forex market, it's so liquid and tight that going to 5 digits is necessary. Here, the spread is often 1 to 2 cents, cutting the bid-ask spread by half a percentage (buy outbidding by 0.0001) point offers next to no liquidity improvement. Cutting the spread by 5% does (by outbidding by 0.001).

Yes, we would still have idiots always outbidding by 0.001, but at least now we are extracting some tangible liquidity from them whereas before we weren't. In fact, these people would probably start being encouraged!

Given current liquidity/volume, 3 digits is the right amount.

Also, there is no material difference between 51.01% and 51.02%, no one things down to that level of detail when they estimate the odds of an event happening.]]> PK_Opulence Feature Requests Sat, 02 Nov 2013 13:05:01 +1300 /forum/read.php?11,21229,21229#msg-21229 /forum/read.php?11,21229,21229#msg-21229 Quantity Ordered: 50

The fees should be reduced for stocks with high prices.

Such a list could even be as simple as a few forum topics. Only problem there is that we'll know who's making the orders and that may influence our decision to buy them.

I recommend the page be labelled 'latest orders' in the 'browse' column on the 'browse predictions' page. It could be limited to order of the last 24 hours and listed in order of the stock, much like current lists.]]> Milosevic Feature Requests Tue, 01 Oct 2013 20:41:21 +1300 /forum/read.php?11,19891,21019#msg-21019 /forum/read.php?11,19891,21019#msg-21019
I like to know where I'm losing (or winning sometimes) and if I need to do something about it but it's impossible to tell unless I've memorised the latest figures which for me isn't possible.

I bought 10 at .50 then sold 10 at .80. Thats cool.

But then I go and buy some more say another 10 at .50 and all of a sudden my average cost is a lot lower than .50. But the initial purchase was sold, I took my profit. The next purchase is a totally new trade and I do not really want past trading to impact on the average cost on this trade. It just complicates matters so I would rather not have the function.

That said that is my view. there are probably others who like it the way it is.
