I'm now Top 24. Pretty close!

Technically, I reached 227k profits temporarily bc of an N/A voting market, but i don't intend to use a similar trick to resolve this market positively. I'm pretty confident I'll reach top 20 before july, and in fact seems like a 50/50 before may. However, with the pivot looming, it seems likely that profiting from trading will get more difficult, so at that point it might become difficult to reach the top 20 if I haven't already. It remains to be seen.

@Bayesian your current trading style seems well suited to do well in the brave new world of fees and no loans, since you already aggressively realise profits and demand large margins. So I suspect you'll do well in relative terms.

@chrisjbillington good to know! I agree to doing well in relative terms. My guess is that the absolute terms will dwarf the relative terms tho. not sure, might make a market about that later

top 50!

@Bayesian your new tooling seems to have helped tremendously

@mattyb barely, almost all of that was all 1 market and 1 guy

@Bayesian I mean to be clear it does help a bunch, but for this wild growth in the last day it was all a fluke

@Bayesian ok, so this velocity isn’t the new normal. I thought you’d give Joshua a run for his Mana

@mattyb yeahyeahyeah 47000M profit per day, top 20 in 2 days, top 1 in a month

ok we're back at the highest value yet, disregarding the fake price spikes

2 days later:

(this is some N/A price spike shenanigans don't be fooled)
back on the trend, line goes up

Wild how this didn’t move

So I lost 18k to a whalebait

@Joshua ik

I've updated the description with the following, grim, info:
Jan 16, 2024:
- Threshold for Top 20: Ṁ210,594 (20k more!)
- My Position: Ranked #93 with Ṁ59,165 (only 10k more)

Still think it's doable though. tough objective!

think it's not gonna happen. people are getting richer and I am not. note that I'm top 52 now but it's due to a bug so don't bet on that. I'm probably still around #98

nooo don't bet on that! LOL confusion

Seems doable.

Wondering how likely this is; ik people often rise quickly and level off when diminishing returns hit, but not sure to what extent this is the case
