@DylanSlagh I’m new here, is Michael’s bot consistent with a known strategy? (Eg always bet yes or something)
@AshleyDaviesLyons I'm not sure exactly, It might be a secret. I'm guessing its just some simple rules of finance but I don't know enough about finance to guess what
@AshleyDaviesLyons I don’t think the exact details are known, but there is some info available: https://github.com/mwhea/Manifold_Trading_Bots
@MichaelLatowicki I think it's back to normal now. I think it was because I bought NO and had a YES limit order which I set to roughly cancel out my NO. When my limit order was filled I was left with "0 NO shares", presumably because of rounding. I'm guessing I counted for the "positions" but didn't appear there because my number of shares rounded to 0.
When I bought some YES, the number of "positions" didn't change but my name returned to the list.
holders of this market should consider the implications of this market for their position

@MichaelLatowicki Yeah not linking that in the description of this market is some next level snake shit. Easiest creator block of my life
@dgga Is it? I feel like there aren't established norms for these "fun" meta-markets. I can see a case for, "If someone makes a market that radically changes the dynamics of your market, you should include it in the description," as well as, "You don't have to add information to your description as new markets, commitments, agreements, etc. are made that may change incentives," especially since one could add other markets like Michael's that further change incentives—that could be an arguably high expectation for "fun" market makers.
@dgga Personally, I accept I'm taking suboptimal risk by playing in these markets, but I find them fun! I expect most others have a similar mindset, that this isn't the serious side of Manifold with hardcore optimization.
@dgga actually I enjoyed the plot twist. I can see how someone who risked mana on YES would feel differently.
