Background

Currently, "trader bonuses" (generated when traders bet on a user's market) count fully toward a user's league profit.

This system may incentivize "trader bonus farming" rather than rewarding pure forecasting accuracy and organic bonuses from high-quality markets. This poll aims to gauge community preference. Please note that this is merely an opinion survey; I have no authority to implement any changes, but perhaps the developers will take notice of this poll.

I personally believe that the trader bonus itself is already the reward for making good markets. I believe leagues should be purely on trading skill. I recognize that I might be in a minority there though.

Seems like less work to simply write it yourself in the first place

they used to count MORE than this. all new traders during the season on any market.

current system is new traders during the season on any market created w/in 30 days.

new one incentivizes creating short term markets. old system rewarded the super prolific more than most folks, but it was still better imo.

I'd answer 'more that this' if given the option
