@JamesGrugett resolve por favor?

At the very least, I think it should have a link or an overlay explaining what it means, what is expected in each field. Because here, I've looked at "quick/limit" and no idea whatshowever how it's supposed to be used, what it does
predicted YES
@ArthurMilchior it's a way of saying you're willing to buy YES or NO at a given price that is different than the current price. Aka "I won't pay M$0.50 for a YES share, but I would pay M$0.33 for a YES share"
It'd be neat if the graph showed visually how tight the limit orders were over time. Perhaps by showing how far a m10, m100, and m1000 order would move the market in each direction via a green gradient, taking account liquidity and limit orders. This can also be a visual cue to bet or update: if there is a tight green gradient at 50% and I think the true odds are 90%, either I can make a lot of mana, or I'm wrong.
predicted YES
@MartinRandall this would be cool, and a potential better use for the green shading than the current "shade down" (which I prefer to no shading at all but also am aware isn't informationally useful).

Limit orders are executing as market orders
0% - can no longer get this to work. I tried to set up a limit order to buy m1 of NO at 10% on a market currently at 6% and it told me: > Max NO payout M$999 (+99900.0%) Which seems wrong. After selecting to place the bet, it turned out my limit order was: > NO 99.9% M$10
@MartinRandall Terribly sorry, last change introduced a different bug, which should be fixed now.
@JamesGrugett Thanks, back up to 50%.
10% only because itโ€™s crashing for me on mobile and desktop on this market (doesnโ€™t crash for other numeric markets): https://manifold.markets/cosmo/win-100-how-much-cash-will-nomic-ha-be4cb3906a73
@Charlie Thanks for reporting! It's fixed now!
@JamesGrugett thanks for fixing!

10% - I know I was the one who advocated for this change, but I realize now that this option is way less flexible, and I miss the advanced configuration multiple orders allowed (maybe propose it under an advanced tab?). It also feels less intuitive, but that might be because I got used to normal limit orders? In particular maybe the defaults should be 0% and 100% so that it matches the intuition of greyed out placeholders? Also, this new UI crashes my browser tab from time to time
predicted NO
@JoyVoid How is it less flexible? You can leave one empty and then it just puts in a single limit order exactly as before (as far as I know). Maybe it's not obvious that you don't have to fill in both boxes?
Hmm, right now for instance, the market is at 77%, low's placeholder is 69% and high's placeholder is 79% Maybe it's just placeholder as suggestion and not placeholder as value, in which case I don't find it obvious
@JoyVoid Thanks for weighing in @JoyVoid! I updated the UI again โ€” hopefully this is more intuitive! What do you think? The placeholders were suggestions, yeah! But I'm not sure that's clear. I could try removing them, but I thought it looked empty. Also, I can look into the crashes.
Ok, I just removed the placeholder labels so it just shows '0' in the percent inputs. Hopefully users just gloss over that, while subtly informing them they should enter a number.
@JamesGrugett 0 works well, you could also try with YES at 100% and NO at 0% to indicate the default behavior. Thanks for weighing in, I'll try them a little and update my percentage!
@JamesGrugett Also, may I ask if there is a reasoning for not allowing more decimals? I'd like to bet on markets that are at 99.5%, and I'd love to be able to bet, e.g 99.3% or 98.5, the higher we are the more those matters.
predicted YES
@JoyVoid I'd also like the ability to bet to the tenth place. Could be beneficial to only allow it when the probability is above 90% or below 10%, though. Otherwise you'd get very annoying 0.1% increment limit order fights, which aren't really useful or informational outside of the extreme high and low end.
85% - seems nice, and it hasn't crashed since changing to a modal. I haven't used the upper and lower bounds at the same time. By far the Max Payout is what I'd change: Being able to know how much I'd get if it resolved to the probability (especially for pseudonumeric markets), how much I'd get for YES and NO, etc.
bought แน€10 of NO
This is much better for me! But I'm betting that it's a bit confusing to many people. If you wanted to make it more familiar and perhaps easier to understand, I think you could probably just change the labels around a bit - label low = YES and high = NO and then it basically becomes the same as before, except imo easier to use (one less click to switch between yes/no, and easier not to accidentally bet the wrong direction).
predicted NO
90%
predicted NO
Also the current fill indicator is very helpful!
predicted NO
With no background text and a move to YES/NO labels (and amount listed first, not last) would be clearly better than before; without those itโ€™s a bit of an eyesore
