Will Manifold add markers on the colored probabilty bar showing what probability my bet was made at?

The homepage currently shows a bar representing the current market probability. One piece of info I've wanted easy access to is the probability at which I made a bet, so that I can see how much the market has shifted. The probability bar seems like a great candidate for this by adding markers at where my bet was made. Multiple bets can either be shown as multiple markers/lines, or combined into a weighted average. This question will resolve to N/A if Manifold decides to remove the colored probability bars.

Didn't happen, but still think it would be great to have some indicator of what price/prob my avg. bet was at. cc @ian

This seems like it would add a lot of visual complexity to the UI for something that most people won't care about. I think a different place would be better for this, like the "your bets" tab. Also I think the quick vote arrows are darker if you've placed a bet in that direction, which provides some of the information you're looking for.

@IsaacKing I'd be suprised if most people don't care about how much the market has changed since they made the bet? At least for me, it tends to be the primary thing I care about wherever I see that market (and the related comments/info/news which might have led to a change). Also some good options to make it visually useful rather than adding to complexity; @noumena had a good suggestion in the comments below: https://manifold.markets/akhil/will-manifold-add-markers-on-the-co#ipqSy82zqGoOj1xu4Kwk I'm still more bullish than 20% on something along these lines being implemented.

The colored bar could be utilized with some other interesting information too, like the portion reflecting change in the last 24 hrs being a different shade.

predictedYES

And therefore, it might make sense to treat 50% as the base. So 4% is a long downwards red line from the center, rather than a short upward one from the bottom.
