@traders here's a poll related to the responses here:

/Eliza/if-you-could-pick-exactly-one-manif-qPuP8pngSQ

@Eliza I have to remake it, made a terrible mistake.

Okay, it's fixed.

Higher/lower markets!!

A 'custom' sort for answers in MC markets

Currently we have high %, low %, oldest, newest, trending, and A-Z as options; but I frequently find the order I intended for my MC market doesn't line up with any of those, and I'm left trying to use workarounds to have it sort the way I wanted it

'Oldest' works well until you add new answers that you want to slot in between older answers

High/low % often works because that often reflects the intended sort, but all it takes is one person making an odd bet or two and the answers can get jumbled, and there are also times where it simply doesn't reflect the intended sort

And A-Z works but often requires rewording answers in a more confusing way and/or adding verbosity

So simply being able to drag answers into the correct order would make creating and maintaining MC markets much easier and nicer

Or if adding that kind of functionality wouldn't be a worthwhile use of dev resources: an easier implementation would be to make it so that you can hide text in an answer (maybe with a backslash or something?) so that you can write your answers to have a hidden numbering at the start and then use A-Z to sort it correctly (eg "\01 This answer is supposed to be sorted into position 1")

Limit orders which fill up gradually: e.g. you put 1000 YES at 5%, and each time the probability goes below 5%, M25 gets filled from the 1000. This solves a couple of issues:

1) avoiding the danger of your mana getting bulldozed by people responding to breaking news.

2) you can put large limit orders at different prices. E.g. you can put YES at 3%, 4%, and 5%. This way if someone bets it down to 2%, you get to buy YES shares at each price. Whereas normally you'd put a large order at 5%, and miss the potential of buying at a better price, or put it at 3%, and risk not having your order filled at all.

I guess you could do this with bots, but... it would be more convenient if it was just on the site.

@ItsMe a first responder to breaking news can bypass this by buying into the limit as much as they're able to, then selling a little and repeating

@retr0id but I guess you could have a cooldown time or something

@retr0id that trick would be difficult to pull off anyways, because some other responder might be buying at the same time. Also the maker of the limit order would get a notification.

We have had a lot of suggestions so I will leave this a couple more days then follow up with another page condensing them!

Inflation adjusted profits. It's hard to know how well I'm doing when everybody's number goes up at the same time.

Also, limit orders with decimal points.

And unbanning all banned users and putting them in a Troublemakers league. Winner gets 1 million mana. Everyone else gets re-banned.

@ItsMe This is a terrible idea. You’re just going to get bots shilling their gambling and real estate sites again.

@GleamingRhino Well, it was a joke. But we could just pick the famous banned users, like Mark Ingraham, Levi Finkelstein, BTE, firstuserhere, evan, etc.

@ItsMe Troublemakers league is a terrible idea, I love it so much

Limit orders

@100Anonymous we already have those, is there something different you'd like to see?

@Eliza Adding in stop loss and take profit considering AMM antibets may also be a good idea.

parlays

@JayveerMehta explain how you think that would work

A filter for markets that are near 50% -- right now there are only filters for high % and low %. Maybe have it include some kind of intelligent treatment of multi-choice markets etc

@hrothgar I'm not sure about right now, but at one point, Isaac's site was able to do this. People used to use that specifically at certain times.

Market probability initialization in the UI (instead of just in the API) since it's better than the alternative of selfbetting immediately after creation and hoping that a bot didn't get there first

@Interrobang A perennial favorite! Only needs the UI work, so close.

@Interrobang I'm leaving this off of the poll because Genzy is already working on it with a UI preview already available. I think that means it already has both blessing and backing so "our work here" won't make much of an impact.

Make a leaderboard of rankings for achievements, so that you can click on an achievement and it shows you the leaderboard for the achievement (i.e X is #1 in the donation achievement, and Y is #2 in the donation achievement). I think it would really be nice if we could see who had the most unique traders, or who donated most.

@johnNZOy The data is already there, only needs a UI. Nice one.

A logout button

@johnNZOy ? there is one

@hrothgar where?

@johnNZOy On the web app it's on the bottom left. On the android app it's in the "More" menu on the bottom right

@hrothgar it's cut off the screen for me

@hrothgar it's cut off the screen, but i ctrl - ed and I could see it. THANK YOU!!!

First party account creation and login

@GleamingRhino That would be nice....but they've been incredibly resistant to this for years, I think their login platform does support it now but it means work, and then also they have to have a real spam solution if they make account creation easier.

Mandatory resolution criteria.

Make "Description" a mandatory field to fill out when creating a market. Change the text to "Provide resolution criteria. Optional: add background infos and details."

@Primer Good one! Check out Genzy's work-in-progress which more strongly encourages this or maybe requires it:

@Primer /Primer/resolution-criteria-mandatory-for-y-ZPCzPER9yS

private leagues with specific dates and rules (i.e. only markets with certain tags)

@No_uh how does that differ from using a curated tag on a set of markets and using the tag's leaderboard? You want it to also be strongly time-limited?

@Eliza Time limiting could be a factor, allows you to use current tags as opposed to arbitrary new tags for markets when they would best fit somewhere else anyway, easier to see the leaderboard clearly with only those you care about.

If i made a curated tag and tried to use that tag's leaderboard, there'd be nothing to prevent non-league members from being on the leaderboard and murking up the positions etc.

@No_uh Ah, so you want to limit both the members and the playground? Okay.

My estimate of getting this feature before end of 2025 is also below 2% but it's still a nice request and something I've also asked for in the past.

@Eliza for league private yeah. I don't care so much about privating market pages themselves, but those who do lots of personal goals markets might enjoy that lol.

UI for placing "limit sell" orders (the kind that can be placed manually today if you do the math and get the NO/YES shares to cancel out, not the "stop loss" kind)

@retr0id good request but don't get your hopes up. I would buy No shares at 2% before the end of the year based on the info I have on this subject.

Nothing, I'm happy

@jim I will be sure to add "do nothing" to the poll.
