..someone who did their research but can't be in-game all day from earning their margin.
I've identified your error. If your research doesn't take into account what happens with the price after you log off, than it's a poor effort. I am in-game all day and you have to compete with me.
It isn't your margin if you aren't in-market to claim it. It's my margin. You didn't earn anything by identifying a markup and placing an order. The price doesn't stand still or wait for you to get a turn. Fairness simply doesn't come into the equation.

The 0.01 game goes hand-in-hand with brokers forcing the current order to the current strike price. If CCP relaxes on either position everything goes mushy. As soon as customers can skip right past our efforts we'd lose our incentive to offer the best price possible.
That's what this is really about. There is no prize for having the 2nd best price.

To state a clear position better so that you can understand it, a chimp banging on a keyboard can block someone whose done his or her research and staked a position from making a return. To explain your own position to you so that you can understand it, there is no margin above zero that can prevent a chimp banging on a keyboard from underselling a less continuous market participant by a trivial amount.
Frankly, if time spent drooling over the keyboard->win without regard to savvy, then "market PVP" is a bit broken.
You've made your position quite clear: You want a win button for the market. You want to be able to walk away from your terminal and be guaranteed a piece of the pie.
You walked away. You lost your edge. You're gonna have to wait in line now, which comes when I run out of stock. Hope you did your math. Of course you'll come back in a little while and flip out about how the price dropped and then you'll do the lemming flop and we'll start it all over again.
fake edit: I wish they would implement Short Selling so I could just spoof a price and take your stuff when you do the flop.

You made your mind up what you think of it without reading most of the thread.
An 3-4 digits market wouldn't be static. An 3-4 digits market wouldn't be static. An 3-4 digits market wouldn't be static.
It's hard to make an general statement but most products fluctuate with much more than that and many times per week. The active trader would follow these waves or manipulate them while the inactive trader is away and don't get a cut, that's your edge. Every time you made one of those decidions it would require some kindof inteligence behind them, which is, atleast to me, the goal of this.
Nice backpedal.
Insulting the intelligence of your competition probably just feels natural when you keep losing money to them.

OK, here's a thought experiment for you guys and gals. At the moment there are 7 sell orders in Jita for trit at 4.17 isk, the lowest price in station. If you were designing the order-matching procedure, which order(s) should be filled first, and why?
FIFO
