so what timescale are they now changing over? The 24h DT, or something more frequent?

but what was the bug?
order sold to last order set? even with low price?
or just reset at DT?
Twofold I believe:
- The reset at DT, prices were meant to remain the same as before DT
- Prices are meant to 'refresh' at points other than at DT, they didn't

5. Something for the people who are criticising us traders for making the *huge* profits that we do... Remember this. I used to make a regular 5mill per day in trading. To support this I have 100mill in capital tied up in stock to support a week's trading. If I wanted to make 500mill per day I would have to have 50bill tied up. Trading requires a lot of work and comittment to do. These huge profits are veruy often ploughed back in to grow the business. I certainly don't spend 5 mill per day. Now after the nerfing I will be making 2 mill per day with the need for 100mill investment. This is a very poor rate of return.
I am in this category, you've hit the nail on the head. A 100m investment on my behalf, returns approximately 9m in profit per 24h. Even then, my overall ceiling is limited by the physical amount of Trade Good X that I can buy/sell/move.
Looking at things now, I've taken a 2m loss in my investment as I've had an order expire without filling, and I've also got 20m or so in stock waiting to be sold at the maximum NPC price. The old system may have been exploitable, but it sure was easy for almost anyone to make money.
As I've stated elsewhere, the system needs to be less fickle about when a price changes.
Any market gurus got ideas?
