I'll try to explain how I understand.

a) the lowest ask is less than 110% of the moving average

AND

b) lowest ask is more than the call price.

This is to prevent a margin call to be triggered if the spread widens but your call price is still a fair bit above the average trading price.

For example you shorted at 30 BTSX so your call price is 45 BTSX.
Now if the moving average of actual trades was 40 BTSX and the lowest ask went up to 50 BTSX the margin would not be triggered because condition a) is not fulfilled. The lowest ask can rise to these levels without trades actually occuring at that price.
Your margin would only be called if the moving average rose above 40.909 BTSX.

One thing to have clarified by BM: Is the initial margin really 66% (or flipped 150%)? My current experience trading with 0.4.12 is more like 75% (133%)

That version won't even start on my system.

Try the 32 bit version for Windows. The 64 bit seems to have an issue with starting.

I would like multiple choices in the poll too please.
I had the windows "No connection" thing but was able to fix that by cleaning everything out, reinstalling, re-syncing and rescanning.

After the fresh installation I imported my private key. Most of my transactions then showed up in the list but all incoming transactions from the market into my account were missing. As a result my balance showed zero. I was able to fix that my importing the json backup. I though the private key was enough?

Now the market page is messed up with "insufficient depth". Ask depth is 1,432,242 BTSX in the header even though I can see a big order @36998 with 17m BTSX. I'm currently doing another rescan, see if that helps.

I also have the jump from market page to overview frequently. When I enlarge the BTSX window until it is wide enough to display Bid, Ask and Margin columns next to each other and then shrink it again it jumps.

0.4.9a on Win7

edit: Rescan didn't help the market page. It seems my market froze when I imported the backup. The chart is not being updated, ask and bid don't change, order history is empty.

My suggestion: Convert the BTC sitting in the Angel fund to BitUSD. Do this at 90%, announce it and make it trackable for everybody.

If this is an arbitrage opportunity, instead of complicating the market rules, why not just take advantage of it?

Mine is broken again too.

After giving it a seed node it started re-syncing. Number of connections quickly went up to 8 and stayed there. When it hit about 2 days to go it suddenly went back to "Not connected".

Well in theory that would be shorting bitUSD. Although because everybody seems to think the same bitUSD is currently trading about 15 % below parity.

BitShares currently implements a "multi-part" transfer feature in the console.  This feature will generate as many transactions as necessary to transfer the desired amount from one person to another.   These independent transactions are unlinkable and could be going to One person, N people, or simply back to yourself assuming they were broadcast at random intervals rather than "all at once".   

Is this already implemented as of 0.4.6? What is the command syntax? I can't find anything in the console help.
