Is there any fee for creating or unwinding a BitCNY margin position? Or are fees ONLY for settlement offset?

If so, why don't we have a small fee for unwinding one, to reduce the opportunity for manipulation? No more than executing a forex trade - 1% or so (about the round trip cost on Forex), maybe a little more for now to encourage certain things, as we're doing with the 5% for BitCNY to prevent removing smartcoins and manipulation (although this fee is extremely high, I understand the temporary need. In the end I envision maybe something like 0.5% for unwinding a margin position, and 1% for force settlement as fair and the funds go back to the BTS ecosystem anyway...)

The obvious solution to prevent market manipulation is a small fee on all official Smartcoins. I would suggest 1.5-2% for smaller liquidity coins, and as low as 0.5% on very liquid, fiat-based smartcoins. 5% is too high though..

the force settle shouldn't be allowed before the feed price worked.
then SILVER would not become such a Joke.
who made this silly logic in the core?
and who take responsibility for it?

no, in fact the share holders think this logic is right.
they have done another awesome worker.
congratulations to the Great Bitshares community.

What are you implying? Did someone get away with an improper trade/settlement and make "free" money? Can you share some proof of any issues?

Worker is voted in.  Please keep us updated on what is being done to achieve the goal.

Yes, please update. Thanks.

Xeroc, whats the best way to follow all of your great activity right now? Seems like we should vote in a Community Manager / Project Manager role with all the increased activity, hard to keep up and stay organized.

Which fork is this?

If he is talking about the upcoming network upgrade (https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-core/releases/tag/2.0.171025), then I have no clue what @alt is talking about.
There are no changes to the "trade logic" - there only is BSIP18 introduced which allows restarting black swanned bitassets.

Can you two please connect and work this out because losing BTSbots would be damaging to BTS, moreso than this network upgrade in the short term.

im having issues sorting by volume now. anyone else?

Also the lag is bad.. need better nodes?

If the bot was released open source on github, and could run from Ubuntu, I'd be interested.

If the bot was even hard coded to give a 1% donation from all profitable trades to a hardcoded BTS user, I'd even leave that in there to support the developers myself. Of course anyone could take that out, but if I get 99% profit from using the bot, I'd use it.

Don't bother trying to donate from the profit. That's a whole huge can of worms. Profit is NOT easy to calculate from a MM bot - AND, Bitshares does a horrible job of reporting / P&L anyway (for now), as you can't export your trade histories more than a few blocks back.

Coming from a seasoned market maker, I encourage you not to code in any donations based on profit. The whole point of BitShares is that you wouldn't need to anyway - that's what the Bitshares funding mechanism is for (worker).

In any case, BitShares desperately needs more liquidity. It would be cool if this helped the average user participate in market making - love this movement! Nice work!

Bot shouldn't focus too much on profit at first. Just make a way for noobs to add buy and sell walls with X% difference from feed price. More advanced techniques can come later easily.
