Currently, when you place a YES limit order when holding NO shares, then this limit order can be canceled if your balance is low, even though your balance would increase by filling this limit order. This is considered a bug by many people, and this market asks when this behavior will be fixed.

This market will resolve to the month when this is fixed. It will resolve to "Not by the end of 2025" at the beginning of 2026 if it hasn't been implemented by that time. This is an experimental market where you can add your own answers. All answers must be exactly 1 month of 1 year before 2026, otherwise they will not be chosen. Hopefully this will mean that there are not too many irrelevant options to choose from at the same time (but maybe it will turn out to be super annoying if the options are out of order).

Details:
For this to resolve YES the following conditions have to hold:

  • All limit orders should be filled if filling them doesn't cause your balance to go negative.

  • Mana that is gained by selling shares should be used to buy shares if your limit order is larger than the amount of shares you hold.

  • Limit orders should be filled as much as possible until your balance is (roughly) 0. (I believe this is already currently the case.)

  • The patch that fixes this has to be live for at least 48 hours without major adjustments.

Limit orders are allowed to be canceled in the following cases, and this market can still resolve YES:

  • If your balance starts out negative

  • If you (somehow) would lose money by selling shares, for example if you have a high loan.

If separate sell limit orders are implemented that can only sell shares, but that satisfy the conditions above, this market will resolve YES.


The time that the patch goes live in (DST adjusted) PST is the relevant time for the resolution of this market. If the patch gets major adjustments, the time of the last major adjustment is used.
