i remember when ce was only 5589 crowns per i hate the new market

That they should change the fee (As a suggestion) and give a suggested listing price for each? Running off this math?

My graphing calculator is packed away still, so I created a simple excell sheet to do the equivilent.

When using practial numbers for C and D (6k and 300 respectively) with x from 5000 to 8000 in intervals of 100 I found the following.

with B= to 1 it the graph is lenier (as of course expected) but that of course wont do what your looking for (generate a risk reward range with vastly increasing risk as the reward increases). So 3 was the next number which will create a proper shape, but at such a scale A needs to be VERY VERY small (~10^-6) to keep prices from balooning quickly out of controll. exponents are fun that way. at B=5 that becomes even more excisive. Mathamaticly this is acceptable but as a control process you need to consider the human factor, its harder to think in values that are that small. Also there is very little control over the exponent (B) as it must be an odd whole number (to keep signage correct).

As a solution, and to remove the odd whole number only requirement, I would suggest changing the formula from
Y = A * ( X - C ) ^ B + D

to
Y =Abs(X - C)/(X - C) *A * Abs( X - C ) ^ B + D

Abs( variable) of course means the absolute value of the variable. This removes the sign from the part be raised to the exponent (X-C)^B, allowing not only even number values for B, but decimal values as well, provideing a great deal more controll over when and how signifigantly the listing fee of higher sales baloons. adding Abs(X - C)/(X-C) to the begining keeps the correct signage (reducing listing fee when sale price is under "C", increasing when its over). This of course creates a divide by zero error when x=c but that is easily solved by either adding .001 to C or simply puting a line that says when X=C then Y=D.

Add in a minium listing fee for very low sale prices, as with both formulas if the listed sale is enouph bellow the suggested sale value then the listing fee would go negitive, and thats just silly.

As a side note, how would this effect listing buy prices.

Edit: changed ABS() to Abs(), excell uses all caps so thats what i did when i wrote this, but then i looked at it and realized some people could get confused with the variables A and B, especialy those with less mathy backgrounds.

OK, you aren't real clear in your original post, but it sounds like you are again proposing to put a listing fee on cr<->CE exchange.

Again, why do you want the market to be more volatile and have the exchange rate to go up? That is what will happen if you put any listing fee at all.

But, it makes little difference. I can't see OOO implementing fee structure this complicated. The fee needs to be able to be explained in a simple sentence or two, something that even 13 year olds can understand.

.

OK, I'm going to guess that your goal isn't to raise the volatility of the market and the exchange rate, but rather you think that people are building "walls" to raise the exchange rate. If that is the case, why not something simple, like they use in real markets to reduce the volatility, such as market circuit breakers?

For example, let people put in any sized buy or sell order that they want, and let them cancel those orders at any time. However, require a certain amount of time to pass before they can place another one. Say, 5 seconds per 100CE block, so someone who places 10 blocks of 100CE would have to wait almost a minute before then can place another order, but someone who places 100 blocks would have to wait almost 10 minutes. This would stop them from just canceling the order when people start filling it. In real world markets, the "circuit breakers" are global, so that no one can quickly list large blocks of orders when too many people are listing and canceling orders.

How about if ooo just let us see the full depth of the market?

I'm fairly certain if people saw the full breadth of the bids at any given time, the ce/cr game would change.

if you list for too much, the fee is too much

Any listing fee is too much, unless your goal is to increase volatility and the exchange rate.

Then again, most nubs just use "buy now".

You really don't understand how the exchange works... *sigh* Not only is there nothing wrong with people using the "buy now" option, but rare exceptions, that is the only way buy/sell orders are filled.
