Resolves to BTC/EUR at random time

I will run a script once per day that does the following:

  • Draw a random number between 0 and 999 (inclusive).

  • If the number is 4: Resolve this market to the Bitcoin price in Euro (BTC/EUR) at that time (queried by API).

  • If the number is not 4: Do nothing.

In other words, every day, this market will have a probability of 1/1000 to be resolved at the (then) current Bitcoin price in Euro. If the market is not resolved by resolution date, I will resolve it manually to the then-current Bitcoin price in Euro. If the resolution criterion gets triggered and BTC/EUR is outside of the range of this market (0-1,000,000), this market resolves to the next closest bound (e.g., if BTC/EUR is 2,348,368, this market resolves to 1,000,000). If BTC/EUR leaves these bounds and no resolution criterion is triggered, nothing happens.

My hypothesis is that this market should track BTC/EUR pretty closely if Manifold is efficient. But I probably haven't thought all possibilities through, so interested to see what happens.

Is this script still being run?

bought Ṁ111 LOWER

this will never resolve and i can't get out 😭 😭 😭

Site displaying 26k in many places instead of the full value makes it a real PITA to manage trades

The current price is like 22k, I sank all my mana getting it this low and it’s still not close to the current price

@Quate Started it at the middle of the range to incentivize some trading. Not sure, maybe I should have initialized it with the current value? On the other hand, I'm pretty sure it will get down to the true value quickly. Right now it's free mana, basically.
