Event contract app is showing the LAST?

[NickyD]

I've been told by brokerage support that the web app for trading event contracts displays the LAST price for "Yes" and "No'. I'm uncertain how this is useful to anyone who wants to enter a position. Please modify the app to include the current Ask.

As it stands currently, this leads the user to unknowingly entering orders beneath/above the current market and getting angry when they don't fill.

I've now been informed that the app is showing an Ask, not the last. In this case - the app often shows Asks that are un-hittable. You can't get a single contract filled at the price shown, or even the price shown plus a few ticks. It's a non-existent offer. Please fix.

Hello NickyD,

Thank you for the message.

I will be providing this suggestion to our development team as a feature request for a future update to the Event Contracts platform.

We will be following up with a tracking ID once it has been created.

Thank you for your suggestion and patience!

Hello NickyD,

Thank you for your patience.

We have submitted your feature request and it is being tracked under ID NT-6967.

Please refer to this ID if you ever have any further questions in the future.

Unfortunately, there is not currently a release notes page for the Event Contracts application so you will just have to keep using it and see if the Ask and Bid values have been added one day.


Please let us know if we may provide any further assistance.
