That may imply excessively rapid automated loading of each loan's buy page and submitting a buy order up to 500 as soon as any non-zero amount is shown. Or if unprotected even submitting actual buy orders regularly and having them rejected if nothing is available. Then repeat as soon as the failure response is received.

Mine are n**r I bid on AE504 for £5, followed by BPF600 for £238 the rest of the funds I had available, was £2000 of BPF600 available. Think I bid on something else before these, but had all gone my the time I entered the bid. I am using a single browser window for MT, all manual no bot's used.
Moving on, seen two renewals in the MT pipeline, my renew boxes ticked, doubt will be much left to bid on. Need to transfer over more funds to MT. SS interest credited so asked to withdraw funds, as nothing worth while available. SS funds appeared this morning in current account.

Afternoon,
Just had a good look at the transaction logs and from my perspective I cannot see anything that would suggest any automated bid tools being used.
There were a couple of lenders selling down their holdings on BPF600 on that day and one of them was drip feeding random sale amounts rather than listing the whole amount.
We do have on average around 20 lenders logged in at any one time using browser refresh tools set at 5 second refresh intervals (and would imagine set with alerts to show any changes to the loans page), however there is nothing to indicate that they have developed these tools to also undertake automated bids.
Kind regards,
Ed

I would agree that its a simple monitor that alerted user rather than a bot. Usually bots snap all the loan and dont take anywhere near 13 seconds, as in this case, to do it. Pleaseeeeeeee nnnnnoooooooo captchaaaaaaaaaa. I beg you MT.

I tend to agree with MoneyThing on this, I spent the best part of half an hour yesterday evening tootling small loan parts in various loans up for sale and grouping them up in to larger parts and then buying them back, the £33 on BPF 600 which was just above the transactions listed earlier in this thread was me gathering several loan parts between £2 and £9 together. My internet is cr@p where I live so I had to reload pages several times etc... and I didn't lose a single pennies worth of loan part during this process.
