Just put a shedload for sale (55k). Check for bots! Thanks for letting us know. Though unfortunately it was too late by the time I'd read it!

Lot's in today's news about bots for ticketing websites (touts) being made illegal. The issues, technology and possible regulation have many similarities to p2p bots. Jack P

AIUI bots are contrary to MT's T&C. ISTM that they could easily enforce that, at least on the SM. Simply log the time that a loan is offered for sale and again when it is bought and report any where the interval is too short to have been done manually. What do you think MoneyThing?

There is no doubt in my mind that some of my recent SM offerings have been hoovered up by bots - I couldn't have even bought them back myself within the time it took for them to go, and I knew they were coming! That said, I do accept that the bots are not buying everything.

Um, registered on mt and was going to start investing tomorrow building a diverse holding slowly using the sm , do not think I will bother having seen the above. It is evident competition from the bots make it not worth the effort and probably not possible to achieve in any reasonable time scale.Shame

The bid limit was lifted at 4pm. Everyone knew that in advance, I was able to get matched just by pushing refresh from 5 secs before 4pm to 5 secs after 4pm. If so-called 'bots' can be beaten manually just by dedicating a mere 10 seconds of an afternoon to it, then they really are quite useless bots

A platform where there is a lot on offer on the SM would be of concern to me.

Yes I am deliberately missing out for the following reasons: FS Reckless lending without DD eg NI Turbine Abl ditto eg Containers AC Lack of transparency on the QAA as to who will lose out in the event of a loss. Ly Most of what's on offer on the SM is overdue and likely to default.
