Not sure I understand. I bought some Kar* Pl* loan units on the secondary market and I notice :
* in my overall loan book, I see 2 entries for that loan (two different lines for auction 40, instead of one holding all the units I own, although when I click on one, it shows me the total position with an average interest rate) * when I go into one of the positions (apparently the one that have been bought on the secondary market ?), I notice some loan units are bought at a 14.9 % rate, others are at 14 %
So how does my autoinvest work ? Does it buy anything that comes available whatever the rate was originally, and I receive the rate that the initial bidder said he was comfortable with ?
Sounds strange. But maybe it is how it works for loans with a flexible rate.
But can I then control a floor on the rate I want to buy, as it could virtually buy me units paying only 5 % as the initial rate band was 5 to 15 % !

We've only had two variable rate auctions, whilst historically the platform supported them we've never been comfortable with the concept and have preferred to price to risk instead of liquidity. Auto Invest doesn't really support them very well in that it will just buy any loan unit that becomes available. It never seemed worth it supporting adding extra settings and controls just to support those loans. The new site will continue with that tradition as they don't really fit with any of the new systems, so whilst there will be a solution it's not going to be full blown support with bells and whistles. Indeed the new site actually drops support for running new variable rate auctions.
Taking a quick look in the database the lowest rate on either of those two loans is 10% with a range of bids above that all the way up to 15%.
