Understanding Your Results
Trading on GE-AS is a competitive activity. Not every sell will be approved, and that is normal. Understanding how results work will help you trade smarter.
How Trades Are Tracked
Every bid and sell you make is recorded in your trade history:
- Bid successful: you receive the product.
- Sell approved: you receive payment at the fill price.
- Sell not approved: you keep the product. Try again.
Your trade history is accessible from your dashboard.
Why Not Every Sell Is Approved
The system evaluates sells in batches. In each batch, only a portion of sellers are approved. This keeps the market sustainable and fair for everyone. It is not personal. Every trader goes through the same process.
If your sell is not approved, it does not mean anything is wrong with your account. It simply means this particular sell was not selected in this evaluation cycle. Adjust your parameters and try again.
What Determines the Fill Price
When your sell is approved, the fill price is determined by current market conditions. It will always fall within the range you set with your Accept Below and Accept Above parameters:
- If the market price is near your asking price, you get close to what you wanted.
- If the market price is below your asking price but within your Accept Below range, you still get the sell done at a lower price.
- If the market price is above your asking price but within your Accept Above range, you receive more than expected.
The fill price is shown in your sell history after evaluation.
Improving Your Results
There is no shortcut to guarantee every sell. But these approaches can help:
- Set reasonable margins. A moderate profit margin is more likely to result in approval than the maximum possible.
- Be flexible with Accept Below. Widening your Accept Below gives the system more room to find a price that works.
- Trade consistently. Regular trading activity works in your favour over time.
- Diversify. Bid on products from different markets and categories rather than concentrating on one.
- Adjust and learn. If your sells are not going through, try different margin and Accept Below combinations. What works may vary by product and market.
Reading Your Trade History
Your trade history shows:
- Product name and value
- What you paid (bid amount)
- What you received (fill price, if approved)
- Profit or loss on the trade
- Date of evaluation
Use this to track your performance and refine your strategy.
