The currency trade has always been a great place to make profit and still is - but it's seen better days. Bots are closing the spreads so it's virtually impossible to make money from spread trading, the rates are so high it's harder for poorer TCers to get onto the trade and one little typo can cost you all your money. I want to fix these problems and make the TC safer, more profitable and completely eliminate our botting problem. Suggestion 1: CAPATCHA Bots. They've been horrifically annoying to human TCers because they're programmed to repeatedly jump any offer given the spread is high enough. This means as soon as you post a trade, they've jumped you. When their order is finished they just post a new one before you get a single Ticket through. A CAPATCHA every 20 trades or so (non-stackable) should stop them. Suggestion 2: "Auto-readjust rates" This could take a little bit of explaining. Whenever someone posts a market order that buys part of your trade, it can adjust the rate of your offer. Say I post an order of 100 R$ to 1038 Tix. That's a rate of 10.38. Another guy comes along and posts a market order of 26 Tix. 26/10.38=2.5 - the ROBLOX currency trade rounds down how much Robux he gets to 2. So we have 26 taken from want and 2 taken from give resulting in 98 R$ for 1012 Tix which is a rate of 10.32. My suggestion is to recalculate the rate every order to be as close to but not greater than the original order's rate. Suggestion 3: Currency trade safety catch. The time-old mistake. Miss a number, lose all your money. I made a mistake once and it cost me 90% of my money. You should be able to set the max rate you can buy R$ for and the minimum rate you can sell them for so you don't have to worry about blunders. (You could change this at any time to accommodate for changing rates) Prevent account hijacking: http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=140591710

don't exactly understand number 2 but support also capatchas should be every couple trades or every trade "If I reply meanly, it's because you've said something stupid. Not that I care if I offended you 80 percent of the time." -Me

For the third thing you mentioned, which I believe is a good idea, have any of you seen the ROBLOX+ extension? When selling a limited and you type in a number below rap, it warns you and the sell button says "make bad sale". The tc catch could be like this too, where it warns users but does not stop them.
