Trader-Bugmark User Issue 2

[NDamen]

Issue Source: http://github.com/bugmark-trial/trader1/issues/276

Confusion:
a) How can the same person be a Funder and a Worker at the same time (Person ‘Si’) ?

b) The issue got resolved, but there is no resolve message in the issue messages on GitHub.

c) What does ‘value’ mean? I accepted 5 offers (and I believe I resold the ‘ > Si ‘ one, but I don’t remember that). There are a total of 9 offers for 6-15, thus the total value of the issue is 180. However, that is slightly confusing to me because when I am looking at my own overview, I don’t know/care about the total value, as I only care about what I put in myself.

Note: Although a solution was posted, this was after the maturation date, hence the funder got the payout.
Suggestion: Change the word ‘resolved’ into something more indicative of what happened, maybe a variation of ‘Unresolved: Funder payout’ and ‘Resolved: Worker payout’

a) The exchange just tries to match buy offers on the fixed side to buy offers on the unfixed side. To match, we consider prices, volumes and maturation dates, but (normally) don't care about the identity of the user who offers. So yes, the exchange allows having the same person on both sides of a contract. But in most cases, the application would try to let a user cancel their own offer rather, and prevent taking their own offer.

b) In our newest exercise, the intern exercise, we're trying to clean up the resolution messaging.

c) Same as b) - we need to clean up this messaging. It's proven to be easier to create the trading mechanisms than to explain them. :-p
