Do you mean the Min Res trade MacSpanner? Using the Tinybeans forum topic has thrown me a bit. If it's the MIN trade it's because you put the buy price as $42 on 20 Nov, but that was a Saturday so the first chance you would of had to execute that order was the close on Monday 22 Nov. It closed at $42.03 on that day and hasn't been below that level since.

Exactly right Noddy. Your trade will remain pending until MIN closes at or below your limit price MacSpanner, which you have currently set at $42.00. You can edit that price, or wait.

Disclosure: I like MIN, and they're back on my watchlist at around $40 to $45 - I thought they were expensive up around $60, but they're better now. While I'm not (yet) holding them now, I have certainly done well out of holding MIN shares in prior years. The thing about Chris Ellison is people either love him or hate him. He's good for MIN, but not so good to be on the other side of a transaction with, but that's another story. Since this has somehow ended up in the Tinybeans (TNY) General Discussion forum I should probably mention that I do not hold TNY, and never have. And probably never will having had a brief look at them. The title of this thread reminds me of a site improvement suggestion I made in both the Bugs Reporting Forum and the Next Strawman Update Suggestions forum one month ago.

Perhaps this will ring a bell:

30-Oct-2021: Not a bug as such, but an idea for a site improvement - that would be relatively simple to implement I expect - When you click on the Forums tab at the top of the screen, you get a list of all the forums in reverse chronological order, i.e. starting with the one that has been updated/added to (or created, if there has never been an addition) most recently at the top, and on down to the forums that have been added to a LONG time ago. All good, except that because it lists forums that have been created both from the "Forums" page and from each company's home page, there are some topic titles that in no way explain what the forum is about.

One quick example is the "General Discussion" forum from two days ago - which was created from the Tinybeans Group (TNY) home page here on Strawman. If you are accessing it from the TNY home page, it makes perfect sense, because it's a general discussion about TNY, however if you are scrolling through topic titles from the "Forums" home page, the title "General Discussion" gives zero indication what that topic of that forum is about.

Other examples of where this system could be improved are highlighted here in this image:

My suggestion is that if a forum is created from a company page, rather than from the "Forums" page, then the name and/or ticker code of the company is automatically included at the start of the forum title. In the three examples above, those forum titles would then read:

Ensurance Limited (ENA): September Quarterly Report

Tinybeans Group Limited (TNY): General Discussion

Codan Limited (CDA): Sell down, again

This could be done by the system (site) easily I would have thought, whenever a forum topic is created from a company's home page. It will make it a LOT easier to find useful content from the Forums home page, because we'll actually know what companies these forums are about.
