The problem isn't the time, it is the constant pushing back. If they would have just said 2 weeks at first, people would have grumbled, but that would have been it.
They keep saying you only get one hour after opening, so everyone has to keep showing up at their deadlines to make sure their buy/sell orders are in place before the market opens.
If they would just change that to 24 hours, people wouldn't be as grouchy.
Seconded. It there is even a tiny chance that prices swing, I want to make sure I'm there. If they gave 24 hours, there would be less chance of big swings and I'd be able to put in my orders ahead of time.
How hard is it to keep your flippin deadline?
