Auction Graph

You can monitor auction behavior in real time on the Auction graph.

• To enable the Auction graph, select Auction Graph from the Status pull-down menu.

For sellers the Auction graph looks like the one shown.

The graph elements are:

• Auto-scaling Y-axis indicating unit price (axis is scaled to show all current bids).
• Auto-scaling X-axis indicating quantity (axis is scaled to show available quantity.
• Blue dots, representing the last bids received from all bidders (excluding a bid by the Dynamic Seller agent, which is shown as a red dot).
• A red dot, with ID number, indicating the last bid from the Dynamic Seller agent.
• Red line representing your agent's valuation curve as determined by settings in your active valuation window.
• A blue shaded area representing the allocation of bandwidth to successful bidders. This area is a series of blocks, where the height represents the unit price paid and the width represents the quantity allocated.

Clicking the right mouse button changes the scale of the unit price axis (Y axis). Note the units on the X axis in the examples shown in the illustration. The cursor changes to indicate that the scale is expanded or contracted.
