Chuckage. If it bothers you as much as it does me, just short in increments...I do it in batches of 25k, so i put in 4 orders in a row.

The chuckage is smaller per order, and it doesn't look as ugly in the end. Edzep's PortMonkey and Chimp help in this regard as you don't have to keep going back in the browser pages after each trade. Of course, if you do the trades too quickly, they sometimes don't take effect, so make a trade, pause, make another, pause, etc.

Oh, and I admit the chuckage is less important for a big port like mine- I just like to see green in the profit column. It's probably a little more important for a smaller port like yours.
