Inappropriate?I'm not sure what other users are experiencing. In my experience, when I cash out at least one day after a wager, my cash out adds to the activity - when I cash out on the same day they cancel each other out.
I've never considered this a bug. The same day cancel setting prevent users from artificially inflating activity. If a user wants to inflate activity, they have to leave their H$ in the question and wait for the next day to cash out, during which time their H$ is at risk and voluntarily unavailable.
It doesn't bother me that the activity totals include cash outs. Activity is the flow of H$ in and out of a market. When breaking news changes the odds of a market the increased activity moves it higher up the most active markets page.
This is extremely useful and helpful. It's saved me H$ several times. A great case in point was the Hillary markets. When Obama was announced the presumed nominee by several news outlets the Hillary markets skyrocketed in activity and alerted me to do some more research on the matter. It didn't matter to me whether the activity/odds changes were due to wagers or cash outs... what did matter to me was the sudden and seriously volatile movements.
So, although I commented on this matter in the question NewsWrangler referenced above, I was and am not complaining. I believe that activity totals should reflect cash outs, so long as the 'wait-a-day' functionality remains in place to hinder artificial activity.
I’m content!

The different results you getting in Activity based on if you cash out the same day or the next day isn't something I understand.
From the earlier comments, that's not the same result that (all) other users are getting.
For me, adding/subtracting from Activity seems to depend on if my prediction is public or private.
It will be nice to know from the Tech Team how it's supposed to be! -
Inappropriate?I equate activity with movement. If the market moves it's activity.
I’m still content!

Inappropriate?Destry -- FYI, heres a Q&A on the "negative balance Activity" you asked about in this discussion thread.

Inappropriate?fingers_of_fury is precisely correct about the intended working of the system, and the reasons for it.
public/private shouldn't have any effect since it isn't checked by this code.
