> Your Proxy bid value is neither visible to your competitors nor MJ. It remains undisclosed at the back end of the system,

> You will continue to remain H1 & will be shown a hammer on your screen until you are out bided,

> In case the hammer disappears from the screen it implies that your competitor has finally bettered his bid compared to your proxy bid and you are no longer leading in the lot. You have to revise your bid again to remain in competition and win the market,

> It may also be noted that the system will continue to revise your bid so long it receives a revised bid from your competitor. In case it does not receive any and the market run time ends, you will be the H1 for that lot at the market price prevalent at the time of closure.
