Actors are motivated by a desire for profits, and they hope to earn profits based on their fundamental belief that a Pantomime’s reference price will be higher or lower in the future. Actors will deposit capital to open Mimes in Pantomimes where they have emotional affinity, or where they believe the current skew of capital spread between the bulls and the bears presents favorable odds on one side. Accordingly, as Actors open positions, they help to discover the True Odds for each side of a given market. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.mimicry.org/whitepaper/players-and-participants/actors-traders.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
