Title: Anomalous $1bn trade on MtGox Post by: Seal on October 12, 2012, 03:26:02 PM I've been querying the MtGox trade data recently and came across an entry on 09/08/2012:
TradeID: 1344515801056587 Amount: 0.00000102 Price: 1000000000.00000 TimeStamp: 2012-08-09 12:36:41 Thats right, a $1 billion trade. This is messing up my number crunching. Questions: ... I'm assuming this is anomalous and can be deleted, why is it in MtGox's trade history if it isn't a valid trade? If its correct, how was it a valid trade? Why does this trade not show up on any of the charting sites? What happened that day?

It was a bug. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=99558.0 http://bitcoinmagazine.net/mt-gox-glitch-results-in-1000000000-high/ Title: Re: Anomalous $1bn trade on MtGox Post by: Seal on October 12, 2012, 11:20:56 PM I might ask someone from mtgox to have this removed as a bugged trade should not show up on their trade history...

maybe a trade from the future? Title: Re: Anomalous $1bn trade on MtGox Post by: ryann on October 15, 2012, 10:11:16 PM Considering that the entire 21 000 000 coins that arent even totally in existence yet isnt even worth $1 000 000 000 then its obviously an error of sorts.
