Bitcoin Forum

Last night I put in two orders.  The first was an ask at $17.81 the second was a buy at $14.61.  Overnight the price swing was between $14.00 and $18.00 but neither of my orders executed.  Has anyone else experienced this on MtGox? 

I try to GOX my GOX when GOXing, but damned if the GOX doesn't GOX me up every GOXing time.

You know? If only there was a GOXing GOX way to GOX, then I would be able to GOX it out. If you could just GOX it up sometimes, I think we'd all GOX you, just out of respect.

Feel free to GOX, but if we continue to GOX and GOX while the GOX isn't GOXed, then we'll all suffer the same GOX.

GOX to you,

GOXing GOXer

There is a glitch that shows two blips at $15 and $18. Prices never actually reached these levels. It seems to be some type of error.

Thanks Holliday.  

Trader?  You ok man?  You seem a little, er, GOXed.

Seriously though, doesn't Mt.Gox have support forums?

Why bother posting it here, then?

Maybe because you don't get any communication from Mt. Gox whatsoever!

And how many people on this forum have admin capability to do anything about a Mt.Gox issue? Oh yeah, one guy, who actually runs the exchange has an account here. But he's also the contact in his OWN SUPPORT FORUM.

Tell me how spamming here helps again?

This forum is considerably more active and has recently seen a lot of discussion about MtGox.  I emailed MtGox support directly about the failed execution and received an auto-reply to expect an answer in 48-72 hours.  In the meantime I was curious to know if others had experienced the same.  My search through the forum turned up no results so I posted a new thread.  Another user helpfully pointed me to the thread where people are discussing this very topic.  Since the thread title was unrelated to my question I had not checked there prior to my post.

I hope this answers your question.  If this topic isn't of interest to you, "why bother posting here, then?"

It seems trader has an acute case of goxessive neurogoxtisism disordex.    :D

Okay, +1 for effort and being able to coherently respond. You'll have to understand, this main discussion forum has been overrun lately with complete idiots. I'm glad you aren't one, but I still don't see how communal confirmation of an error that can't be corrected by anyone here other than the exchange sysop is going to help.

If it is merely comforting that other people share your pain, then so be it, I was looking for more beyond that, personally.

Yes, I've experienced the same thing, but not only during the 15/18 swing. I made orders that the market went past multiple times, while they were active. MagicalTux, in IRC, seemed to think that he knew the source of the problem and that was good enough for me.

If you're having this problem, I've figured out that sometimes active orders won't hit until you cancel ALL orders and resubmit them.

I wonder if this is related to the bug that doubles selling orders (If I sell 10 BTC at $18, I get either two orders for 10 BTC or one 20 BTC order). It's gotten to the point that I halve what I'm trying to sell.
