Title: WTF Gox Ticker? Post by: bitfon on June 28, 2011, 08:33:31 PM The ticker has been showing an ask of 15.1001 for the last 5 minutes, but the order book shows lowest ask of 17+
WTF? Title: Re: WTF Gox Ticker? Post by: bitfon on June 28, 2011, 08:38:54 PM Title: Re: WTF Gox Ticker? Post by: dazedtrader on June 28, 2011, 08:56:27 PM Free bitcoins! What are the chances that loads of people will exploit it, and they'll end up doing another rollback :)
Title: Re: WTF Gox Ticker? Post by: bitfon on June 28, 2011, 09:07:15 PM Believe me, I tried to get some discounted btc.
Seemed like a great opportunity to arb against Tradehill, but that doesn't work so well when the Tradehill sale executes but the Gox buy doesn't. Title: Re: WTF Gox Ticker? Post by: bitfon on June 28, 2011, 09:08:51 PM Still broken now, 40 min later.

Also, all trading sites I tried show wrong bid/ask, so the API is broken too. EDIT: probably the ticker on the trade page is based on the API too. Title: Re: WTF Gox Ticker? Post by: dazedtrader on June 28, 2011, 09:26:06 PM Presumably this has happened because the order book has stopped reconciling, but they carried on taking orders. So the question is - when it starts working, how are they going to match up all the overlaps fairly?

Title: Re: WTF Gox Ticker? Post by: irb on June 28, 2011, 11:34:37 PM Volume, presumably. Title: Re: WTF Gox Ticker? Post by: bitfon on June 29, 2011, 12:38:33 AM How is it that bids are sometimes greater than asks on Mt. Gox?
Here's from the orderbook api 5 minutes ago. See how the highest bid is greater than the three lowest asks? How can this happen? bid/ask price quantity ------- --------- ----------- bid 16.839 33.3125 bid 16.87 0.16 bid 16.9211 5.94033484 ask 16.91 0.32 ask 16.92045 1.9435 ask 16.92109 9.59792994 ask 16.92839 0.2 Title: Re: WTF Gox Ticker? Post by: bitfon on June 29, 2011, 12:46:10 AM It's not just a flakey API either. Here's the Mt. Gox UI, offering to sell coins for more than the cost to buy them.
Unfortunately those trades never execute. https://i.imgur.com/a4doL.png Title: Re: WTF Gox Ticker? Post by: GimEEE on July 02, 2011, 05:50:48 PM Why do people still use MtGox? Memory of a gold fish? It gives me decent numbers to quote from.But as the quote system is buggy, I'll be damned to actually trust the trade system. Title: Re: WTF Gox Ticker? Post by: marvinmartian on July 02, 2011, 07:23:28 PM Unfortunately those trades never execute. Confirmed, my trades aren't go through either. But, just like mining, it's not very hard to send your BTC to another exchange and fire off trades pretty much instantly. I just sent all my "sell for the day" coins from gox to TH and it took about 15-20 min to get there, about 2 seconds to sell them. |
