Title: MTGOX - something wrong here... Post by: Andrew Vorobyov on June 07, 2012, 09:32:34 PM Last 3 weeks MTGOX had $1.4M (bitcoincharts.com) weekly turnover during rising prices.. it means you can not buy, sell, then buy again - because you will lose money doing it...
It means most of this turnover was one way - Cash => BTC. There is small chance that this whole ~$4M was requested to be withdrawn immediately. So a LOT of this money stays on the account of MTGOX. But every other thread about MTGOX is - liquidity problems - people wait for transfers... so things does not add up... ~$4M on balance and no withdrawals. Some of them forced to buy BTC back on MTGOX and transfer it to another exchange, spurring BTC rate higher but not for a long time... finally they will need to sell it again.

No withdrwawals? There are lots of funds being withdrawn near the normal schedules. (SEPA withdrawals, 2-3 day, for instance, I'm told). But your general point makes sense.

You can, you will just lose money. There are people that lose money trading. Title: Re: MTGOX - something wrong here...
