Title: MtGox feed and MtGox website display different BTC price (!) Post by: nereer on June 14, 2011, 10:07:52 AM I noticed this (and took the screenshots) last night, there was a period about 11.30 to at least 00:10 GMT last night, in which the price displayed by the MTGox feed was different from the price quoted on the website by up to +-$3/btc
I noticed the feed went down yesterday at about mid-afternoon so I wonder is this a technical fault. In any case it is really worrying. https://i.imgur.com/JJDa2.jpg Also, there were some huge price swings while this was happening. Are bots trading off the feed data? Could that explain this crazy swing: https://i.imgur.com/hG9ij.jpg Has anyone else noticed this? Can we get some comment from MtGox on this issue?

I think it is simply delay on websocket interface. I have no idea how many connection that websocket interface has, but I believe it can be in thousands.

I don't know whether your explanation for the fault is accurate. At least it didn't seem to me that it was a delay. I saw a half hour of the price being up to $3 more than the feed and then within minutes being $3 less (of a different price) - this six dollar swing was happening while the price was spiking on the feed (as shown in the image above). This is a pretty serious issue no matter what is causing it. And right now MtGox is down again. This really doesn't make one confident of trading there :( |
