Title: Bitstamp: what are these crazy price spikes?
Post by: keatonatron on April 29, 2013, 04:05:51 AM
Hey everyone,

On bitcoincharts there have been a few dramatic price spikes shown for bitstampusd. I first noticed it last night, where the price went from $133 to $129 and back again within a minute. A little later it did it again, and then it went from $135 to $141 and back again before dropping to $130 and coming back.

Is the price actually moving that much during these spikes, or it is a bug?  I have a standing order to buy at $131, but just a few minutes ago the price dropped to $130 and came back and my order wasn't filled. I have a friend who said the same thing, about their order not being filled when bitcoincharts said the price moved past their price point and came back.
