I've been trading on forkdelta for some specific tokens and there's a lot of problems with order book bid price is higher than ask price when trying to sell on a bid price it says order has been filled, if order is filled why it's still in the order book and also the lower price orders filled rather than high price orders and order book not updated for hours even if trading pair is too active, i can't examine the real buy sell prices at forkdelta is there any solution for that or it'll goes like this.

That's how the forkdelta is working. You can put your token whatever how the price for each of your token. The floor price has already eliminated even since the dev made etherdelta. You can fill order even it's having the high price compared with some are putting the low order.
Idex is much better but you must do KYC for that. that's one disadvatages of fork and etherdelta. 

It's api issue, which even after improvement (https://github.com/forkdelta/backend-replacement/issues/80), hit or miss. Better trade there when you have no other choice left.

Do not be surprised if it happens like that. Indeed the order has been placed but has not been updated. You should refresh your browser frequently. And if this is your first time experiencing it, of course you will be upset and angry. That's like Forkdelta, I've experienced that a lot.

I want to correct you that you do not need to pass KYC in order to start trading on IDEX.

I have experienced something like that in forkdelta. Too many problems in forkdelta, now i am never use that exchange again.

   Unfortunately I participated in one bounty that paid me in their worthless tokens, BlueNote world if I remember correctly, that was last year.
Only place for trading with this token was ForkDelta. I saw that many coins there are without any volume, worthless alt-coins and tokens. I logged
out, and I never visited ForkDelta again. I didn`t sell this BlueNote tokens, I still have them, but they are worthless.

classic problem on Forkdelta , you must click spesific price that u want to buy or you want to sell , or it will pending
my suggest is dont sell there when u really no need for money

no wonder because the previous exchange etherdelta also experienced the same thing and of course it will be repeated, I would rather use another dex than forkdelta because it is not feasible to use, in my opinion this dex is more suitable for selling altcoin that does not have a market.

The problem that I have experienced, the slow change should be the purchase list has been lost, but the list is still stuck, which makes lazy to trade on forkdelta if there is a better exchange , better I go from this problem

I was just starting to think I was having this problem. Unupdated trade orders are becoming annoying. I've been using FD for a long time. In recent months, this problem has started to occur very often.

You can look at it as an exchange for low ballers of shitcoins. I saw some bid orders there which he can actually get about a million coins with 0.2 ETH, and this is because the token isn't listed anywhere than forkdelta. You have to pick a specific but or sell order to make a transaction, that's how p2p suppose to work and that means you have to choose the larger quantity else you would have make another transaction.

You should pay attention to your orders especially by the price and amount of tokens that you wish to buy or to sell. There is no real solution because forkdelta is a decentralised exchange without any real team that cares about it.

To be honest fork delta is still better, i do agree that it is sluggish and lagging often but it is way better than etherdelta which was like 10 times more slower and sluggish than forkdelta but with new generation of dexes i think forkdelta needs urgent upgrades and improvements if it wants to survive.

Personally, I think that the Forkdelta exchange is the easiest and most convenient to quickly sell tokens. Almost all tokens can be sold on this exchange. This is very convenient when you need to urgently sell tokens. Yes, it always turns out a small price. Well, what to do as it is. I always recommend this simple exchange. I wish you all good luck in sales.

Fork and etherdelta are the last resort of every seller of tokens.
If you have any choice why going there? most tokens there are dumped or no other exchanges.
I agree, better use IDEX but i am not okay with their new rules of having KYC!

Forkdelta has a slow refresh rate, which is why you can sometimes see higher bid prices than ask prices. Obviously if the bid price was higher than the ask price it would have been automatically filled.

This is why you stay away from trash exchanges like Forkdelta and move to ones that actually update the orders in real time. Even IDEX isn't as slow as FD.

welcome to forkdelta,
when the stupid things like that is a some common thing.
let me tell u first, ether/forkdelta is the first decentralized exchange for ether token.
and as far i see, its never get good improvement.
well sometimes it can be a treasure.

It's obviously ridiculous, Dex exchanges usually have this kind of traits when it comes to oder book. Large gap between buy order and sell order usually comes from tokens with less volume or none at all so do not be surprised about it.

i have also experienced the same thing as you, at first i was a little confused. the offer price listed is quite high, but i cannot sell it and the reason is exactly as you said the order has been filled.

i don't like it, they look like they are cheating me. but i think, maybe this is just a problem on the forkdelta network.

Yeah, there ridiculous order books that we can find almost in every coin listed on that exchange. However, sometimes, they are not working at all. In this case, Forkdelta is popular with the high volume an also lower prices than other exchanges. However, one to remember is that there are many fake coins, that is why we must be careful in selecting and buying the coins. see and analyze their smart contract before buying those fake coins

so, when you want to sell at a high price, you can place it in the upper order or the red one. but if you put it up there, it will take a long time to sell. well, that way you can sell at a price that is already installed, although usually lower than we want, which is green. yes, i think that's what forkdelta is.

That's needs to be avoided, there's  a lots of scam projects that you need to know deeper before you engage yourself and buy especially if the token is not yet been available to other exchangers, chance that you'll be trapped up as the fake volume can be remove right after you bought the coin, you need to check every information to avoid losing your money.

Forkdelta can be an advantage if happened that you bought from the dumpers and able to sell it up with much higher value, some bounty hunters choose this platform to liquidate their tokens in anyhow, if you find project with real team behind then expect  to receive good outcome with your investment.

it's natural in my opinion, because the forkdelta has also provided information at the bottom, that the order book update is taking a long time, so expect to be patient,
and we can't do anything, because the owner of the forkdelta also said that and didn't mind it.

No they dont support all kinds of cryptos but fd mostly supports tokens that are erc20 or the coins that you mostly recieve on your bounty  . this why you think fd supoorts all coin but to some that are regular traders they mostly buy top alts and btc which couldnt be found on a decentralized exchange like fd .

Yes thats the best solution you have  but you can also wait and check for your coins update if they will be listed on other exchanges or not  .  some coins works slowly in terms of getting listed to a better exchange sites but its also worth the wait as long as they are commited on their plans or promise .

Indeed, the problem experienced by DEX exchangers is that the gap is too wide between sell orders and buy orders. This may be because the transaction volume is not too large and this is different from tokens that have large transaction volumes because usually the gap between buy or sell orders is very small

Unfortunately, this is how ForkDelta works. I also do not like that orders that have been executed for a long time hang. And they also prevent me from determining at what price to place orders. However, I found a way out, I study the history of transactions and compare them with orders in columns, so it is possible to calculate which order is executed and which is not.

Forkdelta definitely needs a revamp, sometimes traded orders remain on the order book for 10-15 hours without any update;

it really makes a DEX look bad & amateurish when an executed blockchain transaction cannot be reflected on the orderbook in a timely fashion...

Forkdelta is a big joke for an exchange to me. I can't remember the last time I used that dex for my trades. But I must confess, I made my first cash out on forkdelta but that won'take me to rate it any good. One has to be careful trading there. A friend lost a lot while trading due to this same order book confusions.

ForkDelta is a very buggy exchange and I hate trading on it. I use it in trading only when I need to buy or sell a token that has not yet been placed on other exchanges.

Hey everyone,


thanks for candid feedback. I'm continuously working to rectify the backend. In the meanwhile, if you find stale orders, drop a line on TG at @ForkDeltaChat.

The problem that often occurs in DEX exchangers is the large gap between bid and ask orders. This rarely happens in centralized exchangers because centralized exchangers may have more transaction value than DEX. I think the solution is to increase transactions on DEX so that the gap between bid and ask orders can narrow

I also noticed at Forkdelta such moments when a sales order cannot be completed because the order is no longer there. Indeed, this is very bad, especially for those who are new to and do not know such nuances. I think this is a problem with the Forkdelta website script itself. This is one of the features of this trading platform. Only administrators can solve this problem, and you and I just need to look at the history of purchases and sales and look for similar applications there. This is the only way to find out the working order for buying or selling tokens.

I also have same experience and the most annoying thing is that you never know about that until you deposit your coins for a fee and then try to trade. That is why I am not trading on ForkDelta and EtherDelta.

i have never experienced that, but there are a number of my friends who have experienced the same thing as you. that is very frustrating, but forkdelta is still reliable because some new tokens are only registered there. we just need to be patient and if you want to trade there, my advice is that you should first look at trading history.

Forkdelta is the most simple and the easiest trading platform without any features at all. One time I have switched the price and the order amount and paid 0,5 ETH for several tokens that were worth 0,0005 USD. Science that moment, I have learned how to trade on Delta.

On forkdelta, It takes a very long while before the order book gets updated, I have no idea as to why that is so, but my believe is that if it is an automated trading exchange then it should always update instataneously.

It's a hilarious and yet an annoying experience. You have to be patient with Forkdelta since it's order book always gets updated late. The best you can do to save yourself the stress is instead of market buying, set your comfortable order and hope it fills by the time your check back. By the way, you can try IDEX too, it's a better Dex

It also happened to me, I kept selling the token i am holding but it shows same as yours.
This is why FORKDELTA is my last resort. Even you are on the cheapest price selling the token the buyer will buy the higher price.
It's not a surprise! some project do it to their tokens to pull the price.

Forkdelta exchange's API is very slow. It takes 24 hours or more to update the order books. I don't think this is an issue, every forkdelta users know it well! I was a regular trader there but right now forkdelta has a very few numbers of trader! You may try Etherdelta, Tokenstore decentralized exchanges if you feel not good in forkdelta!

forkdelta and etherdelta are indeed slow in renewing buy or sell orders, I don't really mind this because trading in forkdelta is known as the last choice place for token holders to sell tokens because there are no other DEX, generally people use forkdelta to buy tokens at prices that are  the cheapest with other markets.

This problem is connected with the fact that people place several orders at different prices for the same coins and when someone buys one of the orders, the others continue to hang on their due date. Forkdelta cannot solve this problem, so you have to check all orders manually.

This happens in forkdelta you have to refresh the browser and they have slow system in terms of buying and selling orders. Those user of forkdelta experience this kind of issue when bidding on selling of tokens. Might as well use other exchange that suits your expectation.

Yes I agree that forkdelta can be ridiculously slow at clearing orders that have already being completed. Howver, similarly it happens on Idex too. And also, since when did Idex start requesting for kyc? That's just crazy. IDex used to be a favourite exchange for me. When did the kyc craze engulf them too?

Forkdelta is a very interesting exchange where you can practically sell any token. But the truth is at a lower price than on other exchanges. And it’s very good when you have to sell and get at least some kind of income from the sale of tokens. And the Forkdelt exchange always gives you the opportunity to sell any token.

I found this very disturbing whenever am trading any particular token on forkdelta. I will be surprised to see most of the order books on bid price has been picked and when trying to pick them, the error message is order has been filled, at some point in time I have to complain on their telegram group. I hope they will do something about it because traders are really complaining about it

ForkDelta has a number of drawbacks and these drawbacks you just need to consider and be able to use the exchange further. Perhaps for analyzing the token trading on ForkDelta it is better to look at the trading history, see how often transactions are made and what is the average purchase/sale price. This will help you determine the supply and demand of the coin that interests you. In general, the main advantage of this exchange is decentralization and the absence of any limits.

Same problem is in the Etherdelta as forkdelta. Idex exchange is the best, between all decentralized exchange. This problem is for expires time or could be another. Another problem, forkdelta exchange is very slow and very low privacy.

As always, this is the right thing to said about that FORKDELTA and even before with ETHERDELTA!
I hope there will be changes on their system so there will be no random buy and sell on exchange.
Lowest must go first!

It takes me and my laughter. The order of the trade is automatically canceled. I was surprised. And I also got a smile. I got the trade cancellation.I think their system should be updated. There is no peace by trade.

Forkdelta is such a funny exchange, it is quite difficult for a newbie to understand all these discrepancies with the exchange. Sometimes it appears like a bug. The only interesting thing about it is that one can trade at a reasonable low adjusted fee and as well take small trades of a little amount unlike idex that has a very high trade minimum for taker and maker.

I often experience it even reloading it in a gap of more than 5 hours is also not lost from the order book, hoping that the system is updated so that it does not happen again.

Forkdelta is quite ridiculous to trade with as a Newbie, once I open it, I get confused immediately, the layout is pretty not encouraging and sometimes it appears like a bug. Though I learnt the fees are considerably less

Forkdelta is a decentralised exchange and anybody can set any price they feel comfortable with, if it's a great if token, you will see very good prices for large quantities but if it's a shitcoin without liquidity, you are likely to see the kind of discrepancy that you mentioned.

that is, the seller is free to put any price on the token he/she will sell. Buyers can put prices as low as possible. Usually less valuable tokens are traded there lately. That is the fact, the gap is too high. Forkdelta performance is like that, the API is low.

As much as we have been creaming Decentralisation and Blockchian technology, the sad fact is that decentralised exchanges which embodies the true definition of Decentralisation has very little volume and in most cases, their volume isn't even tracked in Cryptocurrency Price tracking websites.

I have been using FD for more than a year but everything went smooth, only it sometimes we experience some delays to upload but it won't take too long to wait.
@OP I could think that there might have a problem with browser and I suggest tried to use other browser or refresh it.
