^ when it crosses above or below the number of double whoppers a bitcoin can buy then the signal is confirmed.

At some point there's going to be this giant green candle and some walls to piss off bears.

Well this is moving much faster than I expected...

Its most likely going down in a series of waves like in june and this was the first or second one. If you want an aggressive strategy to try to catch the bottom, just buy and sell every 4 hour macd cross. Eventually one of them will be the bottom. If you want less involvement and less profit, use the 1 day macd. Or if you just want a one shot one kill approach with the least amount of profit, use the 1 week macd.

Every bitcoin post-rally has a slow final downwave that involves a 1 week MACD cross. It doesn't really need to be news-based.

That 10,000 order was there for like an HOUR or TWO before it really started causing damage and the whole time people on the forum were talking about it. If only they had noticed it, they could have prevented the whole thing.

Based on the recent bounces,

Mtgox: Higher volume than normal.
Bitstamp: Normal volume.
Btce: Lower than normal volume.
Huobi: MUCH lower than normal volume.

Cool. What do you have to do to be a whale client? Trading and incessently staring at charts all day has been destroying my life.

I dont think that his original concern had to do with making profits from the abnormality. I think I kind of get where he is coming from.

Consider somehow who just wants to sell their LTC. Not someone who made a profit from the rat (like me), but someone saw LTC was about to crash and just wanted to sell their LTC, at any price. It didn't have to be the abnormal 22, it could be the normal 21. But then LTC crashes to 19. Now instead of having sold his litecoins at 22 or even 21, he now holds LTC valued at 19. Thus, he is at a loss from where he'd be if things were running as normal and the service was accessible.

Question: If you get a margin call on your trading wallet, but you have funds in your exchange wallet, will funds get pulled from your exchange wallet into your trading wallet, or will you get liquidated?

I ask because during slow markets, I primarily trade using exchange wallet rather than trading wallet, so that I don't get charged lending fees. But I still have a bunch of leveraged orders on my trading wallet at incremental low prices in case of flashcrashes and I really don't want to bother having to cancel them all whenever I want to trade on exchange and re-place them whenever I'm done trading on exchange. However, today with that bug two of my outermost flashcrash orders got hit while I had nearly no funds in my trading wallet and it was really a wakeup call. I had 0.8btc in my trading account and I bought 5 btc at 690.1 and 5btc at 680.1. lol. Luckily the price didn't go any further.

In the case that the wallet would be liquidated, I will have to adjust my strategy so that I primarily do trading on the trading wallet and in times when I want to be "in fiat" I will hold a balance of bitcoins but "short" the balance and have an open short position with an equal amount of bitcoins.

It's not just about existing users but potential users. The more difficult things are, the less new users there will be. It's going to be a little harder to indoctrinate your friend or relative into using bitcoin if you tell them that they have to get a different phone also.

I was thinking of U.S.

Because mobile devices are the typical wallet for an everyday bitcoin end user visiting his local merchants in a widespread adoption scenario and apple is a huge portion of mobile devices. Using the blockchain app with the clean interface and the QR scanner is very fun and apple just took that fun away for half of bitcoin users on mobile devices. It also reduces exposure and attaches a negative stigma.

hmm how about some staff to manage one of the largest financial centers of bitcoin and the hundreds of millions of dollars of assets. Even mtgox has staff.

This is why I never use their trigger orders.

I don't see a reason why trading would suddenly move back to btcchina if all the of the volume is already at Huobi - what would cause that mass movement to happen? Huobi even has 0% fees. Yes btcchina has the maker taker program but 0 fees is better and maker taker and is a pain in the ass to use unless you're using a bot to beat all the other bots using it. BtcChina also has negative stigma now about being unreliable and having an owner going back and forth with wanton decisions.

Neither of the exchanges were ever shut down - only affected by the decisions of their operators to enable/disable deposit methods. Now if the PBOC or chinese government actually comes out and shuts down corporate bank accounts doing btc business then it will likely affect both exchanges at the same time.

The news sounds very to the point in trader terms. It almost sounds as if it is from somebody at this forum.

Deposits at btcchina aren't adding anything new. Chinese already had the ability to deposit via Huobi. Most likely almost nobody deposits to btcchina because the liquidity (volume) is at huobi now.

Or Chinese use the opportunity to cash out, and it breaks downwards.
