Issue noticed today:
1. I went Short at around 15:15 with +0.2% interest.
2. At 16:00 I was expecting to see positive interest on my coins but instead calculation was delayed and interest reversed!
3.
One and a half minute after 16:00 I was charged with -0.00833333 BTC instead of getting that much coins.
What is the point of showing interest when it calculates only at full hour and only if it suits you? You could show +100% interest rate and switch it
to negative later. Interest is practially a tax on our orders, calculated when and as you wish. I can't remember when it was last time I actualy made
money there! It seems that I'll go negative with interest regardless of if I'm positive or negative when it comes to money made off order itself.
Another thing:
You should clarify the way you are calculating price. As far as I tell, you are picking prices off MtGox, BTC-e and BitStamp, using not average prices
and some constant exchange weight but adjustable weight and Bid or Ask price as it suits you. Price can go down on all 3 exchanges but there is
no movement downward on 1Broker or it is noticably delayed, in a way that if all 3 exchanges go down a lot than you will drop your price eventualy
after 1 minute. Once you do that, it takes 1 Satoshi bought on BTC-e for you to rise your price by up to 0.5 BTC! Coupled with the fact that orders
are not closed when user decides so but on the next tick (which you control), and coupled with the fact I'm putting 20 BTC with leverage 5 in very
shaky price times, when wrong predicition can cost a lot in just few minutes, deciding when to close order is more complicated than opening it! "Will
I make 1 BTC or 0.5 BTC, or maybe I'll go negative (on top of already being negative because of ever hostile interest) let's see ... click!"
You might call it "risk management" or whatever but I call it
bullshit! Changing spread value on will, without any notice, is another "cool" feature.
ok if you have a bug.. why dont u just use support. instead of beeing so harsh on a public forum..
just to show people this is a good working service:
i made around +-5 btc in 1.5 day trading in very small trading channels (not the big rallies) and most of my trades took no longer then 30min->2hour..
i used the 15minute chart on clarke moody.. to base my trades on.
take in account that bitstamp reacts to mtgox a bit later so it makes sense that there's some delay on the price
so the super fast trading like on gox is not the way to go here.
support also has been wonderfull when i had some sms withdraw problems. they looked for the problem and made it work again.
interest rate: i think it's a very fair price +- 0.2% I dont understand why it changes in rate.. but it never seems to be an unfair rate at all..
I think interest is on the coins you are lending for your margin position. so it will always be a cost and thus taken from your wallet
1broker should make a simple tutorial or something.. it would help a lot.
