Bit annoyed with BFX. I had a limit order at 529 that went unfilled on the spike down to 514 on Bitstamp.
The BFX service discussion thread says that this is because market orders on BSP are not made available to the BFX order book. Only market orders on BFX are made available to BSP.
I'm not convinced this is the reason (although I have to admit it has been a long time since I have seen one of my limit orders execute on BSP). It might be another step to "protect the lenders" on BFX along with dropping max leverage to 1:2.5
There was no Bitstamp liquidity at this time. Traders going long took all USD reserves attempting to take down that 10k wall. Then access to Bitstamp was cut off.
What pisses me off is that Bitfinex cuts off access to BTC reserves at that time. Instead of allowing traders to help them re-balance their reserves, they cut off Bitstamp entirely and leave us with a paper thin order book.
That makes much more sense. Going to have to think through the various permutations.
And I got filled at 529 so not complaining.
