Now a smaller sell is there. Is this also a phantom move or is this someone reacting poorly to a phantom move. Real traders in real markets dont need to waste their time with stupid questions like this.

I just watched a 40kish sell. Now it no longer on the charts. I dashed to mtgox to try and put an order in at a price that apparently never happened. Gox is a joke.

Is 10% a big deal in this case?
########## - normal price
######### - sale price
##### - 2 for the price of 1
When you're buying something 100$ that's $10 off. Not bad. Also many individual sellers are offering additional sales (some 2 for 1) and free samples for shipping price only. That said I still think it will do little to affect Bitcoin At the very least I am interested in how big of an effect it will have. Did SR announce this sale early enough for users to get money to the exchanges? |

THis has happened in the past where MtGox auto-halts trading in the event of a large market movement to avoid a repeat of what happened last June.
I watched the whole thing live. I was seeing the spike in mtgoxlive, tried to get better positions in my mtgox account. then mtgox went down, and I was like blind. I wasnt sure the last data I had seen in goxlive was accurate, and mtgox itself didnt show it correctly. then, when mtgoxlive came back, I saw the spike to 6.20, which gradually was removed from goxlive(for a short time the high dropped down to 5.74, the spike was purged from the price history. While I acknowledge mtgox taking security measures to prevent loss, this situation is kind of hard for users. I mean, you sit ducks there, being blind during a major market event. But I wont blame gox this time. Ive seen it handfuls of times before as well. I blame MtGox 100% |

Why the pessimism?  This.... ...means that everyone is optimistic. That is not the reason everyone is pessimistic. All it means is that some at Bitcoinica are overly optimistic |

Rally stalled just over $6, and very little panic buying seen. Skeptical bulls are skeptical; perhaps most or all the irrational bulls got completely wiped out on bitcoinica in the Great Purge of January 17th? No starfish, either.
Seems to be consolidating in the top 20% of the big candle up... doesnt look like it stalled to me. |

http://vimeo.com/35369616around 8-9 minutes they are talking about the bank bailouts and high leverage. I am so glad that in Bitcoin the losers dont get bailed out. Free market = survival of the fittest.

Three words perfectly describe Bitcoin poker.
LEGAL TEAM ENEMA
FYP Are there some new Bitcoin regulations that have been written and signed into law in the past week or so? Otherwise Btc != money and current regulations dont matter. while that is true, the IRS and any other revenue service with half a brain will be all over any site that opens up that many ways to launder money. look at FullTilt having been closed down. And they didnt even TOUCH bitcoin. This was only possible due to the site being a .com right? |

On Bitcoinica, you can even buy Bitcoins using Bitcoins as margin. So you can be a bull while you are a bull.
So leverage up! TIME TO BUY BUY BUY!

 EDIT: pps bear market signalled by the Chaikin Money Flow going negative for the first time since early December, and a huge crash (+/- crossover) in the Chaikin Oscillator (momentum of the Accumulation/Distribution Line) these past 2-3 days. i think we are ...sslipping into pessimisssm... or are we still in denial that our own rampant speculation caused the volatility? bear market ahead, folks Ive been pessimistic. BTC trading services suck. |

Did you produce that chart showing historical success of your plan?
If so, how?
Yes, It is using NinjaTrader - an excellent automated and discretionary trading platform. Basically you program a strategy (or use their easy-coding utility) and backtest the strategy on historical data. If you're interested in testing your ideas and automated trading, I highly recommend you learn about the platform. www.ninjatrader.comFeel free to ask me any questions about it if you're interested. Im trying to sign up but it says I need a broker... Can I not just try this out? I dont have a broker. Also less important / off topic: why do people need brokers? Why cant they just connect to the exchange and make trades like we all do to Gox? I tried to download but it says I need Windows 7 or whatever version they are at now. I had to use a Windows computer for a presentation and had no idea what I was looking at. I think I will stick with R for backtesting. It is open-source and is a powerful statistical tool. I don't have to worry about faulty statistical methods in R. There is even a package that allows trading through Interactive Brokers. Ill check this out too Thanks EDIT WTF is that... is a programming language that is used by most statisticians today. Even if you don't know how to program you can use the tools available to analyze data. There are some versions with GUI but I prefer working in the global environment. Im a bit embarrassed. I consider my self a programmer... I guess its all the math and statistical equations that look scary. |

Great. Thank you. Could I potentially use this free software forever if all I ever wanted to do was backtest on imported historical data?
