Mt Gox trade channel message repeats

[thezerg]

I'm trying to chase down an issue in the mt gox streaming API (or my code) where I see double transactions.  These seem to happen during big buys or dumps but not during normal processing.  Anyone else seen this?

To debug this, I threw in some code that eliminates trades with the same 'tid'.  However, I started seeing repeated transactions across different currencies like this:

{'origin': 'broadcast', 'trade': {'price_currency': 'USD', 'trade_type': 'bid', 'price_int': '1424999', 'price': 14.24999, 'primary': 'N', 'item': 'BTC', 'amount': 29.0911, 'tid': '1358271672595895', 'amount_int': '2909110000', 'date': 1358271672.0, 'type': 'trade', 'properties': 'market,mixed_currency'}, 'private': 'trade', 'channel': 'dbf1dee9-4f2e-4a08-8cb7-748919a71b21', 'op': 'private'}

{'origin': 'broadcast', 'trade': {'price_currency': 'EUR', 'trade_type': 'bid', 'price_int': '1094838', 'price': 10.94838, 'primary': 'Y', 'item': 'BTC', 'amount': 29.0911, 'tid': '1358271672595895', 'amount_int': '2909110000', 'date': 1358271672.0, 'type': 'trade', 'properties': 'market,mixed_currency'}, 'private': 'trade', 'channel': 'dbf1dee9-4f2e-4a08-8cb7-748919a71b21', 'op': 'private'}

Are these both valid (as the same trade) and indicative of some kind of automatic currency translation that Mt. Gox is doing?

Thanks!

Both entries are actually the same trade, as seen from different currencies. This happens when an order hits an open order in another currency. Those trades have the "mixed_currency" flag set.

You can use the "primary" field to differentiate them.
