Was at 7 minutes, now 9.
I saw it as low as 6 a few minutes ago. Either they are having hardware trouble, or else a bunch more people (or bots?) are piling on with more new orders.
Does this actually delay the price quotes or is it just related to time a trade takes to settle to a traders account? If prices are off by that time lag then it would be impossible to do any trading.
Its the order matching engine.
Such amateur service Indeed.. Im really impressed so many user still trade on Gox ! They make 10k$+ a day, and are not able to get a better setup to cope with heavy traffic !!! I've moved on alternatives trading service a while ago, and do not regret at all.. Dont miss those lag and those unavaillability..
Remember, in a day like the 170k+ volume, they make more than 60 000 $ profit, for 24 hour ! And are still on cheap hardware / connection ! What a lame !
AFAIK they still dont have stop-lost order ! I'm mystified !!!
Just move your trading on some alternative trading service, some are much better ! Just try, you may never come back to Gox !
