btc.sx experience

[ledmaniak]

Are there people over here that trade in www.btc.sx?

It seems that the topic from the owners of the website is locked some time ago: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=188735.0
Is there a reason for that?

Any experience? Did some short trading yesterday but the their ticker seems to be lagging a lot. The MtGox ticker was showing $702 for like 15 minutes but the btc.sx ticker showed 708 and even went up to 710?!

At the moment it is not possible to do long trading due to funds limits on the website

Yes, topic did not go the way the owners would like to and they lock it. There is enough warning in that thread so I don't have to repeat myself.

For the benefit of anyone who happens to be considering using BTC.sx right now, today, here's a big red warning: I've just waited over 10 minutes watching a relatively small order display the message "Awaiting Fill...". By the end of that time, when the order finally executed, the market and -- more importantly -- the rest of a hedged position changed significantly. Once an order is stuck in "Awaiting Fill...", there is no way to cancel: you're stuck. I had not previously seen this "Awaiting Fill..." message, so I don't know whether it's a part of the site's recently upgraded functionality or whether it's been there all along.

Until this behaviour is rectified or at least disclosed by the site as a possible outcome of submitting an order, I cannot recommend it for any position that would rely on BTC.sx as part of a hedge.

Jep, I left btc.sx for the same reason.
