How long does it take for an order to complete?

I believe Bittrex has high active traders and you must have set an order limit which means your order will be filled when the condition for the order limit is met. In case you want to sell and want your order to be filled immediately on high liquidity platform, you will need to set this to market order and it will be completed at current price. however, in some low liquidity exchange platform, you will have to wait for buy order volume to be high enough above the sell order

Sometime it depends on traders interests rather than volume. Although bittrex current volume is well enough but IMO binance or KuCoin have most active traders now. 2/3 years earlier bittrex was one of the popular trading destination for traders but most probably due to their late and lengthy support system many traders changed their mind and move to other exchanges. As far as i know they launched their mobile apps where modern age traders undoubtedly like to continue their trading by mobile apps.

Maybe they will find out all their weaker point and resolve all the issue which may add some pace on their business growth.

Since the trend of exchange native tokens bittrex has lost its popularity because people started going to binance due to the transaction fee reason. Most of the traders want to save satoshis. If they can pay BNB for the transaction fee and keep the satoshis instead the better for the traders.

For OP, I think you should just pick an order, market order to fill it all. At least you can just set a sell order for the next spike.

I am trading quite a lot at Binance and my orders are filled quite quickly and I understand the queue thing that others who placed their orders will get it filled first and rightly so but I mean the orders are filled pretty quickly and I never tried to understand how deep I am in the queue. I am doing isolated margin at Binance and they offer 10x leverage which feels great.

I have some bad experience on Bittrex and I know they are legit but sometimes they are too rigid on their terms and that hurts users like me when we are stuck with a minor problem, Bittrex are not flexible enough to help me out and hence I have now switched to binance since a few months and more and feeling really good here.

It should be damning for exchanges to have long order processing times. This is the trading business and orders can't wait for long before they become invalided by strategies due to price changes.

All exchanges should have at most a delay of a few minutes. I wouldn't use an exchange where orders take longer than that, then scalping and day trading become impossible.

Thing is, the coin is moving up and down 1 satoshi all day long for 7 days and I'm not getting my order completed..

If the whole lot gets finished and your order is not executed then this is a terrible sign for any exchange because when there is no slab left for the order then how is your trade not happening.

There are times when you might be too down the queue and there are more orders filled before the slab gets empty. You might want to cancel the order and place a new one to check if there is a glitch or you were just too way down in the queue.

I don't think there is actually any way to know how long the queue is in front of your order but generally you can see the volume like at 5 satoshi the volume was 4 btc and then you placed the order so once it get's below 4 you should have the trade filled.

Hey guys.

I placed a order on an altcoin 7 days ago.
Is there no way to see how far in the queue I am? Like seeing if I'm getting my order completed soon besides from % filled?
This is on Bittrex.
Thing is, the coin is moving up and down 1 satoshi all day long for 7 days and I'm not getting my order completed..
I want to buy on 0,0000011 satoshi..and it goes from 11-12 all the time..

So basically..is there some sort of way to see kinda how far away it is for my trade to go in?

Sorry for bad english.

You can check back your buy order and tried to increase it a little bit high. One reason why it never filled up to this time is might your buying order is low than the others. By setting it up high, it could for sure it will be filled for just a few minutes. You don't just be confident enough that after having the buy or sell order could be that filled right by then, it sometimes takes long more than you expected. Constant checking at your order will help you realize where you need to improve and see's actually the trend is highly recommended than to have complaints of not getting filled.

I always find the situation especially when I buy a low value of the coin. Although the price order is achieved as an example I placed an order at the price of $0.1 when the price reach that price my order still not filled. Yeah I just confused at that time but when the price goes below $0.1 my order will be filled 100%. So, this has happened to your order, you will see your withdraw completed when the price goes below to the price that you put. It will be happened when you will sell the coin, for example you will sell the coin at $0.1 then you have to wait until the price touch $0.2 and it's always annoying when you are trading.

It means you placed order on a coin which doesn't have enough trading volume, normally it won't even take minutes to complete order whe you are exactly buying for the current trading or selling price but if there are more trading orders with the same number then it take minutes or barely an hour, only you need to wait if you set the price too low from the current selling price.

Tend to agree, the problem maybe on the bulk of orders also that is why he is in lined up to the least buyer, and for sure every second the volume depends on the numbers. Is it really possible that it could take up to 7 days to receive the order? or the possible thing he could least do is to cancel the order and make a new order change the amount?

This might the problem of exchange that has a low liquidity. That's why they will used Binance exchange because of the high liquidity and trading volume was also high. Sometimes, it mad me pissed of then the bot over place your bid autonatically.

That is why patience is very important in trading. Nothing to expect for an instant, it all comes for a moment and might sometimes surprise you. What you've said are right, it all matters the set price. We don't expect that buyers will sell their coins to us if our buying order is smaller than the other who did the buy order also, of course, they choose those who have a high offer.

This is what it happens to OP and I urge him to give time looking at the market or spare more patient until the buy/sell order will be filled soon.

With trading it is all about the market order, limit order to the liquidity and volume of the particular coins pair. With low liquidity coins even if you go with the market order you need to have patience, because it won't be completed immediately. It takes time, apart from this is the same price quoting. If few of the traders have quoted the same price, you'll be qued and the trade gets executed when the market price is reached

[crwth]

If the trading volume of the coin is not that great, it would be hard for your order to get filled. Just like what others says, be patient.

For example:

Your order is on the 11 sats with 500K sats volume. But the total volume on the 11 sats order, let's say, is 10 million sats.

So if order on 11 sats has been only 4 million sats and your still remaining on that 6 million sats, it wouldn't push through yet.

Since your order is on the limit, I still think that the volume is significant with what you are trading.

I hope it made sense in some way, and this might be a good realization for you to find a trading pair that has a larger volume. 

[MCobian]

To complete your trading order depending on the order book. Pay attention to the sale coins order if the lowest price is far above
11 satoshi, it will take time for your order to be complete. Especially if the coins you want to buy are low in volume, it will make
your orders become complete over time. My advice is that you don't buy on a limit order, but choose a market order so that your
transaction can complete instantly.

Thing is, the coin is moving up and down 1 satoshi all day long for 7 days and I'm not getting my order completed..
I want to buy on 0,0000011 satoshi..and it goes from 11-12 all the time..

So basically..is there some sort of way to see kinda how far away it is for my trade to go in?

It seems like there were a lot of orders on 11 satoshis. And if it goes between 11-12 satoshis everytime, you have to wait much more longer because not everyone are willing to sell it for 11 satoshis.

Consider the volume, if there is a massive volume for 11 satoshis, then you might expect that some later time, your order will be finally completed. It is just as simple as that, if many traders placed their orders before you, then you are at the back of the line, waiting for your turn. If you want it to buy faster, buy it on 12 sats, but that can't make you profit for a while. It could also be your loss.
