JP Bitcoinica capping price; demoralization tactics. Probably to be followed by a push down, scaring or forcing poorly-positioned leverage players out.

Why is there only 10k on the buy side? Where is all of the natural sell side? Someone shopped this and did it that badly?

To their credit, the Bitcoinica order book is relatively new and probably far from perfect.

If MtGox bids moves that high, Bitcoinica will begin to selling into those bids 50 BTC at a time until they are gone.

So is it possible to suddenly buy mt gox asks out to, lets say, $5 then force the bitcoinica asks to pay 5$ each?

If you buy up to $5, you might get bids that high and then the Bitcoinica sellers will get more USD for their BTC.

We don't have a mechanism of removing unfunded orders at the moment, because in our system, we only process the order when the price reaches the trigger, including the margin assessment.

We didn't previously open our order book to the public so that was not part of our consideration. It's not a bug, but it does affect the usefulness of the data.

Currently we're in a process of rewriting our matching algorithm to make everything faster and more sensible. We admit that our current algorithm isn't that suitable for a large-scale trading platform like what we are now. It was designed for thousands of dollars of trade per day.

Limit orders only. This is not a reference for real market liquidity as margin assessment has not been performed.
