Anyone else having issue with most prices not updating for few hours now? Access and transaction logs are fine but all prices except BTC/USD and
Stocks are stucked, last update for them was at 11:35:58 GMT +1 (more than 3 hours ago).

Sorry, both price servers went down overnight.

As always all losses caused by the outage can be refunded. Just contact our support.

you guys should work hard on the stoploss because you could loose a chance to gain new costumers, because some people aren't satisfied with Bitfinex at the moment

I have to approve BitcoinMegastore, a Stop-Loss and a Take-Profit is MANDATORY if you're running a service like this. All serious brokers have this feature! OANDA offers it in their web interface, FXCM with their Software "TradingStation", too. If you open an order, you're able to define when it's closed.

If my trade is running in + but hasn't reached the point where it will be closed by the system, i usually pull the Stop-Loss a bit into the + area. In case the trade turns against my prediction, i still make a small profit!

So the Take-Profit and Stop-Loss needs to be adjustable!

For me with a few years of trading experience it is OK to loose 'cause i made a bad decision. But it is not OK to loose 'cause of a service that doesn't offer necessary features or has technical issues!

Would you be interested in adding yet another type of order, that would work like explained bellow?

1. User enters the market immidiately at some price but then his or her order closes automatically if price:

a. drops to some user defined price or
b. rises to some user defined price.

E.g. I enter BTC/USD immidiatelly at $100 and set low threshold at $98 and high threshold at $110 then log off. If one of conditions are meet then
engine closes the order.

I'm having hard time wasting hours watching price oscilations. It is nerves-losing job as well. On the other hand, I know how much I'm ready to lose
and how much I'm OK to earn. It is fine if I lose money because of bad prediction but it is not fine if I miss earning money because I was not behind
my computer at the time price went up in my favour but afterwards dropped to point where I would get very little, nothing or even lose money. It
already happened too many times that I, for example, went Long at current price and then went outside or to sleep. In the meantime, price went up
but it also dropped afterwards. Woke up, saw that I'm 5% positive but missed the chance to cash-out at 25% positive. It totally screws my day
especially if I lose some money afterwards, while actualy being present and watching "the show".

No, current order types are only for entering the market. With Stop-Loss and Take Profit orders (coming in 4-8 days) this will be possible.

I think they are working on that

I'm now getting automatically logout even when I have an open position. It's annoying.

Also is there any reason why my position is now limited to 40BTC instead of 100BTC?

Added to bug tracker.

Sorry for the occasional changes of limits. We are constantly optimizing our risk management which leads to such changes.
However, we are currently thinking about some strategies to increase our limits significantly, but it's too early for public announcements.

trailing stop would be nice, too

Sure. However, this will take some more time.

Current price is $91 and I want to immidiately go Long but close order if price reaches or goes above $98. Can I do that with Limit or Stop-Buy?

Does word "executes" in description means order is dormant but becomes Market type once price satisfy criteria and as such it won't be closed
until user initiates closing?

Exactly.

If engine is not ready for 100 BTC worth orders than please limit orders or something.

Done. Limited size to 40 BTC until market making improves. Experienced users can ask support for higher limits.

Thanks. I'm sorry if I pissed you off but if it is an engine than we both (actualy all users and you) might be damaged by evil AI or something! Grin

No problem. Except the manipulation accusation you brought up valid points. The problem with BTCUSD is that 1Broker was initially not designed for this market. (Extreme volatility, different data sources, interest system, hard to stay correctly hedged)

I will create an internal roadmap about possible improvements.

To clarify: This is no implicit confession that we manipulate markets. However, the engine should definitely be better for 10k$ positions, you are right.

orders are not closed when user decides so but on the next tick

I think this is a point you should clarify @1broker.
Why is this so, and don't you think this is a bit unfair?

This more a technical thing than a strategic decision. I already announced a requote-free trading panel, but the implementation takes some time. I am completely overloaded with TODOs currently, so don't expect this in the next days.

ok, unless the stop comes in the next days like you sweared, this is a minor problem :-)

two more questions:

1) When I click on "short", the "stop-buy" option is actually a stop-sell isn't it?

2) Let me ask this one with an example:
I am short with 30BTC
current price is 100
I click on buy and set a stop-buy at 102 (30 BTC)
now price passes 102
will this a) open a new position?
or b) close the short?

Sorry forgot 2: This will open a new position. Positions are not affecting each other.
