You should clarify the way you are calculating price. As far as I tell, you are picking prices off MtGox, BTC-e and BitStamp, using not average prices
and some constant exchange weight but adjustable weight and Bid or Ask price as it suits you. Price can go down on all 3 exchanges but there is
no movement downward on 1Broker or it is noticably delayed, in a way that if all 3 exchanges go down a lot than you will drop your price eventualy
after 1 minute. Once you do that, it takes 1 Satoshi bought on BTC-e for you to rise your price by up to 0.5 BTC!
I will start with the most important concern. We
are using constant weight and
always use the bid and ask values . You may ask why I'm not just make the algorithm public: It's because of preventing price manipulation. It almost destroyed us some months ago. Nevertheless, I can disclose the algorithm privately if you want.
You shouldn't use our platform for higher frequency trading. It's not ready for that, yet. The average lifetime of positions is more than 3 days and that's the intentional value.
The way prices on 1Broker change reveals major manipulation.
Your accusation comes out of assumptions. I can only say that we don't manipulate markets. You probably shouldn't use the platform if you completely distrust us.
You might call it "risk management" or whatever but I call it bullshit! Changing spread value on will, without any notice, is another "cool" feature.
Please relax. It is clearly written in our Terms. Currently you should expect a spread of at least 0.5% and up to 1%. (This may changes in the future)
What is the point of showing interest when it calculates only at full hour and only if it suits you?
Calculation happens completely automatically. Obviously we determine the interest rate by weighting long positions against shot positions.
As we don't have thousands of active traders a high volume position can change the whole situation regarding interest rates. This was definitely the case in your example.
To sum up: Please start with small positions to get a feeling of interest rates and our market making. Don't use 1Broker for higher frequency trading on BTCUSD, yet.
