Hi,

We just experienced a system error that caused a few bad ticks. Everything is back to normal.

We are deciding on the compensations for affected customers. Compensation will be in the form of cash credits. So feel free to re-establish your positions if you're affected.

We apologize for the error and we will get back to you shortly. Thanks for understanding!

"Zhoutonged" gets whole new meanings everyday

That's not bad, if your stop order was filled so fast you can be glad, in most cases there is another race in that direction, not enough to take advantage of it but you would have taken higher losses.

The problem is that the order shouldn't have been executed because the market never reached the trigger price. Anyway, he quickly compensated the loss...

Zhoutonged!!!!

A stop of mine set at 4.49 got executed in bitcoinica at 4.4593 when the price and depth never got even close on the main market...

Ok, I see there was spikes on the quotes on bitcoinica (I don't like this manipulator), but there was such a dump in there, and only in there? There's something I'm missing or bitcoinica is an universe on his own?

Anyway, I'm just fooling around, trying to understand how it all works, but I'm sad I got short now, when I would like to stay long, and even became longer...

Well, short you can only gain 100% and lose 100%, long you can gain unlimited profits and lose 100%.

Which is better?

Stop asking such difficult questions.

Not as many as the people who were long and now zhou has to come up with money to pay
them if they all decide to liquidate right now.

The constant bitcoinica starfish amuses me now instead of annoys me. Instead of 8.2 million bitcoins, it's like there are 8.3 million, where 100k are always loaned out (Zhou said at one point he had 5 digits worth of btc). So long as the site is starfished fairly constantly, it's a non-factor, or rather, the extra ~100k btc has already been factored into the current price.

It's not starfished.

Most early adopters are geeks though. They won't have the know-how nor the guts to play the market with these huge sums of money and BTC to manipulate the market in a way which earns them money. I just can't see that happening to be honest.

You do know what all the MIT math Phd's are going right?

It ain't fixing computers.

HFT.

The geeks. They take your money. They are good at it. If it's math, they're winning.
