This thread had an explanation of something similar, but I'm not too sure because it is a slightly higher amount.

It could be BitcoinCharts, but I doubt it if they are using the Bitstamp API. It is probably either the explanation that I posted earlier or incorrect stats on Bitstamps side.

Hi all,

Can someone explain why, although the minimum trade on Bitstamp used to be $0.86 (and is now $5), there are lots of transactions in the data provided by bitcoincharts.com that are below $0.86 and $5 respectively?

To see trade amount I take the CSV from bitcoincharts.com, and get dollars traded=price*volume

~21,300 out of the ~4 million or so trades before May 15, 2014 have dollars traded < $0.86
~9600 trades after May 15, 2014 have dollars traded < $5

Is bitcoincharts just wrong, or is there some way to trade below the minimum amount?

Thanks!
