It'd be lovely if any of these whales could make a guest appearance here (even in a throwaway account), and tell us a couple stories..

Cmon guys.. I know one of you out there is bound to be reading this...

It's interesting how after buying everything up to $110 and selling everything down to $101 that the bids and asks filled the middle in again so quickly at a variety of prices, creating a market depth profile that looked like nothing had just happened.

I was thinking that same thing. Who's providing the stability?

Like many others, I'm placing bids and asks to try and take advantage of the situation to make a few bucks. The depth is probably a result of everyone doing the same thing.

How? With this lag?

There isnt any lag? And its mostly irrelevant at a time like this. Place a bid somewhere pretty low, depending on how risky you are, behind 500-5k of bids... then place asks 500-5k behind the other asks.

If you did this throughout this situation, you'd have made a killing. All it relies on is that the market acts extraordinarily stupid, so this wont usually work, and you wont be able to tell it would have until after the fact.

Ah well i'm looking at a chart. Not on Gox itself and it shows prices all over the place and quite some lag.

What do you mean by lag?

Your risk return spectrum is a little wide for me.

What do you mean? You would go with less bids and asks in front of you? I mean, that usually makes sense.. but the volume was so absurdly high, even 5k on both sides would have gotten you some returns. 1-2k seems like a "safe" point to me, you are not subject to a random 500 sell amongst 50000 of buys, or the opposite... without being so far behind that you miss the majority of the action.

If you only knew for sure. That can easily backfire too. Hindsight is 20-20

Personally I just bought 30BTC on Campbx for $98 and can't get them to Gox fast enough to sell before we see $100 again. I would love to make a quick 3 BTC before bed.

Almost no Gox lag at that ridiculous volume is definitely not how it used to be. You used to get like 30s of trade engine lag for at least 2 minutes every 2k BTC sell off.

Imagine what people are going to think when they wake up and check the charts.. see no volume followed by 50k... and no significant change in price. I know if I were that person, I'd squint, check bitcoinium, clarkmoody, etc... and then of course, check the wall thread to see live reactions.

Theres only 4k of asks back to our daily high, and 10k of new bids down to 100 [our daily low - NOT 101]

And new daily high, 109.96.

This is just so stupid. If we break 100, we're in bad shape. But just because it didnt fall doesnt mean these people should be buying in...
