That shit cost me dearly (on Kraken).
Apparently I am an idiot for having set up market stop loss orders.
You can all mock me now. I am still confused about what orders to set up moving forward.

Just buy regularly.. and then buy on dips from time to time.. and once you get overstocked with BTC.. you can sell a wee bit, but hopefully not too much and don't sell in order to buy back later... even if you might end up buying back later with proceeds from your sales.. and fuck stop losses.. they are merely manipulation tools that are not needed in order to either get richie, to benefit from bitcoin's asymmetric bet.. so long as you are largely going long without fucking around with any significant levels of trading.

You asked..

And so, therefore, there you have it.

 I just zoomed in to the 1m chart and it seems as though someone did a market sell of ~590 bitcoin.  That's like diving into the shallow end of a pool.

... who would do such a thing?

I believe that it is called fat fingered.. meaning that it was a mistake... but who knows.. bears might be getting desperate and willing to lose in order to hope that they can control this bad boy.

Long JJG posts keep my ‘skip this’ scroll finger in shape. Don’t take this away.

Makes no sense to chase ETH when we all know BTC is the store of wealth and not even the ETH scammers claim that their chain is that. Their letting fools think that perhaps but I've never heard them say it is that.

Huh?  They have made quite a few claims to super sound money or whatever the fuck that is supposed to mean based on some of their latest supposed burning of tokens.

I am getting sick just considering some of these posts on the topic that we should be comparing which shitcoin is less shitty.  blah blah blah.



Tomorrow will will see a downtrend !

Told `ya Cheesy -5%

Oh gawd.. we have a budding soothsayer....

Someone who knows exactly what the books look like and is playing in the derivatives?

Looks like Fuckery to me, no-one fat fingers 590 BTC.

... mmm, looks like institutional level fuckery, like to stall a massive run into a newly opened futures ETF

Wow... I had not realized this until I saw your post, Paashaas. 

A bit strange for me, because of the way that I have been changing around my buy orders in recent times... Actually historically, some members here might remember that last year I had buy orders down to about $9k, but in recent times, I had considered ONLY maintaining buy orders down to the 208-week moving average, which is nearly $17k, but even based on my own moving around of values and even spending some my value, I have only kept buy orders down to $24k and on that particular exchange, I had only maintained buy orders down to $42k  (which started at $60k) - so all of my buy orders on that exchange (about 17 of them were filled between $42k and $60k).. cannot really complain... except such surprise filling of all of those orders did cause me to have to reset a number of orders and to consider how I was going to treat this whole matter in order to attempt to get my systems rebalanced... and yeah did mess me up in terms of further overallocating into BTC by filling those extra orders.. but who is going to complain about a discount - when considering spot price, right?


Ooohhhh! You Poor Thing!!!
You Got 42K corn that screwed up all you bot figurations?

Excuse me while I cry you an F'n Mississippi River!!!

Ethereum is much like the stonk market:

It'll always get pumped, even though it is complete dog shit.

The biggest scam in crypto history (next to XRP).

I'm going to have to take exception there. For XRP to be a scam in crypto history, it would have to be a crypto.

I'd say we'll have a laugh about this in a few months, but in truth, we probably won't, because by then, we'll probably have forgotten completely about this "just another FUD".

If there is such a need for smart contracts, ie if my fridge needs to automatically order eggs and milk from a supermarket computer and pay the robot delivery then it would cost $63 before anything is delivered.

No worries, Amazon has already got you covered with their upcoming smart (*cough* spy *cough*) refrigerator:

It could be a dumb mistake. Flash crashes can be really nice if you have the right buy order.

When I used to trade an exchange a lot I’d put something like 70% of my balance on a stupid low order and then trade with the rest, just as a way of separating my funds..
I would also put in stupid low orders before I went to sleep, or quit..

I'm still using this strategy, or at least still trying. I always prefer to have 50%+ liquidity locked into some hideously low buy order, just in case. When it works it's an amazing get rich quick scheme!
Though currently only using Binance and liquidity is too high for it to work with common trading pairs, needs to be done on some shit exchange like Kraken or Bitstamp I imagine.

We always figured somebody screwed up and missed a decimal, or accidentally put one too many or one too few numbers in their order..

Like if that guy was trying to place that sell at 69800, but accidentally missed a zero and sold at 6980, that’s what you’d see on the charts..

It happens..

Also known as fat fingered discounts  Wink

Yeah, look down the books and put it just just above a big wall..

That's indeed always the trick  Wink Or least go for "the" big wall, as opposed to a big wall.

Maker bots are very good these days and create a lot of liquidity and their is just a lot more liquidity in general these days than their used to be..

Bots don't appear to reduce the chance of flash crashes though, at least not on Bitstamp very recently, if anything they encourage these flash crashes.
The algorithms just "help" to drive the price back up usually within millisecond(s).

Previously it'd take a few minutes for "real-ish life traders" to buy the price back up to a reasonable level, now it all happens in a blink of an eye as you probably know, usually within a second or a few, before traders can place buy or sell orders themselves most notably. The relevance is the bots will always allow the price to crash (no doubt triggering their stop losses as well), but immediately buy back once the selling has ended (ie the backlog of stop losses cleared through) or there is sign of buying strength. The sign of buying strength is simply the fastest or most sophisticated algo bot that first buys the lows  Roll Eyes

In summary it seems bots help the price to "stabilise" back to it's previous un-crashed value, but not before selling the drop and buying the lows. Probably being responsible for a fair few flash crashes as well.

It mainly just means traders using stop losses (nearly all of them) get stopped out and lose their positions  Undecided
