Hmm... What range are you talking about? Is it a range of valid collateralization? I wonder if that could be it. The top short has a collateral ratio of 20,000 BTSX/BitBTC, but 1.5x13,518 is greater than 20,000. So that would mean that every short in the order book is currently invalid until the price of BTC falls a little more.

I think this 20,000 BTSX/BitBTC is just the collateral that person trying to open a short position provides (i.e. does not include the proceeds of the bitBTC sell), partly because the sell price is unknown...

Is there a lower bound on the allowable collateral? so if the price is 13,333, could you short at anything less than 20,000?

Lack of arbitrage is the problem, isn't it. And this 'should' solves it.

if the short is outside the range it becomes invalid .. thats why your order is not matched .. (imho)

In BitBTC market, I have a small bid in at 13,531.7999, and the short wall is at the top of the order book at 13,531.7997. Why is my bid not matching the shorts? And why is the short wall above the feed price of 13,518.9942?
