Title: Buy orders not filled despite price falling below + candlestick question
Post by: Sammy Noden on October 27, 2017, 07:59:36 am
I have a few questions about the DEX:

1. Here's the price action for the hourly chart in The BTS/bitUSD market, at 1am this morning (+7 hours UTC):

Date: 2017-10-27 01:00 O: 0.0524 H: 0.0530 L: 0.0379 C: 0.0530 Vol: 9203.32273.

The low is 0.0379 BTS, but I have open buy orders above this amount which were not filled. What happened here?

2. When I click the Market Trades tab to investigate further, I can only see trades for the last three hours. How can I see earlier trades to check why my orders were not filled?

3. Not related to the two points above, some of the candlesticks in this chart have a real body with a yellow outline. What does this mean?

Appreciate any help. Thanks.

The low you see is actually correct but only for very small residual (i.e. 0.0001 bitusd) transactions. It happens  when some transaction is filled but a residual amount remains unfilled.It gets to be filled later.
  Blockchain operates on integers. When the amount is so small, that kind of rounding problems occur.

Ok, thanks for the explanation. What about the price action though? When I look at the charts, how can I know what price action is real and what is not real? This is really important for trading . .
