Title: I really have a problem now!!
Post by: hdup on May 03, 2016, 01:58:53 pm

I placed an order to buy 0.01 Compuceed at 269 BTS/Compuceeds.
It almost instantaneously gets filled at 140.83769634.
This happened on block 5,791,852
This does not look right to me. Can anybody Help?

you offered to buy COMPUCEEDS at 269.00 BTS/COMPUCEEDS
Someone sold it to you for cheaper than that .. namely for 140.83769634 BTS/COMPUCEEDS

Xeroc, my problem is that we are bound to adhere to preferred rates. Now I get blamed for devaluing our Compuceeds.
Should I have rather used the sell BTS screen?

I don't get what you are talking about. You can technically put your orders at any price and if there is an overlap of highest bid and lowest ask, the DEX executes a trade at the best price for who ever made the last of the two matching orders.

It doesn't matter if you buy in BTS/COMPUCEEDS or sell in COMPUTCEEDS/BTS .. it's the same market, prices are just inverted

Of course you would not know what I'm talking about, Xeroc, since you're not a member there.
Your answer has in any case helped me, putting me at ease that it wasn't my fault.
