Title: wallet 0.4.15 : short order not in orderbook
Post by: bobohuy on September 18, 2014, 11:53:06 am
I short 300 bitUSD at price 29 BTSX but it does not appear in the ask/short window. The best bid now is 29.1 but my short does not execute, are there anything wrong ?
I have a margin order but has not covered yet, does it affect?

I also have a bid order for 5 bitUSD at 27 BTSX and it appears in the bid windows correctly. I am using wallet in windows 8.1 64 bit

It might be because 29 BTSX is below the current feed price. Right now, while you can still place short orders below the feed price, they won't show up in the ask/short window, and they won't execute until the feed moves to 29 BTSX or lower.

In the GUI, you can see a graph of the order book, and "short demand" is shown in cream color, while shorts that are eligible to be executed are shown in dark orange.

Where is the current feed price derived from?
