General Discussion / Re: Market freeze on fast price movement

BTS/bit* can freeze if either not enoigh feeds a valid .. or the market depth is to low .. i am not aware of any other freezing

I believe the market depth requirement was kicked some versions ago. BitEUR for example is happily trading with nearly no depth.

Riverhead and Methodx have been supplying feeds recently. They are probably asleep and haven't noticed yet that something is broken.

Toast though never has ...

General Discussion / Re: The Bitshares SUPERbull thread

Lol everytime the price jumps up like that, I wish I had sold some and waited...but I know, I just f'ing know that the one time I decide to take the plunge and sell some the bull rally will start without me and I'll end up buying back at a premium.

Trading drives me bonkers. I don't know how people can do it without going mad. Sticking to my hold strategy...for now.  :P

Good call btw lil_jay. Spot on.
I hodl 90 % of my stake and trade with 10 %. I found that's a good strategy to keep the spirits up. If you're right with trading you can give yourself a pat on the back. If you're wrong you still get 90 % of the next jump towards the moon :)

There was a single margin order of roughly 700k BitUSD about one day from expiry.

General Discussion / Re: Do shorts fill below the price feed?
« on: December 03, 2014, 09:24:33 pm »
I don't know if this is related to your problem but I experienced a situation I would call a bug as well:

Imagine the feed is 0.02 USD/BTS
There are no open short orders and no relevant open bids.
There is one open ask at 0.019 (so on the far side of the peg, something happening not often in the current market).

Now I post a short order limited at 0.019.

What happens is that the trade is executed because it matches an ask. BUT because shorts are always executed at the feed I actually pay 0.02 even though this is above my limit!

short will execute at price of min(feed price, limit price)
Code: [Select]
                // Always execute shorts at the feed price
                mtrx.bid_price = *_feed_price;

                // Skip shorts that are over the price limit.
                if( _current_bid->state.short_price_limit.valid() )
                {
                  if( *_current_bid->state.short_price_limit < mtrx.ask_price )
                  {
                      _current_bid.reset(); continue;
                  }
                  mtrx.bid_price = std::min( *_current_bid->state.short_price_limit, mtrx.bid_price );
                }
            }

Technical Support / Re: Account dust question
« on: December 03, 2014, 07:47:09 am »
Maybe this is a rounding issue and actually your balance is somewhere between 0.000005 and 0.00001 BTS and only displayed as 0.00001 BTS? In this case your balance would become negative if you tried to transfer 0.00001 BTS.

Why would b2 get executed at all? Its limit is below the feed.
Also it's a bit confusing that a1 refers to two different orders :)

« on: December 01, 2014, 07:51:11 am »
I would rather up BM's or toast's pay to 400% than cut down others. 100% at the current BTS price is not a competitive full-time salary.

General Discussion / Re: Any bitAssets without grandfathering?
« on: December 01, 2014, 07:35:44 am »
GOLD used to have a few grandfathered shorts but they have been covered.

Currently the ratio of grandfathered shorts for the other BitAssets is
USD: 8 %
CNY: 59 %
BTC: 35 %

It's really difficult to say if this has an impact on price or not.

How about being able to short at negative interest rates if nobody is willing to offer 0%?

The guy who has been dumping BitShares on BTC38 in blocks of a million for the last three weeks ran out a day or two ago.

What kind of negative growth do you mean? The float actually increased by about 70 thousand due to the short wall bumping into the buy orders.

If you are referring to the 0.82 USD/BitUSD on coinmarketcap I think that is because they calculate that price using various other ratios like BTS/USD, BTS/BitUSD, BTS/BTC and BTS/CNY. If some of those trades are a few hours it will mess things up.

If anything then BitUSD was actually trading above parity because the internal short wall ran dry.

I like "headhunted by a blockchain". Even though it sounds a bit like a horror-movie :)
