You reported similar behavior, yes, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's the same cause. What I'm saying is that this is the first time I've heard about this particular cause of price spikes from our developers. That doesn't mean it hasn't been around for a long time, I'm just saying I'm not sure how long it's been around since this is the first I've heard of this cause (again, cause, not the behavior). We've had other issues in the past that have caused similar spikes (like the bid>ask issue that has been discussed here before). Probably the behavior you saw 3 years ago was from the bid>ask issue.
Hi,
Just to clarify can I set Stop Loss <= Market order for example to sell during large dips safely? I'm now paranoid about setting them and walking away but finding them triggered due to the spikes. The graph glitches are annoying but I can put up with those.
I'd really like to be able to go to sleep in the knowledge that I can see some return. Being in the UK the real activity is invariably when I should be asleep!
My experience with stop loss has made me to avoid them completely. They will almost always execute late and at the worst possible price, especially during down spikes (ie: It will trigger at the bottom of it). But hey. that's just me. You could set up a stop-loss limit order.... but it will probably not run unless the price is already on the rebound upwards.
Maybe Dargo can guarantee you a better outcome, but I wouln't count on it.
