Is there a way to be able to trade on your site when it's busy? 90% of the time my orders don't even show up. I've even tried the API. Is there a certain trading program you know that executes fastest at your site, or does everyone deal with the same conditions. I see orders going through so someone must have a way.
Everyone is affected, regardless of how creating the orders.

I was not able to find a clear pattern. You can place a limit sell order below market price and it will stay unfilled forever.
But while you are waiting other orders you place can go trough, although they are placed after your previous order.

So it looks like, while the market is stuck, you have a ~2% chance per order that it will be filled (instant).
Therefore place order, wait 1 minute, cancel order. Repeat.

Of course this results in even more traffic, but it is the only way to maybe be able to trade.

Problems started already years ago and nothing was improved. Only new coins added to make it even worse...
