Re: [BTC-TC] Virtual Community Exchange w/ Options, DRIP, 2FA, API, CSV, etc.
In my browser it is not possible to click.... 
After submitting, there's a box that says "Redirect to /security/DMS.SELLING in 7 seconds..." (obviously different for different assets and the timer counts down). The "/security/DMS.SELLING" part of this is a direct link to the asset-page.Quote
This advantage doesn't come from the design of BTCT though. You could have the order book open in a different browser tab and after clicking the submit order, go to that tab and refresh it.
Bots will always be able to beat humans with parallelized requests and faster information processing. That's a generic feature and independent of BTCT.
I agree, but I am wondering why someone creates a trading bot that blockes a fair price for others and trades towards a fixed price..... Bots will always be able to beat humans with parallelized requests and faster information processing. That's a generic feature and independent of BTCT.
People create trading bots for the same reason that people trade manually: For fun and profits. Bots don't "block a fair price", because what is a fair price anyway? Whatever people are willing to buy or sell for is a fair price. If the algorithm in a bot thinks 22 is a good price, then it doesn't matter that you were only willing to pay 21.
The only issue I personally have with bots on BTCT is the (too) small price increment (or 'tick') in orders. I can outbid someone by 1 satoshi per share and have my order executed first despite making what is effectively the same offer. This is already annoying when people do it manually, but bots can automate the process. This is one of the reasons I'm currently writing my own bot ^^
