So I had another Mercatox moment today. A few hours ago I placed a limit buy order of 25,000 DNotes for 620 Satoshi. At the time there was a standing sell order of 400 DNotes for 620 Satoshi. So as soon as I placed the order I immediately bought 400 DNotes and that eliminated all sell orders for 620. Not too long after that, A sell of 25,084.1 DNotes at 620 Satoshi executed. But not one bit of my standing limit order at that price was filled. It still sits on the order book at 24,600 DNotes for 620 Satoshi and it might never fill because the price has been going nowhere but up all day. Since placing that order triggered the standing sell order to fill, I would think that meant my order was first in line. But instead, some other order filled first, and mine still sits there waiting.

How is this explained by technical difficulties?

I see no other orders for 620 Satoshi and haven't for hours. As far as I know, my order is the only one, and if there were invisible orders, mine had to be first. And yet, it wasn't the first to fill when someone else sold more than the amount I'd ordered at that price.

I feel like I'm playing by a set of rules I do not understand. Is anyone else trading on Mercatox? Could you share some insight?

How is this explained by technical difficulties?

Depends how orders are filled. If you don't specify in which order orders are filled, they could fill in any order or default to newest to oldest. However I'm not arguing your issues are technical, the only ones who would truly know is mercatox. I do not see how an exchange would benefit from doing this intentionally either. I am just offering an alternative explanation that may not be so nefarious.

I would recommend opening a support ticket to explain your experiences. This link seems to be working.

Thanks for the insight, and I'm really not trying to be a party pooper. Just observed some strange (to me) exchange behavior, and I will choose to take the view that these are unintentional technical things. I hear what you were saying earlier about it taking a lot "under the hood" to make an exchange truly work properly especially when lots of people are using it at the same time. I'm really looking forward to the DNotes Global exchange

There was a very brief flash crash before the price just went up by another 100 Satoshi, so in the end I got those orders filled and I'm already in profit.

Thanks for the link to support--it works. I will open up a ticket if I have any more trouble.

Mercatox is shady. No bad experiences with them myself as I have avoided them based on the experiences of others but mercatox has a long history of shady practices that are well documented especially when the price of XRB (now Nano) climbed exponentially in December. People had their coins locked up for months on there. I would not be surprised at all if what you are noticing is very real. I would also advise not using mercatox moving forward.
