So umm, can bitfinex trades still be executed on bitstamp? Is there any official word on why they stopped?
They stopped that. If they need liquidity, I believe BFX knocks on Stamps door, but the order books remain separate.
I have no Idea what your trying to say. I'm asking about the ability to route ones trades on bitstamp from bitfinex. It doesn't seem to be there any more? And I'm wondering why.
The routing option was removed a long time ago. There is a longer explanation, but I don't know what it is ... lol.
ah, Right you are:
6. Bitstamp Liquidity combined with Bitfinex: Lastly, and perhaps
most importantly, we have listened to your feedback and we agree that trying
to superimpose two order books with different pricing is confusing,
forcing traders to do a lot of extra math when all they really want to do is
trade. Going forward, we will no longer be showing Bitstamp orders on our
book, but rather regular BFX orders reflecting Bitstamp liquidity, but
priced and grouped in such a way that BFX commission rules can be applied
uniformly to all trades on the platform.
This changes will be implemented within the next few days.
I guess I only noticed that this had happened over the last few days when the prices on the two orderbooks separated a little... dont i feel silly... thanks for your help guys
