I hate to get you back "on topic" jbreher, but I would like to confess that I made a bit of a orderbook/laddering/incrementalism "screw up."  

I had some sell orders fill in around the $11,950 price area, so I was resetting my buy orders, and the price was around $11,867, but I was setting one of my buy orders to buy back some of my coins in the $11,200 arena, but instead of typing $11,200, I fat fingered it (typed $12,200), and I accidentally bought immediately at $11,867.  

I know it's fashionable to hate on Coinbase 'round these here parts, but Coinbase will not let you make an order that is on the wrong side of the market. Such as buys for more than market nor sells below market. Rather than rounding to market, it just refuses to book the trade. Has kept me from making similar mistakes in the past. Might be worth looking into.

Problem resolved.  Correction sell order filled.  I reset the correction sell order for $11,982-ish... because there was a little bit of a wall of coins at $11,984, so I wanted to make sure that my orders got filled, instead of getting stuck..... but either way the matter was resolved because the price went up beyond my amounts, and I was able to reset my buy orders back to the original intended amounts

Congrats.

I probably have told my coinbase woes in the past.  Anyhow coinbase was one of my first places to buy bitcoin, and surely I used their trading platform for years too.  About a year ago, those fucktwats froze my account would not really give me any explanation, so in essence I have been kicked off of their platform.  Yes, I am familiar with their fat finger protection algorithm, I had been saved by that a few times too, on that particular platform (in the past).


Is it my imagination or did I just actually read a civil exchange between yogi and JJG?

Of course. You are acting like you are new here, though I know you are not.

You goofball <-- semi obligatory JJG style taunt

No need to worry guys (and gal).

Hold my beer.  I got this.

In other words, looks like jbreher has fallen completely under my spell.

In other words (am I running out of words, yet?), picnic jbreher won't be talking no more BIGBLOCKER, bcash pumping, bitcoin naysaying smack.

Thank me later.   Wink
