Order delay in a dip

[cajo]

I am trying to buy BABA in the dip and I am waiting 15 minutes to my order get filled. I am going to buy it higher? This happens to me for the first time in a possible great buying opportunity

[cajo]

20 minutes, still waiting… any explanation for this delay? For my experience I can’t say this is normal.

It’s doing you a favor at the moment

You need to atleast let it bottom out and then choose whether to buy on the way back up

[cajo]

That it’s not the issue… Not the (my) decision to buy but the delay in the order. But thanks

[Lenos1980]

It rarely executes an order on the way down as they have a responsibility to get you the best price, hence why I said wait for the bottom or a dip if you fancy your chances

[cajo]

Thanks again, I didn’t know that, but if the price goes up they also assume the responsibility? Who knows what is the best price?
Today, it dropped from 256 to 213… I don’t really care if goes down 2 or 3 more dollars. It’s my call…

[Lenos1980]

Algorithm based, it will search for a level out before executing your order. They are nice like that.

[Lenos1980]

Well it’s starting to spike so place your order, I don’t think it’s done dropping but that’s my view

[cajo]

@Lenos1980

Algorithm based

Ok, maybe you have also a good Algorithm, mine is not very good

[Lenos1980]

Its all guesswork nobody truly knows

[cajo]

So let’s see what price the Algorithm thinks it’s appropriate, but if it’s guesswork I would like to have the final decision, don’t you agree?

[cajo]

For example, I cancelled my first order and the Algorithm made me save around $3… that’s perfect, I am happy. But a few minutes ago I enter another order and made me lose around $2 or $3 because its up since.

My last enter point (maybe it goes down again but who knows):

[Hbomb]

Mine is still pending too, really annoying. What with this and currency deposit fee coming not great sign.

[cajo]

Now is $217, I am loosing money…

By the way, I don’t care about 2 o 3 dollars up or down because I only want one share, but I am writing about this here because I don’t understand what’s happening, it seems strange.

[Hbomb]

Any admin able to comment? This is very bad why such a delay.

[David]

We’re looking into it.

[cajo]

Thanks… $218.50

[cajo]

Now $215… Maybe the algorithm is right, leave it I am going to trust him.

[David]

Orders should get processed immediately now, apologies for the inconvenience.

[cajo]

Order processed… Thanks for the great assistance, great job, as usual!
