Previously, a price markdown error only meant that, for that batch of anything, the labels could be at a lower price, which would cause a quick search until the product is finished or the product doesn't leave the shelf, until someone checks the overpriced!
Currently, a price markdown error, at least, causes convulsions in the market, at the most, in the entire supermarket chain or wherever it is rescheduling.
That leaves the question: how to know, in the case of cryptocurrencies, if the requested amount is really the market value?
Answer: don't know!
At most, when looking at the purchase and sale books, the demand-to-cost ratio will define the next values to be traded.
Borrowed from the traditional financial world, the terms bid and ask are used to determine the average price for that period of trading time.
Many investors do not understand that the settlement of a sell order will always occur when the lowest point rises to the asking price.
Likewise, the buy price is always the maximum reached price at the time of order execution.
The average price just flattens the spread. The spread is the broker's way of evaluating future offers and trying to averagely rify the buy and sell value.
Thus, smaller spread values provide better chances of entering or exiting the asset position, so as not to lose the temporal process involved.
With larger spreads between bid and ask, what happens is that mechanisms such as stop gain or stop loss take longer to be activated, especially if the relationship between buyers and sellers is stagnating the position.
Another determining factor, always, so that the spread decreases and, also, that there are no bumps in the values of the position, is to act when there is a high volume of business.
High trading volumes usually buffer large purchases or large sales by a single investor.
Low volumes, however, allow for rapid ascents or descents.
By being observed at these moments, the investee is able to earn much more, but also takes much more risk.
Anyway, prices are always determined by those who are looking for and, even if there is an error in rebooking, someone will always buy!!
