Post by: AnonymousAddict on December 14, 2012, 10:07 pm
Ever since iv changed the setting to reflect the prices as USD instead BTC its been much easy, but since yesterday my account has gone down 1 dollar. not that its a big deal just 1 dollar but id like to know where it went and why? Any body else notice this or have this happen? just little small amounts missing?

It uses a 24 hour average of the MtGox price.  Or some bloody #-hour average.  Your BTC didn't go down, the value did.

The price for BTC went down so your $$ went down.

USD value of BTC in account = MtGox price * BTC.

If MtGox price goes up... dollar value goes up.

I felt thats what it was, since iv changed the currency view to USD reflection prices instead of btc, i can see down to the cent, guess thats why i even noticed, if it was btc i wouldnt have known.. Btc is up almost 14 bucks!! i remember just month or so ago i added 400 bucks at 10+ a coin...

Six months ago I was buyin' BTC for 5 bucks a pop.  Up, up, up they go... there's a reason a lot of people who don't care for drugs at all are enthusiastic about them  :D
