1/3 Yesterday a test of an unreleased advanced order type encountered a bug which resulted in the order's prices being matched against the wrong side of the book. Some clients bought from the tester at $8000 and others sold at $12000 without clearing the intervening liquidity.

2/3 While the candle gives the impression that liquidity was exhausted between $8-12k, the wicks on either side are hollow. A trade executed at the high and low but there were not trades throughout and there were no other orders that were not matched that should have been.

We intend to fix the bug before we resume the beta. Would you prefer no testing? All production code in the world is being tested all the time. This order type saw thousands of tests over months before being pushed to the limited production beta.

If your stop market order was triggered and you did not understand that market price means ANY price, or you otherwise feel like the exchange is at fault for something, please submit a support ticket.
