Hi I have a question about buy method. Recently I received successful message from Poloniex I run once buy order method with option immediateOrCancel. I get two trades instead of the expected one.
{'orderNumber': '269159954730', 'amountUnfilled': '0.00000000', 'resultingTrades': [{'total': '0.00323034', 'tradeID': '16775174', 'amount': '0.10364748', 'rate': '0.03116670', 'date': '2018-04-22 10:59:11', 'type': 'buy'}, {'total': '0.05271018', 'tradeID': '16775175', 'amount': '1.68942915', 'rate': '0.03120000', 'date': '2018-04-22 10:59:11', 'type': 'buy'}]}
Could someone help me with that or say why it's happend?
11,77 but it bought 1,79 amount of currency. So your answer helped me a lot, thanks. In the order book didn't be offer to complete exactly that amount. I bought aproximetely amount. – mrberner – 2018-04-24T08:57:21.467
Another question is that which price should be chosen as opening price? if my offer would have 3 resultingTrades, I can each amount add together and have control over it. But I have three diffrent rates. – mrberner – 2018-04-24T10:24:14.153
Your opening price is set by you when u make the buy order at that amount. If someone posts a lower offer you will fill these orders first, but this will not be seen as an opening price. I believe you only have control over the amount u specify to buy at (ie your opening price) – Fuzzybear – 2018-04-24T10:42:08.413
hmm, I set opening price through passing it to function from this wrapper here There is

Rate from response on successful trade is necessary to achieve provided strategy. But you said that I only have control over amount, true because not always my rate and amount will be available in order book.
