Look for the sell orders that are in the range you're willing to pay for, if you see one that has the total amount you want manually put the price in and buy it. I'll take a hit or pay slightly higher to sell/buy things faster.
I can't even purchase b/c the 2 open orders are also holdingt he BTC hostage that I had used to place them in the first place. If I cancel the orders, should my BTC balance refresh with those amounts and then I can try and purchase again? I'm pissed off b/c if so, i'll be buying at a higher price than my initial orders.
Here are the open orders below:
2017/12/23 22:40:39 BRD/BTC Limit Buy 0.00008100 5000 0.00% 0.40500000 -- option to Cancel
2017/12/23 09:11:43 LEND/BTC Limit Buy 0.00000398 15000 0.00% 0.05970000 -- option to Cancel
and here's how it affected my available BTC balance:
BTC Bitcoin Total: 0.464708300. Available: 0.000008300 In Order: 0.464700000 BTC value: 0.46470830
as you can see, there is 0.464700000 BTC being held hostage by the pending orders
