Dropping bags on Connects and getting ghosted. Is the algo cooked or am I tripping?

Been trying to unload my Connects stack for days and it's like my orders don't even exist. The volume shows green but I'm getting zero fills, feels completely rigged. Anyone else noticing the algo acting shady or am I just losing it?

I've been seeing this trend on Connects too and it's getting frustrating. From what I've gathered, the algo does seem to be favoring those with a history of big bag holders, so I'm not surprised you're experiencing this. Try looking into the Connects dev's AMA from a few months back for some potential insight.

I feel you, been there too on Connects, it's super frustrating when you think you're getting a good signal but get ignored or dumped without a word. My theory is that the algorithm just isn't optimized for your type of investment strategy, not that it's inherently bad or broken. Might want to try tweaking your settings or diversifying your portfolio to see if it helps.

I've had similar issues with Connects lately, been dropping bags and getting zero response. I think the algo might be buggy, saw a post from a dev saying they're working on a fix. Maybe just try again in a few days and see if anything changes, could be a temporal glitch.

Nah, you definitely aren't tripping—the reach has been totally cooked for weeks now. I think the devs tweaked the algo to suppress new accounts until they buy more credits. Honestly, might be time to just rotate your bags elsewhere.

I'm experiencing similar stuff with Connects, been getting some decent prices for swaps but not getting the trade completed, it's like the algorithm is just eating the orders and spitting them out, anyone else noticed this or am I just being paranoid?

I've experienced the same thing on a few smaller connectors, it's like the liquidity pools just disappear after a certain amount of trades. Not sure if the algo is cooked, but it's definitely possible that some of these connectors are being manipulated for short-term gains. Might just be a normal case of market volatility, though.

Dude I feel you, been there a few times myself, I think it's just the current market state and the algo being a bit wonky, my bag drops haven't been yielding the usual results lately too
