Reading through your post, the other thing I don't think you realize is that liquidity for HBD markets has been quite low. This effects the price our service offers on trades that are outside the liquidity range of the market (because it is too risky for us to do a large trade at the top of book price when that price isn't supported by market liquidity). So if you try to make a single large transaction, our system will offer a worse price. Please use the estimator to check the price for the amount you plan to transact, so you won't be surprised if you are dealing in a low volume asset where the nominal price isn't supported well.
OK fine, I guess it was my fault for not checking. Sorry for causing fud!
So for liquidity (to get better pricing)would it be better to take the 3 days and convert HBD to HIVE on internal and then convert HIVE to other coins?
Selling on a market with a limit order is by far the best way. When u convert u only get 1 dollar worth of hive. You are only supposed to use convert when HBD is below one dollar!
No, converting HBD to Hive is a very bad idea right now. You will lose a lot. Sell it to anyone willing to buy it at the currently inflated rate.
