Thats because you most likely be screwed in phase1. Think about it, the price ends up between the highest buy and lowest sell order thats out. If you buy from one with an open order, you are screwed in Phase 2, because you lost money. Why not wait to Phase 2, buy there and after it is out of it? If you buy/sell in phase 1 (not put open order, just trade with open order) and don't have millions laying around, you are pretty much guaranteed to lose DKP in Phase 2. So why bother?
