Brake fluid concern !

I need your guys advice here. I replaced my brake fluid with ATE Blue the on all 4 coners in the right order: 1-rear right, 2-front left, 3-front right, 4-rear left. No bubbles in the line, pure blue liquid. However it feels like pedal little spongy. First 1 inch its soft and then I can actually push it to the stopper at the floor.
DOes anybody experienced this or is it suppose to be like this??

I'm assuming it worked fine before. Sounds like there is air in the system. Air will compress, unlike brake fluid.

I use the same fluid and it works fine.

Heres a diagram of the order to bleed the brakes (thanks to joe250).

If you keep getting air in the lines, you might want to invest in one of these.

you definitely have air in your lines... how did you bleed? did you turn the car on when you bled? how many pumps of pure blue liquid were you getting? all these things have to be answered

my guess is that you were untightening the bleed screws too much and you sucked in air from the threads.

remember to only untighten them, don't unscrew them AT ALL! you will suck air through the threads, if you just break the screw's tightness and start pumpin' away you'll be good.
