This is a mirror of the original BitMEX trollbox archive that used to be online here.
BitMEX disabled their archive after the DDOS attack so I have decided to make my mirror publicly available.

Well now, a few days after I made this mirror available to the public, the original archive from BitMEX is online again.
But since it is still limited (neutered to the last few hundred messages) I will keep my FULL mirror alive.

[2016-02-17 07:03:26] djuan : Yeah! Now we're talking ?? high five
[2016-02-17 07:10:37] rapidtrades : what a min....a50 is trading at 100 points discount
[2016-02-17 07:11:26] rapidtrades : is the index closed atm? seems a bit too much
[2016-02-17 07:14:03] TraderStefan : http://www.ig.com/sg/ig-indices/china-a50
[2016-02-17 07:15:31] BitMEX_Wally : rapidtrades: If you think it's too low why don't you go borrow some A shares and short China to arb the difference?
[2016-02-17 07:15:40] rapidtrades : that's even more confusing... @TraderStefan
[2016-02-17 07:16:00] rapidtrades : prices on ig are 200 points below index and 100 below here
[2016-02-17 07:16:44] BitMEX_Wally : Well the index market is closed now
[2016-02-17 07:17:18] rapidtrades : well that's what i was asking :)
[2016-02-17 07:17:39] rapidtrades : http://www.bloomberg.com/quote/XU1:IND
[2016-02-17 07:17:50] rapidtrades : bloomberg's quoting closer to here
[2016-02-17 07:18:03] BitMEX_Wally : The future on SGX trades until 2am China time
[2016-02-17 07:18:05] rapidtrades : guess bloomberg is the futures?
[2016-02-17 07:18:51] BitMEX_Wally : Yes
[2016-02-17 07:19:27] BitMEX_Wally : We mark our future to the price of the SGX future
[2016-02-17 07:19:55] rapidtrades : then why does the index say 9047 when futures are 100 points lower
[2016-02-17 07:20:10] rapidtrades : or is it marked on futures, settled on spot
[2016-02-17 07:20:22] BitMEX_Wally : Correct
[2016-02-17 07:21:01] BitMEX_Wally : The SGX future settles on the index price, so if we settled on the SGX future price it would be the same thing
[2016-02-17 07:21:03] altcoinsdotin : hi
[2016-02-17 07:21:20] BitMEX_Wally : rapidtrades: You can always buy the future and sell the index
[2016-02-17 07:21:21] altcoinsdotin : what is the effective max leverage of the new a50 product?
[2016-02-17 07:21:30] BitMEX_Wally : altcoinsdotin: 100x
[2016-02-17 07:21:33] altcoinsdotin : thanks
[2016-02-17 07:21:35] altcoinsdotin : good job
[2016-02-17 07:21:37] BitMEX_Wally : The maintenance margin requirement is 1%
[2016-02-17 07:21:44] altcoinsdotin : ah ok of course
[2016-02-17 07:22:04] BitMEX_Wally : Initial margin requirement is 4% so you can open at 25x
[2016-02-17 07:25:07] rapidtrades : BitMEX_Wally: is the marking on a50 automatic? how often does it happen
[2016-02-17 07:25:29] BitMEX_Wally : It is automatically marked to the SGX future
[2016-02-17 07:25:48] rapidtrades : how often? is it delayed?
[2016-02-17 07:25:58] BitMEX_Wally : There might be 1 second dela
[2016-02-17 07:26:21] BitMEX_Wally : I imagine the market makers will have quicker feeds
[2016-02-17 07:26:24] rapidtrades : oh cool...so I can use that to get a general idea where a50 is atm
[2016-02-17 07:26:49] BitMEX_Wally : Yes, although we reserve the right to mark the contracts how ever we want
[2016-02-17 07:27:01] rapidtrades : well great :)
[2016-02-17 07:27:37] BitMEX_Wally : So our future last traded at 8955 and it is marked to 8947.5 (from SGX) and the underlying index last official price was 9047.5
[2016-02-17 07:27:58] rapidtrades : I see 8940
[2016-02-17 07:28:18] BitMEX_Wally : For which number?
[2016-02-17 07:28:22] rapidtrades : mark
[2016-02-17 07:28:33] BitMEX_Wally : 8950
[2016-02-17 07:28:37] BitMEX_Wally : It ticks every few seconds
[2016-02-17 07:28:46] rapidtrades : not for me
[2016-02-17 07:29:00] rapidtrades : had to refresh
[2016-02-17 07:29:48] rapidtrades : anyone can confirm that mark prices is not moving unless u refresh? a50
[2016-02-17 07:30:03] BitMEX_Wally : It's ticking for me
[2016-02-17 07:30:08] BitMEX_Wally : 8947.5 now
[2016-02-17 07:30:21] rapidtrades : well obv...just checking if its me
[2016-02-17 07:31:10] rapidtrades : who else is here/ check https://www.bitmex.com/app/trade/A50G16
[2016-02-17 07:32:36] BitMEX_Wally : The official closing price of the index just printed: https://www.bitmex.com/app/index/.A50
[2016-02-17 07:33:42] rapidtrades : so the mark will stop moving now?
[2016-02-17 07:33:50] BitMEX_Wally : No
[2016-02-17 07:33:56] BitMEX_Wally : The index will stop moving until China opens again
[2016-02-17 07:33:59] BitMEX_Wally : But the futures trade on
[2016-02-17 07:38:22] rapidtrades : are those futures 24/5?
[2016-02-17 07:41:23] BitMEX_Wally : 9am to 2am Monday to Friday
[2016-02-17 07:41:31] BitMEX_Wally : Ours are 24/7 though :)
[2016-02-17 07:45:06] kogroken : That's nice
[2016-02-17 08:09:11] rapidtrades : BitMEX_Wally: 9 to 2 china time?
[2016-02-17 08:13:26] BitMEX_Wally : The SGX futures open at 9am and close at 2am China time
[2016-02-17 08:13:32] BitMEX_Wally : UTC+0800
[2016-02-17 08:13:48] rapidtrades : ok tnx
[2016-02-17 08:17:04] rapidtrades : some tool keeping prices low on US exchanges
[2016-02-17 08:17:28] rapidtrades : train has left the station b1tch, step aside or get rolled over
[2016-02-17 08:18:01] elmorte : What was with the 25k walls just now?
[2016-02-17 08:18:18] elmorte : or was it 50k?

[2016-02-17 08:47:11] jung1 : Less trading is more effective for me
[2016-02-17 08:47:31] jesperf : eth is a hell of a drug
[2016-02-17 08:47:48] jung1 : Digital meth
[2016-02-17 08:47:50] elmorte : It's bat country
[2016-02-17 08:48:14] jung1 : Feel like bitcoin in '12

[2016-02-17 08:48:52] elmorte : Same, had no bitcoin in '12
[2016-02-17 08:49:25] rapidtrades : nothing will be like bitcoin is 2012...u missed it
[2016-02-17 08:49:28] rapidtrades : deal with it
[2016-02-17 08:49:42] jung1 : Bitcoin is still hipster technology and i bet that like 25% bitcoiners already know eth
[2016-02-17 08:49:56] jung1 : So its nothing
[2016-02-17 08:50:11] elmorte : know of it, yeah....what to do with it, no
[2016-02-17 08:50:24] elmorte : Just like btc in '12 :)
[2016-02-17 08:50:56] jung1 : Best time to plant a tree was 15 years ago, and now
[2016-02-17 08:51:06] jung1 : ;)
[2016-02-17 08:52:13] jung1 : BitMEX_Wally: Any chance to add bitmex to tabtrader?
[2016-02-17 08:53:08] BitMEX_Wally : Looks good. We'll reach out to them
[2016-02-17 08:54:32] jung1 : Would be cool but they dont have isolate option etc so you have to figure out this
[2016-02-17 08:54:54] jung1 : But its really cool for trading multiple coins
[2016-02-17 08:55:14] jung1 : Works better than polo site when you trade on polo heh
[2016-02-17 08:55:17] djuan : Moon
[2016-02-17 08:57:34] jung1 : BitMEX_Wally: You should get some kind of customers support award
[2016-02-17 08:57:46] jung1 : Bitmex ftw
[2016-02-17 08:58:01] BitMEX_Wally : Having customers on our platform and growing is its own reward
[2016-02-17 08:58:15] jung1 : <3
[2016-02-17 08:58:51] rapidtrades : :)
[2016-02-17 08:59:27] jung1 : rapidtrades: u see? They even like you
[2016-02-17 08:59:47] jung1 : Or at least they act like they do
[2016-02-17 09:00:28] rapidtrades : I talked to the bitcoin police and they said ''DAQUAN is the realist in the game''
[2016-02-17 09:00:38] rapidtrades : Shkreli 2016
[2016-02-17 09:00:50] rapidtrades : *realest
[2016-02-17 09:01:54] jung1 : Duckuan?
[2016-02-17 09:02:06] rapidtrades : WHERE'S MY F*CKING PREMIUM
[2016-02-17 09:03:06] rapidtrades : guess I should be grateful there's no DPE
[2016-02-17 09:05:22] rapidtrades : 267019 contracts
[2016-02-17 09:11:06] rapidtrades : ''I'm gonna shoot Sitoshi''
[2016-02-17 09:11:10] rapidtrades : Shkreli 2016
[2016-02-17 09:13:25] tscha : you like this guy don't you
[2016-02-17 09:13:46] rapidtrades : maybe?
[2016-02-17 09:18:51] laisee : when a hero comes along ...
[2016-02-17 09:19:47] tscha : BitMEX_Wally: just out of curiousity, why is there a scheduled downtime today? some fix or a feature that you can't deploy softly?
[2016-02-17 09:20:07] BitMEX_Wally : Yes
[2016-02-17 09:20:16] rapidtrades : wtf no
[2016-02-17 09:20:24] rapidtrades : DENIED
[2016-02-17 09:20:30] BitMEX_Wally : It will probably be a lot quicker than scheduled
[2016-02-17 09:21:02] tscha : fix or feature? --> yes :)
[2016-02-17 09:21:09] BitMEX_Wally : Both
[2016-02-17 09:34:50] micmix : scheduled downtime? when?
[2016-02-17 09:35:20] tscha : 14.00 utc
[2016-02-17 09:35:33] tscha : when little micmix is sleeping :)
[2016-02-17 09:43:24] chromaticcr : BitMEX_Wally: How simpleOrderQty round
[2016-02-17 09:43:59] micmix : tscha: thanks, didn't see the announcement :-)
[2016-02-17 09:45:18] BitMEX_Wally : chromaticcr: You do not have to round simpleOrderQty on an order, it can be any fractional amount of the underlying
[2016-02-17 09:45:28] BitMEX_Wally : The number of contracts is then automatically calculated
[2016-02-17 09:46:11] tscha : micmix: btw, did you find a solution to the bulk order issue consuming too many calls?
[2016-02-17 09:46:27] BitMEX_Wally : tscha: Sam fixed that I think
[2016-02-17 09:48:08] micmix : tscha: Sam said it's an issue when array is stringified. if you don't stringify you'll be good, haven't tried yet
[2016-02-17 09:48:24] micmix : BitMEX_Wally: oh cool, glad it's fixed
[2016-02-17 09:52:09] tscha : so we are all set for moon... very good
[2016-02-17 09:52:28] tscha : micmix: btw, antpool mined 2nd classic block if you haven't heard
[2016-02-17 09:52:55] tscha : majority of ant runs still on core, but they are testing classic
[2016-02-17 09:53:17] micmix : yeah, saw that on nodecounter today
[2016-02-17 10:34:23] habibi : 267k liquidation, nice:)
[2016-02-17 10:36:15] laisee : damn, was that the 'new' guy?
[2016-02-17 10:36:26] habibi : i bet so
[2016-02-17 10:36:34] habibi : love him
[2016-02-17 10:36:43] tscha : still unsure what this guy is doing
[2016-02-17 10:36:45] habibi : liquidity provider as i said before :)
[2016-02-17 10:38:14] tscha : sometimes he trades directly before spot moves substantially, sometimes he is just doing dumb things... yesterday (well I think he was him) he bought like $2 above premium 10min before settlement
[2016-02-17 10:38:19] tscha : pretty weird dude
[2016-02-17 10:39:33] habibi : nah tscha i think its just some of us trying to do some frontrunning of china moves
[2016-02-17 10:39:54] habibi : and yea the second option u mention is totally him looking at open interest at that time
[2016-02-17 10:43:16] tscha : who is "frontrunning" China here? this is definitely him, you can see open interest building up by *a lot* right before many big moves
[2016-02-17 10:46:04] habibi : actually i would say he was totally wrong in many cases
[2016-02-17 10:50:14] habibi : i dont know who beside me but i bet someones do it as well, anyway i don't think its his job. he is rather very dramatic guy in terms of building his position
[2016-02-17 10:52:19] tscha : talking solely about bitmex, I am pretty sure he made a loss here too overall
[2016-02-17 11:07:18] habibi : rapidtrades: hows ur mood?
[2016-02-17 11:09:24] 00Smurf : i know i've made a few blunders getting used to the interface
[2016-02-17 11:10:09] 00Smurf : i closed a small long on a large bid and ended up opening a huge short
[2016-02-17 11:10:37] habibi : yea but u did it once and u were carefull probally( i did as well :P)
[2016-02-17 11:10:57] 00Smurf : tried to buy the short out with a long, but all it did was charge me trading fees
[2016-02-17 11:11:07] habibi : and he did same action at least 3 times on diffrent days, and even at same day few times that aciton so it was intetionally opening long
[2016-02-17 11:11:09] 00Smurf : lol and yes ive been super careful since
[2016-02-17 11:11:23] habibi : short*
[2016-02-17 11:24:39] REKT : Liquidated long on `XBT24H`: Sell 5 @ 413.45
[2016-02-17 11:49:50] jung1 : BitMEX_Wally: which version of bitcoi client will you support?
[2016-02-17 11:55:05] tscha : jung1: they run both clients AFAIK
[2016-02-17 11:56:43] rapidtrades : boom, done and done
[2016-02-17 11:57:22] 00Smurf : the splitting of the clients is dumb
[2016-02-17 11:57:49] tscha : 00Smurf: it is not a split, it's an upgrade
[2016-02-17 11:57:49] 00Smurf : we alsmot ran out of bids on xbt24
[2016-02-17 11:58:07] 00Smurf : your talkign about the classic vs the new one
[2016-02-17 11:58:25] tscha : no; i am talking about classic vs core
[2016-02-17 11:59:12] jung1 : Both? There will be no double spending then?
[2016-02-17 11:59:54] chromaticcr : c'mon, there was originally 32MB in satoshi's version. the liimit doenst really prevent spam
[2016-02-17 12:00:23] tscha : jung1: why would there be double spending?
[2016-02-17 12:00:50] jung1 : Yeah but in couple of years blockchain will be hundreds of gbs
[2016-02-17 12:01:33] chromaticcr : @BitMEX_Wally: Today's trade history on bitmex site is attributed with Text:'Submitted via API.', might be confusing to some user
[2016-02-17 12:01:37] jung1 : Couse if there will be coins generated in current version there could be possibility to move them to both versions
[2016-02-17 12:01:41] rapidtrades : oh look...we're bullish all of a sudden
[2016-02-17 12:01:52] 00Smurf : lol who knew
[2016-02-17 12:02:02] 00Smurf : they stacked asks right at end
[2016-02-17 12:02:09] 00Smurf : then stacked bids 1 min before close
[2016-02-17 12:02:13] 00Smurf : interesting tactic
[2016-02-17 12:02:25] chromaticcr : ;)
[2016-02-17 12:02:41] chromaticcr : you mean the 20k order?
[2016-02-17 12:03:15] tscha : jung1: if there is a split to classic (meaning they will reach 75%), then a 4 week period starts before the fork happens. So by the time the fork activates, 99% (most likely more) miners will run Classic, meaning the other chain can be ignored
[2016-02-17 12:04:55] jung1 : If pools and exchanges will not be on same front there could be some serious dump
[2016-02-17 12:05:14] jung1 : Investors will be not comfortable

[2016-02-17 12:05:48] rapidtrades : when's downtime?
[2016-02-17 12:05:53] ayy lmao : 2 hours?
[2016-02-17 12:05:53] tscha : jung1: exactly the opposite is true.. why do you think the price is rising?
[2016-02-17 12:06:12] j8 : 00Smurf: it's just people trying to close and get maker rebate instead of paying settlement fees
[2016-02-17 12:06:22] jung1 : Couse we stayed too long on one prjce
[2016-02-17 12:06:28] rapidtrades : lol
[2016-02-17 12:06:35] tscha : jung1: I suggest you read those slides: http://www.slideshare.net/BrianArmstrong29/bitcoin-is-not-splitting-in-two-it-is-upgrading-58176110
[2016-02-17 12:06:35] ayy lmao : i think 14:00 - 14:30 UTC
[2016-02-17 12:06:38] 00Smurf : forgive me newb question
[2016-02-17 12:06:42] 00Smurf : but what is maker rebate?
[2016-02-17 12:06:59] jung1 : Thanks I will
[2016-02-17 12:07:07] j8 : 00Smurf: you only pay fees if you hit someone's order, if they hit yours you get paid
[2016-02-17 12:07:41] 00Smurf : ahh
[2016-02-17 12:08:00] 00Smurf : so closing or opening into an exsiting bid, means you pay trade fees
[2016-02-17 12:08:10] j8 : yes
[2016-02-17 12:08:16] jung1 : Yup
[2016-02-17 12:08:21] 00Smurf : whereas if you place a bid or ask and it gets run over so to speak you dont have to pay anything
[2016-02-17 12:08:36] jung1 : Correct
[2016-02-17 12:08:41] tscha : jung1: those slides were even translated into Chinese and posted in major Chinese forums, gaining a lot of attention and support
[2016-02-17 12:09:06] 00Smurf : so they stack bids in the hope that someone will either have a large short to close, or a large long to close and when forced to settle the price will jump up or down into their bids
[2016-02-17 12:09:13] 00Smurf : thank you
[2016-02-17 12:10:35] jung1 : De nada
[2016-02-17 12:11:09] j8 : 00Smurf: yep, they will even bid 10-20 cents above the settlement price (to close if they're long)
[2016-02-17 12:11:15] chromaticcr : @00Smurf have fun finding my fingerprint around http://i.snag.gy/tq3CA.jpg

[2016-02-17 12:17:18] 00Smurf : all it did was take trade fees and kept the short open
[2016-02-17 12:17:43] jung1 : Coll exchange wrote in c++, really fast but owner run away with some coins
[2016-02-17 12:18:20] jung1 : 00Smurf: Try on testnet first beforu you put real coins

[2016-02-17 12:19:32] 00Smurf : and opened a massive short, because it used the whole amount
[2016-02-17 12:19:42] 00Smurf : not my intention

[2016-02-17 13:51:45] BitMEX_Sam : Just an FYI, as per the email we sent around, we'll be taking the engine and webservers down very shortly for maintenance.
[2016-02-17 13:52:14] arbitrage001 : for how long?
[2016-02-17 13:53:45] BitMEX_Arthur : No longer than 30 min
[2016-02-17 13:54:01] BitMEX_Sam : Likely shorter, but this is technology - plan for the worst.

[2016-02-17 14:17:07] BitMEX_Sam : Almost done - will announce before the engine unsuspends.
[2016-02-17 14:23:29] BitMEX_Sam : We'll be unsuspending the engine in just a moment.
[2016-02-17 14:23:39] BitMEX_Sam : We're back.
[2016-02-17 14:24:33] tscha : A+ communication
[2016-02-17 14:25:31] Mangalica : yay
[2016-02-17 14:26:54] BitMEX_Sam : Just a postmortem; the cause for the maintenance at such short notice was https://googleonlinesecurity.blogspot.com/2016/02/cve-2015-7547-glibc-getaddrinfo-stack.html
[2016-02-17 14:27:34] BitMEX_Sam : While we don't believe that an exploit yet exists that can bypass ASLR, that doesn't mean that it doesn't. So we've patched and restarted every BitMEX system as glibc is core to just about everything.
[2016-02-17 14:27:59] habibi : good for u guys
[2016-02-17 14:28:04] habibi : better save then sorry
[2016-02-17 14:28:17] tscha : haha, was just reading the article
[2016-02-17 14:29:49] BitMEX_Sam : Yeah. Yet another critical exploit; goes to show how extremely difficult security is.
[2016-02-17 14:40:03] sleger : BitMEX_Sam: why is the ref price so different there : http://www.ig.com/sg/ig-indices/china-a50
[2016-02-17 14:41:27] sleger : it's also different there : http://www.investing.com/indices/china-a50
[2016-02-17 14:43:21] BitMEX_Wally : sleger: Different CFD providers skew their quotes differently?
[2016-02-17 14:43:57] j8 : `[No Controlled Risk, Due to restrictions that exist on trading stocks in the index, IG’s price may differ from the underlying index price.]`
[2016-02-17 14:43:58] sleger : i have no idea i havent looked into why as i thought you may have the answer
[2016-02-17 14:44:20] j8 : ^ from the IG site
[2016-02-17 14:44:25] BitMEX_Wally : IG might be quoting the underlying index
[2016-02-17 14:44:26] sleger : where is the official a50 price ?
[2016-02-17 14:44:40] BitMEX_Arthur : You mean the cash?
[2016-02-17 14:44:46] sleger : cash or fut
[2016-02-17 14:45:05] BitMEX_Arthur : https://www.google.com/finance?cid=12989177
[2016-02-17 14:45:15] BitMEX_Arthur : That's the cash index close as of 17 Feb
[2016-02-17 14:47:04] sleger : http://www.bloomberg.com/quote/XU1:IND is that good for future price?
[2016-02-17 14:47:22] BitMEX_Wally : lockhedge: No comment
[2016-02-17 14:47:34] sleger : or http://www.investing.com/indices/china-a50 ?
[2016-02-17 14:47:55] BitMEX_Wally : The bloomberg link is the futures
[2016-02-17 14:48:00] BitMEX_Wally : investing com also has the futures too
[2016-02-17 14:48:08] BitMEX_Wally : http://www.investing.com/indices/china-a50?cid=104393
[2016-02-17 14:48:41] sleger : What is the difference between http://www.investing.com/indices/china-a50?cid=104393 and http://www.investing.com/indices/china-a50 ?
[2016-02-17 14:48:54] lockhedge : BitMEX_Wally: no comment on your official contract specs?
[2016-02-17 14:49:07] BitMEX_Wally : lockhedge: It is marked to the SGX future price
[2016-02-17 14:49:16] BitMEX_Wally : sleger: One is a random CFD the other is the SGX future price
[2016-02-17 14:49:51] sleger : understood, you're right. Thanks
[2016-02-17 14:52:42] tscha : the thing I like most about bitcoin/cryptos is the free and direct access to markets
[2016-02-17 14:55:23] ctpact : BitMEX_Wally: thats the simbol of A50 into tradingview site I can use? I cannot find it...
[2016-02-17 14:55:55] BitMEX_Wally : ctpact: No idea, tradingview randomly change symbols
[2016-02-17 14:56:03] BitMEX_Wally : For example XBT24H becomes XBT1D on their site...
[2016-02-17 14:56:56] BitMEX_Wally : This uses TradingView chart library for the SGX price: http://www.investing.com/indices/china-a50-chart?cid=104393
[2016-02-17 14:59:28] lockhedge : BitMEX_Wally: how do you mark the price when SGX is closed?
[2016-02-17 15:00:07] BitMEX_Wally : We may use some form of impact mid price marking
[2016-02-17 15:00:15] BitMEX_Wally : Or use a NYSE ETF
[2016-02-17 15:03:30] ctpact : how to trade without chart :)
[2016-02-17 15:04:36] j8 : use the force
[2016-02-17 15:04:53] habibi : tbh i never used chart of futures here
[2016-02-17 15:05:07] j8 : switch off your targeting computer
[2016-02-17 15:05:48] ctpact : so this is the same ? http://invst.ly/13l5x
[2016-02-17 15:07:43] ctpact : or that one? http://invst.ly/13l89
[2016-02-17 15:08:08] ctpact : completely different
[2016-02-17 15:13:09] BitMEX_Arthur : That is a futures contract @ctpact
[2016-02-17 15:13:36] BitMEX_Arthur : The underlying index, which we settle do on expiry date is this https://www.google.com/finance?cid=12989177
[2016-02-17 15:14:01] BitMEX_Arthur : While the SGX future is open, which is the most liquid instrument tracking this index, we mark to that
[2016-02-17 15:14:15] ctpact : yes I know but can you tell me how I can find proper chart :)
[2016-02-17 15:14:39] BitMEX_Arthur : Try the SGX website, or interactive brokers
[2016-02-17 15:15:44] BitMEX_Arthur : http://sgx.com/wps/portal/sgxweb/home/products/derivatives/financials/equity-index/chinaa50
[2016-02-17 15:29:15] sleger : so the fair basis for a50 is not adjusted by hand ?
[2016-02-17 15:30:45] BitMEX_Wally : sleger: It could be, but fair basis over what?
[2016-02-17 15:30:58] BitMEX_Wally : The underlying market is only open for 6 hours
[2016-02-17 15:50:09] sleger : so outside of the open hours, the fair price is manually adjusted to match the market price on bitmex?
[2016-02-17 15:50:28] BitMEX_Wally : Yes
[2016-02-17 15:52:59] tscha : BitMEX_Wally: but your intial market makers are external right?
[2016-02-17 15:53:10] BitMEX_Wally : Yes
[2016-02-17 15:53:52] tscha : btw, do any bitmex employees trade with private accounts here in their free time?
[2016-02-17 15:55:24] BitMEX_Sam : No - we trade on Testnet and occasionally put in test orders here during maintenance
[2016-02-17 15:55:53] tscha : Okay, glad to hear. I know that employees at finex did trade on their own exchange and I found that worrying somehow
[2016-02-17 15:58:28] BitMEX_Wally : We require everyone to trade on testnet. Dog fooding as Microsoft would call it

[2016-02-17 18:58:36] djuan : rapidtrades: are you from the uk?
[2016-02-17 18:59:41] djuan : just cos u keep using the word pleb
[2016-02-17 19:02:20] djuan : which is used usually by ordinary working class people in a derogatory manner. And i always find it funny how the definition of pleb is an ordinary person from particularly from the working or working class social order
[2016-02-17 19:03:09] rapidtrades : pleb is the new newb, pleb
[2016-02-17 19:03:50] djuan : tell that to the dictionary
[2016-02-17 19:04:48] rapidtrades : http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pleb
[2016-02-17 19:06:41] djuan : yeah that urban dictionary uses more colourful language. probably to appeal to plebs.
[2016-02-17 19:07:01] djuan : learning is fun
[2016-02-17 19:07:10] lockhedge : prolly yes
[2016-02-17 19:08:41] rapidtrades : djuan: still long pleb?

[2016-02-17 19:12:30] djuan : lol that was my attempt at slang.
[2016-02-17 19:13:04] djuan : too plebby? you must be upper class pleb

[2016-02-17 19:16:48] rapidtrades : djuan: im short on that one but very small
[2016-02-17 19:16:57] rapidtrades : testing amount
[2016-02-17 19:17:40] djuan : that can't be working out for ya. when did you put a short order in? now?
[2016-02-17 19:17:56] djuan : i went long yesterday and I'm laughing
[2016-02-17 19:18:02] rapidtrades : down $3 now...had it on for a while...was short march before
[2016-02-17 19:21:10] djuan : why short when the market is bullish?
[2016-02-17 19:21:23] rapidtrades : i see it's gone up $65 while spot is up $45
[2016-02-17 19:21:58] rapidtrades : should prolly adjust it at some point...
[2016-02-17 19:22:09] rapidtrades : anyone shorting these for premium? when/how do u adjust?
[2016-02-17 19:23:11] rapidtrades : djuan: i said above it's a test
[2016-02-17 19:23:25] justinlooking : premium is subjective
[2016-02-17 19:34:56] justinlooking : charts seem to have bug when interval set to 24h. on load, the current candle has stale data until a trade triggers a candle update. 6h seems unaffeced
[2016-02-17 19:34:59] justinlooking : *ted
[2016-02-17 19:35:23] rapidtrades : charts have been buggy since i got here months ago
[2016-02-17 19:38:03] REKT : Liquidated long on `XBT24H`: Sell 3124 @ 417.21
[2016-02-17 19:46:15] peasant-wizard : Are OCO orders live?
[2016-02-17 19:46:56] lockhedge : yes
[2016-02-17 19:48:19] peasant-wizard : Are they on by default - if I have a stop and a limit do they pair automatically? I don't see anything OCO in the order controls
[2016-02-17 19:48:51] habibi : peasant-wizard: patient is what u need dear wizard
[2016-02-17 19:48:59] lockhedge : you have to use the API peasant-wizard: https://www.bitmex.com/api/explorer/#!/Order/Order_new see parameter `contingencyType``
[2016-02-17 19:50:38] peasant-wizard : Thanks! Looks a bit out of my league for the moment but excellent nonetheless
[2016-02-17 19:51:48] peasant-wizard : habibi: Are you inferring that there are plans for oco on the front end?
[2016-02-17 19:52:05] habibi : lockhedge: is oco implemented on new ui?
[2016-02-17 20:00:34] lockhedge : habibi: can't find it on testnet, i guess UI implementation takes more time.
[2016-02-17 20:08:16] rapidtrades : so is okc usd now gonna trade at a premium all the time?
[2016-02-17 20:08:38] Swedishnut : could be a sign of weakening dollar?
[2016-02-17 20:09:07] rapidtrades : no
[2016-02-17 20:09:32] rapidtrades : premium compared to finex and rest of usd market
[2016-02-17 20:13:15] rapidtrades : Swedishnut: how are u man? haven't been around
[2016-02-17 20:21:59] BitMEX_Sam : Re: OCO, we'll be implementing a bunch of new order types on the frontend very soon
[2016-02-17 20:22:20] BitMEX_Sam : Testnet has Market/Stop Market, which we've resisted for a while but are finally making it in
[2016-02-17 20:22:29] BitMEX_Sam : As well as hidden orders & post-only orders
[2016-02-17 20:23:15] BitMEX_Sam : Soon we'll do Stop Loss / Take Profit via OCO, and an Entry Order / Stop Loss / Take Profit type via a combination of OCO and OTO
[2016-02-17 20:23:20] BitMEX_Sam : As well as Trailing Stops
[2016-02-17 20:23:55] BitMEX_Sam : Technically the API allows you to do very complex OTO/OCO combinations, as well as OUO (One Updates the Other)
[2016-02-17 20:24:27] BitMEX_Sam : The new UI will launch tomorrow after settlement. Would be very happy to know any of your thoughts on Testnet as I do the final polishing.
[2016-02-17 20:26:15] REKT : Liquidated long on `ETH7D`: Sell 200 @ 0.00910
[2016-02-17 20:30:56] peasant-wizard : BitMEX_Sam: Appreciate the information. Amazing work
[2016-02-17 20:32:08] BitMEX_Sam : :) Thanks - we want BitMEX to be the undisputed technology leader in Bitcoin exchanges.
[2016-02-17 20:43:55] lockhedge : BitMEX_Sam: new UI looks and feels great, still prefer the dark&advanced theme, great that you keep the option
[2016-02-17 20:44:43] lockhedge : horizontal navigation definitely makes sense
[2016-02-17 20:49:18] Libertyrisk : What restrictions are there right now for people based in US?
[2016-02-17 20:51:49] BitMEX_Sam : Libertyrisk: Ah, sorry I forgot to respond to you from earlier.
[2016-02-17 20:52:03] Libertyrisk : No worries I just logged back in
[2016-02-17 20:52:05] BitMEX_Sam : Right now we don't accept any US customers. You may trade on Testnet and chat here, but we cannot allow deposits or trades.
[2016-02-17 20:52:42] BitMEX_Sam : lockhedge: Yeah, I'm personally a big fan of the dark theme.
[2016-02-17 20:52:50] Libertyrisk : Due to CFTC ruling last year?
[2016-02-17 20:53:29] BitMEX_Sam : I can't comment on our reasons, unfortunately.
[2016-02-17 20:54:59] Libertyrisk : no worries
[2016-02-17 20:55:43] Libertyrisk : land of the free!
[2016-02-17 20:55:46] Libertyrisk : good luck with everything
[2016-02-17 21:12:43] BitMEX_Sam : Thanks Libertyrisk - have a good one.
[2016-02-17 21:13:42] DareDevil : Wow...ETH taking a big hit
[2016-02-17 21:14:08] jesperf : what comes up must come down
[2016-02-17 21:14:16] DareDevil : indeed...shorters are happy now
[2016-02-17 21:14:32] jesperf : unfortunately, i'm a sharter
[2016-02-17 21:15:23] DareDevil : ?
[2016-02-17 21:17:13] jesperf : too close to liquidation for comfort :P
[2016-02-17 21:17:51] DareDevil : heheh
[2016-02-17 21:37:51] habibi : BitMEX_Sam: trading altcoins here is best thing ever, would love if u would occasionally add some high volume coins for some time
[2016-02-17 21:38:14] BitMEX_Sam : habibi: Absolutely, we're not at all opposed to that - issue is that volume very quickly comes and goes
