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.

[2016-04-24 01:09:44] rapidtrades : not sure we'll break this but we're headed there for sure
[2016-04-24 01:09:47] rapidtrades : just imo
[2016-04-24 01:09:59] micmix : $27 on inverse futures is a decent premium
[2016-04-24 01:10:26] rapidtrades : until it quotes >$500 not interested
[2016-04-24 01:10:46] sleger : rapidtrades: thats because you think spot goes to 500
[2016-04-24 01:10:58] sleger : not that convinced
[2016-04-24 01:11:04] rapidtrades : can't hedge it anyway....would have to buy finex and its way too expensive
[2016-04-24 01:11:12] sleger : buy btce
[2016-04-24 01:11:19] rapidtrades : full
[2016-04-24 01:11:24] micmix : okc looks similar to Nov. p&d looking at open value and top positions
[2016-04-24 01:11:45] rapidtrades : only keep a small % of my $ on btc-e and i'm fully long there
[2016-04-24 01:13:10] micmix : btw, the index here will be much better next week. if you are using index in your bots I would recommend to calculate it yourself, Kaiko is slow
[2016-04-24 01:13:41] micmix : slow even for bitcoin, updated every 5 seconds or so
[2016-04-24 01:15:17] micmix : looks like a good time to short XBTU16 IMHO
[2016-04-24 01:15:30] sleger : sept ? risky ...
[2016-04-24 01:15:58] rapidtrades : im short a small amount there and on june
[2016-04-24 01:16:24] rapidtrades : both testing size, to learn how to manage
[2016-04-24 01:17:18] j8 : long june since 40% p.a.
[2016-04-24 01:17:57] wurstgelee : long june since 466 ;)
[2016-04-24 01:18:13] micmix : a bit risky but you can build a bigger position in 60%-80% fair basis range
[2016-04-24 01:18:44] rapidtrades : im short june since 539 :)
[2016-04-24 01:18:48] micmix : usually the premium doesn't stay at 80%+ for long
[2016-04-24 01:19:11] rapidtrades : idk...it was at 80 until 2 months ago
[2016-04-24 01:19:53] j8 : if its 80%+ and the price isn't moving then you're happy to be short, it's great carry
[2016-04-24 01:20:30] rapidtrades : yeah you'd think that but sept for example barely moved while the premium on june plummeted so
[2016-04-24 01:20:50] rapidtrades : it prolly decays faster as we get closer
[2016-04-24 01:21:34] rapidtrades : or doesn't decay at all until we get closer to expiration idk...these markets are weird
[2016-04-24 01:21:42] j8 : yeah i thought the selling on june was pretty irrational
[2016-04-24 01:21:59] micmix : volatility is still relatively low
[2016-04-24 01:22:32] j8 : for sure, unusually low and i wouldn't bet on it staying that way
[2016-04-24 01:23:07] sleger : with halving coming, shorting quantos is risky
[2016-04-24 01:24:07] rapidtrades : how do u guys manage the shorts during rallies? do u close parts as we go up or add longs?
[2016-04-24 01:24:29] rentchev : I use stops
[2016-04-24 01:24:40] rentchev : if the trade did not work get out
[2016-04-24 01:25:01] rapidtrades : talking about collecting premium....
[2016-04-24 01:25:27] rentchev : oh
[2016-04-24 01:26:00] sleger : i knew thats what you were after ;) @rapidtrades
[2016-04-24 01:26:06] rentchev : are you trying to do a spread?
[2016-04-24 01:26:11] j8 : rapidtrades: on the quarterlies it's hard to get out fast so you pretty much have to commit
[2016-04-24 01:26:25] rapidtrades : fair point
[2016-04-24 01:26:34] j8 : build long term positions
[2016-04-24 01:26:56] rapidtrades : also if u liked a $20 premium u'll love $30 amirite
[2016-04-24 01:26:58] rapidtrades : kekeke
[2016-04-24 01:27:28] j8 : yeah your pnl goes down but your carry goes up :)
[2016-04-24 01:27:41] sleger : and then you get rekt :D
[2016-04-24 01:27:46] sleger : at the top
[2016-04-24 01:27:55] micmix : sleger: I agree, halving is a big unknown. My gut feeling says that it's not going to have as large effect as people think but trading on gut feeling is not a good strategy
[2016-04-24 01:28:32] sleger : micmix: halving + code change in bitcoin + ethereum etc...
[2016-04-24 01:28:40] rapidtrades : we're in the middle of the last halving rally imo
[2016-04-24 01:29:01] rapidtrades : eth is a headwind tho, not help
[2016-04-24 01:29:55] wurstgelee : it helps a lot
[2016-04-24 01:30:14] rapidtrades : it helps my bank account that's for sure
[2016-04-24 01:30:40] rapidtrades : shorting it
[2016-04-24 01:30:49] sleger : helps pop some Dom when you dont need it

[2016-04-24 04:38:01] Cryptolicious : why the big spread on eth
[2016-04-24 04:38:41] rentchev : there is a big spread on XBT7D as well
[2016-04-24 04:38:47] rentchev : not sure what's going on
[2016-04-24 04:39:00] rentchev : anyone from BitMEX here?

[2016-04-24 10:26:25] wurstgelee : ha =)
[2016-04-24 10:27:00] wurstgelee : unrealised PNL should be green. working strategy for me :p
[2016-04-24 10:27:21] habibi : buy low, sell higher is pretty good simple strategy as well
[2016-04-24 10:27:43] wurstgelee : unless u short
[2016-04-24 10:27:52] wurstgelee : well..then its no buying..nvm
[2016-04-24 10:27:55] wurstgelee : oO
[2016-04-24 10:28:21] habibi : then sell high rebuy lower
[2016-04-24 10:30:37] wurstgelee : to generalize: long bullsih markets. short bearish markets.
[2016-04-24 10:30:40] wurstgelee : simple as that
[2016-04-24 10:30:41] wurstgelee : :D
[2016-04-24 10:32:38] rapidtrades : its raining
[2016-04-24 10:32:52] mrp1nk : money?
[2016-04-24 10:33:03] rapidtrades : keke
[2016-04-24 10:33:18] mrp1nk : that last week was great
[2016-04-24 10:33:19] rapidtrades : u can never have enough on when ur winning
[2016-04-24 10:35:20] rapidtrades : heavy selling on finex :(
[2016-04-24 10:46:38] giovannicontini : What a fall O.o
[2016-04-24 10:47:10] giovannicontini : Time to buy low?
[2016-04-24 10:55:47] giovannicontini : Guess it was lol
[2016-04-24 11:10:13] Samirum : rapidtrades: Heavy selling for what? Btc or eth
[2016-04-24 11:14:56] mrp1nk : ofc btc @Samirum
[2016-04-24 12:06:23] giovannicontini : Can't I set an execution price for when I buy?
[2016-04-24 12:06:52] giovannicontini : Every time I buy 10000 contracts at once he executes the order with 2 extra dollars per btc
[2016-04-24 12:07:06] habibi : limit order?
[2016-04-24 12:07:11] habibi : or u just do market buys?
[2016-04-24 12:07:20] giovannicontini : Market buys
[2016-04-24 12:07:28] habibi : why? market order...
[2016-04-24 12:07:32] habibi : limit i mean*
[2016-04-24 12:08:41] giovannicontini : I mean, Mark price is 454, if I buy 10k contracts he executes order at 456, if I do 1k every 30 seconds for 10 times he executes at much less
[2016-04-24 12:09:07] habibi : there is something called orderbook.. pretty useful stuff imo
[2016-04-24 12:09:23] habibi : http://scr.hu/9xvi/h8ovj
[2016-04-24 12:10:01] giovannicontini : How stupid of me ahahaha
[2016-04-24 12:10:05] giovannicontini : Thanks man
[2016-04-24 12:10:13] giovannicontini : Or thanks habibi
[2016-04-24 12:10:22] giovannicontini : Love your nickname
[2016-04-24 12:11:04] habibi : Habibi حبيبتى (female), is an Arabic word used to describe someone the speaker likes or loves. A close English counterpart is "my darling" or "sweetie". The phrase is also very popular in the Hebrew language as part of slang.
[2016-04-24 12:11:21] aethlios : giovannicontini: you also receive positive fees if a limit order gets filled, check fees status.
[2016-04-24 12:12:46] giovannicontini : habibi: yeah, that's the only Arabic I know apart from Salam allium :)
[2016-04-24 12:13:00] giovannicontini : aethlios: where do I check that?
[2016-04-24 12:13:34] aethlios : giovannicontini: https://www.bitmex.com/app/fees
[2016-04-24 12:14:28] giovannicontini : aethlios: oh yeah right, thanks
[2016-04-24 12:18:02] habibi : Bitmex_guys could u push up eth mm to come back to orderbook?
[2016-04-24 12:27:54] hitme1 : giovannicontini: the only arabic i know is sharmoota
[2016-04-24 13:50:28] habibi : bitmex i think its time to pull back ltc here for few weeks
[2016-04-24 13:58:19] mrp1nk : ^ this @Bitmex
[2016-04-24 13:59:30] BombaUcigasa : Do it now before it's too late, like with FCT
[2016-04-24 14:00:07] sleger : it is too late
[2016-04-24 14:01:49] habibi : maybe for long, maybe not for short
[2016-04-24 14:07:28] sleger : not with the standard 7D contract
[2016-04-24 14:10:38] BitMEX_Wally : If ETHXBT trades well we might launch LTCXBT
[2016-04-24 14:11:01] rapidtrades : well pulling ltc wasn't a good idea at all
[2016-04-24 14:12:17] habibi : Wally so u wanna risk possible ruining eth contracts that had the highest volume for weeks when there was nothing happening on btc ?
[2016-04-24 14:14:18] rapidtrades : whats going on with eth contracts?
[2016-04-24 14:14:25] rapidtrades : are they gonna change em
[2016-04-24 14:14:56] habibi : yea into that new swap contract type or whatever it called, rebalances everyday and so
[2016-04-24 14:15:17] rapidtrades : wat.....
[2016-04-24 14:16:49] rapidtrades : bitmex have u heard the saying ''IF IT WORKS DON'T F%CKING CHANGE IT''
[2016-04-24 14:17:26] BitMEX_Wally : `XLT7D` was not working, no-one was trading it
[2016-04-24 14:17:42] habibi : i think it is about eth :(
[2016-04-24 14:18:02] REKT : Liquidated long on `XBT24H`: Sell 18 @ 453.94
[2016-04-24 14:18:13] rapidtrades : this is like the new UI scandal all over again
[2016-04-24 14:18:17] REKT : Liquidated long on `XBT24H`: Sell 15000 @ 453.15 **MEGA-REKT** :boom:
[2016-04-24 14:19:02] REKT : Liquidated long on `XBT24H`: Sell 24 @ 452.55
[2016-04-24 14:19:02] REKT : Liquidated long on `XBT24H`: Sell 10002 @ 452.14
[2016-04-24 14:20:16] BitMEX_Wally : If people prefer a weekly expiring`ETH7D`over a non-expiring `ETHXBT` then we'll keep it around
[2016-04-24 14:21:07] rapidtrades : sleger: nice call on that exit
[2016-04-24 14:21:47] BitMEX_Wally : https://blog.bitmex.com/crypto-trader-digest-apr-18/
[2016-04-24 14:22:54] sleger : i dont like that you are using only one market, for both ref price (that part ok-ish) and daily funding rate (that part not ok)
[2016-04-24 14:23:16] habibi : how big is long market on polo?
[2016-04-24 14:23:27] habibi : 100s of btc or 1000s?
[2016-04-24 14:24:22] sleger : "Buyers of ETHXBT will post Bitcoin as margin, and pay a daily funding rate based on the previous 24 hour average Poloniex Bitcoin offer rate" : dos that mean that when you enter a position you have NO idea what the funding rate will be since it is based on future values ? @BitMEX_Wally
[2016-04-24 14:25:37] rapidtrades : looks like it...that's how spot works
[2016-04-24 14:26:28] rapidtrades : not too happy about those changes...if i want to pay rollover i can trade spot
[2016-04-24 14:27:02] BitMEX_Wally : It's the previous 24 hour snap, so you get at least 24 hours' notice of the funding rate
[2016-04-24 14:27:33] rapidtrades : its also highly problematic that you'll be charging spot swap rates on futures, an undeliverable product
[2016-04-24 14:28:00] mrp1nk : ^ !!!!
[2016-04-24 14:28:06] BitMEX_Wally : It's not a future, it's a total return swap
[2016-04-24 14:28:39] rapidtrades : is it clawback free? what's the leverage?
[2016-04-24 14:28:42] j8 : it's not gonna work unless you can claim your position somehow. you guys could charge a fee to settle a position at the spot price
[2016-04-24 14:29:11] BitMEX_Wally : Current plan is to keep it the same as ETH7D so 25x, DPE, weekly rebalance
[2016-04-24 14:29:35] sleger : BitMEX_Wally: you didnt answer my question ?
[2016-04-24 14:29:59] rapidtrades : ok so both dpe and rollover fees....this means higher fees overall for me as a shorter
[2016-04-24 14:30:02] BitMEX_Wally : Sorry, repeat your question
[2016-04-24 14:30:18] sleger : "Buyers of ETHXBT will post Bitcoin as margin, and pay a daily funding rate based on the previous 24 hour average Poloniex Bitcoin offer rate" : dos that mean that when you enter a position you have NO idea what the funding rate will be since it is based on future values ? @BitMEX_Wally
[2016-04-24 14:30:23] BitMEX_Wally : `22:27 - BitMEX_Wally: It's the previous 24 hour snap, so you get at least 24 hours' notice of the funding rate`
[2016-04-24 14:30:47] sleger : BitMEX_Wally: my bad sorry I completely missed it
[2016-04-24 14:30:51] BitMEX_Wally : rapidtrades: As a shorter you get paid the funding rate
[2016-04-24 14:30:57] OmniQuantDesk : If I have BTC on loan at Polo
[2016-04-24 14:31:04] rapidtrades : BitMEX_Wally: sweet
[2016-04-24 14:31:06] OmniQuantDesk : and I hedge XBTUSD
[2016-04-24 14:31:16] OmniQuantDesk : am I getting double the Polo call rate effectively?
[2016-04-24 14:31:22] OmniQuantDesk : or what would that be based on?
[2016-04-24 14:31:41] OmniQuantDesk : +
[2016-04-24 14:31:42] OmniQuantDesk : ++++++++++++++++++++++++
[2016-04-24 14:31:57] sleger : not very smart question for a "Quant"
[2016-04-24 14:32:18] rapidtrades : quants are not very smart pppl
[2016-04-24 14:32:25] BitMEX_Wally : j8: There isn't a need for a 'claim' option because the weekly rebalance is at the spot price so you get the realised cash flows in your wallet
[2016-04-24 14:32:53] OmniQuantDesk : The question was, what interest rate will be paid to XBT shorts after the transition.
[2016-04-24 14:33:02] j8 : BitMEX_Wally: the contract could trade at a premium, which is unpredictable and doesn't really represent anything
[2016-04-24 14:33:28] habibi : OmniQuantDesk: https://youtu.be/QpsI_Gvn7C8?t=1m57s is that u?
[2016-04-24 14:33:36] BitMEX_Wally : OmniQuantDesk: At the moment we are looking at `ETHXBT` which involves the `XBT` lending rate at Poloniex. For `XBTUSD` we are still deciding how to structure it
[2016-04-24 14:33:48] rapidtrades : im never gonna object to a new contract type but if history showed me anything, its that u'll axe the other one soon
[2016-04-24 14:33:52] j8 : if it's 1% away from spot during a rally, how do i know if thats likely to converge or diverge
[2016-04-24 14:33:54] rapidtrades : so mixed feelings on this one
[2016-04-24 14:34:04] sleger : BitMEX_Wally: why dont you use the same approach and charge finex usd lending rate ?
[2016-04-24 14:34:33] BitMEX_Wally : sleger: Yes, we might look at taking the USD lending rate minus the XBT lending rate, so it is a true swap
[2016-04-24 14:34:47] OmniQuantDesk : the Bitfinex USD rate wouldn't reflect the short-gamma position's risk in shorting XBT
[2016-04-24 14:35:09] sleger : oh boy ...
[2016-04-24 14:35:29] OmniQuantDesk : really if you want a benchmark, you should calculate the theta in woodchipper futures and add some gamma premium
[2016-04-24 14:35:43] OmniQuantDesk : like right now XBT 7D trading about a buck higher than okcoin
[2016-04-24 14:35:48] BitMEX_Wally : We might make `XBTUSD` swap be inverse so there is no quanto effect
[2016-04-24 14:35:51] sleger : by doing this change yes you concentrate liquidity but you remove the ability from people to lock in long term premiums / bets
[2016-04-24 14:36:15] OmniQuantDesk : right you could consolidate all the contracts into a few monolithic liquidity products
[2016-04-24 14:36:15] OmniQuantDesk : however
[2016-04-24 14:36:24] OmniQuantDesk : I think the gamma is what brings the boys to the yard
[2016-04-24 14:36:48] sleger : the leverage is - not the gamma, most people dont understand the first bit of it
[2016-04-24 14:37:29] sleger : BitMEX_Wally: one compromise could be to remove 24, 48h and 7d, abd maybe keep 2 long term quanto futures ?
[2016-04-24 14:37:54] BitMEX_Sam : There would be some built-in evaluation time anyway, as the 30 Sep future is live and would not be removed
[2016-04-24 14:38:02] OmniQuantDesk : I stand to earn a lot of revenue over time by leveraging the theta and delta hedging on cheaper liquidity pairs if there is a trend, but if the reduced complexity helps BitMex succeed then I support it, can just arb the one swap against other exchange's contracts
[2016-04-24 14:38:27] BitMEX_Wally : Yes, we are not going to kill off products if people are trading them
[2016-04-24 14:39:12] j8 : people are just figuring out how to price the 3 month and 6 month. volume on june has picked up a lot
[2016-04-24 14:39:27] OmniQuantDesk : so the time frame is, Eth goes swap soon, XBT subject to revision over the next month or two?
[2016-04-24 14:40:30] BitMEX_Wally : We haven't announced a time frame yet, we want to get `ETHXBT` right first
[2016-04-24 14:41:49] OmniQuantDesk : it's got a more consistent volume

[2016-04-24 17:04:14] rapidtrades : sleger: how is that lol-worthy
[2016-04-24 17:04:34] sleger : cause "yeah if you are trading that many contracts you should probably have a plan"
[2016-04-24 17:04:48] sleger : 200c is not even 1btc
[2016-04-24 17:04:51] rapidtrades : a bot is a plan stupid
[2016-04-24 17:05:09] rapidtrades : or do urs just buy randomly
[2016-04-24 17:05:20] sleger : not just buy : also sells randomly

[2016-04-24 20:00:41] sleger : xbx is a bit overestimated the real price due to stupid methodology
[2016-04-24 20:00:44] sleger : j8: ?

[2016-04-24 20:07:02] rapidtrades : so that gap wont be closing anytime soon
[2016-04-24 20:07:11] habibi : happened many times before, even few days ago
[2016-04-24 20:07:12] sleger : that they wont let too many people borrow btc or usd for leverage
[2016-04-24 20:07:27] j8 : they used up all the customer deposits
[2016-04-24 20:07:35] rapidtrades : sleger: rly? is that what i means
[2016-04-24 20:07:39] habibi : private company is lending on okc
[2016-04-24 20:07:56] rapidtrades : i meant more in the sense of there shouldn't be a cap
[2016-04-24 20:08:00] sleger : rapidtrades: they limit the amount of borrow for margin trading yes
[2016-04-24 20:08:15] sleger : i think its quite responsible from their part to put a cap actually
[2016-04-24 20:08:16] rapidtrades : holy shit dude i know...been using it for years
[2016-04-24 20:08:23] rapidtrades : sleger: not really
[2016-04-24 20:08:32] rapidtrades : 1:3 aint that big
[2016-04-24 20:08:53] rapidtrades : we would have to crash to 300 instantly to make them lose
[2016-04-24 20:09:07] sleger : leverage is not the point
[2016-04-24 20:09:29] sleger : its the total $ of borrow that matters because there wouldnt be enough liquidity in case of cascade collapse
[2016-04-24 20:09:39] sleger : so yes i think its smart of them to limit that
[2016-04-24 20:09:57] rapidtrades : not really, leverage creates liquidty both ways
[2016-04-24 20:10:00] sleger : finex also had 2.5 leverage but suffered crazy margin effects
[2016-04-24 20:10:11] rapidtrades : finex has 3 now
[2016-04-24 20:10:12] sleger : cf when price went from 800 to 100
[2016-04-24 20:10:32] sleger : that's what haD means, it means it was the case and isnt anymore
[2016-04-24 20:10:49] rapidtrades : but 2.5 is less...did u mean 25
[2016-04-24 20:11:10] sleger : i mean that even with 2.5x leverage, this can happen
[2016-04-24 20:11:15] rapidtrades : ah
[2016-04-24 20:11:24] sleger : hence my claim that it's a good thing they limit the total $ amount of leverage on their platform
[2016-04-24 20:11:25] rapidtrades : the counter-factual argument
[2016-04-24 20:11:47] rapidtrades : i could argue that the higher leverage brought more stability
[2016-04-24 20:11:59] sleger : because you said "rapidtrades: 1:3 aint that big" im showing that even with less than 3 it can have bad effects

[2016-04-24 20:30:08] arbitrage001 : rich is when you can buy anything you want
[2016-04-24 20:30:21] arbitrage001 : wealthy is when you can buy the whole world
[2016-04-24 20:30:34] rapidtrades : rich idk....maybe >500k excluding ur primary residence
[2016-04-24 20:30:38] habibi : Sleger The Wealthy Muslim is that type
[2016-04-24 20:30:49] arbitrage001 : so, if you are a simple person with simple need, you are already rich
[2016-04-24 20:31:04] giovannicontini : Then I am rich and stupid lol
[2016-04-24 20:31:11] giovannicontini : But I agree with arbitrage001
[2016-04-24 20:31:23] giovannicontini : Really rich people are happy regardless of what they own

[2016-04-24 20:34:09] arbitrage001 : wont short if pa less than 80%
[2016-04-24 20:34:29] rapidtrades : that's a good metric too
[2016-04-24 20:36:40] rapidtrades : sept already at 75%
[2016-04-24 20:37:37] arbitrage001 : yes
[2016-04-24 20:38:02] giovannicontini : rapidtrades: social networks, made equivalent of Italian 9gag
[2016-04-24 20:38:02] arbitrage001 : so even if you lose money this mnth, next few months should still be ok
[2016-04-24 20:38:08] rapidtrades : we're at major resistance now imo....if we break higher shit's gonna blow
[2016-04-24 20:54:38] rapidtrades : sleger: hey what's a good ROI for selling options
[2016-04-24 20:55:23] rapidtrades : i've been doing some backtests and its not looking good on a risk adjusted basis
[2016-04-24 20:55:32] REKT : Liquidated short on `XBTM16`: Buy 23217 @ 520.30 **MEGA-REKT** :boom:
[2016-04-24 20:56:16] rapidtrades : RIP arbitrage001 :(
[2016-04-24 20:57:10] arbitrage001 : lol not me
[2016-04-24 21:01:00] sleger : rapidtrades: that option question does not make sense, it depends what it actually cost you to sell an option
[2016-04-24 21:05:01] rapidtrades : i think it makes perfect sense...how does the typical risk profile look? average roi vs max DD for example
[2016-04-24 21:06:23] sleger : roi means return on investment, what is the "investment" when you sell an option
[2016-04-24 21:06:35] sleger : be back in 10
[2016-04-24 21:07:05] rapidtrades : roi per annum
[2016-04-24 21:08:13] rapidtrades : the figures I'm getting are like 1/10....meaning to make $1000 per annum you'll have to endure a max DD of $10,000
[2016-04-24 21:08:33] rapidtrades : this is only in past 8 years, likely to be worse as u include more data
[2016-04-24 21:21:33] sleger : ok so not ROI, but return over DD
[2016-04-24 21:22:58] sleger : I get something like 1000/2500
[2016-04-24 21:23:07] sleger : over 4-5y
[2016-04-24 21:23:50] sleger : but have you looked at actual capital requirements to short an option ?
[2016-04-24 21:29:38] arbitrage001 : 100 times leverage same as here
[2016-04-24 21:30:09] arbitrage001 : isnt this standard for all broker?

[2016-04-24 22:48:48] habibi : where?
[2016-04-24 22:49:00] mrp1nk : miramm1115: not trading the 24h atm
[2016-04-24 22:49:01] habibi : ah k
[2016-04-24 22:49:56] mrp1nk : remembers me of new guy
[2016-04-24 22:50:16] miramm1115 : stop hunting doesn't work here, stops are triggered by mark price
[2016-04-24 22:50:57] miramm1115 : you can lower the mark price but it's expensive
[2016-04-24 22:51:58] mrp1nk : it's enough margin call the isolated 100x positions
[2016-04-24 23:35:21] zanza : also the liquidations are taken over by the house
[2016-04-24 23:41:32] sleger : not sure what you think you mean by that but no they are not
[2016-04-24 23:48:54] 1QaZxSw2 : how would someone "stop hunt" if they could afford it? do you mean dump a bunch of market orders to cause a stop-cascade? wouldn't it be counter productive when it hits a big order on the other side causing whipsaw?
[2016-04-24 23:49:17] 1QaZxSw2 : is stop-hunt anything more than trader mythology?
[2016-04-24 23:51:42] mrp1nk : - / yes / not sure / no
[2016-04-24 23:52:10] sleger : yes
