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.

[2016-06-05 02:29:35] micmix : 1QaZxSw2: read the blog post that Wally linked, you shouldn't just short bc the price could pop at any time [2016-06-05 02:29:37] ggwp : seems fairly low [2016-06-05 02:29:53] ggwp : in general [2016-06-05 02:29:55] 1QaZxSw2 : right, thanks [2016-06-05 02:30:00] ggwp : compared to the previous one [2016-06-05 02:32:49] BitMEX_Wally : If you have dollars you can go long Bitcoin on a spot exchange and then short XBTUSD here.

[2016-06-05 02:34:44] BitMEX_Wally : Each contract is worth 1 USD, so if the price is 585 you can short 58500 contracts at 1x leverage [2016-06-05 02:35:20] 1QaZxSw2 : thats sweet. and i would get whatever bitfinex interest rate is [2016-06-05 02:35:38] BitMEX_Wally : Yes, and you don't need to keep all 100 coins on BitMEX. Keep them safe in cold storage and just put 5% or so on here [2016-06-05 02:36:24] micmix : but you have to understand that you will not gain anything when bitcoin goes up [2016-06-05 02:37:22] micmix : basically you will lock the current USD value of your coins plus earn interest [2016-06-05 02:37:26] ggwp : BitMEX_Wally: do you see my deposit yet?

[2016-06-05 02:41:43] micmix : 1QaZxSw2: stop orders are on mark price [2016-06-05 02:42:03] 1QaZxSw2 : what? so i could be stopped out and i wont even know why [2016-06-05 02:42:32] 24hourz : yeah [2016-06-05 02:42:44] 1QaZxSw2 : im guessing they have something to smooth out blips in the mark price [2016-06-05 02:42:54] 24hourz : Could we have the option to go off the last price ? [2016-06-05 02:43:12] 1QaZxSw2 : i think it would screw up their risk management if they did [2016-06-05 02:43:54] 24hourz : it could be done with bots ? It shouldn't mess it up if it is just a stop loss right ? [2016-06-05 02:45:16] 1QaZxSw2 : so many prices: last price, fair price, mark price. [2016-06-05 02:46:02] ggwp : here we go, drop the bass [2016-06-05 02:46:22] 1QaZxSw2 : i see, so thats why if i buy at 574 and the price moves to 575, it still shows -ve ROE [2016-06-05 02:46:48] 1QaZxSw2 : however, if you sell at 575, you get a profit? [2016-06-05 02:47:07] 1QaZxSw2 : or should exit price go above mark price [2016-06-05 02:47:44] ggwp : major selloff on the way :D [2016-06-05 02:47:53] 1QaZxSw2 : good call there ggwp [2016-06-05 02:48:01] 1QaZxSw2 : im out of all but 1000 contracts [2016-06-05 02:48:48] ggwp : nice [2016-06-05 02:48:55] ggwp : you won't regret [2016-06-05 02:49:05] BitMEX_Wally : 24hourz: You can set a stop order that is triggered by last price using the API [2016-06-05 02:49:34] BitMEX_Wally : send `execInst=LastPrice` [2016-06-05 02:50:35] 1QaZxSw2 : great, will the lastprice stop be available on UI? [2016-06-05 02:50:54] BitMEX_Wally : Yes, we might make it the default too [2016-06-05 02:51:02] rentchev : @ggwp why do you think major sell off is coming?
