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.

But there are def. a couple of things I could do without. The 8 hr interest is one, and it is brutal. I'll likely start researching other exchanges soon, but I have a feeling there will be other aspects that suck. Aside from the 8 hr interest charges, 1/day withdrawals, and daily rebalancing, I'm pretty happy with this exchange. And the mods that frequent this chat are pretty responsive and helpful.

Is the funding the "Fee" or "Amount" column? [2016-06-30 23:59:43] d_ : BitMEX_Sam: Negative funding rate is shorts paying longs, right? Referring to ETHXBT, in particular. [2016-07-01 00:00:06] dharmabum : BitMEX_Sam: Are the last 3 CashRebalances correct? They all cover the current short position. [2016-07-01 00:00:37] BitMEX_Sam : dharmabum: It's the fee column on the trade history. [2016-07-01 00:01:12] BitMEX_Sam : d_: Yes, negative funding means shorts pay longs [2016-07-01 00:01:22] dharmabum : BitMEX_Sam: Hmm. My Fee column shows zeros all the way fown forever.

[2016-07-01 00:04:30] BitMEX_Sam : It's the amount paid [2016-07-01 00:04:34] BitMEX_Sam : If you paid a negative amount, you received money [2016-07-01 00:04:54] subjective : When I hold XBTUSD and eTHXBT [2016-07-01 00:05:02] dharmabum : BitMEX_Sam: I must be conflating things. In the wallet Transaction History I'm getting nailed on CashRebalance. Could you be so kind as to summarise why I'm confused about this? Thank you! [2016-07-01 00:05:29] BitMEX_Sam : If you're seeing debits that means that your trades during that period lost money [2016-07-01 00:06:05] dharmabum : BitMEX_Sam: For a single open position? I have a current hedge in place that is bleeding currency, correct? [2016-07-01 00:06:15] subjective : if I have two position XBT and ETH with same value of contract, do they cancel each others funding because one is positive and other negative.? [2016-07-01 00:06:41] BitMEX_Arthur : dharmabum: Give me a minute I'm looking at your account [2016-07-01 00:07:08] BitMEX_Greg : subjective: It depends on the funding amount on each product. Normally XBTUSD funding will not be the same as the ETHXBT funding [2016-07-01 00:07:59] dharmabum : BitMEX_Arthur: Thanks Arthur. Basically I have a BTC hedge in place. My current understanding is that the CashRebalances are realised profit/loss on current position. [2016-07-01 00:08:44] subjective : BitMEX_Greg: let's say 1btc with at 5x for each position. BTC funding at 0.025% ETH at -0.49% [2016-07-01 00:10:22] BitMEX_Arthur : dharmabum: You are short XBTUSD, you have a negative cash rebalance because the market is rising so you are losing money on that position [2016-07-01 00:10:51] subjective : BitMEX_Greg: looks like it cancel each other out [2016-07-01 00:12:07] subjective : BitMEX_Greg: actually receive some funding on the ETH position, if funding rate is mostly negative correlate with 2 coins. Then holding both reduce funding fees [2016-07-01 00:12:11] BitMEX_Arthur : However, because you are short you are receiving funding because at the last funding time the rate was +0.1988% meaning as a short holder you received a funding payment [2016-07-01 00:12:25] BitMEX_Arthur : dharmabum: does that make sense? [2016-07-01 00:12:41] Zen Trader : rektt [2016-07-01 00:13:29] BitMEX_Greg : subjective: We don't net the funding, we reserve the position level at the current moment [2016-07-01 00:14:29] dharmabum : BitMEX_Arthur: I think so. I just need to work out if I'm correctly hedged. If I am, the hedge losses should be perfectly balanced against the appreciation of the equivalent amount of XBTUSD (when the hedge was entered). Is my understanding right? [2016-07-01 00:15:06] dharmabum : BitMEX_Arthur: Actually, given the hedge is short XBTUSD, it should actually make a very small amount as long as funding is negative. [2016-07-01 00:15:07] BitMEX_Arthur : Yes if you went long 1 Bitcoin at $100, and shorted 100 XBTUSD at $100 you will always have $100 worth of Bitcoin as the price goes up or down [2016-07-01 00:15:20] BitMEX_Arthur : Yes the funding will be a small profit to you [2016-07-01 00:15:27] BitMEX_Arthur : Assuming shorts are receiving [2016-07-01 00:16:36] dharmabum : BitMEX_Arthur: Understand. And if I remove the hedge, take the accumulated charges on the position, then the USD amount of the hedged amount will be identical (well slightly up due to -ve funding)? [2016-07-01 00:17:02] dharmabum : BitMEX_Arthur: Apologies for the basic questions. I'm just wanting to know exactly what the (er!) position is here! :) [2016-07-01 00:19:55] BitMEX_Arthur : Yes when you revalue your long Bitcoin in USD, and then take the profit and loss from your XBTUSD short, the sum will equal the original USD value, this is ignoring funding [2016-07-01 00:20:43] dharmabum : BitMEX_Arthur: Perfect. One more Q... [2016-07-01 00:20:58] Zen Trader : Does Bitmex use the CCSS the new security standard and if so might I ask how well you fared [2016-07-01 00:21:34] dharmabum : BitMEX_Arthur: I'm guessing but I assume funding is lumped in with CashRebalance transactions (as appear in Wallet history) - correct? [2016-07-01 00:21:35] Zen Trader : The Cryptocurrency security Standard [2016-07-01 00:22:42] Zen Trader : It seems open source Bitmex guys should at least take a look they outline the best practice for protecting wallets ect a whole manual of advice and its open to the public.
