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.

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. [2016-07-01 00:23:52] Zen Trader : Andreas Antonopoulos is involved [2016-07-01 00:24:36] Zen Trader : BitMEX_Arthur: Does Bitmex use the CCSS the new security standard ?

[2016-07-01 02:18:55] ayy_lmao : dont know what to say [2016-07-01 02:19:09] ayy_lmao : best to ask the mods as they can see your account balance and history [2016-07-01 02:19:47] ayy_lmao : breakout [2016-07-01 02:19:47] REKT : Liquidated short on `XBTUSD`: Buy 10 @ 678.75 [2016-07-01 02:19:56] REKT : Liquidated short on `XBTUSD`: Buy 2000 @ 679.53 [2016-07-01 02:20:31] ayy_lmao : http://imgur.com/IwuE1Ai [2016-07-01 02:23:54] d_ : haven't seen a mega rekt in a while [2016-07-01 02:24:51] jung1 : couse everyone is long [2016-07-01 02:24:56] ayy_lmao : lol [2016-07-01 02:27:43] jol15925 : can we get some big margin calls up in this b*^&ch [2016-07-01 02:30:03] QuantFocus : jol15925: we don't want margin calls [2016-07-01 02:30:09] QuantFocus : margin calls = dpe [2016-07-01 02:30:42] ayy_lmao : not unless we close into them ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) [2016-07-01 02:31:49] zanza : open interest spiked up today [2016-07-01 02:32:16] QuantFocus : ayy_lmao: :thumbs up: good point [2016-07-01 02:32:23] QuantFocus : ayy_lmao: but who's closing?

Opening a new account changes nothing [2016-07-01 02:41:16] QuantFocus : BitMEX_Wally: i think he was joking [2016-07-01 02:41:42] QuantFocus : BitMEX_Wally: buuut. since you're here. i'm having trouble getting haas connected to the api [2016-07-01 02:41:56] QuantFocus : any tips [2016-07-01 02:43:16] BitMEX_Wally : mikeh: Your wallet balance is 0.25 but you have 0.13104 of unrealised profit so your margin balance is 0.3815406. This profit is withheld and is showing as pending in your wallet: https://www.bitmex.com/app/wallet [2016-07-01 02:43:58] BitMEX_Wally : mikeh: CashRebalance is not a fee, it is just the PNL from trading and funding moving into your wallet [2016-07-01 02:44:04] BitMEX_Wally : QuantFocus: What errors are you getting? [2016-07-01 02:44:42] QuantFocus : BitMEX_Wally: it just isn't connecting. it requires email and password to sync, which is sketchy to start with [2016-07-01 02:45:01] QuantFocus : BitMEX_Wally: i'm thinking it might be due to 2fa [2016-07-01 02:45:44] BitMEX_Wally : What exactly is requiring your password to sync? [2016-07-01 02:46:07] BitMEX_Wally : Our API accepts API keys, or Access Tokens, or for really simple uses you can send username and password [2016-07-01 02:46:08] QuantFocus : haasbot [2016-07-01 02:46:41] BitMEX_Wally : I wouldn't give your username and password to hassbot. Create an API key and tell it to use that [2016-07-01 02:47:07] nip : BitMEX_Wally: how often do you set fair basis on XBTU16 [2016-07-01 02:47:12] QuantFocus : well, it doesn't have the option to utilize API keys for :bitmex: yet [2016-07-01 02:47:34] QuantFocus : it uses API keys from other sites, but i don't think it's been implemented yet [2016-07-01 02:47:44] nip : it seems like mark price lags when there is a big move [2016-07-01 02:48:55] BitMEX_Wally : QuantFocus: We added API key support for Haasbot, tell them to use it [2016-07-01 02:49:10] QuantFocus : haha, ok [2016-07-01 02:49:14] QuantFocus : i'll put the request in [2016-07-01 02:49:50] QuantFocus : thank you, as always, sir [2016-07-01 02:50:11] BitMEX_Wally : In the mean time create a second account with no 2FA and give it that username/password? [2016-07-01 02:51:41] BitMEX_Wally : nip: We adjust the basis manually whenever the mark price is not inside the impact adjusted spread [2016-07-01 02:52:40] QuantFocus : BitMEX_Wally: yea, i have a second account with 0 balance set up for testing purposes [2016-07-01 02:52:50] QuantFocus : i'm reluctant to deposit though, without 2FA [2016-07-01 02:53:52] nip : BitMEX_Wally: it is done manually? [2016-07-01 02:54:55] BitMEX_Wally : nip: Yes, if the contract is liquid we enable the fair price method of 'ImpactMidPrice' and it is done automatically. But at the moment we do it manually [2016-07-01 02:55:11] BitMEX_Wally : I just adjusted the basis down slightly on XBTU16 (without causing any liquidations) [2016-07-01 02:55:31] nip : i guess that makes sense to avoid margin calls that trigger margin calls [2016-07-01 02:55:45] nip : the open interest is a lot bigger than the thin orderbook would suggest [2016-07-01 02:56:18] BitMEX_Wally : nip: Yes, liquidation orders in the book are ignored for the purposes of calculating the impact spread, etc [2016-07-01 03:03:08] fineregex : BitMEX_Wally: sorry, could we really saving something going in and out of deals ever 8 hours before funding (given the same entry price)? [2016-07-01 03:04:33] BitMEX_Wally : fineregex: Let's suppose you are long XBTUSD and the funding rate is 0.309%. If you sell at 11:59 UTC and buy back at 12:01 UTC at exactly the same price then you have avoided 0.309% and paid 0.15% in maker fees [2016-07-01 03:05:15] BitMEX_Wally : However, the market makers will put their prices up by 0.3% after funding [2016-07-01 03:05:36] BitMEX_Wally : So you are unlikely to be able to get the same entry price [2016-07-01 03:05:38] fineregex : BitMEX_Wally: Some one from BitMEX___ said something sounding like funding was more accurated/decay over time? [2016-07-01 03:05:49] BitMEX_Wally : The mark price decays over time [2016-07-01 03:06:03] BitMEX_Wally : But that's just used for unrealised PNL [2016-07-01 03:07:30] fineregex : so only indirect effect [2016-07-01 03:07:31] fineregex : thanks [2016-07-01 03:07:35] BitMEX_Wally : So for example, let's say the spot price is $100.00 and the funding rate is 1%. At 12:01 the mark price will be $101 and at 16:00 the mark price will be $100.50 and at 19:59 the mark price will be $100.00 and at 20:00 all longs will pay $1, but then the mark price will jump up $1 to $101.00 [2016-07-01 03:07:53] BitMEX_Wally : So effectively at the point of paying funding your margin balance does not change (wallet balance + unrealised PNL) [2016-07-01 03:08:15] BitMEX_Wally : But longs are constantly paying funding via their unrealisedPNL decreasing throughout the session [2016-07-01 03:08:41] BitMEX_Wally : This is so that charging funding does not cause liquidations [2016-07-01 03:08:55] fineregex : yes [2016-07-01 03:09:25] BitMEX_Wally : I've seen people sell 1% below spot to avoid a 0.11% funding rate [2016-07-01 03:09:27] BitMEX_Wally : Happens nearly every day [2016-07-01 03:11:22] fineregex : yes, wont sell below the 680 level [2016-07-01 03:12:00] ayy_lmao : bistamp lmao [2016-07-01 03:12:45] fineregex : but i may put up some huge sell limit orders at 685 or the 50 minutes if anyone is interested ;) [2016-07-01 03:13:01] fineregex : bitstamp had sellwalls all week [2016-07-01 03:18:41] mikeh : thanks wally but why does Realised PNL show -.23, if it's from previous trades it doesn't make sense to me to put it alongside the current position [2016-07-01 03:19:48] ayy_lmao : its nice to know how much your up or down from all previous trades [2016-07-01 03:20:52] mikeh : yeah i think it's just confusing for it to be where it is.. [2016-07-01 03:21:10] BitMEX_Wally : mikeh: We don't really have the concept of 'per trade' PNL, so we show cumulative PNL for the instrument. If you hover over the realised PNL number it will show you how much realisedPNL since the last rebalance (i.e. the last 24 hours). [2016-07-01 03:22:59] mikeh : mmm, when you hover it says realised profit and loss on this contract [2016-07-01 03:26:15] jung1 : https://news.bitcoin.com/china-leading-role-bitcoins-future/ [2016-07-01 03:34:53] ayy_lmao : moon [2016-07-01 03:35:17] REKT : Liquidated short on `XBTUSD`: Buy 5 @ 682.91 [2016-07-01 03:35:22] jung1 : hope not yet [2016-07-01 03:35:26] ayy_lmao : http://imgur.com/IwuE1Ai [2016-07-01 03:35:40] ayy_lmao : okcoin new highs [2016-07-01 03:36:13] d_ : still no mega rekt...

[2016-07-01 03:41:27] jung1 : still more people die in normal cars than self driving [2016-07-01 03:41:58] ayy_lmao : tesla says its user error, investigation will see what happened [2016-07-01 03:42:02] jung1 : imo max 5 years and uber will be without drivers [2016-07-01 03:42:11] micmix : BitMEX_Wally: Hey Wally, did you figure out what was going on with the API around 12 UTC?
