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.

[2016-07-06 19:13:03] justinlooking : imo price would have to plummet for any significant amount of hash power to switch off [2016-07-06 19:22:22] zanza : the halving is equivalent to half price bitcoin for miners [2016-07-06 19:32:45] justinlooking : sure, for all the less efficient hashpower switching there will be as much or more efficient power switching on (again imo) [2016-07-06 19:34:09] Skitrx : ooo where's it gonna go [2016-07-06 19:34:11] Skitrx : http://i.imgur.com/YislHIc.jpg [2016-07-06 21:00:54] Rado : Very boring right now [2016-07-06 21:01:18] Rado : daily volatility down [2016-07-06 21:01:32] Rado : calm before the storm?

More buys than sells which is pushing the price up [2016-07-06 22:23:55] 1QaZxSw2 : BitMEX_Greg: i meant why cant you use kaiko price as the mark price [2016-07-06 22:24:52] BitMEX_Sam : We do, except there is a small amount of basis from the funding rate [2016-07-06 22:26:23] BitMEX_Greg : 1QaZxSw2: yes apologies, misread your question. The mark price is reflective of the funding rate on top of the Kaiko price as per what Sam just wrote [2016-07-06 22:48:47] 1QaZxSw2 : i see, thanks [2016-07-06 22:58:49] Mrceaser : Hey guys do you notice something fishy going on with your trades? [2016-07-06 22:59:26] BitMEX_Sam : Like what, Mrceaser? [2016-07-06 23:01:37] QuantFocus : Mrceaser: Ya, mine are all making money. It's weird. [2016-07-06 23:02:39] Mrceaser : I closed two trades with positive positions only to see both end up eroding my capital [2016-07-06 23:02:44] Mrceaser : QuantFocus mine is the reverse [2016-07-06 23:04:21] QuantFocus : I was just joking. [2016-07-06 23:04:26] 1QaZxSw2 : Mrceaser: I've seen that a coupleof times, i think its the funding rate. whatever, there's a lot of variables in the way they compute P&L [2016-07-06 23:04:46] 1QaZxSw2 : the ROE is not what you get when you close out [2016-07-06 23:05:14] 1QaZxSw2 : check your sell price - buy price [2016-07-06 23:05:16] QuantFocus : the roe is based on margin capital [2016-07-06 23:06:59] 1QaZxSw2 : also your entry price changes on rebalance [2016-07-06 23:12:06] Mrceaser : Its strange cos i have been trading on this platform for appreciable time now and this happened thrice this evening. [2016-07-06 23:13:22] BitMEX_Sam : Keep an eye on your entry price; I can get into more detail but I'd need your permission to discuss your account [2016-07-06 23:13:25] BitMEX_Sam : Otherwise we can continue via email [2016-07-06 23:13:55] BitMEX_Sam : You can see your history at https://www.bitmex.com/app/tradeHistory [2016-07-06 23:24:22] Speran49 : yeah i have a HUGE issue with my trade [2016-07-06 23:25:17] Speran49 : realised pnl .8 xbt? [2016-07-06 23:25:22] Mrceaser : @ Bitmex_Sam I have seen my history. I am clear about what happened but why it happened is my concern. I guess Speran49 has the same issues if I understand him well [2016-07-06 23:25:31] Speran49 : well [2016-07-06 23:25:38] Speran49 : my loss should have been small. 10% or so [2016-07-06 23:25:48] Speran49 : but instead its 25% [2016-07-06 23:25:56] Speran49 : i was on 15x margin and price only moved against me $10 [2016-07-06 23:26:09] Speran49 : yet rebalance show loss of 20%? [2016-07-06 23:26:12] Speran49 : how the hell [2016-07-06 23:26:35] Speran49 : this happened to me another time and it was crazy. I don't under stand how it can be so large [2016-07-06 23:27:23] Speran49 : 7/06 you took .11 btc from me [2016-07-06 23:27:25] BitMEX_Sam : Mrceaser: If you follow your entry and exit prices it is very clear. [2016-07-06 23:27:46] BitMEX_Sam : Speran49: That's 0.011, not 0.11 [2016-07-06 23:28:18] Speran49 : it says -.11 [2016-07-06 23:28:41] Speran49 : -0.114848 XBT [2016-07-06 23:29:13] BitMEX_Sam : Are you looking at a rebalance? [2016-07-06 23:29:18] Speran49 : uh huh [2016-07-06 23:29:30] Speran49 : "cash rebalance" [2016-07-06 23:29:32] BitMEX_Sam : That's not "taking" money from you, you shorted and the price went up. That is simply realizing the loss as happens every day at a rebalance [2016-07-06 23:29:40] BitMEX_Sam : Your position is still open. [2016-07-06 23:29:56] BitMEX_Sam : (after a rebalance) [2016-07-06 23:30:06] Speran49 : can you link me to where this is explained [2016-07-06 23:30:24] Speran49 : cause the way you're saying it means that possible the price could jump up at the rebalance come back down and then go back up [2016-07-06 23:30:26] BitMEX_Sam : See your trade history at https://www.bitmex.com/app/tradeHistory, and https://www.bitmex.com/app/dynamicProfitEqualisation#contract-settlement-rebalance about rebalance [2016-07-06 23:30:29] Speran49 : causing me to lose twice [2016-07-06 23:30:31] 1QaZxSw2 : rebalance is when your entry price changes to current price and profit/loss is settled [2016-07-06 23:30:36] BitMEX_Sam : No, you wouldn't lose twice Speran49 [2016-07-06 23:30:48] BitMEX_Sam : It is simply moving unrealised PNL to realised PNL, the net effect on your account is 0 [2016-07-06 23:31:00] Speran49 : do you have a way to calculate pnl at a lower margin than 50x [2016-07-06 23:31:05] Speran49 : i see only a 50x calculator [2016-07-06 23:31:08] BitMEX_Sam : Yes, change your leverage [2016-07-06 23:31:20] BitMEX_Sam : Oh, in the calculator - [2016-07-06 23:31:31] BitMEX_Sam : Just multiply it out. Profit/Loss % is the raw PNL, ROE is multiplied by the max leverage [2016-07-06 23:31:39] BitMEX_Sam : If you want to do, say, 25x, just multiply `Profit/Loss %` by 25 [2016-07-06 23:32:35] Speran49 : where do i find my pnl [2016-07-06 23:34:41] Speran49 : also, what is your symbol on trading view? [2016-07-06 23:34:55] Speran49 : i see you're using their platform here, but i'd rather use my personalized TV charts [2016-07-06 23:37:39] BitMEX_Sam : Speran49: TradingView has delisted a few Bitcoin exchanges, including us, while they're doing a technical revamp on their backend [2016-07-06 23:37:48] BitMEX_Sam : ETA on that is unfortunately a few months last we heard. [2016-07-06 23:38:11] BitMEX_Sam : You can get a fullscreen chart by clicking the bar chart icon on the top middle of the chart. It's not the same, but close. [2016-07-06 23:38:23] Speran49 : i have custom indicators [2016-07-06 23:38:39] Speran49 : you have active pinescript i can use? [2016-07-06 23:38:52] BitMEX_Sam : No, the embeddable widget doesn't do pinescript. [2016-07-06 23:38:59] Speran49 : okay [2016-07-06 23:39:02] Speran49 : now about the PNL [2016-07-06 23:39:05] Speran49 : im looking at trade history [2016-07-06 23:39:08] Speran49 : i see no pnl listed [2016-07-06 23:39:24] Speran49 : i see fees and execution prices [2016-07-06 23:40:11] Speran49 : i see one trade with a pnl total of .794 xbt apparently [2016-07-06 23:40:39] Speran49 : which makes no sense to me [2016-07-06 23:40:55] Speran49 : bitcoion moved 1.4% from my short price to my final sell [2016-07-06 23:41:34] Speran49 : so my lose should have been .16 btc [2016-07-06 23:41:40] Speran49 : but instead it was .2 btc? [2016-07-06 23:41:46] Speran49 : where did the other .04 go? [2016-07-06 23:41:54] Skitrx : did you sell at market? [2016-07-06 23:42:00] Speran49 : hell no [2016-07-06 23:42:58] Speran49 : wow looks like bitmex charged me almost .03 btc [2016-07-06 23:43:02] Speran49 : wow [2016-07-06 23:43:26] Mrceaser : Its crazy [2016-07-06 23:44:43] Speran49 : where did sam go [2016-07-06 23:45:02] Speran49 : you're reminding me why i shouldn't trade btc [2016-07-06 23:46:30] BitMEX_Sam : Speran49: https://www.bitmex.com/app/swapsGuide [2016-07-06 23:46:51] BitMEX_Sam : Perpetual swaps have a funding rate that emulates futures basis, as they act similar to a future without expiry so basis must be charged or received at intervals [2016-07-06 23:46:59] BitMEX_Sam : It's not a BitMEX fee, it's paid between counterparties [2016-07-06 23:47:15] Speran49 : can you approve my withdrawal sam? [2016-07-06 23:47:38] Speran49 : that's fine. I just don't think this is for me [2016-07-06 23:47:44] Speran49 : the cost are too high for what im trying to do [2016-07-06 23:47:55] BitMEX_Sam : Speran49: Withdrawals are done daily at 13:00 UTC [2016-07-06 23:48:06] Adura_ : What are you trying to do? [2016-07-06 23:48:21] Speran49 : place longer term trades with low levels of margin [2016-07-06 23:48:29] Speran49 : trade could take a few days to a week to work out [2016-07-06 23:48:56] BitMEX_Sam : Try the quarterly future if you want a more standard long-dated future. [2016-07-06 23:49:26] Speran49 : i can't chart it [2016-07-06 23:49:34] Speran49 : im just going to go somewhere else. Thanks anyway. [2016-07-06 23:49:49] Speran49 : oh and the fee was 4% of my position ever 8 hrs at 15x leverage [2016-07-06 23:49:51] Speran49 : that's nuts man [2016-07-06 23:50:18] BitMEX_Sam : The funding fee was 0.1%, that's 1.5%, not 4%. [2016-07-06 23:51:20] BitMEX_Sam : 0.1% is a perfectly common lending rate on margin platforms - it's disingenuous regardless to multiply fees by leverage as if allowing larger position sizes with less capital is a downside. [2016-07-06 23:51:25] Speran49 : i get 1.8% every 8 hrs [2016-07-06 23:51:45] Speran49 : and i would be okay with that as a daily fee [2016-07-06 23:51:52] Speran49 : but every 8 hrs seems high [2016-07-06 23:51:53] BitMEX_Sam : You actually received fees at 15:00 UTC today [2016-07-06 23:52:28] BitMEX_Sam : The funding is done every 8 hours to smooth out the system. If it were done more seldom the market would trade for longer at a discount/premium and the daily rate would likely be as high if not higher [2016-07-06 23:52:43] Speran49 : that's fine [2016-07-06 23:52:55] Speran49 : im just saying for me personally 1.8% every 8 hrs is high [2016-07-06 23:53:43] Speran49 : 5.4% a day on only 15x margin [2016-07-06 23:54:04] Speran49 : ever 4% would be high [2016-07-06 23:54:21] Speran49 : anyway, no biggie. I tried it. Didn't work out. No biggie. Im sure plenty of people enjoy :) [2016-07-06 23:57:54] zanza : sleger doesn't :) [2016-07-06 23:58:23] zanza : doesn't everywhere have funding rates tho Speran49 ? [2016-07-06 23:58:43] 1QaZxSw2 : anyone know where sleger is trading these days [2016-07-06 23:59:28] 1QaZxSw2 : zanza: not everywhere, but there are a couple of less popular exchanges that don't have funding as thier model. They have sellprice-buyprice = profit [2016-07-07 00:08:38] zanza : for example? [2016-07-07 00:09:50] zanza : You kind of need to have the funding rate model for "spot" trading BTC [2016-07-07 00:11:09] 1QaZxSw2 : a bit new, but i've been playing small sizes at coinpit.io [2016-07-07 00:13:42] 1QaZxSw2 : dont go crazy on the leverage there: i dont dare try anything over 300x, the slider goes above 600x [2016-07-07 00:20:05] 1QaZxSw2 : but none of the derivatives exchanges have good volume honestly except okc [2016-07-07 00:26:58] 1QaZxSw2 : are charts frozen for you guys too? nothing moving for last 10 min [2016-07-07 00:29:47] migz : btc pump soon as yuan is crumbling? [2016-07-07 00:34:09] 1QaZxSw2 : honestly looks like chop [2016-07-07 00:35:31] 1QaZxSw2 : disclosure: im long [2016-07-07 01:03:29] Rado : BitMEX_Sam: is next funding rate available as an API call? [2016-07-07 01:06:53] miramm1115 : Rado: https://www.bitmex.com/api/v1/instrument?symbol=XBTUSD [2016-07-07 01:07:14] Rado : thanks miramm1115 [2016-07-07 01:07:14] miramm1115 : "fundingRate":0.001098,"indicativeFundingRate":0.001829 [2016-07-07 01:08:51] yerb : BitMEX_Sam: you there?

[2016-07-07 01:22:31] yerb : oh, just found it, sorry [2016-07-07 01:29:27] 1QaZxSw2 : i've sold a bunch at 682ish [2016-07-07 01:33:22] REKT : Liquidated long on `ETHXBT`: Sell 768 @ 0.01527 [2016-07-07 01:38:41] yerb : BitMEX_Arthur: could you make a chart of wallet balance? [2016-07-07 01:45:32] BitMEX_Arthur : What specifically do you want to chart? [2016-07-07 01:47:04] yerb : BitMEX_Arthur: to quickly see account progress on a chart, i was thinking something like Tradingview strategy tester http://i.imgur.com/mqKgnth.png [2016-07-07 01:59:07] yerb : or dark version http://i.imgur.com/073grWw.png [2016-07-07 01:59:58] 1QaZxSw2 : yerb: nice chart where is it from [2016-07-07 02:00:45] BitMEX_Arthur : Thanks for the suggestion we will look into it further internally [2016-07-07 02:01:02] yerb : tradingview OKC strategy tester @1QaZxSw2 [2016-07-07 02:28:55] BuzzLightYear : BitMEX_Arthur: Hi~ I just logged in and i don't have any open position?? no order history? nothing @.@ doh [2016-07-07 02:32:53] BitMEX_Sam : BuzzLightYear: Have you ever traded here with that account? [2016-07-07 02:33:02] BitMEX_Sam : I am not seeing anything in your history. [2016-07-07 02:33:34] BuzzLightYear : BitMEX_Sam: i traded 11hrs ago [2016-07-07 02:33:54] BuzzLightYear : BitMEX_Sam: i should have one open order and order history [2016-07-07 02:35:07] BuzzLightYear : BitMEX_Sam: i had log-in problem this morning [2016-07-07 02:35:18] BitMEX_Sam : I see that in the logs. Just a minute, I'm taking a look at your history. [2016-07-07 02:35:30] BuzzLightYear : BitMEX_Sam: all right. Thank you~ [2016-07-07 02:35:44] BitMEX_Sam : Ah, I typed in your account name incorrectly when I was looking you up.

I will address that immediately [2016-07-07 02:37:20] BuzzLightYear : BitMEX_Sam: all right. thank you for your help.

[2016-07-07 05:10:14] rapidtrades : blurrrrrp: there's actually a major problem....bots will trade in middle of spread but as soon as u place ur trade there noone wants to trade [2016-07-07 05:10:15] 1QaZxSw2 : can someone pls screenshot okc? [2016-07-07 05:10:19] nip : their last dpe was 4.909% back in 2015 [2016-07-07 05:10:21] rullwull : rapidtrades: maybe its fake, but very profitable, any volumes are eaten [2016-07-07 05:10:22] nip : on okc [2016-07-07 05:10:34] nip : they have not had dpe in 2016 [2016-07-07 05:10:46] blurrrrrp : Okcoin: There are no open liquidation orders [2016-07-07 05:10:46] nip : but its only 20x leverage [2016-07-07 05:10:47] rapidtrades : there are too many red flags at okc for me to ignore [2016-07-07 05:10:52] 1QaZxSw2 : nip: none in 2016, thats pretty good [2016-07-07 05:11:00] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : Yeah I think BitMEX does the best they can with the super high margin offered, but I think maximum leverage of 200x is way too high, 100x should be plenty of risk for reasonable people [2016-07-07 05:11:02] 1QaZxSw2 : rapidtrades: red flags? [2016-07-07 05:11:02] blurrrrrp : For me DPE is a red flag. [2016-07-07 05:11:06] nip : lower leverage makes a difference i think [2016-07-07 05:11:09] rapidtrades : capping the premium was the last straw [2016-07-07 05:11:25] nip : capping the premium? [2016-07-07 05:11:34] Tetsuo : ok c is the must reliable and trustworthy excahnge for high volume traders [2016-07-07 05:11:53] BitMEX_Wally : We are working on reducing the max leverage for larger positions, so 200x normally but 100x or 50x if you want a bigger position [2016-07-07 05:11:58] nip : Tetsuo: i dont think it is either of those [2016-07-07 05:12:03] rapidtrades : Tetsuo: what do u know [2016-07-07 05:12:15] rapidtrades : nothing is correct answer [2016-07-07 05:12:25] nip : BitMEX_Wally: i think 5 accounts got liquidated at about the same price for your 500btc limit [2016-07-07 05:12:26] 1QaZxSw2 : BitMEX_Wally: So the 50x i see on the order entry is the initial leverage? it can run to 200x? [2016-07-07 05:12:30] nip : it could all be the same person [2016-07-07 05:12:38] 1QaZxSw2 : thats actually decent leverage [2016-07-07 05:12:48] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : BitMEX_Wally: That would be great, thanks! I think the high leverage is cool but it introduces a ridiculous amount of risk DPE-wise for people taking reasonably sized positions [2016-07-07 05:12:56] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : 1QaZxSw2: That's correct [2016-07-07 05:13:17] blurrrrrp : At 200x you get liquidated, correct? [2016-07-07 05:13:51] rullwull : rapidtrades: i was told by ex okc employees that okc is playing the market, this is not fair for sure, but the platform itself is very secure [2016-07-07 05:14:12] rapidtrades : that's what i said, its a fake market [2016-07-07 05:14:14] 1QaZxSw2 : im wondering how ok c never had DPE, its because they trade against their own traders? [2016-07-07 05:14:26] rapidtrades : they trade for sure [2016-07-07 05:14:44] blurrrrrp : 1QaZxSw2: It's because they liquidate positions sooner. [2016-07-07 05:14:48] rullwull : they manipulate the market based on the info from their users positions and create margin calls [2016-07-07 05:14:51] nip : 1QaZxSw2: their insurance fund [2016-07-07 05:14:53] nip : is huge [2016-07-07 05:14:56] rapidtrades : against traders idk....but they control that market so its a moot point [2016-07-07 05:15:10] rullwull : yes, this is true [2016-07-07 05:15:13] Roevenger : rapidtrades: every market is fake, the only difference is that btc needs way less money to be pumped/dumped [2016-07-07 05:15:21] rapidtrades : Roevenger: k [2016-07-07 05:15:24] 1QaZxSw2 : crap.... other than bitmex and okc who else offers high leverage? [2016-07-07 05:15:28] nip : also, they immediately place margin calls at the most aggresive price [2016-07-07 05:15:29] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : blurrrrrp has a good point, they definitely liquidate positions sooner [2016-07-07 05:15:37] rapidtrades : Roevenger: thank u for ur stupid opinino [2016-07-07 05:15:42] rullwull : part of okc team is focused only on liquidating their users [2016-07-07 05:15:43] blurrrrrp : IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb: Yes. That is the problem of Bitmex. [2016-07-07 05:15:56] Roevenger : rapidtrades: I'm not mocking you [2016-07-07 05:16:03] blurrrrrp : IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb: If they don't fix it.. marketmakers will stay away from here. [2016-07-07 05:16:34] 1QaZxSw2 : anyone else offer good leverage? btcc? quione? [2016-07-07 05:16:46] nip : when okc liquidates a position they sell it 1% below liquidation price. i see the bitmex orders moving around so im not sure how that works [2016-07-07 05:16:51] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : If you want to talk about fake markets XBTUSD is a prime example, attempting to "simulate" margin funding like BFX has and creating a futures contract that doesn't close. I'm not complaining but fake can have a very broad definition [2016-07-07 05:16:56] rapidtrades : testing if u get filled in middle of bid/ask is a fairly low requirement for a functioning market...this is not possible at okc [2016-07-07 05:17:37] rapidtrades : everything's fake....the liquidity they even cap the premium when it goes against them [2016-07-07 05:17:43] nip : the recent trades are fake at okc for futures and spot [2016-07-07 05:17:48] nip : but i think the orderbook is real [2016-07-07 05:18:06] rullwull : bitmix is one the best who offers the highest leverage so far, and I'm fine with dpe if i open positions at the right time [2016-07-07 05:18:39] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : The "right time"? :p I wish I had a crystal ball too [2016-07-07 05:19:13] Roevenger : IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb: this fall was quite obvious from a TA standpoint [2016-07-07 05:19:20] blurrrrrp : rullwull: People who gamble here maybe don't care so much, but marketmakers do. [2016-07-07 05:19:20] 1QaZxSw2 : IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb: XBTUSD i think was an attempt to simplify trading because traders did not want to rollover contracts [2016-07-07 05:19:39] 1QaZxSw2 : it has issues no doublt, but it solved some other issues [2016-07-07 05:19:41] rullwull : i trade based on reversal points [2016-07-07 05:19:49] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : 1QaZxSw2: That's fair [2016-07-07 05:20:31] elmorte : Can you see the depth chart on OKC anywhere, like you can on Huob? [2016-07-07 05:21:05] rullwull : im not a market maker, but play with quite significant depo and feel fine [2016-07-07 05:21:07] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : rullwull: Every point is a continuation point until it isn't. Just replace continuation with reversal haha. Probability-wise you may have a point, but that's still a very challenging prediction to make [2016-07-07 05:22:12] Roevenger : indicators serve for that purpose, to give you a higher probability [2016-07-07 05:22:20] nip : BitMEX_Wally: on the other hand if you reduce leverage you become more like okcoin [2016-07-07 05:22:21] rapidtrades : cmon...this can't hold again can it [2016-07-07 05:22:27] rapidtrades : what is it...4th or 5th time [2016-07-07 05:22:36] nip : they liquidate at 100x. you liquidate at 200x [2016-07-07 05:22:58] nip : but 200x is why im here [2016-07-07 05:23:31] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : nip: Also why you're currently losing 23.92% of your profits at next rebalance lol [2016-07-07 05:23:44] blurrrrrp : nip: Yes and the same reason marketmakers will stay away. [2016-07-07 05:23:54] nip : i guess if you kept the initial margin the same it could work [2016-07-07 05:24:18] nip : blurrrrrp: there are market makers here [2016-07-07 05:24:23] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : blurrrrrp: I have to say the liquidity here has been way better recently than in the past, so I'm not sure I agree with that [2016-07-07 05:24:37] blurrrrrp : IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb: Time will tell. [2016-07-07 05:24:42] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : I've seen 1 cent spreads regularly [2016-07-07 05:25:12] blurrrrrp : nip: Yes there are. But with DPE's comming so easily here.. I don't think the big marketmakers are here to stay. [2016-07-07 05:25:21] blurrrrrp : This is more like a gambling site.. casino. [2016-07-07 05:25:31] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : blurrrrrp: To be fair so is OKC [2016-07-07 05:25:44] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : That's why people call it OKCasino [2016-07-07 05:25:48] BitMEX_Wally : nip: We will keep 200x max leverage for positions below 250 Bitcoin [2016-07-07 05:26:06] BitMEX_Wally : The goal is to keep the high leverage for positions that can be liquidated without causing DPE [2016-07-07 05:26:07] nip : BitMEX_Wally: i think people just use more than one account [2016-07-07 05:26:18] nip : there were 5 accounts liquidated for about 500btc at about the same price [2016-07-07 05:26:34] BitMEX_Wally : Using different accounts is fine if they have different liquidation prices [2016-07-07 05:26:43] blurrrrrp : BitMEX_Wally: But they don't. [2016-07-07 05:26:49] BitMEX_Wally : In this case it was the same guy with 4 accounts, all with the same liquidation price [2016-07-07 05:26:52] nip : yeah they were different by a few cents [2016-07-07 05:26:56] nip : it didnt matter [2016-07-07 05:27:11] nip : so what are you going to do about that? [2016-07-07 05:27:13] blurrrrrp : BitMEX_Wally: Yes and everyone warned you about that. :) [2016-07-07 05:27:17] nip : because that was the actual problem [2016-07-07 05:27:26] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : BitMEX_Wally: Just out of curiosity is there a position size limit here given adequate margin being deposited?
