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.

[2016-10-05 20:53:58] sleger : it tells you to close and reopen agaisnt your second account to put back the unrealised profit to zero and lower your position in the queue
[2016-10-05 20:54:12] sleger : and let someone take the hit
[2016-10-05 20:54:15] sleger : *someone else
[2016-10-05 20:55:06] MrRGnome : I don't know what it tells me. Right now these lights aren't much use to me.
[2016-10-05 20:55:29] wurstgelee : sleger: haha :üp
[2016-10-05 20:55:31] wurstgelee : :)
[2016-10-05 20:57:32] wurstgelee : sleger: thats probably the best explanation for those lights possible
[2016-10-05 20:57:35] wurstgelee : i can work with that
[2016-10-05 21:01:34] mjones : i have a personal light question
[2016-10-05 21:01:42] Tetsuo : i really like this place, because i think they are probably the only ones who aren´t led by total crooks, but for now i think i might get back to the woodchipper. Alt´s are probably dyin anyway in the next weeks.
[2016-10-05 21:02:58] Tetsuo : I´m goin full retard long on quarterlys @okc, when my gut tells me it´s right. it seems too dangerous to me in here with ADl and all those changes poppin up every week
[2016-10-05 21:03:23] mjones : yeah last thing we need is mr. 100k short getting margin called during a 5% pump
[2016-10-05 21:03:27] mjones : and a bunch of people get auto closed
[2016-10-05 21:03:39] mjones : and then price continues going up without them
[2016-10-05 21:06:44] BitMEX_Greg : I think once we have a normal ADL market after this Friday, then you won't be seeing positions automatically be in a red light indication.
[2016-10-05 21:07:08] BitMEX_Greg : That doesn't necessarily mean you will be autodeleveraged anyway. It just means you are in the top 20%
[2016-10-05 21:07:15] BitMEX_Greg : And that is only if there is a liquidation
[2016-10-05 21:07:33] sleger : Tetsuo: paying that 20$ premium ?
[2016-10-05 21:07:33] BitMEX_Greg : and only if that liquidation does not get filled, even after we have gone through the stages of aggressing it
[2016-10-05 21:09:04] BitMEX_Greg : I think because you guys are seeing the red lights you are getting scared of being closed out. In reality, the chances of being closed due to a deleverage is somewhat similar to when we had DPE (which was extremely rare)
[2016-10-05 21:10:03] Tetsuo : sleger: it usually takes a huge crash, to get quaterlys down near spot, and i´m not seein it in the next time. 3% ain´t that much for quarterlys on okc, we had up to 10% before, during pumps. 3 is quite civilized in my opinion.
[2016-10-05 21:10:15] wurstgelee : yes. but u had dpe on that position until next rebalance. your position stayed open
[2016-10-05 21:10:30] wurstgelee : better than getting force-closed and having no position imo
[2016-10-05 21:10:30] sleger : I agre, but I prefer to enter on crashes when it's barely above spot @Tetsuo
[2016-10-05 21:10:57] sleger : and if there is a crash in 2 weeks then you lose the crash PLUS the $20 premium
[2016-10-05 21:16:12] Tetsuo : okc normally doesn´t get rid of the premium at the first stage of a crash, IF one should, so my crash risk isn´t higher than here on aynone else, it often takes stage 3 or 4 of a crash, to wipe away the premium.
[2016-10-05 21:17:11] Tetsuo : only crash i could think of now, is a chinese block limit hard fork, other than that i´m not so cared about it, stops still realtively tight @ 3-5%
[2016-10-05 21:19:07] Tetsuo : *sorry for typos , drunk as fuck
[2016-10-05 21:49:50] rapidtrades : sleger: how are rollover rates where u trade forex?
[2016-10-05 22:21:09] Rado : BitMEX_Greg: The Margin box used to have a basic and advanced view
[2016-10-05 22:21:13] Rado : I only see the basic now
[2016-10-05 22:21:19] Rado : how do I change it?
[2016-10-05 22:22:28] BitMEX_Sam : Rado: ADL no longer requires withheld profit, so those margin lines have been eliminated.
[2016-10-05 22:22:50] BitMEX_Sam : Because of that, there was next to no difference between the basic & advanced view, so we eliminated the basic view - what you're seeing is all data now.
[2016-10-05 22:22:52] REKT : Liquidated long on `ETHXBT`: Sell 300 @ 0.02128
[2016-10-05 22:23:02] Rado : Thank BitMEX_Sam
[2016-10-05 22:23:05] Rado : makes sense
[2016-10-05 22:23:15] BitMEX_Sam : It's a nice simplification. :)
[2016-10-05 22:24:01] zanza : chaep XMR guys
[2016-10-05 22:24:02] habibi : BitMEX_Sam: could u comment on adding rep? i guess xrp is not on top list priority anymore
[2016-10-05 22:24:05] zanza : limited time offer
[2016-10-05 22:24:24] BitMEX_Sam : habibi: They're both coming, just finished some necessary dev work for XRP as well
[2016-10-05 22:24:28] BitMEX_Sam : We expect them live in the next few hours
[2016-10-05 22:24:49] habibi : Awesome, hope there will be volume here on xrp as well
[2016-10-05 22:25:16] BitMEX_Sam : REP & XRP are both in Testnet.
[2016-10-05 23:17:49] habibi : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNtNuVe4s48
[2016-10-06 01:23:02] sleger : make etc, xmr monthly instead of 7d ?
[2016-10-06 01:25:34] BitMEX_Greg : sleger: I'll bring it up, may be easier now with ADL
[2016-10-06 01:26:33] sleger : ask around but i feel like people would prefer it]
[2016-10-06 01:28:40] tb : why are all the lights lit for me in the adl queue if im using cross margin?
[2016-10-06 01:29:09] BitMEX_Greg : tb: Your ranking may be affected from your unrealised PNL
[2016-10-06 01:35:22] sleger : you're a victim of being too careful and making money !!
[2016-10-06 01:37:50] sleger : "[2016-10-05 20:19:36] BitMEX_Sam : How about you quit leading me and just tell me what your issue is?" best quote of 2016
[2016-10-06 01:42:28] tb : for the adl system why don't you offer a queue for participants who want to trade against people who get margin called?
[2016-10-06 01:42:38] tb : so those guys' orders are filled first
[2016-10-06 01:43:30] tb : let's say i want to long btc
[2016-10-06 01:43:52] tb : i know sometimes on big down moves people get margin called
[2016-10-06 01:44:35] tb : i can place an order to execute against these margin calls
[2016-10-06 02:17:39] BitMEX_Wally : tb: That's an interesting idea. We'll have a look into doing that
[2016-10-06 02:27:52] alayos : BitMEX_Wally: can I ask what the release ETA for REP trading here?
[2016-10-06 02:29:18] BitMEX_Wally : alayos: Probably today
[2016-10-06 02:29:57] alayos : ok thx, just lining up some BTC deposits for it.
[2016-10-06 03:13:57] BitMEX_Wally : alayos: `REP7D` is live: https://www.bitmex.com/app/trade/REP7D
[2016-10-06 03:14:06] BitMEX_Wally : And `XRP7D` too: https://www.bitmex.com/app/trade/XRP7D

[2016-10-06 10:41:08] Airmike : funding rate I guess

[2016-10-06 10:43:18] Airmike : so if this number is 0.0360%
[2016-10-06 10:43:25] Airmike : then I make money ?
[2016-10-06 10:43:49] habibi : BitMEX_Sam: could u call for mm on rep :)?
[2016-10-06 10:44:58] wurstgelee : habibi: that would be helpful
[2016-10-06 10:45:08] wurstgelee : =)
[2016-10-06 10:49:35] habibi : untradeable shit as long as mm will hunt people
[2016-10-06 10:52:59] jung1 : Shortsighted people once laughed at the idea of a $1,000 Bitcoin. Today they laugh at the idea of a 1,000MB block
[2016-10-06 10:54:09] habibi : yea yea keep quoting Ver
[2016-10-06 10:54:22] messiaen8844 : Ver is clueless
[2016-10-06 10:54:30] messiaen8844 : or has hidden agendas
[2016-10-06 10:54:34] messiaen8844 : promoting his altcoins
[2016-10-06 10:54:42] messiaen8844 : big big XMR and ETH pumper
[2016-10-06 10:54:42] habibi : sadly agre
[2016-10-06 10:54:46] habibi : agree*
[2016-10-06 10:54:55] messiaen8844 : once BTC breaks, he will say things are allright
[2016-10-06 10:55:03] messiaen8844 : because he will be long btc
[2016-10-06 10:55:23] jung1 : cmon its true
[2016-10-06 10:55:27] jung1 : really good quote
[2016-10-06 10:55:50] jung1 : bitcoin already died several times
[2016-10-06 10:56:11] jung1 : and imo in future there will be no chain to rule them all
[2016-10-06 10:56:51] habibi : jung1: compared to his Starbucks quote its a good quote, nothing more
[2016-10-06 10:56:54] jung1 : and better to make hype around such coins as xmr or eth than doge or other jokes
[2016-10-06 10:58:46] jung1 : and 1gb blocks are not impossible in future
[2016-10-06 10:59:24] jung1 : internet is faster and cheaper day by day, storage are bigger
[2016-10-06 10:59:32] jung1 : there wil be no problem with this
[2016-10-06 10:59:34] jung1 : at all
[2016-10-06 10:59:58] wurstgelee : seriously... REP MM ffs ;)
[2016-10-06 11:00:16] jung1 : like 15 years ago PCs had like 4gb disk space
[2016-10-06 11:01:14] habibi : BitMEX_Greg: couuld u?
[2016-10-06 11:04:08] habibi : eh thanks for ur respond that tells a lot :D
[2016-10-06 11:06:58] messiaen8844 : don't buy the bitcoin populist agenda, understand the technicals, blockchain is hard as fuck to scale
[2016-10-06 11:07:09] messiaen8844 : and no one found the solution yet
[2016-10-06 11:07:26] messiaen8844 : for massive scaling
[2016-10-06 11:08:24] jung1 : lightning network looks very promissing
[2016-10-06 11:08:34] habibi : lol
[2016-10-06 11:08:38] messiaen8844 : it's a tradeoff, you can scale by centralizing
[2016-10-06 11:08:45] messiaen8844 : look how ETH is centralized
[2016-10-06 11:10:42] dasdfasdf : but it is noncustodial
[2016-10-06 11:10:52] dasdfasdf : lightning nodes cant steal funds

[2016-10-06 13:33:07] REKT : Liquidated long on `XMR7D`: Sell 50 @ 0.010950
[2016-10-06 13:45:30] mjones : i love when multiple BTC blocks are found in a short amount of time
[2016-10-06 14:33:45] RocketScience : somebody shorted 2k augur and market spread is awful now :O
[2016-10-06 14:34:14] habibi : technically closed long
[2016-10-06 14:34:33] RocketScience : So i am caught here with my short :O
[2016-10-06 14:34:58] RocketScience : the same thing happened to factom at big dump to 300k...spread was from 300 to 400
[2016-10-06 14:41:18] RocketScience : market maker returned
[2016-10-06 15:06:36] dasdfasdf : anyones orders getting canceled weird, saying it would put into liquidation
[2016-10-06 15:09:45] BitMEX_Wally : dasdfasdf: If you are long, you cannot submit a sell order that would cause you to lose more than you have
[2016-10-06 15:10:26] dasdfasdf : im short trying to go further short
[2016-10-06 15:10:34] dasdfasdf : the order sat out there for a few minutes
[2016-10-06 15:11:04] BitMEX_Wally : Ahh, if you are short you cannot put a sell order above your liquidation price
[2016-10-06 15:11:11] BitMEX_Wally : Basically you cannot catch your own liquidations
[2016-10-06 15:14:35] dasdfasdf : That should not have been the case. It let me put the order in, never was close to my liquidation price
[2016-10-06 15:16:18] BitMEX_Wally : Ok, so the issue in this case was an order cancelation rather than a rejection. You placed an order to sell at 0.0207 when the mark price was 0.0208. This means if the order was filled you would suffer a loss of 0.0001, but that was ok you had available balance to cover it. However the mark price rose to 0.02085 and you no longer had enough margin so the order was cancelled
[2016-10-06 15:24:05] dasdfasdf : my est liquidation price was above 0.021
[2016-10-06 15:38:00] Rado : BitMEX_Wally: is there any particular order for the tabs with all the contracts
[2016-10-06 15:40:43] sleger : semi-alphabetical
[2016-10-06 15:46:06] Rado : lol
[2016-10-06 15:46:12] Rado : not even that
[2016-10-06 15:46:23] Rado : I don't think it's popularity either
[2016-10-06 15:46:52] BitMEX_Sam : It generally goes by popularity, but with some of the new coins less-so.
[2016-10-06 15:47:04] BitMEX_Sam : It's a hardcoded sort order in the trading engine, we just echo it back.
[2016-10-06 15:47:28] Rado : works for now
[2016-10-06 15:47:43] Rado : but when you add more you might want to think of a better way to organize them
[2016-10-06 15:48:28] BitMEX_Sam : Yeah we're getting to that point.
[2016-10-06 15:48:46] Rado : maybe even provide an alternative view which will group swap, 24H, 7D, 3M
[2016-10-06 15:49:59] laisee : allow users to hide completely some coins, like other exchanges
[2016-10-06 15:50:09] Rado : ZEC is crazy
[2016-10-06 15:50:15] Rado : when is ZEC coming out?
[2016-10-06 15:50:20] Rado : can't wait to short it
[2016-10-06 15:50:25] laisee : Xmas day
[2016-10-06 15:50:29] habibi : tomorrow
[2016-10-06 15:50:41] Rado : habibi: tomorrow?
[2016-10-06 15:50:46] trestres : BitMEX_Sam: any chance to have also perpetual on XRP and REP ?
[2016-10-06 15:51:15] habibi : Rado: nope
[2016-10-06 15:51:22] BitMEX_Sam : trestres: Possibly, but we find in practice that alt swaps don't trade very well due to funding rate swings.
[2016-10-06 15:51:46] Rado : BitMEX_Sam: agreed, 7D works much better for alts
[2016-10-06 15:52:13] Rado : actually you should switch LSK, FCT and ETH to 7D
[2016-10-06 15:52:46] trestres : one more question... how is made funding for LSK iif there are no rates on POLO?
[2016-10-06 15:55:39] BitMEX_Wally : The base LSK interest rate is treated as 0 but there's still the XBT rate and the LSKXBT premium index
[2016-10-06 15:56:46] BitMEX_Greg : trestres: Take a look over: https://www.bitmex.com/app/swapsGuide#Premium--Discount-Component

[2016-10-06 17:14:22] BitMEX_Sam : Yeah, we wanted to keep prices at parity with Polo etc so there is less confusion.
[2016-10-06 17:14:33] BitMEX_Sam : I don't like the four leading zeroes either.
[2016-10-06 17:17:24] RocketScience : there will be 5 leading zeros if xrp doesn't get it's act together!
[2016-10-06 17:30:49] BitMEX_Greg : RocketScience: lol
[2016-10-06 17:31:11] BitMEX_Greg : Thoughts about price? I feel like it's time for a dump

[2016-10-06 21:27:17] habibi : BitMEX_Greg: spread for example
[2016-10-06 21:27:20] wurstgelee : extremely lopsided all day
[2016-10-06 21:27:22] wurstgelee : also spread
[2016-10-06 21:27:23] habibi : or only mm making only bid side
[2016-10-06 21:27:25] habibi : or sell side
[2016-10-06 21:27:27] habibi : or none
[2016-10-06 21:27:32] wurstgelee : exactly
[2016-10-06 21:27:34] wurstgelee : ;)
[2016-10-06 21:28:35] BitMEX_Greg : habibi: Guessing they are hitting their limits
[2016-10-06 21:28:48] BitMEX_Greg : No borrow on REP
[2016-10-06 21:28:53] BitMEX_Greg : limited supply
[2016-10-06 21:29:06] habibi : hm it would be ok if only sell side would be there
[2016-10-06 21:29:07] BitMEX_Greg : He can't be constantly bid is my guess
[2016-10-06 21:29:16] BitMEX_Greg : looks like ask side is in
[2016-10-06 21:29:32] habibi : but then again, at some point only bid side was there so i guess he was trying to encourage bottom shorters to show on bid side
[2016-10-06 21:29:46] mjones : cant refill the side that gets taken out over and over. if price falls they get mega rekt
[2016-10-06 21:40:52] REKT : Liquidated short on `ZECZ16`: Buy 1 @ 0.16060 :punch: :whale:

[2016-10-06 21:46:20] mjones : till 3 weeks away from launch
[2016-10-06 22:04:34] pigeons : i just keep hearing, better buy some to sell to the greater fool
[2016-10-06 22:09:31] mjones : i mean this could open at $100
[2016-10-06 22:10:46] BitMEX_Sam : It seems euphoria-driven to me, but we'll see
[2016-10-06 22:11:35] pigeons : the mining is poorly thought out. the guy with the most efficent miner and most equipment will get all of it except the 20% founder not-a-premine
[2016-10-06 22:12:31] BitMEX_Sam : pigeons: Well, it seems pretty well thought-out to me, in terms of attempting to prevent advantageous GPU & ASIC mining
[2016-10-06 22:12:46] BitMEX_Sam : However from my understanding the reference CPU miner is as much as 10x slower than an optimized implementation, and GPU miners are already in the wild
[2016-10-06 22:13:03] BitMEX_Sam : They're not a *huge* amount faster than an optimized CPU implementation afaik but it's enough to sow doubt
[2016-10-06 22:14:40] pigeons : there are lots of issues, it is a huge amount faster. 2 boxes gets like 90% more blocks than one even ignoring gpu/cpu
[2016-10-06 22:15:02] pigeons : i'm sorry i mean like more than twice as much not 90%
[2016-10-06 22:15:15] pigeons : the whole thing is a big mess
[2016-10-06 22:17:38] habibi : BitMEX_Sam: many diffrent reports from private guys making own gpu miners but some of them tells 10x more than optimized cpu one
[2016-10-06 22:19:12] BitMEX_Sam : pigeons: The hash timing is pretty crazy, I've seen about 40s per thread, as much as 190s per thread on ARM cores which is basically useless given 150s block timing
[2016-10-06 22:19:21] BitMEX_Sam : habibi: I believe it. And they'll keep it to themselves

[2016-10-06 22:52:40] BitMEX_Greg : WhaleDeluxe: That's pretty much the reason. More shorting here so its pushing the price down here

[2016-10-07 06:30:39] rapidtrades : lord: did u win?
[2016-10-07 06:30:44] lord : yes
[2016-10-07 06:31:33] lord : but I wanted to keep the contracts, who can just decide to close them? I thought I have a bet with others here...
[2016-10-07 06:32:35] BitMEX_Arthur : lord: Please send us a support ticket and we can look into your specific question.
[2016-10-07 06:32:52] lord : this is very general
[2016-10-07 06:33:37] lord : is there any way, to not getting auto leveraged?
[2016-10-07 06:33:39] BitMEX_Arthur : Please read this document to learn more about the auto deleveraging process https://www.bitmex.com/app/autoDeleveraging
[2016-10-07 06:34:12] BitMEX_Arthur : lord: No there is no way to completely avoid it, this feature is integral to us being able to offer high leveraged products
[2016-10-07 06:35:43] rapidtrades : not cool man...he got closed at 1 leverage cos he made a profit
[2016-10-07 06:38:25] martyix : Hi, I'm interested in AllOrNone type of order (as specified in https://www.bitmex.com/api/explorer/#!/Order/Order_new) and it says that order then has to specify displayQty = 0.
[2016-10-07 06:38:28] lord : yea and now I can only buy more expensive
[2016-10-07 06:38:46] martyix : So anyone can put hidden orders (i.e. order with displayQty = 0)?
[2016-10-07 06:40:38] BitMEX_Arthur : martyix: Can you submit a support ticket, someone will help you with that
[2016-10-07 06:41:23] martyix : OK, I'll send a ticket. Thanks
[2016-10-07 06:53:46] no : from: https://www.bitmex.com/app/autoDeleveragingExamples "Accounts 6 and 5 will be deleveraged at the bankruptcy price of USD 650. Account 6 will have their entire position of 10 contracts closed, while the remaining 10 contracts from the short liquidation will be assigned to account 5." There must be something I'm missing, if a short of 20 contracts needs to be closed out, should account 3 be deleveraged?
[2016-10-07 06:54:21] no : shouldn't account 3 be deleveraged*
[2016-10-07 06:59:36] BitMEX_Arthur : 3 has the lowest PNL Ranking
[2016-10-07 06:59:42] BitMEX_Arthur : so it will be deleveraged last
[2016-10-07 07:03:35] Tetsuo : In your announcemnet you state that´s it´s all about the level of leverage :"ADL deleverages the highest-leveraged traders who thus pose the biggest risk for other traders. " "Under the ADL system, traders with the highest leverage will be deleveraged first, incentivising lower leverage traders to trade without penalty."
[2016-10-07 07:04:43] BitMEX_Wally : martyix: I have replied to your ticket. Basically anyone can send `displayQty=0` if they want an order to be hidden from the order book.
[2016-10-07 07:05:16] BitMEX_Wally : If you have `execInst=AllOrNone` then we require the order to be hidden from the order book otherwise it would give a false impression of liquidity (i.e. a bid that could not be partially hit)
[2016-10-07 07:06:23] martyix : Thank you very much. Could please tell me, if I can put an order with minQty? I mean if I can say that I want an order and minimum filled quantity must be X.
[2016-10-07 07:07:07] BitMEX_Wally : martyix: We don't support minQty, basically `AllOrNone` or `FillOrKill` are th same as `minQty=orderQty`
[2016-10-07 07:08:04] martyix : Basically yes, but there is still a difference. Thanks!
[2016-10-07 07:08:50] martyix : (I mean d difference from what I would like to accomplish. However, this gives me enough options. Good.)
[2016-10-07 07:12:08] BitMEX_Wally : We support OneTriggersTheOther orders, so you could have an AllOrNone order that when filled triggers another order
[2016-10-07 07:13:09] martyix : Ah, good to know. Thank you
[2016-10-07 07:15:38] lord : whats with the session limit up price?
[2016-10-07 07:26:20] XXXX : BitMEX_Wally: what is the DAILY funding rate for ZEZZ16 if my margin is less than 1%?
[2016-10-07 07:26:38] XXXX : BitMEX_Wally: ZECZ16
[2016-10-07 07:27:44] BitMEX_Wally : XXXX: Funding rate only applies to swaps. ZECZ16 is a future so there is no funding rate
[2016-10-07 07:28:51] XXXX : So lets say if i have ZECZ16 future open till 30 dec i dont have to pay any interest?
[2016-10-07 07:30:03] no : BitMEX_Arthur: Okay, then should account 2 and 5 be deleveraged?
[2016-10-07 07:30:31] no : well, only 10 from account 5
[2016-10-07 07:33:48] martyix : Is it possible to use both "ParticipateDoNotInitiate" and "AllOrNone" at the same time?
[2016-10-07 07:33:53] martyix : https://www.bitmex.com/api/explorer/#!/Order/Order_new
[2016-10-07 07:34:26] no : that is, account 2 and 5 instead of 6 and 5
[2016-10-07 07:38:32] lord : why are all my orders canceled?
[2016-10-07 07:39:26] BitMEX_Jinming : no: account 2 and 5 are ranked top, so are deleveraged first.
[2016-10-07 07:41:27] BitMEX_Jinming : lord: which instruments?
[2016-10-07 07:41:42] lord : i am talking about the session limit up price
[2016-10-07 07:42:07] lord : there are orders that are not buyable
[2016-10-07 07:42:13] lord : makes no sence
[2016-10-07 07:45:54] j8 : limit up/down is only on ZECZ16, because it's marked to last price. it's pretty necessary, otherwise you could have crazy liquidations from people manipulating thin orderbooks
[2016-10-07 07:45:58] BitMEX_Wally : martyix: Yes just comma separate them, so `execInst= AllOrNone, ParticipateDoNotInitiate`
[2016-10-07 07:46:09] martyix : Thanks!
[2016-10-07 07:46:10] rapidtrades : why is profit the first criteria? these rules don't make sesne
[2016-10-07 07:46:18] BitMEX_Wally : Sorry, no space `execInst= AllOrNone,ParticipateDoNotInitiate`
[2016-10-07 07:46:30] martyix : I see
[2016-10-07 07:46:34] rapidtrades : that's not how Bitvic does deleveraging
[2016-10-07 07:50:38] BitMEX_Arthur : rapidtrades: We did aim to copy BitVC completely
[2016-10-07 07:51:09] BitMEX_Arthur : sorry did not
[2016-10-07 07:52:02] BitMEX_Jinming : rapidtrades: Both profit and leverage are considered in the deleverage ranking.
[2016-10-07 07:58:26] KyllingLolsson : How do i see rebalance countdown on mobile?
[2016-10-07 07:58:44] rapidtrades : but u first close all positions that show a profit...only once those are closed are losing trades deleveraged...isn't that accurate? @BitMEX_Jinming
[2016-10-07 08:01:17] BitMEX_Jinming : rapidtrades: profit positions are always deleveraged before losing ones (that's all other exchanges are doing). However, among the profit ones, leverage can impact the ranking.
[2016-10-07 08:02:45] Tetsuo : Then maybe you should rewrite your latest announcement, cuz it only mentions leverage as factor
[2016-10-07 08:04:19] rapidtrades : BitMEX_Jinming: are u sure that's how Bitvc does it? sleger said that's not accurate
[2016-10-07 08:05:13] rapidtrades : http://www.coindesk.com/bitvc-swaps-socialized-futures-losses-for-new-risk-system/
[2016-10-07 08:05:30] rapidtrades : ^ that article only mentions leverage
[2016-10-07 08:10:12] BitMEX_Arthur : KyllingLolsson: Rebalance or Settlement?
[2016-10-07 08:11:21] BitMEX_Arthur : Rebalance does not exist any more. We do have a countdown for Settlement (Futures) and to the next Funding (Swaps).

[2016-10-07 11:53:29] jeeburns : can't seem to make a profitable trade despite consecutively buying low and selling higher thanks to this "mark price" apparently I need do hold loonger
[2016-10-07 11:54:53] BitMEX_Wally : jeeburns: The mark price only affects your unrealised PNL. If you buy low and sell high then your profit/loss is determined by your entry and exit prices, and any trading fees or funding fees
[2016-10-07 11:55:53] jeeburns : so if I sell at a higher price than I bought at, despite the unrealized being red, it will still be profitable?
[2016-10-07 11:57:22] BitMEX_Wally : Yes, so long as you sell 0.075% higher to cover any fees etc
[2016-10-07 12:10:34] kumarz : Fees and funding... Killing me softly too
[2016-10-07 12:13:14] jeeburns : ok thank you!
[2016-10-07 12:18:32] MrJ1m : soo, still no btc 3M around here
[2016-10-07 12:25:59] mjones : just noticed ETC hit a new low. the only guy holding the price up has 600 BTC stacked down to 0.0015
[2016-10-07 12:33:34] habibi : 1850 was lowest point
[2016-10-07 13:01:23] rapidtrades : dam not much follow-through on that breakout
[2016-10-07 13:14:54] mjones : REP dump. sucks cryptowatch hasnt added the poloniex market.
[2016-10-07 13:31:01] Boontjie : rapidtrades: yet
[2016-10-07 13:36:21] zanza : wasn't he defending .0001 ?
[2016-10-07 13:36:30] zanza : is it the hacker btw
[2016-10-07 13:48:35] Chimpindeed : way to go bitmex bots
[2016-10-07 13:52:22] mjones : bummer. no coins moving enough to trade right now

[2016-10-07 14:25:28] wurstgelee : oO
[2016-10-07 14:25:45] wurstgelee : downwards is a move too....
[2016-10-07 14:28:13] mjones : REP might mega dump
[2016-10-07 14:30:01] MrRGnome : mjones: maybe, I'm personally betting above 0.009 holds for the short term. I'm buying, so feel free to rub it in my face if it does crash
[2016-10-07 14:32:21] wurstgelee : waiting for it to go sub 0.01, then i will buy
[2016-10-07 14:32:47] wurstgelee : means i agree with MrRGnome
[2016-10-07 14:32:49] wurstgelee : =)
[2016-10-07 14:32:55] MrRGnome : I like to get a little bit in before the major resistance incase it bounces off it, and cost average the rest of what I anticipate a reasonable drop would be
[2016-10-07 14:48:44] wurstgelee : longed some
[2016-10-07 14:48:47] wurstgelee : just in case
[2016-10-07 14:48:50] wurstgelee : ready to add more ;)
[2016-10-07 14:49:56] MrRGnome : Yeah same. gl
[2016-10-07 14:50:51] wurstgelee : i like to think it's less luck than buying here actually is. but thank you ;)
[2016-10-07 14:51:16] wurstgelee : same 2 u ofc
[2016-10-07 14:51:19] wurstgelee : :p
[2016-10-07 14:51:34] MrRGnome : It's all luck, any of these suckers could tank unexpectedly due to a security issue or worse.
[2016-10-07 14:52:23] wurstgelee : yeah ofc. i dont consider that option normally tho
[2016-10-07 14:53:00] wurstgelee : after all, it's a really rare event
[2016-10-07 14:53:55] MrRGnome : The risk that the coin I am trading, or god forbid bitmex, goes under is always a risk on the back of my mind. It only has to happen once to wipe you out, I've narrowly avoided 3 exchange failures by days so I'm somewhat paranoid maybe.
[2016-10-07 14:53:57] wurstgelee : also it's unpredictable and random (unless insider knowledge ofc) so no way to put tat into the equation
[2016-10-07 14:54:59] wurstgelee : never got fucked by major hacks or exchanges going down - luckily - but to get fully wiped out, i would have to have all funds at one exchange
[2016-10-07 14:55:17] wurstgelee : if u do that, u deserve to get rekt imo. at least a little bit ;)
[2016-10-07 14:55:31] MrRGnome : I put it into my equation in the form of only moving substantial funds to bitmex when I am needing a significant cost averaging due to a poor position, like monero I got caught in that horrible dump recently and had to deposit more btc to keep cost averaging down. When i got out with my profit eventually I then withdrew the btc that night. That kind of thing.
[2016-10-07 14:55:50] wurstgelee : MrRGnome: yep :)
[2016-10-07 14:56:44] wurstgelee : no need to keep unused btw at a place u dont control 100% imo
[2016-10-07 14:56:55] wurstgelee : *btc not btw
[2016-10-07 14:56:56] MrRGnome : Absolutely.
[2016-10-07 15:34:39] MrRGnome : What happened tot he REP order book? There's a .002 spread!
[2016-10-07 15:35:46] wurstgelee : yep, happens from time to time
[2016-10-07 15:35:54] wurstgelee : MM vanishes on moves and returns sometimes later
[2016-10-07 15:35:59] wurstgelee : annoying, isnt it?
[2016-10-07 15:36:24] mjones : yeah
[2016-10-07 15:37:14] habibi : yep, trading becomes uncomfortable with this actions
[2016-10-07 15:50:29] mjones : mm came back on one side of the orderbook
[2016-10-07 16:07:05] mjones : now xmr orderbook is empty
[2016-10-07 16:07:59] AudibleScience : do liquidations still end up in the book now?
[2016-10-07 16:08:36] BitMEX_Greg : AudibleScience: Yes, liquidations will occur and go to the orderbook first to be filled. We then attempt to aggress it and if not then an autodeleveraging event occurs
[2016-10-07 16:10:04] AudibleScience : nice
[2016-10-07 16:11:02] AudibleScience : I really like the new system at the moment!
[2016-10-07 16:12:03] sleger : BitMEX_Greg: isnt there insurance fund before "and if not then an autodeleveraging event occurs" ?
[2016-10-07 16:12:09] sleger : maybe you should ask an admin ?
[2016-10-07 16:12:40] BitMEX_Greg : thats why I said we aggress it
[2016-10-07 16:12:54] BitMEX_Greg : the insurance funds are used to aggress liquidations
[2016-10-07 16:13:01] sleger : okayyyyy
[2016-10-07 16:13:50] MrRGnome : Does the insurance fund come into the calculation for anticipated liquidations? Does it protect profitable positions from being force closed to meet liquidation volume?
[2016-10-07 16:14:54] BitMEX_Greg : We have a system that aims to avoid liquidations @MrRGnome
[2016-10-07 16:15:09] BitMEX_Greg : Take a read of: https://www.bitmex.com/app/liquidation#Minimisation-of-Liquidations
[2016-10-07 16:15:14] MrRGnome : That doesn't answer my question, i understand we are all doing everything to mitigate liquidations.
[2016-10-07 16:15:45] MrRGnome : I am asking specifically if the insurance fund is used before force closing profitable positions to meet liquidation volume.
[2016-10-07 16:16:38] BitMEX_Greg : Yes as indicated earlier, we aggress liquidated orders in an attempt to fill them in the market before we auto deleverage other positions
[2016-10-07 16:20:08] MrRGnome : Maybe I'm just having trouble understanding your wording. I understand you attempt to fill liquidations on the market. I understand when this fails you will close profitable positions to meet the liquidation volume necessary. And finally I understand that there is an insurance fund used to 'aggress' liquidations. In what order do these three mitigation strategies occur, and quite simply, will the insurance fund be exhausted before profitable positions are closed? I'm interested because then if I can see the status of the insurance fund that gives me some risk indicators.
[2016-10-07 16:20:55] MrRGnome : The same risk indicators I was using with DPE. Which would be convenient for me.
[2016-10-07 16:22:43] BitMEX_Greg : MrRGnome: We have the same strategy that we had for preventing DPE as preventing ADL
[2016-10-07 16:22:53] MrRGnome : https://www.bitmex.com/app/insuranceFund Seems to lead me to believe that the insurance fund is a shield for ADL. Is the insurance fund shared between all markets? If this is how it works then I'm not unhapppy at all.
[2016-10-07 16:22:58] BitMEX_Greg : You can view the insurance fund here:
[2016-10-07 16:23:00] BitMEX_Greg : https://www.bitmex.com/app/insuranceFund
[2016-10-07 16:23:47] Sqrl : What Greg is trying very hard to not say is this: The insurance fund is NOT shared between different markets.
[2016-10-07 16:23:56] MrRGnome : It's not?
[2016-10-07 16:24:10] Sqrl : No.
[2016-10-07 16:25:36] MrRGnome : So where can I get the insurance fund information for a given market? If it's shared that's great, this is all I need and I'm very happy with my risk management ability, I just need enough information to go on about how much of an insurance shield exists
[2016-10-07 16:27:42] Sqrl : I've asked that exact question previously. No answer was forthcoming.
[2016-10-07 16:28:04] BitMEX_Greg : MrRGnome: It is not shared between markets. That is whatever contract contributes, then that is what will be used for that specific contract. The specific breakdown is in development
[2016-10-07 16:28:26] MrRGnome : Is there a way for me to know how much has thus far been contributed by each contract?
[2016-10-07 16:28:30] MrRGnome : Oh it's in dev. I see.
[2016-10-07 16:28:49] BitMEX_Greg : We publish an API data feed on liquidations
[2016-10-07 16:28:54] BitMEX_Greg : I believe that's the only way so far
[2016-10-07 16:29:07] MrRGnome : Oh, so i can aggregate this info myself? That's great
[2016-10-07 16:29:16] MrRGnome : What percent of liquidations goes tot he fund?
[2016-10-07 16:29:49] BitMEX_Greg : MrRGnome: "The Insurance Fund grows from liquidations that were able to be executed in the market at a price better than the bankruptcy price of that particular position."
[2016-10-07 16:29:52] zanza : $3.50 per liquidation
