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.

[2016-12-14 20:00:12] BitMEX_Greg : PARAFFIN: You can use the chart to see the history of traded prices. You can always use limit orders or take profit orders if you want to close a short around $770

[2016-12-14 23:06:36] BTCDJS : KingTuna: not 100. But I think a retrace to 720 would be sufficient

[2016-12-14 23:34:05] KingTuna : Does Bitmex offer a 'trailing' stop loss?

[2016-12-15 00:05:00] mjones : eth going down a bit more
[2016-12-15 00:05:17] mjones : after 1 confirmation it takes a few minutes for it to show up here

[2016-12-15 00:44:04] sleger : you can make 100 btc transactions instead of watching a girls show
[2016-12-15 00:44:10] PARAFFIN : sleger: right however if btc hit 1k the fee would increase too right?
[2016-12-15 00:44:55] sleger : then you can use ETC, its much cheaper

[2016-12-15 01:22:12] mjones : i have not done it in a long time
[2016-12-15 01:22:20] sleger : the spread itself if > 1%
[2016-12-15 01:22:35] mjones : you gotta be lucky to pull it off
[2016-12-15 01:22:58] j8 : i guess so lol
[2016-12-15 01:22:58] bingbongfly : j8: Im 20x long, from 1255
[2016-12-15 01:23:07] bingbongfly : my liq is 1067
[2016-12-15 01:23:12] bingbongfly : So not too bad
[2016-12-15 01:23:24] mjones : if you play it that way you can 20x it
[2016-12-15 01:23:36] sleger : so you're not 20x long
[2016-12-15 01:23:39] bingbongfly : I touched - 100%, but now up 134% roe
[2016-12-15 01:23:40] sleger : bingbongfly:

[2016-12-15 01:24:22] bingbongfly : sleger: Could you explain cross? im new to this contracts
[2016-12-15 01:24:24] sleger : otherwise before -100% you would have been liquidated dummy
[2016-12-15 01:24:36] Rado : bingbongfly: look at the leverage bar
[2016-12-15 01:24:45] Rado : it will tell you the effective leverage

[2016-12-15 01:27:08] bingbongfly : insufficiant balance
[2016-12-15 01:27:10] bingbongfly : 1066
[2016-12-15 01:27:20] sleger : then youre fine
[2016-12-15 01:27:23] BitMEX_Greg : bingbongfly: Cross margin means you use all available funds in your account to prevent liquidation
[2016-12-15 01:27:39] bingbongfly : BitMEX_Greg: Alright, thanks for clarifying.
[2016-12-15 01:28:01] BitMEX_Greg : bingbongfly: You can read more here: https://www.bitmex.com/app/isolatedMargin
[2016-12-15 01:30:41] j8 : at the bottom of the Margin panel it says your effective leverage over your full account
[2016-12-15 01:32:04] j8 : where's rapidtrades to tell us the PBOC fixing
[2016-12-15 01:32:08] bingbongfly : it says 4.20 now lol thanks mate
[2016-12-15 01:32:53] j8 : yeah, you probably don't want to be at 20x anyway
[2016-12-15 01:33:18] mjones : lets see how many take etc profit
[2016-12-15 01:33:21] bingbongfly : j8: Yea true, would have gotten liquidated ages ago
[2016-12-15 01:33:38] bingbongfly : mjones: I took a little bit. still have more then 70% of my original position open
[2016-12-15 01:34:24] bingbongfly : Ive bought spot etc too, sell target around 0.0018-0.002
[2016-12-15 01:34:27] Rado : PBOC sets USD/CNY central rate at 6.9289 (vs. yesterday at 6.9028)
[2016-12-15 01:36:45] j8 : you're becoming him :O
[2016-12-15 01:37:23] j8 : next you'll be insulting our mothers
[2016-12-15 01:40:28] sleger : lol

[2016-12-15 01:52:53] imabeast : think it may cool down a little
[2016-12-15 02:03:49] mjones : or some insane bull or a couple traders could pump it even higher
[2016-12-15 02:04:12] mjones : the ones that dont look at charts and just buy because why not
[2016-12-15 02:05:11] mjones : 50 btc and we're at 0.0014
[2016-12-15 02:07:07] mjones : or the guy with buy orders takes them down and we're back below 0.0013
[2016-12-15 02:07:35] mjones : open contracts went down about 30,000 so some taking profit
[2016-12-15 02:10:31] rms : long eth is probably less risky than short etc
[2016-12-15 02:10:45] rms : the 1:10 ratio was strong for a long time and ETH might catch up
[2016-12-15 02:16:24] arbitrage001 : good morning
[2016-12-15 02:16:33] arbitrage001 : fellow trolls
[2016-12-15 02:18:52] mjones : etc whale with 100,000+ etc will dump the price down
[2016-12-15 02:19:18] rms : you mean the DAO hacker?
[2016-12-15 02:19:30] mjones : indeed
[2016-12-15 02:20:12] tb : is it bad if im more than 10% of the open interest on etc?
[2016-12-15 02:20:36] mjones : no. that's happened to me before on some coins. and settlement is near
[2016-12-15 02:24:47] mjones : i have 6% of open ETC contracts
[2016-12-15 02:24:58] mjones : didnt realize so many were closed recently
[2016-12-15 02:25:16] mjones : in b4 i get rekt
[2016-12-15 02:30:45] tb : you are short?
[2016-12-15 02:37:36] jose : tb: it depends on wich side you are ;)
[2016-12-15 02:41:43] mjones : i am short
[2016-12-15 02:41:53] mjones : guessing this is the top
[2016-12-15 02:46:50] tb : i want to get longer
[2016-12-15 02:46:55] tb : someone hit my bid
[2016-12-15 02:49:01] l3f : BitMEX_Greg: Is it possible to get quarterlies for all of the altcoins?
[2016-12-15 02:49:11] BitMEX_Greg : l3f: Unlikely anytime soon
[2016-12-15 02:49:14] l3f : 7D is just too much management
[2016-12-15 02:49:17] l3f : why
[2016-12-15 02:49:21] l3f : no liquidity?
[2016-12-15 02:49:47] l3f : BitMEX_Greg:
[2016-12-15 02:49:55] BitMEX_Greg : MM don't want to be bag holding for that long
[2016-12-15 02:50:05] tb : shouldn't they be hedged?
[2016-12-15 02:50:32] BitMEX_Greg : exactly, so there becomes a point where they don't quote one side anymore if they hit their inventory limits for example
[2016-12-15 02:50:44] BitMEX_Greg : and it could be possible that you have a one sided market for 3 months
[2016-12-15 02:51:06] BitMEX_Greg : Just the borrow markets are not as liquid as bitcoin yet, so it becomes harder for these guys to manage bigger inventories
[2016-12-15 02:51:32] tb : but how do they deal with settlement deltas?
[2016-12-15 02:51:41] l3f : By MM you mean the people that MM on here?
[2016-12-15 02:51:50] BitMEX_Greg : market makers yeah
[2016-12-15 02:51:51] tb : instant deltas you get when bitmex settles
[2016-12-15 02:52:28] BitMEX_Greg : we have a settlement window, usually 2 hours or 30 mins. I imagine they unwind during that period
[2016-12-15 02:55:35] j8 : you can look at it as 1/30th of your position being settled every minute for 30 mins.. it's equivalent to the whole thing settling at the TWAP
[2016-12-15 03:38:32] l3f : haha premium is now negative
[2016-12-15 03:40:40] l3f : Oh what the fuck
[2016-12-15 03:40:51] l3f : Why did XBTUSD and XBTZ16 swap places
[2016-12-15 03:40:54] l3f : BitMEX_Greg:
[2016-12-15 03:41:14] BitMEX_Greg : l3f: What do you mean?
[2016-12-15 03:41:29] l3f : XBTUSD used to be listed before XBTZ16
[2016-12-15 03:41:33] l3f : on the top bar
[2016-12-15 03:41:44] j8 : XBTZ16 had higher 24h volume
[2016-12-15 03:41:47] BitMEX_Greg : It is based on turnover, XBTZ16 has more turnover
[2016-12-15 03:41:56] l3f : oh for reals?
[2016-12-15 03:42:08] l3f : lol I shorted the wrong thing based on muscle memory
[2016-12-15 03:42:20] l3f : fuck me right
[2016-12-15 05:59:21] rapidtrades : BitMEX_Greg: yeah dude don't go around changing places willy nilly
[2016-12-15 05:59:28] rapidtrades : not cool
[2016-12-15 06:00:52] rapidtrades : z16 only has high volume cos that idiot fomoed then got liquidated
[2016-12-15 06:02:01] rapidtrades : if ur determining places based on volume it should be on 30 days or smth more stable...and u should changes places every friday or smth so ppl are prepared
[2016-12-15 06:27:24] imabeast : etc going down
[2016-12-15 08:13:06] rapidtrades : sup

[2016-12-15 08:33:14] l3f : what has changed?
[2016-12-15 08:34:30] rms : just getting back to a more normal spread, it was odd that the spread had collapsed
[2016-12-15 08:34:37] rms : expresses general bullish sentiment
[2016-12-15 08:34:45] rms : people think new okcoin quarterlies is going to start a pump
[2016-12-15 08:35:32] l3f : What time exactly is okcoin quaterlies coming out?

[2016-12-15 08:38:02] BitMEX_Arthur : same time as our `XBTH17` and `XBCH17`
[2016-12-15 08:39:18] rms : so that means a bit less than 24 hours i guess?
[2016-12-15 08:39:32] j8 : usually their new contract launches 10-15 minutes after settlement, so you might get a small headstart here
[2016-12-15 08:40:33] rms : http://getjumbucks.com/settlement/

[2016-12-15 09:33:18] JuanQinobi : How does the kaiko price computed?
[2016-12-15 09:38:14] BitMEX_Arthur : JuanQinobi: It's an equally weighted index comprised of OKCoin USD and Bitstamp
[2016-12-15 09:38:19] BitMEX_Arthur : ok coin usd
[2016-12-15 09:39:26] aethlios : BitMEX_Arthur: Hello, I would like to see a 12month xbtusd like the 3month. Will be more volatile and we can trade the spread, also will have a nice curve for btc up to 12 months.
[2016-12-15 09:41:46] JuanQinobi : BitMEX_Arthur: ok thanks still a little bit complicated though
[2016-12-15 09:42:38] l3f : aethlios: BitMEX_Arthur: me too, although it will be complete insanity
[2016-12-15 09:42:47] l3f : and MM will bag hold
[2016-12-15 09:43:41] aethlios : and bitmex will be ahead of others as noone has a 12 month
[2016-12-15 09:44:16] l3f : aethlios: maybe there's a reason other platforms don't have a 12m :O
[2016-12-15 09:50:41] BitMEX_Arthur : There is no MM interest for that tenor unfort
[2016-12-15 09:51:01] BitMEX_Arthur : As you correctly pointed out, no one wants to take that sort of rate risk
[2016-12-15 09:51:07] BitMEX_Arthur : on a fixed basis

[2016-12-15 12:30:01] l3f : conventional wisdom also says reversals are also rare
[2016-12-15 12:30:14] l3f : so it will neither go up or reverse

[2016-12-15 12:31:02] djkaltenudel : quarterlies are a pump train
[2016-12-15 12:31:12] djkaltenudel : no orders with 0% premium will be filled
[2016-12-15 12:31:36] djkaltenudel : so yes it may correct down after the initial opening
[2016-12-15 12:31:47] djkaltenudel : but on opening there will be a pump
[2016-12-15 12:31:56] djkaltenudel : at least for futures
[2016-12-15 12:31:58] aethlios : 20 usd premium is cheap for 105 days

[2016-12-15 14:17:14] l3f : I mean it's legit
[2016-12-15 14:17:32] rapidtrades : it's NOT an exchange
[2016-12-15 14:17:44] rapidtrades : nothing is exchanged here, its btc in, btc out
[2016-12-15 14:18:11] rapidtrades : their benchmark should be okc futures and bitvc
[2016-12-15 14:22:46] mjones : I agree
[2016-12-15 14:25:30] BitMEX_Greg : How about margin based exchanges. Since technically you are not really exchanging anything as you need to close the position out before you can withdraw the funds
[2016-12-15 14:31:40] sleger : volume should be compared with similar leverage
[2016-12-15 14:32:01] sleger : even bitfinex has a large advantage over bitstamp
[2016-12-15 14:33:55] rapidtrades : that's not important imo
[2016-12-15 14:34:14] sleger : do you think the volume would be the same here if leverage was 3x ?
[2016-12-15 14:34:21] rapidtrades : on bitfinex you can wire USD and exchange it to BTC
[2016-12-15 14:34:25] rapidtrades : that's exchange
[2016-12-15 14:34:49] BitMEX_Greg : If you exchange it on their margin platform, is that still exchanging?
[2016-12-15 14:34:56] sleger : it is the same orderbook
[2016-12-15 14:35:03] BitMEX_Greg : But you cannot withdraw that btc
[2016-12-15 14:35:09] sleger : you can transfer usd and claim the position and withdraw that btc
[2016-12-15 14:35:10] rapidtrades : fair point
[2016-12-15 14:35:14] rapidtrades : greg
[2016-12-15 14:35:47] sleger : there is margin trading on regular equities exchange, that is still very different from futures
[2016-12-15 14:35:57] BitMEX_Greg : I agree comparing futures to spot volume is like comparing apples to oranges. But XBTUSD is more of a margin based product given the funding
[2016-12-15 14:36:48] sleger : there is no DPE / ADL on margin on bitfinex
[2016-12-15 14:36:55] rapidtrades : not exactly because the funding fluctuates +- here...while I traded on bitfinex longs always paid
[2016-12-15 14:37:00] sleger : they just take all your money :)
[2016-12-15 14:37:12] rapidtrades : f*cking rats
[2016-12-15 14:37:52] sleger : but real margin trading is still real exchange => technically there is no risk of dpe/adl unlike the product here because the usd dont exist
[2016-12-15 14:38:46] sleger : but to go back to comparing, it depends what the goal of the comparison is, all exchanges are different : product, leverage, fees... and all impact volume somehow.
[2016-12-15 14:39:03] rapidtrades : i wish there was a way to see what % of volume okc is faking
[2016-12-15 14:39:12] rapidtrades : so we could do honest comparison
[2016-12-15 14:40:08] sleger : there is no faking at 0kcoin
[2016-12-15 14:40:11] sleger : bitvc yes
[2016-12-15 14:40:26] sleger : i mean 0kcoin futures
[2016-12-15 14:40:58] rapidtrades : sleger: plz we've been over this
[2016-12-15 14:41:23] sleger : yes and you accused them of faking volume but dont have any proof
[2016-12-15 14:41:41] rapidtrades : i told u my proof, its smth everyone can test
[2016-12-15 14:41:50] rapidtrades : watch the market when we're flat
[2016-12-15 14:41:53] sleger : and im telling you they arent, just watch the orderbook and the ticker feed on a decent internet connection you'll see
[2016-12-15 14:42:12] rapidtrades : it will keep printing in the middle....but once u put in a bid in the middle, noone will fill u
[2016-12-15 14:42:13] sleger : fine lets do it now
[2016-12-15 14:42:28] sleger : quaterly. the most volume
[2016-12-15 14:42:46] sleger : trade at the offer
[2016-12-15 14:42:52] rapidtrades : ur connection doesn't matter cos the trades are still printed in recent trades
[2016-12-15 14:43:02] mjones : not looking good for zec holders
[2016-12-15 14:43:52] BitMEX_Greg : rapidtrades: @sleger I've seen it before too. I traded there a while back, would be best bid / offer. Saw volume increasing but I didn't get any fills
[2016-12-15 14:44:26] rapidtrades : yes i dunno how he can't see it, it's very obvious
[2016-12-15 14:44:29] sleger : it happened only for a bit at the beginning 2 years ago
[2016-12-15 14:44:45] rapidtrades : i happened as recently as 8 months ago when i still traded there
[2016-12-15 14:44:53] BitMEX_Greg : I haven't looked recently tbh
[2016-12-15 14:45:12] Cryptlex : you guys sure it isnt some high frequency tactics?
[2016-12-15 14:45:30] BitMEX_Greg : I gave up when I had stops executed, or hunted rather, at rediculous prices
[2016-12-15 14:45:43] sleger : record market data then look at it
[2016-12-15 14:45:46] sleger : then we can talk
[2016-12-15 14:46:54] rapidtrades : ok so what would be ur explanation for my example above?
[2016-12-15 14:47:15] rapidtrades : to me it doesn't make sense because you pay fees for every day
[2016-12-15 14:47:25] rapidtrades : *trade

[2016-12-15 14:50:18] sleger : whats 2 year in the past from today ?
[2016-12-15 14:51:01] sleger : I already explained why they did that, there was a volume contest at the time. The first prize was a mercedes C class new
[2016-12-15 14:51:15] sleger : I was going to win it so they made a fake volume bot
[2016-12-15 14:51:26] sleger : I was told after the fact by employees who left shortly after
[2016-12-15 14:51:30] l3f : what the fuck?
[2016-12-15 14:51:53] l3f : how much trading fees did they scam you
[2016-12-15 14:52:09] sleger : they did not scam me of anything
[2016-12-15 14:52:19] sleger : they just didnt want to have to pay me that car
[2016-12-15 14:52:38] l3f : you didn't pay any trading fees to get your "volume" up?
[2016-12-15 14:52:49] sleger : i didnt get my volume up on purpose
[2016-12-15 14:52:58] sleger : i was trading what i wanted to trade and was profitable
[2016-12-15 14:53:12] sleger : i didnt pay extra to try to win if thats what you think
[2016-12-15 14:53:29] l3f : lol
[2016-12-15 14:53:40] l3f : so why won the car?

[2016-12-15 14:54:21] sleger : i guess
[2016-12-15 14:56:40] rapidtrades : that shows their character
[2016-12-15 14:56:54] rapidtrades : there is no honor in china
[2016-12-15 14:57:33] sleger : http://soft.chinabyte.com/248/13135748.shtml
[2016-12-15 14:57:39] sleger : from nov 2014
[2016-12-15 14:58:13] l3f : did you at least get the macbook?
[2016-12-15 14:58:22] sleger : i got 2 macbooks and 2 iphone
[2016-12-15 14:58:29] sleger : because i won the ltc contest
[2016-12-15 14:58:31] sleger : as well
[2016-12-15 14:58:41] rapidtrades : nice
[2016-12-15 14:58:57] sleger : but they just sent me bitcoin for the value of it (a bit less of course...)
[2016-12-15 14:59:08] rapidtrades : lol ofc
[2016-12-15 14:59:13] rapidtrades : how much less?
[2016-12-15 14:59:40] sleger : they used some weird average price of bitcoin over some imaginary period to convert the value....
[2016-12-15 14:59:46] sleger : so they gave me like 75% of it
[2016-12-15 14:59:54] rapidtrades : lol
[2016-12-15 15:00:11] rapidtrades : and u still kept trading there? i would be so pissed
[2016-12-15 15:00:26] rapidtrades : that's adding insult to injury
[2016-12-15 15:00:42] sleger : i made much more by trading than the prize
[2016-12-15 15:00:44] rapidtrades : first they cheated u out of the car then gave u 75% of the latptops
[2016-12-15 15:00:50] sleger : so yes i did continue and still do
[2016-12-15 15:00:58] sleger : they never stole any of my money
[2016-12-15 15:01:05] sleger : unlike finex or bitmex
[2016-12-15 15:01:09] rapidtrades : unlike bitfienx
[2016-12-15 15:01:23] l3f : bitmex stole your money?
[2016-12-15 15:01:46] rapidtrades : they changed the terms on short notice
[2016-12-15 15:01:55] sleger : long story.... they made a change to how the swap worked without notice that destroyed a 10$ premium that i had bought
[2016-12-15 15:02:11] sleger : 10$ * 1000 btc
[2016-12-15 15:02:52] rapidtrades : my story is they capped the ZEC....after removing limits 1 day earlier
[2016-12-15 15:03:21] rapidtrades : official explanation 'we didn't think it will get that high'
[2016-12-15 15:04:12] suriah : with such low supply we all knew it would go 100+ btc easy, they are not fools
[2016-12-15 15:04:37] sleger : almost noone thought that high no
[2016-12-15 15:04:47] sleger : and you werent here to say that before it launched either
[2016-12-15 15:04:57] l3f : yeah I left some sells at 2 and 3 btc
[2016-12-15 15:04:58] l3f : and went to bed
[2016-12-15 15:05:09] l3f : missed the fireworks but it must have been insane
[2016-12-15 15:05:17] zanza : sleger if I recall, the price was in the 4 or 500's then, if you would have just held you would have made tons of returns
[2016-12-15 15:05:20] suriah : I did say it will go easy past 100 btc
[2016-12-15 15:05:24] zanza : since the price kept rallying
[2016-12-15 15:05:30] zanza : actually it was like 640
[2016-12-15 15:06:05] suriah : simple math to see that and if you dont understand it cant be helped
[2016-12-15 15:06:08] rapidtrades : problem is ZEC rallied from 0.025 to 1.25 on launch day....and there's no reason to expect 10 not to be hit with that record
[2016-12-15 15:06:15] sleger : zanza: i would have made money because i chose to be long, that extra 10$ was still stolen away, so that's completely irrelevant
[2016-12-15 15:06:42] sleger : suriah: you did say that when the price was 0.01 ?
[2016-12-15 15:06:56] sleger : because when it went above 1 that was easy and many people did say that
[2016-12-15 15:07:09] zanza : but you have to know the swap goal is the mirror SPOT price, so if it was trading way out of line they would make a change
[2016-12-15 15:07:33] zanza : the funding rate is what keeps the swaps in line with spot
[2016-12-15 15:07:45] suriah : sleger: I was ADL many times on here but came to that conclusion about 0.07 after discover slow start of 11 coins
[2016-12-15 15:07:48] sleger : zanza: contract did not say that contract would change to keep it in line no
[2016-12-15 15:08:23] sleger : zanza: i only wish they do the same to you so you will shut up
[2016-12-15 15:08:51] sleger : if it went in front of a judge I give them 15% chance of winning
[2016-12-15 15:09:01] suriah : oh and then they change contract and destroy all bitmex credibility but I still trade here
[2016-12-15 15:09:03] zanza : good luck in Seychelles
[2016-12-15 15:09:10] l3f : zanza: aye
[2016-12-15 15:10:18] suriah : sleger: but I ask you, why you still trade here knowing what you now know?
[2016-12-15 15:10:32] l3f : suriah: he's profiting of course
[2016-12-15 15:10:45] suriah : exactly
[2016-12-15 15:11:38] sleger : suriah: i trade 10% of what I would otherwise trade so bitmex knows how much they lose in fees (they refused to reimburse me for the loss)
[2016-12-15 15:11:38] suriah : my business morals guide me to integrity and I would leave this place for dust but the leverage is most useful tool
[2016-12-15 15:12:12] rapidtrades : suriah: only a matter of time till u get mexed :)
[2016-12-15 15:12:25] sleger : but that doesnt apply to me, everyone saw what happened, they have just as much reason as I do
[2016-12-15 15:12:50] suriah : sleger: if the exchange fucks me hard enough I will be sure to fuck them rest assured
[2016-12-15 15:13:04] rapidtrades : sleger: but ppl don't learn until it happens to them
[2016-12-15 15:13:10] l3f : did sleger start with a small loan of a million dollars?
[2016-12-15 15:13:40] sleger : rapidtrades: you complain about zec but you also still trade here
[2016-12-15 15:13:40] rapidtrades : like i didn't make any changes after they screwed u..i only cut back on my trading here after they ZECed me
