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.

[2016-12-23 18:02:06] BitMEX_Sam : elmorte: They've had stability issues to be sure but their site has finally gotten pretty good; in fact, it looks a lot like BitMEX now
[2016-12-23 18:03:15] Hawkeye : Go advice kraken to do some reworking too ;)
[2016-12-23 18:03:16] elmorte : I don't know man...fool me once, shame on you...
[2016-12-23 18:03:27] Hawkeye : and btc-e.... thats almost an ancient site
[2016-12-23 18:03:29] javierstone : here we go
[2016-12-23 18:03:48] elmorte : Hawkeye: btc-e works perfectly :) minimalist to the core
[2016-12-23 18:04:02] Hawkeye : true and i use the metatrader there :)
[2016-12-23 18:04:42] Hawkeye : but still i like to see financial details, a risk/reward reminder in the confirmation etc etc bitmex is really really above expectations on that
[2016-12-23 18:04:55] BitMEX_Sam : btc-e does a great job of making money
[2016-12-23 18:05:17] BitMEX_Sam : Most people forget about xbtce as well
[2016-12-23 18:05:27] elmorte : BitMEX_Sam: basically I didn't heed the first warning, so the second time they went down cost me a lot. I refuse to give them another chance to screw me over...is that just ego fckin with me?
[2016-12-23 18:06:02] BitMEX_Sam : elmorte: No, that's being reasonable, IMO more traders should shun the exchanges that abuse them
[2016-12-23 18:06:11] elmorte : Cheers
[2016-12-23 18:16:15] elmorte : BitMEX_Sam: Why is the margin on my XBCH17 is close to 5% while for XBTH17 is around 1%?
[2016-12-23 18:16:52] BitMEX_Sam : elmorte: Depends on your unrealised profit
[2016-12-23 18:17:01] elmorte : How so?
[2016-12-23 18:17:23] BitMEX_Sam : Unrealised profit is kept assigned to the position. You can also adjust your margin by moving the leverage slider.
[2016-12-23 18:17:47] elmorte : I'm on cross and I'm cool with that...
[2016-12-23 18:18:18] BitMEX_Sam : Yeah, so what that means is that one position has more unrealised profit than the other, so its effective leverage is lower due to that
[2016-12-23 18:19:22] elmorte : Plain english? My profitable position has a higher margin then my losing one...
[2016-12-23 18:19:32] elmorte : I'm trying to understand
[2016-12-23 18:19:36] aaaaa : what do you mean when you say you are on cross @elmorte ???
[2016-12-23 18:19:55] elmorte : aaaaa: you know, like Good Friday
[2016-12-23 18:20:09] BitMEX_Sam : Where are you getting this 5% from @elmorte - which column?
[2016-12-23 18:20:27] elmorte : Margin / Position Value
[2016-12-23 18:20:56] BitMEX_Sam : Yeah, so the profitable position has more margin assigned to it, because it has the initial margin you put in when you opened it, plus profit
[2016-12-23 18:21:07] BitMEX_Sam : so effectively you have less leverage because of the profit.
[2016-12-23 18:21:15] aaaaa : "I'm on cross" is like I am feeling good?
[2016-12-23 18:21:47] elmorte : aha, so my UPnL is in my margin....so what would that lower my available balance?
[2016-12-23 18:22:02] elmorte : aaaaa: I;m on cross margin, means using all my available funds
[2016-12-23 18:22:24] QuantFocus : huge position reductions from top holders on OKC. is the top in?
[2016-12-23 18:22:33] QuantFocus : I feel like we get one more push today
[2016-12-23 18:22:42] elmorte : so would that lower my available balance? Basically, would that affect the liqd position for other contracts? @BitMEX_Sam
[2016-12-23 18:22:57] BitMEX_Wally : elmorte: Unrealised PNL increases your Margin Balance, but then it goes into the Position Margin so your Available Balance stays the same
[2016-12-23 18:25:02] elmorte : Ok...I have to empirically test that @BitMEX_Wally :)
[2016-12-23 18:25:24] wurstgelee : u dont need
[2016-12-23 18:25:27] wurstgelee : its correct ;)
[2016-12-23 18:27:02] elmorte : So if I close the contract and reopen it at the same price, my available balance would remain the same? I'm not so sure...
[2016-12-23 18:27:03] BitMEX_Sam : elmorte: Feel free to make a Testnet account and ratchet up a few positions to get a feel for it
[2016-12-23 18:27:11] elmorte : BitMEX_Sam: word
[2016-12-23 18:27:21] elmorte : I need to get a profitable position first...
[2016-12-23 18:27:41] QuantFocus : elmorte: amen brother
[2016-12-23 18:27:54] BitMEX_Wally : elmorte: If you close and re-open then you would release the unrealisedPNL as realisedPNL
[2016-12-23 18:27:58] BitMEX_Wally : So your available balance would increase
[2016-12-23 18:28:04] inconspic : any1 got a good chart/sheet for zcash supply over time?
[2016-12-23 18:28:13] BitMEX_Sam : Well... go long XBTUSD and short XBTH17 on testnet - one of them will be profitable, eh?
[2016-12-23 18:28:44] elmorte : BitMEX_Wally: Yah, which would give me more breathing space with liqd prices...
[2016-12-23 18:28:56] m3s : yawn
[2016-12-23 18:29:05] m3s : cmon BTC dump or pump :D
[2016-12-23 18:29:10] BitMEX_Wally : Basically all unrealisedPNL is locked into the position as position margin, but we are working on improving our risk system to let this be unlocked by resetting the leverage
[2016-12-23 18:29:14] BitMEX_Wally : Then you could use it on other positions
[2016-12-23 18:29:32] elmorte : Yeah, there used to be the rebalance
[2016-12-23 18:30:26] QuantFocus : why is DASH so resilient?
[2016-12-23 18:30:34] QuantFocus : these are the important questions in life.
[2016-12-23 18:40:07] elmorte : I never got into Dash...guess that crypto newscycle skipped me....that was after ETH?
[2016-12-23 18:40:50] elmorte : Speaking of alts, where's the hell's @jung1?
[2016-12-23 18:45:35] NL007 : hi
[2016-12-23 18:46:24] elmorte : How you doing?
[2016-12-23 18:50:27] nOgAnOo : Hey all
[2016-12-23 18:50:36] nOgAnOo : So I ended up making 700% my first night trading here
[2016-12-23 18:50:46] nOgAnOo : I should be showing up on the leaderboard soon
[2016-12-23 18:51:06] QuantFocus : nOgAnOo: don't worry, you'll lose it all before you make leaderboard
[2016-12-23 18:51:19] m3s : nOgAnOo: gg grats
[2016-12-23 18:51:25] nOgAnOo : I already cashed out all the profit. Thanks m3s
[2016-12-23 18:51:42] QuantFocus : u wot m8?
[2016-12-23 18:51:59] nOgAnOo : Cashing out, it's when you sell your Bitcoin to buy weed
[2016-12-23 18:52:17] QuantFocus : if you like weed, you should check out cannabisrevolution.us
[2016-12-23 18:52:21] QuantFocus : Tokes Platform project
[2016-12-23 18:52:35] nOgAnOo : Ok I'll check it.. I made 20 new breeds myself
[2016-12-23 18:52:41] QuantFocus : These guys are professional. I dumped some btc into the ICO
[2016-12-23 18:53:24] nOgAnOo : Yeah now that I made some BitCredits I'm gonna diversify like 5-10 dollars into a lot of different assets
[2016-12-23 18:53:35] m3s : lol
[2016-12-23 18:53:47] nOgAnOo : Wait for those 40x pumps :)
[2016-12-23 18:54:01] elmorte : Weed's a gateway drug...just skip straight to the real thing
[2016-12-23 18:54:17] m3s : hes already here so too late now
[2016-12-23 18:54:17] QuantFocus : don't do meth like @elmorte
[2016-12-23 18:54:40] nOgAnOo : Word
[2016-12-23 18:54:42] rustiv : weed is the one and only drug
[2016-12-23 18:55:04] nOgAnOo : I agree, I got some vicodin for my dental surgery and never used
[2016-12-23 18:55:17] elmorte : QuantFocus: total double meaning to that
[2016-12-23 18:55:27] anonymous789 : real traders snort cocaine
[2016-12-23 18:55:33] nOgAnOo : But in all reality there is no better high than 200x yen trading
[2016-12-23 18:55:55] elmorte : anonymous789: no, their bosses do
[2016-12-23 18:56:42] QuantFocus : i'm out for a bit. you guys take it easy on the leverage
[2016-12-23 18:56:48] nOgAnOo : Fill me at 898, friends
[2016-12-23 18:57:22] nOgAnOo : Thank you.

[2016-12-23 18:59:44] QuantFocus : butt finesse
[2016-12-23 19:01:21] Hawkeye : lol
[2016-12-23 19:01:33] Hawkeye : How to make it even more like a game ;)
[2016-12-23 19:01:36] elmorte : Tough competition though...to win the biggest liquidation, you had to lose like 300BTC?
[2016-12-23 19:01:53] Hawkeye : ohh i wont be able to compete against a 300btc loss ;)
[2016-12-23 19:02:14] Hawkeye : or is it 300btc position loss?
[2016-12-23 19:02:22] Hawkeye : then i might be a contender eventually
[2016-12-23 19:02:28] elmorte : Nope, not position
[2016-12-23 19:02:40] elmorte : Actual wallet money
[2016-12-23 19:02:43] Hawkeye : oh then i wont show up anywhere near that record ;)
[2016-12-23 19:03:05] m3s : that must have hurt
[2016-12-23 19:03:09] Hawkeye : max i had (and that was on ATH and before i got goxed) was 100btc
[2016-12-23 19:03:15] rapidtrades : guys i step out for 1 sec and u already surrendered 900
[2016-12-23 19:04:01] Hawkeye : rapidtrades: and then some more
[2016-12-23 19:04:48] Hawkeye : dont think we'll stay below 900 for very long though
[2016-12-23 19:04:53] elmorte : Hawkeye: if you're new, it's probably not advise to poke rapid
[2016-12-23 19:05:02] elmorte : advised even
[2016-12-23 19:05:08] Hawkeye : he bites? :)
[2016-12-23 19:05:14] elmorte : oh boy
[2016-12-23 19:05:34] elmorte : especially when he shorts a bull run
[2016-12-23 19:05:59] Hawkeye : oh then he'll be my bestest friend ;) i dont short in a bull trend
[2016-12-23 19:06:21] Hawkeye : and if i want a dip i'll just distract him

[2016-12-23 19:10:36] anonymous789 : this selling off just for funding rate?
[2016-12-23 19:10:42] REKT : Liquidated long on `XBTUSD`: sell 78147 @ 890.99 **MEGA-REKT** :boom:
[2016-12-23 19:11:00] Hawkeye : anonymous789: china is dropping
[2016-12-23 19:11:01] elmorte : anonymous789: too early
[2016-12-23 19:11:14] Hawkeye : looks like a bear trap so far
[2016-12-23 19:11:23] anonymous789 : Hawkeye: going back up in cny
[2016-12-23 19:12:27] Hawkeye : i am still playing on the site to get a feel of it so i am not very deep in margin so should be safe (i know famous last words)
[2016-12-23 19:12:46] Hawkeye : started yesterday i think
[2016-12-23 19:13:04] Hawkeye : or day before... it gets blurry without much sleep ;)
[2016-12-23 19:13:30] anonymous789 : looks like a bull flag + falling wedge on cny

[2016-12-23 19:19:36] Hawkeye : i hope i wont get liq any time soon.... but i do plan to take more risks on this exchange and keep the other 2 exchanges as a safer trading setup
[2016-12-23 19:19:38] justinlooking : tb: a multiexchange L2 visualzation tool
[2016-12-23 19:20:09] Hawkeye : seems liquidity is pretty good here , at least for my size :)
[2016-12-23 19:20:15] tb : justinlooking: why is the caption "rapid is so short?"
[2016-12-23 19:20:25] elmorte : Hawkeye: my problem was not enough margin. Flash crashes caused both of my liqds
[2016-12-23 19:20:51] elmorte : Since then, I try to keep ample balance on here
[2016-12-23 19:21:02] Hawkeye : i was 3$ off my liq earlier so i added some funds to make it less risky :)
[2016-12-23 19:21:09] justinlooking : tb: um... because we rallied
[2016-12-23 19:21:23] elmorte : tb: huh?

[2016-12-23 19:34:46] narnarfromnarnia : this is just going to be choppy
[2016-12-23 19:35:19] elmorte : narnarfromnarnia: then open two opposite ones
[2016-12-23 19:35:37] narnarfromnarnia : i just took a .15 loss to be done for the day
[2016-12-23 19:36:00] narnarfromnarnia : probably won't be any major movements
[2016-12-23 19:36:13] elmorte : that's gonna be 10,000 in a few years...

[2016-12-23 19:39:42] elmorte : That would be interesting as f, to compare to your UP&L
[2016-12-23 19:47:14] jesperf : isn't that like asking if anyone actually checks what the price is before paying for something
[2016-12-23 19:48:08] elmorte : It's kinda like quantum physics...by the time you check, the position has changed

[2016-12-23 21:18:48] mjones : xbth17 is $11 from a new high
[2016-12-23 21:18:58] Hawkeye : fakeouts rarely make new heighs though

[2016-12-23 21:19:17] bingbongfly : anonymous789: I managed to buy the dip so pretty safe, I agree it could just be a fakeout
[2016-12-23 21:19:20] Hawkeye : its more the dumps were fakes

[2016-12-23 21:25:03] wurstgelee : *sips tea*
[2016-12-23 21:25:12] Hawkeye : 1000 tonight... keep buying ;)
[2016-12-23 21:25:32] MrRGnome : The fact that the last bear trap was so big means we might test 1000 on those liquidations.
[2016-12-23 21:26:01] anonymous789 : it wasn't really that big of a trap was it?
[2016-12-23 21:26:24] Hawkeye : wasnt deep but there was some volume on it
[2016-12-23 21:26:32] wurstgelee : it was an "ok" trap
[2016-12-23 21:26:37] wurstgelee : not the best but ok
[2016-12-23 21:26:41] wurstgelee : good enough to move on imo
[2016-12-23 21:26:42] anonymous789 : yesterday's was pretty big from 875 to 842
[2016-12-23 21:26:44] Hawkeye : lets see if its enough
[2016-12-23 21:27:00] MrRGnome : It spanned almost 50 dollars and had a volume similar to that same 50 dollar rise, I'd say that buys us an additional bit of liquidation if th eprice pushes up
[2016-12-23 21:27:01] Hawkeye : else rinse and repeat ;)
[2016-12-23 21:27:12] wurstgelee : i bought the trap so....up please

[2016-12-23 21:28:39] anonymous789 : i was actually surprised we fell back below 900 today at all, thought that breaking 900 was psychologically massively bullish
[2016-12-23 21:28:51] mohameda : guys how can i make limit orders for btc etc? i cant figure it out??? it wont show up in my positions tab? is it possible
[2016-12-23 21:28:52] anonymous789 : any buys under 900 in that bear trap should have been bought up
[2016-12-23 21:29:14] anonymous789 : not buys, dips*
[2016-12-23 21:29:15] MrRGnome : just stopping to collect rocket fuel
[2016-12-23 21:29:45] anonymous789 : mohameda: says limit tab next to market tab
[2016-12-23 21:30:43] anonymous789 : anyway this could still be a small fakeout since we're stuck at 6440
[2016-12-23 21:30:55] anonymous789 : or a change of that wedge into more of a channel
[2016-12-23 21:31:46] REKT : Liquidated short on `XBTUSD`: buy 6122 @ 905.27

[2016-12-23 21:38:19] MrRGnome : Anyone lost their ass in this bubble trying to call a top yet?
[2016-12-23 21:38:40] imapotato : Doubled my long. I think that's enough leverage for Christmas.
[2016-12-23 21:38:41] l3f : MrRGnome: nah but half of the popular of china got stop lossed out
[2016-12-23 21:38:51] l3f : then they got liquiated
[2016-12-23 21:38:56] l3f : and then started shorting
[2016-12-23 21:38:59] l3f : on a fake out
[2016-12-23 21:39:04] l3f : because a -2% move
[2016-12-23 21:39:07] l3f : invalidates the bulltrend
[2016-12-23 21:39:09] l3f : obviously
[2016-12-23 21:39:21] l3f : about 5 hours ago
[2016-12-23 21:39:26] MrRGnome : It was actually really nice how that dip just touched the trend line on my chart
[2016-12-23 21:40:39] MrRGnome : wish I had the balls to gamble in this. I want your balls.
[2016-12-23 21:40:51] anonymous789 : easy, pro trader strategy
[2016-12-23 21:40:53] l3f : If you want a good laugh

[2016-12-23 21:41:39] MrRGnome : The BTFD strategy works great until it doesn't
[2016-12-23 21:42:13] l3f : shit was craycray
[2016-12-23 21:42:19] MrRGnome : I made 10 btc in the rall from 300-500 hundred. Lost 15 BTC in the drop back to 300. No more dip buying for me.
[2016-12-23 21:42:26] l3f : longs were #rekt left and right
[2016-12-23 21:42:52] MrRGnome : gotta get that rocket fuel
[2016-12-23 21:43:05] anonymous789 : :D
[2016-12-23 21:43:07] l3f : MrRGnome: haha yeah I'm going get fucked hard

[2016-12-23 21:43:10] mjones : MrRGnome: i got 2 hairy black balls for ya
[2016-12-23 21:43:16] mjones : chocolate balls
[2016-12-23 21:43:19] l3f : buying that dip
[2016-12-23 21:43:34] mjones : price goes up 16% and down 2% and people think it's all over.
[2016-12-23 21:44:00] l3f : but really I bought too much on that dip
[2016-12-23 21:44:04] l3f : 150k of futures
[2016-12-23 21:44:06] anonymous789 : mjones: well, it makes sense, because when it will dump, people want to be ahead of the game, it will dump HARD
[2016-12-23 21:44:10] l3f : 85k of swap
[2016-12-23 21:44:15] l3f : that's not good
[2016-12-23 21:44:15] MrRGnome : you'll know it's over when USD and CNY markets converge and we sit less ~30% of the rally's gains
[2016-12-23 21:44:39] mjones : when it dumps hard bitmex will lag so bad that everyone in a high long will get rekt
[2016-12-23 21:44:54] l3f : mjones: stop losses m80
[2016-12-23 21:44:57] mjones : i had lag trying to long that dip not that long ago
[2016-12-23 21:45:00] MrRGnome : That's what happens every bubble. Exchange lag amplifies the market movements and wreckage
[2016-12-23 21:45:08] mjones : good luck using stoploss during a dump where the market maker takes down their walls
[2016-12-23 21:45:18] mjones : i'll buy your order at $750
[2016-12-23 21:45:35] imapotato : Does Bitmex lag? I know the team is solid, but rarely use the exchange.
[2016-12-23 21:45:56] anonymous789 : 1000 will be interesting, i wonder if we make a new top or we shoot for that previous high of like 1200
[2016-12-23 21:46:35] MrRGnome : Bitmex is having more a JS performance issues on my machine.
[2016-12-23 21:46:43] l3f : mjones: haha yeah
[2016-12-23 21:46:47] MrRGnome : Not lag. But the JS profiler is scre
[2016-12-23 21:46:57] MrRGnome : screaming.
[2016-12-23 21:47:16] imapotato : It is a heavy client.
[2016-12-23 21:47:27] aaaaa : double top?
[2016-12-23 21:47:32] tommygunn : sorry 750 is history
[2016-12-23 21:47:32] MrRGnome : I've audited it before, it didn't use to behave this way
[2016-12-23 21:47:53] MrRGnome : I thin they may have introduced some issues in the last fe
[2016-12-23 21:47:59] MrRGnome : few months.
[2016-12-23 21:48:09] imapotato : It's react + Flux, right?
[2016-12-23 21:49:05] l3f : I just want to make it onto the leaderboard
[2016-12-23 21:49:06] l3f : https://www.bitmex.com/app/leaderboard
[2016-12-23 21:49:09] l3f : then I know I've made it
[2016-12-23 21:50:00] rms : ...i caught myself wanting to realize my profit just to make it on there
[2016-12-23 21:50:02] mjones : because the MM removes their orders because they'll just close during ADL to get best possible price
[2016-12-23 21:50:29] mjones : and with the addition of more markets means more margin calls. add in everyone trying to market dump it will be crazy and i'm guessing laggy
[2016-12-23 21:51:07] l3f : mjones: we need those dip buyers
[2016-12-23 21:51:09] l3f : start the education early
[2016-12-23 21:51:14] l3f : exit silently
[2016-12-23 21:51:29] l3f : train the new hords of traders how to buy dips
[2016-12-23 21:51:31] l3f : how to hold
[2016-12-23 21:51:47] l3f : then when the real thing comes, they are the support
[2016-12-23 21:52:09] l3f : was it shakeout? no just me exiting
[2016-12-23 21:52:16] mjones : the dip will be so massive that anyone entering recently on 10x or higher will get called. it's gonna be a shitshow so i just hope i close my long and short it before it happens
[2016-12-23 21:52:22] mjones : dip / dump
[2016-12-23 21:53:35] MrRGnome : has bitmex started publishing their insurance fund numbers for every instrument?
[2016-12-23 21:53:59] MrRGnome : I know they have repeatedly promised it's a priority.
[2016-12-23 21:54:13] l3f : I thought all instruments share a single pool'd insurance
[2016-12-23 21:54:23] MrRGnome : They don't
[2016-12-23 21:54:28] mjones : i dont even think the insurance fund is used
[2016-12-23 21:54:42] l3f : woah no way
[2016-12-23 21:54:45] MrRGnome : It is, it's consumed before ADL occurs
[2016-12-23 21:54:54] mjones : but if it's used on the mega dump it'll be cleared out quickly
[2016-12-23 21:55:07] MrRGnome : Right, so know would be a good time to know how much is in it.
[2016-12-23 21:55:12] MrRGnome : *now
[2016-12-23 21:55:17] mjones : https://www.bitmex.com/app/insuranceFund
[2016-12-23 21:55:22] l3f : did ya'll shorters close out yet?
[2016-12-23 21:55:34] MrRGnome : That just gives you an aggregate, not the actual insurance fund for an instrument
[2016-12-23 21:55:45] mjones : okcoin has 742 btc in theirs
[2016-12-23 22:00:36] l3f : lol futures price rising
