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.

[2017-01-01 22:17:18] alejandromasari : @MikeHunt dont put a stop loss at '05's and round numbers [2017-01-01 22:17:39] BTCDJS : why? [2017-01-01 22:18:07] alejandromasari : bots are programed to seek obvious places where people put stop losses [2017-01-01 22:19:27] MikeHunt : alejandromasari: ok, but how much of a gap between starting a trade and potential loss? [2017-01-01 22:19:40] BTCDJS : oh you said dont [2017-01-01 22:19:52] BTCDJS : i thought you said opposite [2017-01-01 22:20:34] BTCDJS : MikeHunt: where you long from? [2017-01-01 22:20:59] alejandromasari : MikeHunt: I like to be up immediately after I buy, I plan my limit buy orders for hours. if it goes against me by 10 dollars I will exit and re-evaluate. Im long on bitmex at 965 [2017-01-01 22:21:13] alejandromasari : I joined yesterday [2017-01-01 22:21:18] alejandromasari : I added some on the way up [2017-01-01 22:21:57] MikeHunt : im at 1050 (where i ejected earlier) [2017-01-01 22:22:01] MikeHunt : 1005* [2017-01-01 22:22:29] BTCDJS : MikeHunt: where is your LIQ? [2017-01-01 22:22:38] MikeHunt : BTCDJS: im just holding btc, no liq [2017-01-01 22:22:58] BTCDJS : MikeHunt: then you are not playing [2017-01-01 22:23:06] BTCDJS : so no stop loss required [2017-01-01 22:23:55] alejandromasari : MikeHunt: i dont think you need a stop loss you have 1x [2017-01-01 22:23:58] alejandromasari : just hold long [2017-01-01 22:24:11] MikeHunt : BTCDJS: i was just curious incase i did enter, what sort of loss you would allow hence i asked [2017-01-01 22:24:39] alejandromasari : I held my bitcoin from 400 never had a stop loss in. It was in my ledger wallet. [2017-01-01 22:25:26] j8 : you can use a stop to open a short position to hedge also. [2017-01-01 22:25:37] MikeHunt : alejandromasari: do you have the phone that displays how much btc you have or just the basic nano one enough? [2017-01-01 22:26:02] MikeHunt : ledger* [2017-01-01 22:26:06] MikeHunt : (not phone) [2017-01-01 22:27:10] alejandromasari : MikeHunt: I got the nano S with screen [2017-01-01 22:27:11] BTCDJS : I only enter if I'm positive the price will move up. When it does I put a stop loss slightly above my entry. I use STOP MARKET. As price moves up I will raise my stop loss allowing for 50-60% retrace on each leg so I will place a stop slightly bellow so I don't get stopped out too early. [2017-01-01 22:27:46] alejandromasari : BTCDJS: good strategy [2017-01-01 22:28:14] alejandromasari : MikeHunt: https://www.ledgerwallet.com/products/12-ledger-nano-s [2017-01-01 22:28:27] alejandromasari : BTCDJS: how long have you been trading ? [2017-01-01 22:28:56] BTCDJS : 1,5 years [2017-01-01 22:29:16] alejandromasari : BTCDJS: you have a good strategy. very nice [2017-01-01 22:29:36] BTCDJS : thanks. Trial and error [2017-01-01 22:30:04] alejandromasari : BTCDJS: been at this for 8 years, mostly in stocks, options and FOREX. Bitmex trading was immediately familiar to me. [2017-01-01 22:30:45] alejandromasari : BTCDJS: I dont use a lot of leverage because I realize leverage kills accounts I dont go over 10 x ever. Currently im 7x [2017-01-01 22:31:00] alejandromasari : I will deleverage tomorrow morning, when my clients send me more bitcoin. [2017-01-01 22:31:29] BTCDJS : I started trading here. This is where I learned. Failed a lot lost a lot. But I got it all back. Now Im being very careful [2017-01-01 22:32:05] alejandromasari : BTCDJS: did you use 100x when you first started? [2017-01-01 22:32:22] alejandromasari : BTCDJS: congrats on getting it all back. [2017-01-01 22:32:31] BTCDJS : yup like an idiot. Plus I didn't know anything [2017-01-01 22:32:35] BTCDJS : I just guessed [2017-01-01 22:32:53] BTCDJS : now Im armed with some knowledge [2017-01-01 22:33:24] alejandromasari : BTCDJS: easy to blow account with 100x. Rarely people can use 100x successfully [2017-01-01 22:33:38] alejandromasari : BTCDJS: what leverage are you using now? [2017-01-01 22:34:33] BTCDJS : I use 50X and rely on my TA skills to catch a breakout. But I only trade small amounts 0.2btc at a time [2017-01-01 22:35:13] BTCDJS : I wait for these rallies. When there is no big rallies I don't trade here [2017-01-01 22:35:19] alejandromasari : BTCDJS: so .02 x 50 you mean you trade 1 btc [2017-01-01 22:35:38] gusi : 10 btc i think [2017-01-01 22:35:48] BTCDJS : yeah but if I lose I only lose small [2017-01-01 22:36:25] BTCDJS : Noobs come on here and trade 2Btc at 100X [2017-01-01 22:36:31] sleger : gusi: thanks for correcting him, dont mind him, he is a twitter guy not a trader [2017-01-01 22:36:32] BTCDJS : I used to do that [2017-01-01 22:41:23] Trader3000 : Hi, do you have a link of the chart of the Mark Price of XMR7D?? [2017-01-01 22:41:42] l3f : sleger: what's your outlook? [2017-01-01 22:41:46] l3f : think we'll visit ATH? [2017-01-01 22:43:30] sleger : I'm still long, but a bit less [2017-01-01 22:43:40] sleger : will buy if correction [2017-01-01 22:44:06] Trader3000 : Anybody from Bitmex here? [2017-01-01 22:45:09] j8 : say "admin" three times, in caps [2017-01-01 22:45:09] Angelika : Trader3000: you can email them at support@bitmex.com [2017-01-01 22:45:17] Trader3000 : ok, thx [2017-01-01 22:45:25] Angelika : sometimes when you call them they show up [2017-01-01 22:45:49] Naloxone : Trader3000: everyone is [2017-01-01 22:46:01] BTCDJS : and sometimes they show up when you don't call them [2017-01-01 22:46:15] Headroom : admins are a myth [2017-01-01 22:47:29] CaptainDean : just send an email [2017-01-01 22:47:56] MikeHunt : if you say admin 3 times in the mirror at midnight Sam will appear with a chainsaw behind you [2017-01-01 22:48:11] Headroom : already tested, it works [2017-01-01 22:48:42] BitMEX_Sam : :scissors: [2017-01-01 22:48:50] Headroom : omg omg *running* [2017-01-01 22:49:45] BitMEX_Sam : ?????? [2017-01-01 22:50:40] BTCDJS : BitMEX_Sam: I started out with 8600 contracts but now I have 8200. I did not sell any. Trade history doesn't show 8600 at all. Why would that happen? [2017-01-01 22:52:09] justinlooking : BTCDJS: srry dude sounds like pebcak [2017-01-01 22:52:25] BTCDJS : justinlooking: wat? [2017-01-01 22:53:24] justinlooking : lmgtfy :P [2017-01-01 22:53:29] CaptainDean : BTCDJS: you only bought 8200 of the 8600 ? [2017-01-01 22:53:39] BTCDJS : nope [2017-01-01 22:53:52] BTCDJS : there is a bug [2017-01-01 22:54:35] justinlooking : 10000000000000000/1 is a bug [2017-01-01 22:57:42] BTCDJS : wait a minute [2017-01-01 22:57:51] BitMEX_Wally : BTCDJS: You bought 8200 [2017-01-01 22:57:56] BTCDJS : My bad.

[2017-01-01 22:59:08] Sheriff : Quick question. Is there a fee associated with holding a position on the perpetual swaps? [2017-01-01 22:59:26] BitMEX_Sam : Sheriff: There can be, see https://www.bitmex.com/app/swapsGuide#Funding [2017-01-01 22:59:39] BitMEX_Sam : XBTUSD is the only contract with this property. [2017-01-01 23:00:20] Sheriff : Got it, thanks. Any easier way to calculate the rate than the equations they give? [2017-01-01 23:00:28] Sheriff : *You give? haha [2017-01-01 23:01:28] BitMEX_Sam : It's just `position value * rate`. [2017-01-01 23:01:51] BitMEX_Sam : The calculations just show how we arrive at the rate. [2017-01-01 23:02:17] Sheriff : Ahh ok gotcha, I see the funding rate on the left. Thank you! [2017-01-01 23:04:42] alejandromasari : BitMEX_Sam: who are we finding with that .27% every 8 hours? [2017-01-01 23:04:54] alejandromasari : Funding [2017-01-01 23:05:05] BitMEX_Sam : Someone on the other side. [2017-01-01 23:05:17] BTCDJS : sleger [2017-01-01 23:05:23] justinlooking : ha [2017-01-01 23:05:26] BitMEX_Sam : The rate depends on what side you are on. For example, if you are short XBTUSD right now, you will receive 0.2787% in 4 hours. [2017-01-01 23:06:26] alejandromasari : BitMEX_Sam: why do we need to fund the shorts? This a new concept to me. I come from wall st. Shorts don't get funding. [2017-01-01 23:06:58] BitMEX_Sam : alejandromasari: Because XBTUSD is a perpetual contract with no expiry. Without any tethering mechanism there is no reason why it should follow spot [2017-01-01 23:07:19] BitMEX_Sam : 8hr funding rates are built to emulate futures basis but paid only during the duration you hold the contract. [2017-01-01 23:07:21] sleger : "alejandromasari: BitMEX_Sam: why do we need to fund the shorts? This a new concept to me. I come from wall st. Shorts don't get funding." [2017-01-01 23:07:24] sleger : lol what an idiot [2017-01-01 23:07:30] BitMEX_Sam : Be nice sleger [2017-01-01 23:07:38] sleger : he doesnt come from wall st [2017-01-01 23:07:47] BitMEX_Sam : I understand the confusion regardless, it's a novel contract type [2017-01-01 23:07:49] Headroom : Sam has a knife [2017-01-01 23:07:59] BitMEX_Wally : alejandromasari: On Wall Street you pay to borrow USD and you pay to borrow stock. The net payments would be considered funding in total return swap [2017-01-01 23:08:20] sleger : when you're on margin, wether long or short you DO pay funding [2017-01-01 23:08:29] sleger : true on any street, wall or not [2017-01-01 23:08:32] BitMEX_Wally : The borrow rate for USD is higher than the borrow rate for Bitcoin, hence why shorts get paid [2017-01-01 23:08:42] REKT : Liquidated long on `XBTUSD`: sell 1113 @ 1004.75 [2017-01-01 23:08:42] REKT : Liquidated long on `XBTH17`: sell 1500 @ 1066.85 [2017-01-01 23:08:43] alejandromasari : BitMEX_Wally: yeah you have to pay to borrow a stock [2017-01-01 23:09:38] alejandromasari : BitMEX_Wally: so if I use xbth17 I can avoid paying funding? [2017-01-01 23:09:51] MikeHunt : looksing like sell time [2017-01-01 23:10:04] BitMEX_Wally : alejandromasari: Yes, and by shorting XBTUSD you are paying the Bitcoin borrow rate and earning the USD rate. You can buy XBTH17 instead but of course it trades at a premium [2017-01-01 23:11:03] alejandromasari : BitMEX_Wally: thanks I'll move to xbth17 [2017-01-01 23:11:53] Sheriff : The premium shouldn't matter too much though considering XBTH17 price is separate from the XBTUSD price though, correct? You're not paying for the same thing [2017-01-01 23:13:01] REKT : Liquidated long on `XBTUSD`: sell 3500 @ 1001.69 [2017-01-01 23:13:57] aethlios : get ready to get REKTed [2017-01-01 23:14:11] BTCDJS : aethlios: longs? [2017-01-01 23:14:18] aethlios : BTCDJS: yes [2017-01-01 23:14:25] MikeHunt : sell time? [2017-01-01 23:14:27] BTCDJS : not yet [2017-01-01 23:15:17] REKT : Liquidated long on `XBTUSD`: sell 5 @ 1000.49 [2017-01-01 23:15:26] aethlios : This time is different.... [2017-01-01 23:15:26] REKT : Liquidated long on `XBTUSD`: sell 700 @ 1000.20 [2017-01-01 23:15:26] REKT : HODL HODL HODL! [2017-01-01 23:15:46] REKT : Liquidated long on `XBTUSD`: sell 18000 @ 999.50 [2017-01-01 23:15:50] Naloxone : Death to longs! [2017-01-01 23:16:02] sleger : come to mummy discount [2017-01-01 23:16:07] aethlios : long live the short, btc dead. [2017-01-01 23:16:26] BTCDJS : ok now [2017-01-01 23:16:28] alejandromasari : Chinese taking profits [2017-01-01 23:16:28] BTCDJS : lol [2017-01-01 23:16:37] MikeHunt : 970 ? [2017-01-01 23:16:40] alejandromasari : they just woke up [2017-01-01 23:16:44] aethlios : 720-740 [2017-01-01 23:17:40] aethlios : hope for that price. [2017-01-01 23:18:02] alejandromasari : BitMEX_Wally: how do you block ignorant people on this chat?
