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.

<< >> English 中文 Русский 한국어 日本語 Español Français [2017-01-05 07:01:01] MikeHunt : QuantFocus: oh right [2017-01-05 07:01:18] MikeHunt : where do you get 562.5 from? [2017-01-05 07:01:27] QuantFocus : dharmabum: alternatively, right now i'd suggest shorting the xbth17 [2017-01-05 07:01:35] dharmabum : elmorte: so if I have 1.5BTC, sell 1.5BTC (worth of USD) at spot? [2017-01-05 07:01:39] QuantFocus : MikeHunt: 50k x 1.125% [2017-01-05 07:01:43] QuantFocus : to arrive at a daily cost [2017-01-05 07:01:48] QuantFocus : during max funding [2017-01-05 07:01:51] dharmabum : elmorte: spot=cross? [2017-01-05 07:02:06] MikeHunt : QuantFocus: ahh yeh ty, my maths :/ [2017-01-05 07:02:13] dharmabum : QuantFocus: thx for the suggestion. Logic? :) [2017-01-05 07:02:13] imapotato : spot is not cross [2017-01-05 07:02:14] QuantFocus : no worries [2017-01-05 07:02:18] KingTuna : $1600 WOW! [2017-01-05 07:02:22] imapotato : completely different ideas [2017-01-05 07:02:24] elmorte : dharmabum: no I meant like at spot exchange like finex [2017-01-05 07:02:31] imapotato : 1600? [2017-01-05 07:02:50] QuantFocus : dharmabum: the logic is that there is currently a $170 premium over spot. so shorting the future means you sell it for more than you would sell the spot for right now [2017-01-05 07:02:51] dharmabum : elmorte: ah, ok! [2017-01-05 07:03:02] elmorte : But here, you would just short 1.5 worth of XBT on swap [2017-01-05 07:03:12] elmorte : and earn those sweet fees [2017-01-05 07:03:16] QuantFocus : and since you just want to hedge, might as well sell it for more than you would sell it at spot, right? [2017-01-05 07:03:18] elmorte : sorry, not fees, funding [2017-01-05 07:03:41] elmorte : but yeah, sell at Mar 31 future is a better option and don't have to worry about funding [2017-01-05 07:04:07] elmorte : depends on why you are hedging [2017-01-05 07:04:54] dharmabum : XBTH? April 01? [2017-01-05 07:05:06] QuantFocus : dharmabum: since this exchange offers leverage, you can also use less than the 1.5btc as collateral, and just trade like 5-10x leverage [2017-01-05 07:05:07] brouk : 9000 CNY here we go [2017-01-05 07:05:10] elmorte : HBTH17, 31 Mr [2017-01-05 07:05:15] elmorte : 31. Mar [2017-01-05 07:05:21] QuantFocus : deposit .15btc to short at 10x [2017-01-05 07:05:26] elmorte : XBTH17...jesus [2017-01-05 07:05:33] dharmabum : QuantFocus: roger that! [2017-01-05 07:05:40] dharmabum : elmorte: lol [2017-01-05 07:06:10] dodic : So if you are short the swap funding rate is supposed to emulate the premium decay on a future right? [2017-01-05 07:06:10] elmorte : dharmabum: when do you want to withdraw it, that's the main question [2017-01-05 07:06:36] dharmabum : elmorte: thx for thoughts. when? no time requirements on this BTC for me. [2017-01-05 07:07:08] QuantFocus : dodic: it's really intended to keep the premium discount in check with spot [2017-01-05 07:07:09] dharmabum : what is everybody thinking about BTC currently? [2017-01-05 07:07:18] brouk : moon [2017-01-05 07:07:19] QuantFocus : but as we can see here it's not currently working [2017-01-05 07:07:32] QuantFocus : prem and or discount* [2017-01-05 07:08:00] dharmabum : Seems like the Chinese pressure on exchange is pushing BTC as main factor right now. [2017-01-05 07:08:05] QuantFocus : people essentially borrow for free here unless there is a funding premium [2017-01-05 07:08:06] dharmabum : Happy to be wrong ! [2017-01-05 07:08:43] QuantFocus : and low / zero interest with 100x leverage means we disconnect with spot [2017-01-05 07:09:01] dodic : QuantFocus: I see, and the current funding is too low to keep the price in check given the volatility? [2017-01-05 07:09:10] QuantFocus : correct [2017-01-05 07:09:33] dodic : QuantFocus: thanks :) [2017-01-05 07:09:46] QuantFocus : :+1: [2017-01-05 07:10:22] QuantFocus : you never really see that, but we're in unusual times [2017-01-05 07:11:50] dharmabum : QuantFocus: If I went short XBTH17 instead of shorting at current price, what would be the benefit there? (apologies for the basic Qs) [2017-01-05 07:12:23] QuantFocus : you get to sell it at 1310 instead of 1170 [2017-01-05 07:12:56] QuantFocus : it's 12% higher [2017-01-05 07:13:31] dharmabum : QuantFocus: Right. And in either case, if BTC appreciates beyond that point (current price, or $1310) the position loses $. [2017-01-05 07:13:43] QuantFocus : exactly [2017-01-05 07:14:04] elmorte : Same will happen with SWAP, but you don't have to worry about funding fees with futures. [2017-01-05 07:14:08] QuantFocus : but if you just want to hedge your 1.5btc, you're just trying to lock in the USD value as of today [2017-01-05 07:14:36] QuantFocus : so while the position loses btc, the USD/Local Currency amount stays the same [2017-01-05 07:15:40] dharmabum : QuantFocus: Roger that. And if the short is at 1x, then how does that impact? [2017-01-05 07:16:01] QuantFocus : it just means you deposit the full value of the position you want to short as collateral [2017-01-05 07:16:12] dodic : wow usd lending rate on bitfinex is 0.25% [2017-01-05 07:16:27] dodic : daily [2017-01-05 07:17:38] dharmabum : QuantFocus: yup OK. but if I consider BTC is likely to run into headwinds by April1 2017 I'm better off shorting XBTH17 [2017-01-05 07:17:54] dharmabum : QuantFocus: for reasons you outlined [2017-01-05 07:18:14] QuantFocus : that's one way to look at it [2017-01-05 07:18:34] dharmabum : QuantFocus: great answer! [2017-01-05 07:18:41] QuantFocus : haha [2017-01-05 07:18:59] imapotato : 8888 incoming again [2017-01-05 07:19:13] dharmabum : imapotato: ? [2017-01-05 07:19:35] imapotato : dharmabum: ?

[2017-01-05 07:22:11] narnarfromnarnia : or was that whale wars [2017-01-05 07:22:27] narnarfromnarnia : imapotato: yeah that's a great one [2017-01-05 07:22:41] narnarfromnarnia : this could totally go to 4k [2017-01-05 07:23:15] imapotato : Yeah, I was being too greedy. Trying to double my money on small $20 rises. [2017-01-05 07:23:25] imapotato : Best plan is to leverage conservatively and make returns on the entire rally. [2017-01-05 07:25:09] narnarfromnarnia : pigs get slaughtered [2017-01-05 07:25:17] narnarfromnarnia : im officially a pig [2017-01-05 07:25:22] narnarfromnarnia : actually bacon bits [2017-01-05 07:25:30] elmorte : crispy?

[2017-01-05 07:33:16] odieoh : @quantfocus right, but trying that is the only thing that screwed me; I dropped it too soon and then got nervous as it rose; bought back into it (and a good thing too) [2017-01-05 07:33:25] dharmabum : BitMEX_Arthur: XTRUMP [2017-01-05 07:33:34] QuantFocus : odieoh: :+1: [2017-01-05 07:33:43] QuantFocus : BitMEX_Arthur: payout is binary?

Please do it. [2017-01-05 07:35:00] BitMEX_Arthur : the contract notional will be 0.01 XBT [2017-01-05 07:35:18] imapotato : +1 to prediction markets, but they suck if you don't have liquidity [2017-01-05 07:35:36] BitMEX_Arthur : No matter the market, lack of liquidity sucks [2017-01-05 07:35:46] dharmabum : BitMEX_Arthur: Would that run alongside the other contracts or on a separate screen? [2017-01-05 07:36:11] QuantFocus : i could see the liquidity being an issue, but i like the idea [2017-01-05 07:36:39] imapotato : It seems like a hard one to estimate, too.
