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.

[2017-01-12 01:55:45] Rado : Yeah maybe
[2017-01-12 01:55:58] Rado : people are still very scared to buy
[2017-01-12 01:56:03] thedoc : or another tens of thousands of BTC ready to be dumped
[2017-01-12 01:56:42] thedoc : 0kcoin walling it up both sides
[2017-01-12 01:57:13] MikeHunt : looks like its being sold into
[2017-01-12 01:58:52] Rado : MikeHunt: you always see what you want to
[2017-01-12 02:01:10] brojo : Rado: where do u see this at?
[2017-01-12 02:02:01] premium_freak : how much $ do you reckon is needed to move the market up 2%?
[2017-01-12 02:03:16] MikeHunt : premium_freak: quite a lot
[2017-01-12 02:03:29] premium_freak : a million?
[2017-01-12 02:03:47] XBT_IHCT : premium_freak: why are you planning something?
[2017-01-12 02:04:06] premium_freak : I might shift the needle a bit.. but I'm not confident enough :p
[2017-01-12 02:04:11] sleger : premium_freak: move or move and maintain ?
[2017-01-12 02:04:26] premium_freak : just move it
[2017-01-12 02:04:36] sleger : as in print a trade on finex ?
[2017-01-12 02:04:42] sleger : then just look at the orderbook
[2017-01-12 02:05:02] premium_freak : if I wanted to make a 2% impact on say okcoin's index price
[2017-01-12 02:05:08] sleger : for how long ?
[2017-01-12 02:05:15] premium_freak : 15 minutes
[2017-01-12 02:05:31] sleger : then much more
[2017-01-12 02:05:36] premium_freak : really?
[2017-01-12 02:05:42] sleger : 5+
[2017-01-12 02:05:50] premium_freak : wow.
[2017-01-12 02:06:18] sleger : 500k you can move finex 2% but it will come back very fast
[2017-01-12 02:06:20] premium_freak : I mean this could be a tipping point where just a buy of a few hundred btc is enough to get it moving
[2017-01-12 02:06:46] sleger : 440btc on finex to 785 (2% above)
[2017-01-12 02:07:11] sleger : if you buy those there will be a huge gap on the bid then and other exchanges havent moved it will correct super fast
[2017-01-12 02:07:14] thedoc : looks easy to go up
[2017-01-12 02:07:16] thedoc : but will it
[2017-01-12 02:07:29] premium_freak : only when the sellers have dried up
[2017-01-12 02:07:36] brojo : there is no bid size here
[2017-01-12 02:07:41] thedoc : no premium on h17. at least it isnt negative. bullish sentiment coming back
[2017-01-12 02:08:31] XBT_IHCT : sleger: why are you talking about buttfinex man?
[2017-01-12 02:08:52] sleger : cause its the biggest usd exchange ?

[2017-01-12 02:10:10] thedoc : i literally shorted xbth17 at 710. i was the bottom
[2017-01-12 02:10:29] thedoc : i closed part of my short and reshorted the bottom lol
[2017-01-12 02:10:29] MikeHunt : thedoc: short bottom or long top = bad
[2017-01-12 02:10:35] arbitrage101 : j8: is he short or long?

[2017-01-12 02:10:50] sleger : arbitrage101: lol
[2017-01-12 02:10:50] j8 : it's sum over the three contracts, could be hedged
[2017-01-12 02:10:51] premium_freak : thedoc: why would you short futures when they are under the index price?
[2017-01-12 02:10:56] thedoc : but probably longed the top
[2017-01-12 02:11:12] thedoc : premium_freak: thought there was a big ass long whale about to be closed
[2017-01-12 02:11:16] brojo : what is mix of the index on the xbc

[2017-01-12 02:16:24] sleger : brojo: you own more than 10,000 bitcoins ?
[2017-01-12 02:16:30] XBT_IHCT : I'm losing my sanity, this is just killing me
[2017-01-12 02:16:38] brojo : no but if i leverage the way up and dont get rekt ill have that many soon
[2017-01-12 02:16:41] sleger : or you just suck at math like all stock brokers ?
[2017-01-12 02:16:42] MikeHunt : 5k really is the last one, switch to 3d chart and run a line under the 3 major pumps
[2017-01-12 02:17:02] brojo : i went like 2 weeks of no sleep just trading
[2017-01-12 02:17:05] brojo : finally slept the past few days
[2017-01-12 02:17:11] brojo : and have clear head trading is alot easier
[2017-01-12 02:17:20] brojo : on 1 hour chart instead of 15 mins
[2017-01-12 02:18:36] arbitrage101 : price index is becoming irrelevant
[2017-01-12 02:18:48] brojo : yes how often do they change the index
[2017-01-12 02:19:07] arbitrage101 : not sure,
[2017-01-12 02:19:08] brojo : with okcoin holding it down on the USD
[2017-01-12 02:19:17] thedoc : hoping for a pump. been hoping for one for a while now though. maybe this pump i make it all back
[2017-01-12 02:19:19] brojo : it seems like a nice long term
[2017-01-12 02:19:29] Rado : MikeHunt: BTC doesn't care about your lines
[2017-01-12 02:19:37] MikeHunt : Rado: we'll see
[2017-01-12 02:19:44] MikeHunt : miners will suffer if it drops

[2017-01-12 02:21:24] Rado : 100s of applications are build every day in top of the network
[2017-01-12 02:22:05] premium_freak : this is a staring contest... come on, rip up already
[2017-01-12 02:23:16] Rado : *on
[2017-01-12 02:23:21] XBT_IHCT : premium_freak: you really in a position to push the market around man?
[2017-01-12 02:23:39] premium_freak : XBT_IHCT: not really, I only have a few hundred K left :(
[2017-01-12 02:23:52] premium_freak : I'm almost all in now
[2017-01-12 02:23:58] Rado : j8: how is it going for you?
[2017-01-12 02:24:33] j8 : could be worse
[2017-01-12 02:24:49] sleger : j8: waiting for things to come back to normal :p ?
[2017-01-12 02:25:02] j8 : trying to figure out what normal is
[2017-01-12 02:25:02] sleger : the wings need to spread
[2017-01-12 02:25:18] sleger : the chinese need to go ahead
[2017-01-12 02:25:25] Rado : I was thinking of you when the premium was 159 on H17
[2017-01-12 02:25:27] Rado : 150
[2017-01-12 02:25:34] XBT_IHCT : premium_freak: I've been all in since the bloody top!
[2017-01-12 02:25:40] Rado : I contract led swear you are short the premium
[2017-01-12 02:25:55] MikeHunt : XBT_IHCT: how are you still alive?
[2017-01-12 02:25:56] Rado : damn phones
[2017-01-12 02:26:14] Rado : *I could swear
[2017-01-12 02:26:18] premium_freak : XBT_IHCT: I have a very strict regime for myself - I force myself to never buy on the way up, only sell
[2017-01-12 02:26:27] j8 : yeah i closed long on quarterlies / china at a good time
[2017-01-12 02:26:43] brojo : where do you guys watch the order books and see the depth --- bitcoinwisdom?
[2017-01-12 02:26:58] MikeHunt : brojo: and bitcoinity
[2017-01-12 02:26:58] premium_freak : brojo tradeblock has a decent order book viewer with grouping support
[2017-01-12 02:27:11] j8 : bought the dip a bit early, could have gone a lot better but whatever
[2017-01-12 02:27:20] MikeHunt : bitcoinwisdom/here for TA and bitcoinity as like a sell/buy wall radar and bfxdata for sentiment as well
[2017-01-12 02:27:27] Rado : j8: it's never perfect
[2017-01-12 02:27:31] MikeHunt : j8: dont worry, if this fails, to the floor we go
[2017-01-12 02:27:38] sleger : those ADL also cost a lot
[2017-01-12 02:27:46] premium_freak : it won't fall, anyone who's too scared to hold has already sold
[2017-01-12 02:28:37] Rado : MikeHunt: let me guess your age
[2017-01-12 02:28:43] Rado : 16
[2017-01-12 02:28:50] MikeHunt : Rado: bzzzt wrong
[2017-01-12 02:28:57] sleger : 19
[2017-01-12 02:29:00] Rado : did you steal 1 BTC from your mom?

[2017-01-12 02:30:16] Rado : nor only yang, but stupid too
[2017-01-12 02:31:02] MikeHunt : Rado: i dont mind crusty
[2017-01-12 02:33:46] brojo : i want to see how much commision ive paid since i ve been trading here ive had ALOT of large orders
[2017-01-12 02:33:58] brojo : when i export csv just showing on page at time i have 8 pages in last week
[2017-01-12 02:34:42] brojo : how do i export them all
[2017-01-12 02:35:11] XBT_IHCT : MikeHunt: mycunt why do you have to me so crass?
[2017-01-12 02:35:11] brojo : actually i have 13 pages :-|
[2017-01-12 02:35:22] brojo : i bet ive paid over 2btc in fees with the large trades ive entered
[2017-01-12 02:35:31] REKT : Liquidated short on `XBCH17`: buy 3 @ 5275.3 :punch: :whale:
[2017-01-12 02:35:56] XBT_IHCT : lol is that a new one? cunt
[2017-01-12 02:38:07] MikeHunt : brojo: doesnt csv give u everything?
[2017-01-12 02:38:10] XBT_IHCT : admittedly, I've never tried to write that in the trollbox before though
[2017-01-12 02:38:23] brojo : no just page 1
[2017-01-12 02:38:25] MikeHunt : XBT_IHCT: he started it ;)
[2017-01-12 02:39:01] MikeHunt : brojo: try select next page then do it
[2017-01-12 02:39:27] MikeHunt : might be worth asking the devs for a save all csv button
[2017-01-12 02:40:22] sleger : I have 100 pages to go to go back only until aug 2016
[2017-01-12 02:41:19] XBT_IHCT : premium_freak: are you usually always correct? and how long have you been trading? I'm just full of fear so your "it won't fall, anyone" could be very reassuring if you were much more experienced than I
[2017-01-12 02:41:47] premium_freak : XBT_IHCT: I've been trading btc for 5 years, but I'm certainly not always right!
[2017-01-12 02:42:02] premium_freak : I've been painfully wrong a number of times
[2017-01-12 02:42:46] XBT_IHCT : well that's 3 more than me... although technically the first year was more gambling rather than trading
[2017-01-12 02:42:54] premium_freak : XBT_IHCT: same here
[2017-01-12 02:43:06] REKT : Liquidated long on `XBTH17`: sell 250 @ 757.75
[2017-01-12 02:43:23] premium_freak : XBT_IHCT: until I realized that I just had to do the opposite - buy when the price goes down, sell when it goes up
[2017-01-12 02:43:55] XBT_IHCT : premium_freak: indeed
[2017-01-12 02:44:07] premium_freak : it just feels a bit odd and uncomfortable at first
[2017-01-12 02:44:24] XBT_IHCT : I could kick myself so hard for not selling the top we had recently!
[2017-01-12 02:44:25] premium_freak : and quite honestly even to this day when I catch knives it feels painful to see my account value drop by the minute :p
[2017-01-12 02:47:35] XBT_IHCT : we hit €1089 on kraken recently and I thought to myself "should I sell here?" and like an idiot pathological bull I thought no it will go higher now we're at this level!!!
[2017-01-12 02:48:05] premium_freak : XBT_IHCT: yeah pretty crazy, it went down faster and more than I thought it would
[2017-01-12 02:48:43] XBT_IHCT : you sold the top though yeah?
[2017-01-12 02:49:28] premium_freak : XBT_IHCT: kind of, I sold as many futures on okc as my account would reasonably allow there
[2017-01-12 02:49:42] premium_freak : but it doesn't cover my cold wallet, so I ended up losing big anyway
[2017-01-12 02:50:04] XBT_IHCT : premium_freak: ooch
[2017-01-12 02:50:32] premium_freak : since then I opened an account here so I have more venues to short futures :p
[2017-01-12 02:51:26] XBT_IHCT : I've lost so much net worth in all these latest drops it's unreal!
[2017-01-12 02:51:40] premium_freak : I try not to think of it
[2017-01-12 02:51:50] XBT_IHCT : Also I failed to even open a good hedge to cover the losses
[2017-01-12 02:51:52] premium_freak : I'm up on my trading accounts, that's what matters
[2017-01-12 02:52:39] XBT_IHCT : good for you man! I'm not at all
[2017-01-12 02:53:07] premium_freak : as a rule of thumb only buy when there's panic.. it really is not that difficult
[2017-01-12 02:53:54] premium_freak : and don't go crazy on the leverage :p
[2017-01-12 02:55:14] XBT_IHCT : my comfort level is below 10
[2017-01-12 02:55:48] XBT_IHCT : but I'm trapped everywhere atm
[2017-01-12 02:56:06] arbitrage101 : premium_freak: is this panic yet?
[2017-01-12 02:56:15] arbitrage101 : or we need to wait below 500?
[2017-01-12 02:56:23] premium_freak : arbitrage101: tbh I don't know... it used to be much easier to tell
[2017-01-12 02:56:33] arbitrage101 : using what indicator?
[2017-01-12 02:56:33] premium_freak : people on the forums are crying..
[2017-01-12 02:56:38] arbitrage101 : i see
[2017-01-12 02:56:44] arbitrage101 : no one cry here i suppose
[2017-01-12 02:57:00] premium_freak : maybe one more drop.. I dunno
[2017-01-12 02:57:20] premium_freak : I'm leaving a little bit of dry powder for the last one if it goes to 700 :p
[2017-01-12 02:57:32] brojo : always have dry powder
[2017-01-12 02:57:36] XBT_IHCT : here I don't have enough liquidity to "buy the dip" and get myself out of these longs
[2017-01-12 02:57:44] arbitrage101 : 700 is less than 10% away
[2017-01-12 02:57:50] arbitrage101 : like 8%
[2017-01-12 02:57:51] brojo : or have in a dif coin contract that is low spread and liquid

[2017-01-12 03:36:40] sleger : at least
[2017-01-12 03:36:54] Dtrade16 : Why so much money?
[2017-01-12 03:37:02] sleger : thats cheap
[2017-01-12 03:37:10] ayy_lmao : lol
[2017-01-12 03:37:16] Dtrade16 : Ok
[2017-01-12 03:37:20] sleger : then hire some random dude online to code a "bot"
[2017-01-12 03:37:45] Dtrade16 : OK thanks for trolling

[2017-01-12 03:38:44] XBT_IHCT : sleger: are you making consistent profit everyday?
[2017-01-12 03:38:53] Dtrade16 : I can rent an arb bot for like $40-50 a month
[2017-01-12 03:39:04] sleger : i suggest you do that then
[2017-01-12 03:39:21] Dtrade16 : 100 BTC was a joke or are you guys being serious?
[2017-01-12 03:39:32] jedisatoshi : time to bounce back
[2017-01-12 03:40:00] Dtrade16 : Why would it be so cheap to rent then as opposed to buy?
[2017-01-12 03:40:03] sleger : Dtrade16: if someone can write a bot that makes 1btc per day for sure everyday like you say, then why rent it for 40$ a month ?
[2017-01-12 03:40:05] XBT_IHCT : jedisatoshi: hey man
[2017-01-12 03:40:13] Rado : back to test $800 one more time

[2017-01-12 03:40:42] Dtrade16 : sleger: I never said it would make that much
[2017-01-12 03:40:51] sleger : Dtrade16: same question with 0.1btc per day
[2017-01-12 03:41:08] sleger : (same with 0.01 ....)
[2017-01-12 03:41:13] Dtrade16 : sleger: You gotta point, and that's always what I asked

[2017-01-12 03:46:02] XBT_IHCT : right now I have 3 longs here, with no hedge because well I'm stupid I guess! lol
[2017-01-12 03:47:50] XBT_IHCT : sleger: hey man, how many coins do I need to put into a bot like yours to make 1~4 btc per day?
[2017-01-12 03:47:57] jedisatoshi : well that bounce from the red candle about 3 hours ago looks promising
[2017-01-12 03:48:19] sleger : no more bot answers
[2017-01-12 03:48:35] jedisatoshi : starting to get a little more aggressive now
[2017-01-12 03:48:37] XBT_IHCT : jedisatoshi: yeah but I didn't even have enough liquidity left here to buy the dip this time!
[2017-01-12 03:49:16] jedisatoshi : in times like this when im not sure how low its going to go i like to get my feet wet but i never bet with significance just enough to get in
[2017-01-12 03:49:22] abbey : this is nice. except i don't have anymore coins to long, and my positions are only 1/20 from yesterday since i got rekt so hard. Well baby steps up again with more sense. have to get some sleep now, happy trading fellas and good luck!
[2017-01-12 03:49:54] jedisatoshi : then i wait for a nice quick bounce and some consolidation before i put some weight on
[2017-01-12 03:50:11] Dtrade16 : sleger: I can code
[2017-01-12 03:50:39] XBT_IHCT : sleger: that was not a bot question per se, I was wondering if I could give you some coins lol because I understand that you for good reason want to keep your bot proprietary
[2017-01-12 03:51:30] sleger : i have enough coins for the bot already
[2017-01-12 03:51:37] jedisatoshi : XBT_IHCT: where are you in at my man?
[2017-01-12 03:51:41] ytaews : hmmmm sending ppl money based on trollbox claims that they have a profitable bot, seems like a good ponzi scheme
[2017-01-12 03:51:58] sleger : ytaews: hmmmmm even when those people say no ?
[2017-01-12 03:51:59] jedisatoshi : this the truthbox bro
[2017-01-12 03:52:14] ytaews : i have a bot that gives 10% return every day, who wants to send me their coins???
[2017-01-12 03:52:21] arbitrage101 : i am selling my bot

[2017-01-12 03:52:30] Dtrade16 : sleger: You said 100 btc lol
[2017-01-12 03:52:32] arbitrage101 : only 1 btc
[2017-01-12 03:52:54] sleger : Dtrade16: that was to code your bot

[2017-01-12 03:57:09] ytaews : sleger: sorry wasn't implying you are running a ponzi scheme, just saying a good way to get ripped off
[2017-01-12 03:57:25] jedisatoshi : well if we head lower (which i dont think we will much) maybe deleverage some or even hedge the other way just my 2cents
[2017-01-12 03:57:51] Dtrade16 : sleger: Are most of these bots unprofitable?
[2017-01-12 03:58:18] sleger : idk
[2017-01-12 03:58:43] brojo : i would guess they are --- hard to trade without knowing the environment and media etc
[2017-01-12 03:58:50] mark121 : Did somebody say Robot *clink clink*?
[2017-01-12 03:59:22] ytaews : brojo: wouldn't the ppl running them just stop running them then?
[2017-01-12 03:59:22] Dtrade16 : sleger: Bots on cryptotrader for example
[2017-01-12 03:59:30] Dtrade16 : I heard they are
[2017-01-12 03:59:37] mark121 : I am Zotan, a fully programmable trade bot, my maker is named Dr. Reihnhart
[2017-01-12 04:00:13] arbitrage101 : ytaews: many traders keep losing money, yet they still trade
[2017-01-12 04:00:14] ytaews : Dtrade16: think about it. if they are profitable why is the person who owns them not just making that profit themselves??
[2017-01-12 04:00:22] arbitrage101 : something to ponder
[2017-01-12 04:00:36] Dtrade16 : ytaews: I know
[2017-01-12 04:01:22] ytaews : arbitrage101: I feel like most ppl running MM bots have a better idea of how much money they are making and are more likely to reduce size or stop trading than the average trader
[2017-01-12 04:01:28] ytaews : maybe giving them too much credit though
[2017-01-12 04:01:44] arbitrage101 : doubt MM bot make money everyday consistently
[2017-01-12 04:01:59] ytaews : sure. but long-run
[2017-01-12 04:02:18] arbitrage101 : what do you think is the reasonable return?
[2017-01-12 04:03:03] ytaews : have no idea. depends on which exchanges you're running on, spreads and volume
[2017-01-12 04:03:40] ytaews : lets assume here on bmex spreads probably around $1-2 normally, so lets say around 15-20bps
[2017-01-12 04:04:48] arbitrage101 : dang, price drop is largeter than funding payment
[2017-01-12 04:04:59] ytaews : so with maker fees you probably theoretically end up with about 10bps a trade? if you get 5% of the volume here, say 45m last 24h thats around 2k profit a day
[2017-01-12 04:05:00] arbitrage101 : guess i should have close rather than wait for funding
[2017-01-12 04:05:16] ytaews : you wouldn't do that well in practice because you're gonna get picked off a fair bit of the time
[2017-01-12 04:05:34] arbitrage101 : ytaews: All traders compete with each other
[2017-01-12 04:05:39] arbitrage101 : so is MM bots
[2017-01-12 04:05:55] ytaews : ?
[2017-01-12 04:06:01] brojo : money maker bots?
[2017-01-12 04:06:04] arbitrage101 : trading manually have the edge of having human intellligence
[2017-01-12 04:06:04] brojo : they just buy and sell the spread
[2017-01-12 04:06:17] ytaews : arbitrage101: ah yeh, ppl 4get that
[2017-01-12 04:06:24] Dtrade16 : ytaews: What's a mm bot?
[2017-01-12 04:06:27] ytaews : thats why computers will never replace pit traders
[2017-01-12 04:06:27] arbitrage101 : you assume automatic trading bot gives you an edge
[2017-01-12 04:06:37] ytaews : Dtrade16: market-making
[2017-01-12 04:06:50] XBT_IHCT : ytaews: do you run a bot?
[2017-01-12 04:07:01] ytaews : not here
[2017-01-12 04:07:12] XBT_IHCT : where then?
[2017-01-12 04:07:21] jedisatoshi : bots become predictable which is good for scalping

[2017-01-12 04:10:57] XBT_IHCT : were you holding onto your coins rather than selling the top?

[2017-01-12 04:13:56] XBT_IHCT : it's philosophical, but I think it is better to stand behind your position with what you've got.
[2017-01-12 04:14:06] KingTuna : Dtrade16: nope... but clearly should
[2017-01-12 04:14:14] brojo : i am going to vegas and I think we've found some sort of bottom kind of just want to do 2-3x long and not look for 3-4 days like crazy
[2017-01-12 04:14:21] Dtrade16 : KingTuna: I lost my ass using stops
[2017-01-12 04:14:28] brojo : have to use stop limits
[2017-01-12 04:14:35] brojo : and trailing stops on winners
[2017-01-12 04:15:07] XBT_IHCT : rather than fight loss aversion with automation

[2017-01-12 06:00:30] nOgAnOo : wish I never would have came here
[2017-01-12 06:00:57] nOgAnOo : then I gotta listen to everyones generic bullshit after i got rekt like "we told you so"
[2017-01-12 06:01:10] nOgAnOo : and "too high of leverage"

[2017-01-12 06:03:12] micmix : nOgAnOo: hard to make money in this market
[2017-01-12 06:03:23] micmix : for a new trader
[2017-01-12 06:04:01] johndoe : leverage is by far the number one enemy of new traders here. if people simply avoided leverage, things would go so much more smoothly. But people want to gamble, not invest.

[2017-01-12 06:05:39] nOgAnOo : I called both the peak and the dump nearly to the dollar
[2017-01-12 06:06:09] XBT_IHCT : nOgAnOo: then why aren't you in massive profit?
[2017-01-12 06:06:11] johndoe : talk is cheap.
[2017-01-12 06:06:11] jedisatoshi : nOgAnOo: you cant blame anyone in here for your loss dude. you make your own choices
[2017-01-12 06:06:38] nOgAnOo : XBT, you remember when you invited me here
