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.

If I get something simple working in Python would you be interested? [2015-11-06 04:56:41] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : You could put in your credentials and it would tell you PNL based on the orderbook for the open position [2015-11-06 04:57:38] billyboy402 : any admin online [2015-11-06 04:58:39] BitMEX_Arthur : billyboy402: How can we help [2015-11-06 04:59:05] billyboy402 : hey mate , i made a trade about 3 hours ago and close it , but i cant see in in my history [2015-11-06 04:59:43] billyboy402 : sold daily at 375 and close 365 . just wondering where i go to see it , order history doesnt show it [2015-11-06 05:00:21] BitMEX_Wally : billyboy402: Trade history is here: https://www.bitmex.com/app/tradeHistory [2015-11-06 05:00:41] BitMEX_Wally : (Under `Account / Wallet` on the sidebar) [2015-11-06 05:01:33] billyboy402 : oh i see now [2015-11-06 05:02:17] billyboy402 : any way to remove cancel order , most my page are cancel order lol [2015-11-06 05:04:01] BitMEX_Wally : billyboy402: Which tab are you seeing the cancelled orders in?

It doesn't normally bother me, however when the market is going crazy it does add a little bit of stress :) [2015-11-06 05:14:45] BitMEX_Wally : Might be a lag in processing the web socket update locally [2015-11-06 05:15:45] coolcatgee : whats with all the small orders in the book, its blocking our view [2015-11-06 05:17:04] BitMEX_Wally : Just playing round [2015-11-06 05:17:50] BitMEX_Wally : He might not know how small 5 contracts really is... [2015-11-06 05:18:53] coolcatgee : i think it could be used as a technique to hide the market depth [2015-11-06 05:19:05] coolcatgee : if he does that at every penny in both directions [2015-11-06 05:19:21] BitMEX_Wally : If you are on the Advanced layout you can expand the order book [2015-11-06 05:19:25] BitMEX_Wally : See all the levels [2015-11-06 05:20:03] coolcatgee : i expanded it and at the time it when across both the ask and bid ... I had orders in that weren't showing [2015-11-06 05:20:16] ayy lmao : be nice if basic UI had a chart and order controls together without needing to toggle [2015-11-06 05:20:18] BitMEX_Wally : Ahh, I think it's limited to 25 [2015-11-06 05:20:26] coolcatgee : yea 25 deep [2015-11-06 05:20:27] BitMEX_Wally : ayy lmao: Switch to Advanced mode [2015-11-06 05:20:41] BitMEX_Wally : Under `Options` top right [2015-11-06 05:20:47] BitMEX_Wally : `Dashboard Layout: Advanced` [2015-11-06 05:20:49] ayy lmao : bitmex_Wally, i have been using it but I like the simplicity of basic [2015-11-06 05:21:06] SnackyCoins : #addictedtoadvanced [2015-11-06 05:21:18] germanjew : /me getting used to advanced order book [2015-11-06 05:22:04] coolcatgee : maybe you can do nested order ranges in the expanded view like a range so we can drill down the order book to any level [2015-11-06 05:22:53] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : germanjew: What's the deal with the advanced orderbook even? It appears to only show one side [2015-11-06 05:23:05] coolcatgee : so like all bids between 360-365 can be in one line if they total less than 5000 contracts [2015-11-06 05:23:11] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : Ohh I see now [2015-11-06 05:23:13] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : nvm [2015-11-06 05:23:15] germanjew : there are separate bid and ask colms [2015-11-06 05:23:16] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : That's weird [2015-11-06 05:23:21] germanjew : yes, it is quite different [2015-11-06 05:23:33] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : Shows more though, which is nice [2015-11-06 05:24:23] SnackyCoins : it's still colored lol [2015-11-06 05:24:40] SnackyCoins : the margin details are sweet, too [2015-11-06 05:24:48] coolcatgee : it wouldn't be a problem if we all had bots, but if I'm manually trading i want to edge out my other bidder, where the order depth drops [2015-11-06 05:25:14] billyboy402 : i dont like the advance orderbook , i font like the price in the middle , they need to be bold or some thing , look like a bingo sheet [2015-11-06 05:25:14] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : It would be awesome if the dashboard were customizable. You could select whether you wanted the advanced or simple view per widget, or hide it all together, then rearrange things [2015-11-06 05:25:14] germanjew : yes, being able to see more is better for me, I will just have to get used to it. It is a very clever way of using space [2015-11-06 05:25:45] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : Maybe I'll just create my own UI [2015-11-06 05:26:58] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : About ready to short this hard if it doesn't break upward [2015-11-06 05:27:29] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : If the price were still high enough I could make a 404: Buyers not found joke [2015-11-06 05:28:09] coolcatgee : lol, i still laughed [2015-11-06 05:29:59] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : :) Will be interesting to see what happens when OKCoin futures settle [2015-11-06 05:30:08] laisee : pls don' short ETH, I am long 42 contracts and in profit on settle day.

Is that same scenario? [2015-11-06 06:46:28] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : billyboy402: Probably on Isolated Instead of cross margin. Lucky for you that saved your hide [2015-11-06 06:46:29] laisee : perhaps network issue. [2015-11-06 06:46:47] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : laisee: Always quick for me.

[2015-11-06 07:05:28] SnackyCoins : not on the same contract [2015-11-06 07:05:37] SnackyCoins : but you can be long 7d and short 24h, for example [2015-11-06 07:06:09] germanjew : having positions open on the same contract in diff directions does not make sense, hence why they will net [2015-11-06 07:07:53] ethexio : It could make sense. I've done it on Okcoin weeklies with OK returns. Just a lot to manage. [2015-11-06 07:08:17] ethexio : Okcoin [2015-11-06 07:08:25] ethexio : Lol [2015-11-06 07:08:38] ethexio : Love the auto replace [2015-11-06 07:08:54] ethexio : OK coin [2015-11-06 07:09:51] germanjew : as far as I understand, 50 down + 60 up = 10 up [2015-11-06 07:10:42] ethexio : Depends where placed, and amount. [2015-11-06 07:10:52] ethexio : You're right though [2015-11-06 07:13:29] gaoMex : BitMEX_Wally: I got liquated. The execution price in Recent Trades is higher than the execution price in Trade History. Which price is correct? [2015-11-06 07:17:52] BitMEX_Wally : gaoMex: The price in your trade history is your bankruptPrice [2015-11-06 07:18:01] BitMEX_Wally : i.e. it was taken over with any remaining equity [2015-11-06 07:18:06] BitMEX_Wally : Then it was liquidated by the system [2015-11-06 07:20:03] SnackyCoins : If i was curious what % of open interest I was, I would need to half my position size before comparing it to the open interest right? because my counterparty also has a position opposite mine? [2015-11-06 07:20:18] gaoMex : So with respect to my balance, I should look at bankruptPrice on trade history? @BitMEX_Wally [2015-11-06 07:20:36] BitMEX_Wally : Yes [2015-11-06 07:20:55] BitMEX_Wally : SnackyCoins: If you are long 100 then someone is short 100 and the open interest would be 100 [2015-11-06 07:23:18] gaoMex : BitMEX_Wally: So if I had sold manually instead of liquidation, I would have higher balance? [2015-11-06 07:23:32] BitMEX_Wally : gaoMex: Yes [2015-11-06 07:23:51] SnackyCoins : I was thinking that would make me half the market, but i guess it is more accurate to say that the two of us in the example share the whole of it equally [2015-11-06 07:23:53] gaoMex : BitMEX_Wally: OMG! :( [2015-11-06 07:25:05] gaoMex : BitMEX_Wally: Just curious, who takes over the difference? [2015-11-06 07:25:14] Scottv53 : BitMEX_Wally: what strategy would you employ to hedge your bitcoins in your wallet whilst trading, against depreciation in absolute terms against the USD? [2015-11-06 07:26:35] BitMEX_Wally : gaoMex: The difference goes into the system loss fund [2015-11-06 07:26:59] BitMEX_Wally : In a fast moving market the system can make a loss when liquidating and so any profits offset these losse [2015-11-06 07:27:03] gaoMex : For DPE? [2015-11-06 07:27:05] BitMEX_Wally : Yes [2015-11-06 07:27:15] SnackyCoins : today i learned there's an insurance fund [2015-11-06 07:27:32] BitMEX_Wally : Scottv53: I would recommend you short XBUZ15 to hedge the dollar value of your Bitcoins [2015-11-06 07:27:45] gaoMex : Is the value of the fund published? [2015-11-06 07:27:49] BitMEX_Wally : SnackyCoins: How do you think we've managed to keep the tax rate at 0% this whole time? [2015-11-06 07:28:38] SnackyCoins : Woodchipper's were getting cleaned up pretty well :) figured that was going on [2015-11-06 07:29:25] SnackyCoins : Never saw it mentioned on the DPE page, but I havent read it since it was released [2015-11-06 07:29:54] SnackyCoins : I could just be blind 8) [2015-11-06 07:53:41] laisee : 🏧 [2015-11-06 07:58:48] dorothy490 : bids = none [2015-11-06 08:03:15] BitMEX_Wally : dorothy490: Could you take a screenshot?

[2015-11-06 08:10:45] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : silverswordfish: I think it's a real possibility. Part of that is probably just wishful thinking though [2015-11-06 08:11:25] silverswordfish : In the next 7 days? [2015-11-06 08:13:15] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : If it's going to happen I think it will be in the next few days [2015-11-06 08:13:23] micmix : silverswordfish: I would watch 2500 CNY level, if it stays above it for the weekend there is a good chance we'll go up [2015-11-06 08:13:52] micmix : not sure about the next 7 days though [2015-11-06 08:14:45] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : micmix: This crash was very very fast and I expect any serious retracement to happen pretty much just as quickly [2015-11-06 08:15:11] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : Who knows if that's going to happen at all though [2015-11-06 08:15:19] silverswordfish : If it dips to 330 im out, just gotta wait and hope [2015-11-06 08:16:09] silverswordfish : If it hits 330 im out. Just have to cross my fingers i suppose [2015-11-06 08:18:18] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : silverswordfish: Please don't go long on my random thoughts!

Please assist [2015-11-06 12:26:18] BitMEX_Arthur : What is the error message that you are getting? [2015-11-06 12:27:41] Scottv53 : BitMEX_Arthur: i toggled to cross margin type. [2015-11-06 12:28:30] BitMEX_Wally : Scottv53: Please switch to isolate and then try a market close [2015-11-06 12:28:34] BitMEX_Wally : I am working on fixing this issue [2015-11-06 12:28:35] wurstgelee : BitMEX_Arthur: same problem i had [2015-11-06 12:28:40] wurstgelee : yesterday [2015-11-06 12:28:41] TschavaTschigger : just be very carefuly with market orders at cross margin [2015-11-06 12:28:51] wurstgelee : closing with isolated margin seems impossible sometimesy [2015-11-06 12:29:18] Scottv53 : i was able to close the postion with cross margin. [2015-11-06 12:29:25] wurstgelee : yes, that works [2015-11-06 12:29:31] BitMEX_Wally : Scottv53: What error were you seeing? [2015-11-06 12:29:42] wurstgelee : it said something of out of range for me [2015-11-06 12:30:05] wurstgelee : because the order itself would be out of range of mark price with isolated margin [2015-11-06 12:30:14] Scottv53 : it was reverting with " Market order cancelled" [2015-11-06 12:30:20] wurstgelee : yep, same [2015-11-06 12:30:34] wurstgelee : but that error shouldnt happen if it counters a position [2015-11-06 12:31:09] TschavaTschigger : +1 happened to me too yesterday [2015-11-06 12:31:12] wurstgelee : the workaround to use cross margin fixes it, but that is risky in times of high volatility [2015-11-06 12:31:21] Scottv53 : it worked [2015-11-06 12:31:24] j8 : @BitMEX_Wally @BitMEX_Arthur fair mid price is stuck [2015-11-06 12:31:42] j8 : nvm [2015-11-06 12:32:09] BitMEX_Wally : Scottv53: Ok, I see your close out order in the system, let me check what happened to it [2015-11-06 12:32:35] wurstgelee : doesnt only happen with market close, also when you try to place a manual order with fixed price to close [2015-11-06 12:32:40] BitMEX_Wally : Scottv53: This was in `XBTZ15`? [2015-11-06 12:32:58] Scottv53 : yes [2015-11-06 12:33:28] BitMEX_Wally : You were short 10 contracts and submitted a Close Market. This submitted a buy order to buy up to your liquidation price of 435.79 but unfortunately the ask price is 500.00 so the order was not executed [2015-11-06 12:33:46] BitMEX_Wally : Close orders are IOC (ImmediateOrCancel) so they are canceled after sweeping the order book [2015-11-06 12:34:14] dorothy490 : what means "canceled" ? [2015-11-06 12:34:16] wurstgelee : BitMEX_Wally: i will tell you next time this happens with a limit price order ;) [2015-11-06 12:34:46] BitMEX_Wally : A market order does not rest in the order book [2015-11-06 12:34:53] BitMEX_Wally : It tries to execute and then it is cancled [2015-11-06 12:35:09] dorothy490 : so easy way to "cancel" orders found? [2015-11-06 12:37:20] podizzler3k_ : if market close doesnt work try mashing your mouse button harder and faster [2015-11-06 12:37:28] wurstgelee : lol :D [2015-11-06 12:37:34] podizzler3k_ : screaming and panicking could help too [2015-11-06 12:37:47] wurstgelee : i heard loud swearing helps too [2015-11-06 12:40:31] Scottv53 : BitMEX_Wally: can see the short order im about to close [2015-11-06 12:41:01] BitMEX_Wally : Scottv53: Ys [2015-11-06 12:41:33] BitMEX_Wally : You have isolate margin disabled, so it should be fine [2015-11-06 12:42:07] TschavaTschigger : BitMEX_Wally: are there any plans to make the leverage in isolated margin customizable in the soon future? I know I can add margin to a position manually, but this requires a position to be open already. Sometimes I want to open up a position outside of mark price range, and I dont want to switch to cross-margin for obvious reasons [2015-11-06 12:42:38] Scottv53 : see my wallet balance take note the balance it s @BitMEX_Wally [2015-11-06 12:43:01] BitMEX_Wally : Scottv53: Before you click market close [2015-11-06 12:43:15] BitMEX_Wally : Just realise that you shorted at 426 [2015-11-06 12:43:20] BitMEX_Wally : And you are about to buy back at 500 [2015-11-06 12:43:25] BitMEX_Wally : That is a big loss [2015-11-06 12:44:00] BitMEX_Wally : Actually the offer on XBTZ15 is now 465 [2015-11-06 12:44:02] BitMEX_Wally : But still a loss [2015-11-06 12:44:45] BitMEX_Wally : TschavaTschigger: we are working on it [2015-11-06 12:45:02] TschavaTschigger : BitMEX_Wally: cool thanks [2015-11-06 12:45:31] wurstgelee : TschavaTschigger: @BitMEX_Wally +1 ;) [2015-11-06 12:45:51] Scottv53 : on pnl indicates postive @BitMEX_Wally [2015-11-06 12:46:41] BitMEX_Wally : Scottv53: PNL is positive at the current mark price, which is 404.66 [2015-11-06 12:46:43] dorothy490 : BitMEX_Wally: why "witheld" profit being used to maintain margin on my position but I cannot use this "profit" to add margin into isolated position? [2015-11-06 12:46:46] BitMEX_Wally : It's not positive if you buy at the market price [2015-11-06 12:47:38] BitMEX_Wally : dorothy490: All profit (realised and unrealised) is withheld until settlement or rebalance [2015-11-06 12:49:03] dorothy490 : yes but this profit being used to maintain margin on cross mode [2015-11-06 12:49:16] dorothy490 : however I cannot use it to manually add this part into isolated position [2015-11-06 12:49:24] Scottv53 : BitMEX_Wally: Ok got it. there's diffirence between market and Mark price. [2015-11-06 12:49:31] dorothy490 : non logical [2015-11-06 12:50:18] BitMEX_Wally : dorothy490: Let me check your account [2015-11-06 12:51:08] dorothy490 : I doesnt have witheld profits atm [2015-11-06 12:51:28] dorothy490 : I jsut noticed it earlier, when I had big profit yesterday but was able to use only "avaliable" part of the balance to add into "isolated" position [2015-11-06 12:52:53] BitMEX_Wally : All unrealisedPnl on the position is already considered margin on the position [2015-11-06 12:53:27] dorothy490 : BitMEX_Wally: not talkingabout current situation. Talking about "Witheld profit" (which is unable to use before settlement). That part is not possible to add into isolated position [2015-11-06 12:54:11] dorothy490 : also its not possible to copy from this trollbox :) [2015-11-06 12:54:56] BitMEX_Wally : So yes, you can only move 'Avaialble Margin' into a position [2015-11-06 12:55:02] BitMEX_Wally : So any withheld profit is not 'availble' [2015-11-06 12:55:24] BitMEX_Wally : However, any unrealised profit on your `XBT24H` position is already on the position in isolated mode [2015-11-06 12:55:50] BitMEX_Wally : This unrealised profit is unavailable to any other position, but it is available to your XBT24H position. [2015-11-06 12:55:56] BitMEX_Wally : i.e. you can lose what to made [2015-11-06 12:55:59] BitMEX_Wally : You can lose what you made [2015-11-06 12:56:03] dorothy490 : so please describe why it is logical to use "withheld profit" to on cross mode but not possible to use on isolated margin [2015-11-06 12:56:20] BitMEX_Wally : If you put isolated margin on [2015-11-06 12:56:24] dorothy490 : I understand that I can lose it, question is why you are not allowing me to lose it on isolated mode :) [2015-11-06 12:56:27] BitMEX_Wally : The 'withheld profit' is already there [2015-11-06 12:56:30] BitMEX_Wally : It's not illogical [2015-11-06 12:56:35] BitMEX_Wally : It is already added to the isolate margin position [2015-11-06 12:56:51] BitMEX_Wally : Isolate margin means you only lose the 1% initial margin plus any profit [2015-11-06 12:57:38] dorothy490 : Yes, and its possible to increase margin [2015-11-06 12:57:41] dorothy490 : on isolatde [2015-11-06 12:58:20] dorothy490 : and I can increase margin on isolated from "avalaible" part of the balance [2015-11-06 12:58:29] dorothy490 : question why I can't use "withheld" profits for tha [2015-11-06 12:58:54] BitMEX_Wally : I am trying to tell you that you cn [2015-11-06 12:58:55] BitMEX_Wally : In fact, you can't not
