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.

[2017-01-19 15:20:30] Rado2 : you should transfer at least 0..01 [2017-01-19 15:20:31] Rado2 : yes [2017-01-19 15:21:19] bingbongfly : so if you deposit 0.01, then withdraw it you'll lose 10% of what you deposit. That's insane [2017-01-19 15:21:26] bingbongfly : if you use the preset fee [2017-01-19 15:22:33] bingbongfly : so @anonymous123421 lose like 5-10% of his stack every time he withdraws, seems like a pretty big waste to me [2017-01-19 15:24:13] Rado2 : bingbongfly: why would you withdraw? [2017-01-19 15:24:33] Rado2 : if you made 0.1 then maybe [2017-01-19 15:24:43] anonymous123421 : bingbongfly: What if I told you I don't plan on withdrawing for a while. Are you referring to the network fee of .0004 BTC? There is no withdraw fee besides the network fee [2017-01-19 15:24:45] Rado2 : but why do you need to withdraw and deposit again and again [2017-01-19 15:25:06] bingbongfly : anonymous123421: the minimum fee is 0.0008. [2017-01-19 15:25:23] anonymous123421 : "BitMEX does not charge fees on deposits or withdrawals. When withdrawing Bitcoin, the minimum Bitcoin Network fee is 0.0004 XBT."

I mean if I go 200 x 10 = 2000 long with leverage [2017-01-19 19:16:43] Kinda : I open a short position of 200 x10 = 2000 [2017-01-19 19:18:16] sleger : if you short you will get rekt [2017-01-19 19:18:57] Kinda : sleger: well if I need to close my position [2017-01-19 19:19:19] thedoc : are we at the top of the bull trap #btc [2017-01-19 19:19:36] sleger : ^ forgot to take his pill [2017-01-19 19:20:17] BTCDJS : Kinda: The profit and loss calculator will always give you the right answer no matter what levarage or contracts. Reason for this is, If say you want 3000 contracts at 25x you will use less margin from your wallet. But if you want 3000 contracts at 5x you will use more of you wallet balance to have 3000. [2017-01-19 19:21:34] BTCDJS : The calc is taking your X number of contracts from price A to price B [2017-01-19 19:21:37] thedoc : BitMEX has updated! Please refresh your browser to get the latest features & performance improvements. [2017-01-19 19:22:04] dodic : Thank for the update :) [2017-01-19 19:22:21] Kinda : BTCDJS: shouldn't it be the opposite? [2017-01-19 19:23:41] BTCDJS : The amount of leverage you pick determines how much of your own money you are putting in. So the calc will work for me if Im 50X 3000 contracts and it will work for you if you are 5X 3000 contracts. [2017-01-19 19:24:12] BTCDJS : if we entred and exit at the same prices the numbers will be the same [2017-01-19 19:24:37] thedoc : thanks for the calculator update Bitmex. christmas came a bit late but i'm happy [2017-01-19 19:24:39] BTCDJS : only difference is im 50X so I put less money in to get 3000 than you [2017-01-19 19:25:22] BTCDJS : your 5x so you will need to put more bitcoin in to get 3000. [2017-01-19 19:25:54] BTCDJS : But the downside is im 50x so I can get liquidated quicker than you [2017-01-19 19:28:08] Baseballman : I like the calculator feature.. was it there before and I just overlooked it? [2017-01-19 19:28:27] thedoc : Baseballman: https://blog.bitmex.com/site_announcement/frontend-update-jan-19-2017/ [2017-01-19 19:28:36] thedoc : it's like 40 minutes old [2017-01-19 19:28:48] BitMEX_Sam : There was always a calculator, but only the PNL section [2017-01-19 19:29:26] thedoc : i like how it shows current price for swap and march 31 next to the tabs [2017-01-19 19:29:27] KyllingLolsson : yeah lovley calculator!

[2017-01-19 19:30:05] BTCDJS : BitMEX_Sam: was I correctly describing how the calc works for @Kinda [2017-01-19 19:30:13] BitMEX_Sam : Hmm, I'm seeing that too re: the price updates, will take a look. [2017-01-19 19:30:30] BitMEX_Sam : BTCDJS: Yeah, leverage doesn't change your profit, only your ROE [2017-01-19 19:30:46] BitMEX_Sam : trat: Believe so, yes, will check the logs [2017-01-19 19:32:34] NeoXx : A beginner question: I have a long position which I bought two days ago and my available balance was 0 since I used up all the deposit. However after 2 days my available balance has grown, why is that? I thought we only profit/lose when we close the position [2017-01-19 19:33:14] anonymous123421 : NeoXx: Funding is added to realized PNL [2017-01-19 19:33:17] BTCDJS : NeoXx: funding [2017-01-19 19:33:26] BTCDJS : Shorts paid longs [2017-01-19 19:33:27] BitMEX_Sam : See https://www.bitmex.com/app/tradeHistory [2017-01-19 19:34:18] NeoXx : got it [2017-01-19 19:34:18] NeoXx : thanks [2017-01-19 19:34:59] BTCDJS : NeoXx: if you see funding is -0.XXXX longs get paid [2017-01-19 19:35:26] BTCDJS : If you see funding rate is 0.xxxx shorts get paid [2017-01-19 19:37:03] NeoXx : and its irrespective of leverage? [2017-01-19 19:37:13] BitMEX_Sam : It's based on the position size only. [2017-01-19 19:39:22] NeoXx : understood, thanks [2017-01-19 19:41:03] Kinda : with the calculator I have and exit value of 0.35 XBT and a ROE% of 453 to calculate my total btc I just do 0.35*4,53? [2017-01-19 19:42:00] BitMEX_Sam : It's in the Profit/Loss entry [2017-01-19 19:42:16] BitMEX_Sam : Profit/Loss is what you really made, ROE is relative to how much margin you put up [2017-01-19 19:42:43] BitMEX_Sam : So if you put up 1 Bitcoin and made 1% (0.01 Bitcoin), that'd be 0.0100 Profit, 1% Profit % and 100% ROE at 100x [2017-01-19 19:42:52] Apocalyptic : BitMEX_Sam: any way to unload the chart in the advanced layout ? i'm missing the icon [2017-01-19 19:43:01] BitMEX_Sam : Just resize it to be as small as it goes [2017-01-19 19:44:15] Kinda : BitMEX_Sam: so if I have a profit of 0.35 with a ROE 453.42%? [2017-01-19 19:44:20] Apocalyptic : BitMEX_Sam: I managed to, just not sure it does unload it from memory [2017-01-19 19:44:45] Kinda : BitMEX_Sam: 1.93 XBT? [2017-01-19 19:45:33] BitMEX_Sam : Apocalyptic: It does [2017-01-19 19:45:36] BitMEX_Sam : Kinda: No, don't multiply [2017-01-19 19:45:40] BitMEX_Sam : Your profit is 0.35 [2017-01-19 19:45:43] Apocalyptic : BitMEX_Sam: thanks for confirming [2017-01-19 19:46:07] Kinda : BitMEX_Sam: but why take the risk to *25 then :/ [2017-01-19 19:46:20] BitMEX_Sam : Because you had to put up far less margin to do so. [2017-01-19 19:47:57] anonymous123421 : BitMEX_Sam: Nice changes, I like seeing the price of the futures contract on the button to look at it. [2017-01-19 19:48:08] Apocalyptic : yeah that's really helpful [2017-01-19 19:48:23] Kinda : BitMEX_Sam: sorry but it does not make sense for me. by going x25 I take more risk to be liquidated faster but I expect also my gains to be higher. What is the point to leverage trade if I get the same result as If I wasn't leverage trading [2017-01-19 19:48:41] BitMEX_Greg : Kinda: You are using less margin by having a higher leverage [2017-01-19 19:48:52] esuvari : BitMEX_Sam: hi Sam, the profit loss calculator won't update the margin when you change the leverage value [2017-01-19 19:49:01] BitMEX_Sam : esuvari: Yes, just noticed that and pushing a fix now :) [2017-01-19 19:49:10] BitMEX_Greg : Kinda: If you want to use more margin, then you simply need to buy more contracts. Your profit is based on the amount of contracts you enter and exit out of [2017-01-19 19:49:14] esuvari : ok, thanks [2017-01-19 19:52:10] NeoXx : Kinda: in other words, if your order costs 1XBT with no leverage, it will cost 1/25XBT with 25x leverage. So if you want to spend the same amount of money and use the 25x leverage you have to increase quantity by 25x [2017-01-19 19:52:38] sleger : BitMEX_Sam: yes those prices on subtabs are useful ! Maybe you could even squeeze them on main tabs, even if smaller, that would be useful to not have to click on any altcoin to see its price crashing [2017-01-19 19:52:53] Kinda : NeoXx: yes I did understand that but if I go long and my coin goes long I make more profit by going x25 right? [2017-01-19 19:53:01] Kinda : NeoXx: since I have more buy power [2017-01-19 19:53:08] NeoXx : Kinda: yes [2017-01-19 19:53:26] REKT : Liquidated long on `XBTUSD`: sell 3745 @ 896.50 [2017-01-19 19:55:03] BitMEX_Greg : Kinda: Your profit and loss is entirely dependent on how much contracts you buy or sell. Let's say you buy 100 contracts ($100), your PNL is exactly the same irrespective if you use 1x leverage, 5x leverage, or even 100x leverage [2017-01-19 19:55:23] knikky : dat descending triangle [2017-01-19 19:56:08] NeoXx : Kinda: it works the other way around than you thought, I also fell for this at first. When you put say 10x leverage on a 1XBT order, its not that you control 10XBT with 1XBT, but you control 1XBT with 10 times less money (0.1XBT). [2017-01-19 19:58:01] Kinda : NeoXx: Yes I see thank you so if I had 0.1 btc profit without my 10x I will get 1 btc profit with my 10 x? [2017-01-19 19:58:01] BitMEX_Sam : esuvari: That's fixed. [2017-01-19 19:58:21] BitMEX_Sam : Kinda: You would, if you used that 10x to open a 10x larger position. [2017-01-19 19:58:36] esuvari : yep, seems fixed. thanks [2017-01-19 19:59:40] NeoXx : Kinda: yes, but don't forget to increase quantity by 10x [2017-01-19 20:00:19] NeoXx : Kinda: in other words with 10x leverage, you can buy a 10x bigger position, that's what you want [2017-01-19 20:00:43] Kinda : NeoXx: yes :) I have dragged to little point to x10 [2017-01-19 20:00:43] NeoXx : Kinda: for the same amount of invested cash [2017-01-19 20:01:36] NeoXx : Kinda: check the cost, its 10x less now [2017-01-19 20:03:00] Kinda : NeoXx: sorry where do I see that [2017-01-19 20:04:02] Kinda : NeoXx: I put my number of contracts in dragged the button to x10 and pushed on buy / long [2017-01-19 20:04:18] NeoXx : Cost is written below Buy/Long button [2017-01-19 20:05:06] Kinda : NeoXx: 22 @ 0.0135588 [2017-01-19 20:05:49] NeoXx : Kinda: that's the cost with 10x leverage, with no leverage it would be 10x that value [2017-01-19 20:07:07] Kinda : NeoXx: so for 22 contracts I pay 0.013588 [2017-01-19 20:07:22] Kinda : NeoXx: how come I still have XBT available? [2017-01-19 20:08:05] NeoXx : Kinda: its because you used leverage, it makes your order cheaper, you have to increase the quantity the same number of times as you chose leverage if you want to invest all you have on the account [2017-01-19 20:08:15] NeoXx : Kinda: read what we wrote before again [2017-01-19 20:08:46] Kinda : NeoXx: do I have to close my order and re-opend after or I just can add contracts? [2017-01-19 20:09:46] NeoXx : Kinda: just add, buy again the same thing and it will all combine into a single order since its the same [2017-01-19 20:09:56] thedoc : i have a request bitmex. for the slider if we slide it betweeen 25x-50x it should slide and show the numbers between 25 and 50 for us to pick for leverage [2017-01-19 20:10:20] BitMEX_Greg : thedoc: You can manually select your leverage on the right on the slider [2017-01-19 20:10:23] datboiyuan : you can write in your amount with the pencil [2017-01-19 20:10:24] BitMEX_Greg : using the edit button [2017-01-19 20:10:36] thedoc : yeah. this would be just another option [2017-01-19 20:10:38] datboiyuan : what he said [2017-01-19 20:11:15] rapidtrades : 900 again huh [2017-01-19 20:11:23] rapidtrades : oh well don't say u weren't warned [2017-01-19 20:11:56] NeoXx : if I selected 15x leverage when i placed my order, why is it fluctuating from 8-25x leverage? [2017-01-19 20:12:39] BitMEX_Greg : NeoXx: Unrealised PNL is added to your margin and hence affecting the associated leverage [2017-01-19 20:13:12] Kinda : BitMEX_Greg: I had 20 contracts in the begin and added 200 contracts to it why does my QTy is at 200 ? [2017-01-19 20:14:14] BitMEX_Greg : Kinda: Were they all filled? [2017-01-19 20:14:31] Kinda : BitMEX_Greg: 78 of 200 are filled [2017-01-19 20:15:04] BitMEX_Greg : Kinda: So if you bought 20, and then 78 were filled your current position should be 98 [2017-01-19 20:15:25] Kinda : BitMEX_Greg: current is 100 [2017-01-19 20:15:52] BitMEX_Greg : Kinda: Right, I see your exact quantity you initially bought was in fact 22. So 22 + 78 is 100. [2017-01-19 20:16:08] Kinda : BitMEX_Greg: hoo yes sorry :p [2017-01-19 20:16:25] Kinda : BitMEX_Greg: so why qty is at 200 if total is supposed to be 222? [2017-01-19 20:16:29] thedoc : 0kcoin almost new high [2017-01-19 20:16:50] BTCDJS : Kinda: because 7 8 9 [2017-01-19 20:17:20] BTCDJS : rapidtrades: you still short? [2017-01-19 20:17:23] Kinda : BTCDJS: pardon me? [2017-01-19 20:17:33] BTCDJS : How are you surviving ? [2017-01-19 20:17:46] BTCDJS : Kinda: Fun with numbers joke [2017-01-19 20:18:04] rapidtrades : im fiiine [2017-01-19 20:18:31] Kinda : BTCDJS: I see expiry data in 15 hours what does it exactly mean? That my position will close automatticaly in 15 hours? [2017-01-19 20:18:59] BitMEX_Greg : Kinda: Because you have not filled the remaining 22 contracts. [2017-01-19 20:19:24] Kinda : BitMEX_Greg: so I lost them :o? [2017-01-19 20:19:56] BitMEX_Greg : Kinda: Monero futures expire every Friday at 12:00 UTC. Please see the contract specifications: https://www.bitmex.com/app/contract/XMR7D [2017-01-19 20:20:03] BTCDJS : Kinda: Are you for real mate? [2017-01-19 20:20:20] BitMEX_Greg : Kinda: No, they have not been lost. You have only purchased 22 and 78 contracts. You have a standing limit order for the remaining quantity [2017-01-19 20:20:32] Kinda : BTCDJS: Dude I made some money without leveraging now I am trying to learn leave me alone if u don't wantto help me :) [2017-01-19 20:20:50] BitMEX_Greg : Please check your active orders tab [2017-01-19 20:21:45] Kinda : BitMEX_Greg: Filled 78 Remaining : 122 QTY 200 => this should be 220 since 200+20 [2017-01-19 20:22:47] BTCDJS : Kinda: Everything is there on the screen for you to see. Just look around the place and you will quickly see how it all works [2017-01-19 20:22:48] sleger : 200-78 = ? [2017-01-19 20:23:12] BitMEX_Greg : Kinda: You bought 22 contracts. You then placed a further order to buy 200 of which 78 were filled. Hence you bought a total of 100. You now have an existing order of 122 left standing in the order book. I am unsure of the confusion here [2017-01-19 20:23:35] BTCDJS : me too [2017-01-19 20:23:57] Noobz : that first 22 was another order that is filled and does not show up anymore and is not included in that 200 order. That is the reason it is 200 and not 222 [2017-01-19 20:24:59] Kinda : BitMEX_Greg: Ok I get it sorry I am so high :D [2017-01-19 20:25:01] BTCDJS : Even Noobz knows whats going on. And he only joined us 1 hour ago. He also didnt ask as many questions [2017-01-19 20:25:47] Kinda : BTCDJS: Good for you my English is not great so I have difficulties with the language :) [2017-01-19 20:26:17] BitMEX_Greg : Kinda: Best not to trade when under the influence [2017-01-19 20:26:41] BTCDJS : Kinda: Welkom. Moenie teveel kak praat nie. Ons het nie lus vir sulke goed [2017-01-19 20:26:54] rapidtrades : what if you're under the influence of ur stupiddity? like many are here?

[2017-01-19 20:44:08] sleger : I assume you must have awesome deals/prices to post it here ? @Nooby [2017-01-19 20:44:11] sleger : examples [2017-01-19 20:44:56] sleger : I will need it shipped to Nigeria [2017-01-19 20:45:30] sleger : I'm assuming it will be a local mail then ;) [2017-01-19 20:45:37] Nooby : lol real french wine and good one dudes!
