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.

[2015-11-10 19:33:01] kendang : what does that mean "remarketing"ß [2015-11-10 19:33:28] SnackyCoins : that is where an exchange allows other exchanges to fill orders from it's book [2015-11-10 19:33:53] kendang : SnackyCoins: i see thanks [2015-11-10 19:34:29] kendang : someone is screwing a lady in the apartment above me. i am jealous. it's been a long time ...

I'm buying a bit of XBTZ15 [2015-11-10 20:35:56] Murch : Now 2300 is aids [2015-11-10 20:36:31] BitMEX_Sam : micmix: What's up? [2015-11-10 20:36:49] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : Murch: I noticed that. This is super choppy though. Idk where it's going [2015-11-10 20:37:16] Murch : IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb: Usually this direct sideways after a drop means more of a drop. I'm still short on this crap. [2015-11-10 20:37:35] kendang : Murch: me too [2015-11-10 20:37:57] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : Murch: I'm guessing short too but OKCoin seems to want to do some woodchopping and since they shook out the longers it might be the shorters turn next [2015-11-10 20:38:13] micmix : BitMEX_Sam: Hi Sam! The cancel API is a bit inconsistent. When I cancel multiple orders and those orders are already filled, I get 2xx and error object with a message saying that the order was not found, already filled or already canceled [2015-11-10 20:39:02] Murch : IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb: Yeah I guess I just see short as a better chance of success right now the way the price is behaving. [2015-11-10 20:39:18] micmix : When I cancel one order that's already canceled or filled I get 404 and a message saying simply not found. [2015-11-10 20:39:21] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : Murch: I think you're very likely right about that [2015-11-10 20:39:59] Murch : Haha thanks, I hope so. :P [2015-11-10 20:40:02] micmix : I spent 30 minutes trying to figure out why it says not found, thinking I'm submitting wrong order id :-) [2015-11-10 20:41:14] micmix : and related to that, sorry for pounding the API with cancel request for an hour :-) [2015-11-10 20:47:00] BitMEX_Sam : micmix: Right, the issue is that there isn't a code in the HTTP spec for a partial success [2015-11-10 20:47:20] BitMEX_Sam : We return a 200 if at least one of the cancel requests actually worked [2015-11-10 20:48:07] BitMEX_Sam : There's `207` but that's WebDAV... hoping someday they extend the spec [2015-11-10 20:49:17] micmix : Yes, I understand, what tripped me up is a different error message. For single cancel: { error: { message: 'Not Found', name: 'HTTPError' } } [2015-11-10 20:49:37] btctrader : hello everyone [2015-11-10 20:49:47] kendang : btctrader: hello [2015-11-10 20:50:09] btctrader : is there an equation how to calulate liquadtion price of a x100 position [2015-11-10 20:50:10] btctrader : ? [2015-11-10 20:50:41] justinlooking : btctrader: there is calculator in order controls, if you press order options dropdown [2015-11-10 20:50:42] Murch : I think you just move down .5% from your entry price right? [2015-11-10 20:50:42] micmix : For multiple cancels it says something like Not found, already canceled or filled (don't have it right now) [2015-11-10 20:50:56] BitMEX_Sam : micmix: Sure, but if all of the multiple cancels fail, it should return a normal 404 [2015-11-10 20:51:02] BitMEX_Sam : If it's not doing that, then there's a bug [2015-11-10 20:52:51] btctrader : but i wanna use only 20% of my money [2015-11-10 20:53:03] btctrader : sell cost = 20% [2015-11-10 20:53:19] btctrader : how do i calulate the exact liquadation price [2015-11-10 20:54:45] micmix : I think it does but I would like to see something that allows to distinguish between 404 not found bc there is no such order id and not found bc the order is already filled or canceled, something like additional status in the error object that you return [2015-11-10 20:55:33] micmix : Simple HTTP status like 404 or 200 just doesn't provide enough info [2015-11-10 20:56:14] justinlooking : exchange suspended? [2015-11-10 20:56:15] justinlooking : wut! [2015-11-10 20:56:37] kendang : WTF? [2015-11-10 20:56:47] kendang : BitMEX_Sam: ???

[2015-11-10 21:01:11] cekseh : This is far less unplesant than okcoin cutting off western traders and then pumping the price 50$ [2015-11-10 21:01:15] TschavaTschigger : this ain't wallstreet guys... relax [2015-11-10 21:01:22] cekseh : Then cutting off westerners again and dumping it 40$ a day later [2015-11-10 21:01:26] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : cekseh: True but I'm still probably about to get screwed [2015-11-10 21:01:41] BitMEX_Sam : We are back [2015-11-10 21:01:57] kendang : BitMEX_Sam: BIG thumbs up!

[2015-11-10 21:02:24] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : BitMEX_Sam: Thanks for the quick fix but what about not being able to close during that time? [2015-11-10 21:02:26] justinlooking : autopsy please! [2015-11-10 21:02:33] justinlooking : max gore ;) [2015-11-10 21:02:34] BitMEX_Sam : IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb: No trades are allowed to execute when an audit fails [2015-11-10 21:02:44] TschavaTschigger : makes sense [2015-11-10 21:02:49] BitMEX_Sam : This is our way of ensuring that an inconsistency in the system does not create collateral damage [2015-11-10 21:02:59] Murch : quite the bounce there [2015-11-10 21:03:00] BitMEX_Sam : We will be back with more information on what caused it shortly [2015-11-10 21:03:10] cekseh : Pretty lucky the price was approximately the same before and after [2015-11-10 21:03:11] TschavaTschigger : thumbs up for smart adminz!!

I would have had 0.1 BTC in profit if I had been able to close and the bounce combined with going offline put me at a loss [2015-11-10 21:04:05] BitMEX_Sam : IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb: Send an email to support@bitmex.com and we will go through the history [2015-11-10 21:04:08] BitMEX_Sam : Same for you AudibleScience [2015-11-10 21:04:12] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : BitMEX_Sam: Ok thanks [2015-11-10 21:04:20] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : I took a screenshot of when I was trying to close [2015-11-10 21:04:26] BitMEX_Sam : Good - that'll help [2015-11-10 21:04:47] BitMEX_Sam : We will go through the price history around the suspension, it is easy to tell exactly how much PNL there would have been [2015-11-10 21:05:11] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : BitMEX_Sam: Ok great. Thanks for being on top of things. I'll send that email [2015-11-10 21:05:15] kogroken : Well, at least this is better than sudden 1 CNY litecoins like somewhere else.

[2015-11-10 21:06:23] irbbqu : I agree with sleger. [2015-11-10 21:06:46] sleger : otherwise here it is : I would have shorted 10k btc on the rebound I think, but the exchange was down... [2015-11-10 21:07:12] BitMEX_Sam : sleger: I agree with you in principle, we will handle these case-by-case [2015-11-10 21:07:36] BitMEX_Sam : It is a matter of whether or not we can trace actual loss to a trade disruption [2015-11-10 21:08:03] SnackyCoins : it was handled incredibly fast [2015-11-10 21:08:06] sleger : missed profit, trade loss, same thing [2015-11-10 21:08:31] SnackyCoins : bitcoin exchange downtime fixed faster than i could get a delivery sandwitch [2015-11-10 21:09:02] Teddy76 : sleger: virtual profit is nothing [2015-11-10 21:10:06] sleger : Teddy76: Thanks, but that is what I'm saying [2015-11-10 21:10:21] Teddy76 : Dont blame team for that [2015-11-10 21:10:55] sleger : Teddy76: I am not, read again [2015-11-10 21:12:50] cekseh : Don't mind teddy, hes a bit high. [2015-11-10 21:13:07] Teddy76 : NP [2015-11-10 21:13:16] SnackyCoins : bitcoin exchange operators are the only people in bitcoin that get less sleep than the traders [2015-11-10 21:13:45] sleger : they also make money on every single trade ;) [2015-11-10 21:13:55] SnackyCoins : yeah ;) [2015-11-10 21:13:57] Teddy76 : LOL [2015-11-10 21:14:00] micmix : BitMEX_Sam: regarding our earlier discussion about the cancel API, could you add order status when you return 404 bc the order is already canceled or filled, so I would get json like: { error: { message: 'Not Found', name: 'HTTPError', orderID: 'bd9c8e4a-b0b2-e9a6-0c22-9fafd41c5ed6', orderStatus: 'Canceled'} } [2015-11-10 21:14:29] BitMEX_Sam : Ah [2015-11-10 21:14:29] Teddy76 : sleger: agree with that [2015-11-10 21:14:32] BitMEX_Sam : micmix: That's fine to do, yes [2015-11-10 21:14:45] micmix : BitMEX_Sam: cool, would help a lot [2015-11-10 21:16:25] btctrader : bitmex_sam: is there an equation how to calulate liquadtion price of a x100 position? [2015-11-10 21:16:38] BitMEX_Sam : micmix: Actually, I'm interested in what your use case is, because you already should know the status through the websocket [2015-11-10 21:17:02] BitMEX_Sam : btctrader: Yes, if it's isolated 100x, a 0.5% move will put you into liquidation [2015-11-10 21:17:19] btctrader : but what if i use only 10% [2015-11-10 21:17:23] btctrader : of my funs [2015-11-10 21:17:23] BitMEX_Sam : See `Maintenance Margin` under https://www.bitmex.com/app/contract/XBT24H [2015-11-10 21:17:32] BitMEX_Sam : Then it is 10x that [2015-11-10 21:18:21] BitMEX_Sam : Actually more, sorry, because you will be putting up 10% margin, and at 0.5% you will be liquidated [2015-11-10 21:18:33] btctrader : so it's a 18 dollar move in the opposite direction? [2015-11-10 21:18:41] BitMEX_Sam : so you have 9.5% of wiggle room [2015-11-10 21:19:25] btctrader : oh ok thnx [2015-11-10 21:19:26] BitMEX_Sam : btctrader: Be sure to switch to cross margin in the Order Options [2015-11-10 21:19:48] btctrader : what does cross margin means [2015-11-10 21:20:05] BitMEX_Sam : It means that it uses your total account balance to finance the position [2015-11-10 21:20:17] BitMEX_Sam : Rather than assigning the minimum allowable amount and allowing liquidation [2015-11-10 21:20:23] btctrader : alright [2015-11-10 21:20:49] micmix : BitMEX_Sam: Yep, and in 99.99% cases I do. But I had websocket disconnected exactly at the right moment and it missed order status update. It's sounds very improbable but it can happen if you submit and cancel thousands and thousands of orders. [2015-11-10 21:20:54] BitMEX_Sam : Essentially we allow isolating an individual position, which lets you customize the leverage you want while limiting the possible loss [2015-11-10 21:21:14] BitMEX_Sam : micmix: Understood, but at that point wouldn't it make sense to just hit `GET /order`? [2015-11-10 21:23:15] micmix : BitMEX_Sam: Yep, but it's an extra API call and additional complexity. You pull up the order anyway when processing cancel, should be easy to add couple of fields to the returned json. BTW, you add order id to returned json in case of batch cancels but not in case of single cancel [2015-11-10 21:25:26] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : BitMEX_Sam: I sent an email to support. Thanks for your help [2015-11-10 21:26:05] micmix : BitMEX_Sam: I'm trying to save API calls everywhere I can, and extra roundtrip lag for GET /order before I re-submit quotes is unwanted [2015-11-10 21:27:07] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : Murch: Good call on holding your short. I thought that bounce was the end of it [2015-11-10 21:27:46] cekseh : Shits gettin real [2015-11-10 21:27:56] cekseh : finex wall gone [2015-11-10 21:28:06] gustavo7 : wreking some volume [2015-11-10 21:28:56] cekseh : goin deep [2015-11-10 21:29:00] cekseh : woo [2015-11-10 21:29:05] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : Wow [2015-11-10 21:29:09] Murch : IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb: haha thanks man, feeling pretty good bout this [2015-11-10 21:29:10] BitMEX_Sam : micmix: Internally we actually don't have access to that object to return it, we would have to make a separate request inside the API [2015-11-10 21:29:12] zanza : is this the floor guys ? [2015-11-10 21:29:27] gustavo7 : are these margin calls yet on finex? [2015-11-10 21:29:30] BitMEX_Sam : Anyway I work to make it more consistent [2015-11-10 21:29:34] BitMEX_Sam : will work* [2015-11-10 21:29:37] habibi : not yet [2015-11-10 21:29:55] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : Murch: You made the right call. I freaked out about the exchange freeze and tried to minimize my losses since I didn't know where this was going but now I wish I had held onto my position [2015-11-10 21:30:06] cekseh : trade your own account guys, don't do what someone else says just cause they say it [2015-11-10 21:30:08] micmix : BitMEX_Sam: interesting, you must check order status to know if the order is already canceled, so you should be able to return it [2015-11-10 21:30:24] BitMEX_Sam : micmix: It has to do with how the system is architected, doesn't matter much from your perspective [2015-11-10 21:30:34] BitMEX_Sam : Don't worry about it [2015-11-10 21:31:27] cekseh : people are buying this [2015-11-10 21:31:29] TschavaTschigger : yesss dumptime < 3 [2015-11-10 21:31:31] cekseh : derp derp [2015-11-10 21:31:51] gustavo7 : 2190 on okcoin [2015-11-10 21:32:48] cekseh : new lows okc [2015-11-10 21:33:46] Murch : Shit I covered there [2015-11-10 21:33:50] Murch : A little early I think :/ [2015-11-10 21:34:25] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : 213 BTC to 2300 on OKC. Wow [2015-11-10 21:34:27] Murch : That was good though. What a satisfying short LOL [2015-11-10 21:34:36] cekseh : indeed [2015-11-10 21:34:37] sleger : 20k btc of liq orders on 0kcoin quarterly [2015-11-10 21:35:03] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : sleger: Wow [2015-11-10 21:35:26] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : Murch: Your best trade yet perhaps? Way to go for sticking with it [2015-11-10 21:36:04] Murch : IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb: Haha, a very good one ROI% wise for sure :P Thanks dude feelsgoodman.jpg [2015-11-10 21:36:21] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : Murch: :) I'm trying the knife catching strategy now. Working great so far [2015-11-10 21:36:33] zanza : careful with your hands [2015-11-10 21:36:37] Murch : Yep, just bought in a bit [2015-11-10 21:36:39] floopfloop : where is the floor?

[2015-11-10 21:38:05] gustavo7 : i think double bottom at least [2015-11-10 21:38:10] Murch : I think it is possible that was the low [2015-11-10 21:38:26] floopfloop : $11 premium [2015-11-10 21:38:29] Murch : It depends on how far this shit bounces [2015-11-10 21:38:41] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : Murch: I'm thinking the same. That was a very strong bounce from BFX [2015-11-10 21:39:09] Murch : Covered, may buy back in lower [2015-11-10 21:39:28] JACOBcze : so [2015-11-10 21:39:30] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : Murch: Same same. Caught the knife by the handle fortunately [2015-11-10 21:39:41] JACOBcze : i just did my first trade [2015-11-10 21:39:45] JACOBcze : i made 0.005 [2015-11-10 21:39:46] Murch : IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb: good work us ;) [2015-11-10 21:39:56] JACOBcze : but my account shows i didnt make that and just shows me that im down the fee i payed [2015-11-10 21:39:59] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : Murch: :) [2015-11-10 21:40:03] JACOBcze : why is that, my wallet balance is fine [2015-11-10 21:40:19] sleger : JACOBcze: I took all your profit [2015-11-10 21:40:23] JACOBcze : D: [2015-11-10 21:40:27] TschavaTschigger : Murch: there is no low.. thats the beautiful thing about bitcoin :) [2015-11-10 21:40:30] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : sleger: lol [2015-11-10 21:40:35] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : TschavaTschigger: hahaha [2015-11-10 21:40:46] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : TschavaTschigger: 160 was a pretty convincing low for me [2015-11-10 21:40:58] Murch : fuck I just fat fingered half my order [2015-11-10 21:41:02] Murch : I am so pissed at myself [2015-11-10 21:41:21] zanza : lol [2015-11-10 21:41:31] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : Murch: Oh no [2015-11-10 21:41:37] floopfloop : Murch: yeah i just screwed up my order too [2015-11-10 21:42:32] Murch : meant to put it at 426 and it shifted to 509 while I was trying.. [2015-11-10 21:42:41] IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb : If this really bounces here that's some solid bullish divergence on the 15 and 30 min MACD, but I've said that a lot so I don't think it means much [2015-11-10 21:43:07] sleger : IChTj4OeMavRq6qeIyEb: a bullish crash then ... ?
