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.

[2017-02-22 09:34:07] paper : also, the whole barely ever sleeping when shit is getting real part [2017-02-22 09:34:17] BarefootFlash : Oh dude, for realz [2017-02-22 09:34:26] BarefootFlash : mos def [2017-02-22 09:34:35] paper : BarefootFlash: yeah, when price levels out so that it doesn't just crash, basically. it can go on for days or longer [2017-02-22 09:34:49] BarefootFlash : Why do you like that? [2017-02-22 09:35:34] JoMamustani : I can't stay all day looking at stuff, my brain cirtuits will fry, I simply look at the pattern and make a prediction, put a stop loss and take profit limits and be done with it [2017-02-22 09:35:34] paper : BarefootFlash: b/c it's necessary. you're not gonna go up more than a few hundred bucks or so w/o taking a breather first [2017-02-22 09:36:05] paper : otherwise we'd just be pumping and dumping all the time and there would never be a 10kusd btc [2017-02-22 09:36:09] BarefootFlash : paper: Ah, for the break? [2017-02-22 09:36:23] BarefootFlash : Ah yeah, of course [2017-02-22 09:36:36] BarefootFlash : So we can (maybe) actually start using it more [2017-02-22 09:36:37] paper : do you mean break like "rest" or break like "breakout"? [2017-02-22 09:36:51] BarefootFlash : Oh dang, yeah, haha, rest [2017-02-22 09:37:46] paper : yeah, the rest is consolidating. sometimes it can be in a broad range after a big move up or down, but it's generally just the price bouncing around in a range before resuming the trend. in this case, resuming the bull trend ofc [2017-02-22 09:38:29] BarefootFlash : Ahh, ok [2017-02-22 09:38:36] paper : so in a nutshell, consolidation is what prevents crashing and allows for sky-high prices [2017-02-22 09:39:00] BarefootFlash : So basically the horizontal market, right? [2017-02-22 09:39:25] paper : yeah. you're looking at it right now :) [2017-02-22 09:39:32] BarefootFlash : Sweet [2017-02-22 09:39:42] BarefootFlash : That all makes sense, thanks [2017-02-22 09:40:13] paper : np [2017-02-22 09:41:25] JoMamustani : paper: so is it possible to have a stop market and take profit limit on the same order? [2017-02-22 09:42:14] BarefootFlash : JoMamustani: Make sure to do stop limits, not stop markets [2017-02-22 09:42:37] JoMamustani : In other words, I open a position, then add a take profit and stop limits to it? [2017-02-22 09:42:40] BarefootFlash : You can set both at the same time [2017-02-22 09:42:47] paper : not that i know of. i'm new to this specific exchange. i do things separately but i can see how it would be beneficial to tie things all into an order so the system treats's it as order-specific [2017-02-22 09:43:13] BarefootFlash : As far as I can tell, you have to put them in separately [2017-02-22 09:43:30] BarefootFlash : But as long as the contract size matches, it shouldn't matter [2017-02-22 09:44:25] JoMamustani : right [2017-02-22 09:44:34] JoMamustani : okay I guess still need to learn [2017-02-22 09:44:34] paper : this exchange is unlike any i've used yet and is more complex than most, too. it can take a while to learn the nuances of an exchange [2017-02-22 09:45:01] JoMamustani : Yeah it is complex, but the 100x leverage is very enticing [2017-02-22 09:45:31] BarefootFlash : Also there's not a lot of the conveniences of say a stock exchange, but I've found some work arounds that act pretty similarly [2017-02-22 09:45:52] paper : i've never used a derivatives exchange that has its traders impact the price [2017-02-22 09:46:13] BarefootFlash : What do you mean? [2017-02-22 09:46:21] BarefootFlash : trading fees? [2017-02-22 09:46:29] paper : (the other type is called CDF) [2017-02-22 09:47:26] paper : no, some exchanges allow you to simply speculate on the value of an asset w/o the actual asset being traded at all there to any extent [2017-02-22 09:47:44] BarefootFlash : Hm, ok [2017-02-22 09:47:50] JoMamustani : mkay [2017-02-22 09:47:56] paper : so, for example, if you dumped 20 million btc, it wouldn't cause a liquidity spike. each coin would sell for same price [2017-02-22 09:48:07] BarefootFlash : Ohhhh, ko [2017-02-22 09:48:10] BarefootFlash : I can see that [2017-02-22 09:48:21] BarefootFlash : Right, I can see the difference dthere [2017-02-22 09:48:51] elmorte : paper: then who would be the counter party? [2017-02-22 09:48:53] JoMamustani : Isn't that because the market capitalization for BTC is not as large as forex? So naturally whales have a greater impact on the prices? [2017-02-22 09:49:45] BarefootFlash : I would imagine something to do with the fact that btc has value because of its backers. Normal fiat has value because of the country that backs it. [2017-02-22 09:49:55] BarefootFlash : backers/holders [2017-02-22 09:50:10] Phoenix.Ritt : paper: cfd [2017-02-22 09:51:06] BarefootFlash : Contract for Difference, interesting [2017-02-22 09:51:10] paper : elmorte: i'm not an expert in cfd's (thx phoenix) by any means but the exchanges have liquidity providers and of course charge fees. not sure on their business model. [2017-02-22 09:51:48] elmorte : ok [2017-02-22 09:52:20] paper : for example, btcc is supposedly a liquidity provider for simplefx and thus the price is pretty similar. just like how the price here is similar to the kaijun (sp?) index exchanges [2017-02-22 09:52:52] paper : but yeah, i'm no expert, just sharing that w/ you [2017-02-22 09:54:42] JoMamustani : I guess at 100x leverage there is not need for a stop loss limit, because the margin is so small, correct me if I'm wrong [2017-02-22 09:54:58] paper : i'm not even too astute on how that index affects price here tho tbh [2017-02-22 09:55:25] paper : i mean, we can affect the price, unlike on cfd's...yet there is also some index used, so wth [2017-02-22 09:55:27] BarefootFlash : JoMamustani: You might still. I bet it helps some people [2017-02-22 09:56:12] BarefootFlash : For example, if you're in profit, but think it might go further, just in case it doesn't, you could set a stop loss to exit the position while still in profit [2017-02-22 09:56:15] JoMamustani : BarefootFlash: its just that at 100x leverage with the volatility of BTC, a wrong turn and you get liquiedated very quickly [2017-02-22 09:56:41] JoMamustani : BarefootFlash: True dat [2017-02-22 09:56:58] ross : Make Bitcoin great again [2017-02-22 09:57:31] BarefootFlash : I haven't touched 100x yet though. Maybe after I get out of this short, I might try 100x with some super small size contracts, just to see how it goes [2017-02-22 09:57:34] paper : i'm trading here and on simplefx at the same time and it's like two different worlds [2017-02-22 09:57:44] BarefootFlash : paper: I bet [2017-02-22 09:57:57] BarefootFlash : I'm on sfx too, but haven't really used it [2017-02-22 09:57:59] paper : and two different currencies even [2017-02-22 09:58:09] BarefootFlash : What're you trading there? [2017-02-22 09:59:28] paper : b/c since the price of btc on there is tied to btcc, you're dealing w/ the cn prices that are disconnected from the outside world [2017-02-22 09:59:44] JoMamustani : paper: yeah, simplefx is easier, but they calculate thing very differently [2017-02-22 10:00:03] BarefootFlash : Ah [2017-02-22 10:01:42] paper : JoMamustani: this and that have their strong points. for sure. this exchange is more badass, but i could live w/o the paranoia of liquidity spikes [2017-02-22 10:01:55] JoMamustani : Just have to learn more, I think I will go with a really small amount of money as a trial run [2017-02-22 10:02:08] paper : if i sell 100 btc, i don't want the price to move a noticeable amount [2017-02-22 10:02:12] paper : for example [2017-02-22 10:02:44] BarefootFlash : JoMamustani: Yes, do that [2017-02-22 10:03:27] JoMamustani : paper: go with less leverage I guess [2017-02-22 10:03:29] paper : i lost 16 btc here yesterday just from stopping out at a higher price than my buy price [2017-02-22 10:03:38] paper : doesn't happen on cfd's [2017-02-22 10:03:50] BarefootFlash : Oh crap [2017-02-22 10:04:29] JoMamustani : 10x leverage for XBT is standard [2017-02-22 10:04:41] JoMamustani : 100x for XBT is living on the edge [2017-02-22 10:04:42] paper : i'm 10x
