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.

You have access to more than 50 million trollbox posts. This is more than 7 gigabyte of data hosted on a $5 server so please be patient or consider a donation

[2017-04-17 13:15:59] aguia7 : Is this laterality going to end, returning to 1240? Or will it fall to 1120? http://www.tradingview.com/x/DLKUzNA6

[2017-04-17 13:24:39] aguia7 : Apocalyptic: yes, too. Yes too. It's that expectation, that you make many points after breaking that laterality.
[2017-04-17 13:28:30] BitMEX_John : alejandromasari: it does currently?
[2017-04-17 13:30:41] sleger : maybe he needs to upgrade his brain to work with other cryptocurrencies ?
[2017-04-17 13:40:07] aguia7 : If it were possible, I'd better find the assets, gold, silver, and oil here. Better than some altcoins where there is no price logic, only volume.

[2017-04-17 14:28:32] rapidtrades : done deal

[2017-04-17 14:30:11] rapidtrades : prohashing down to 0.4%, DDOSed by segwit mafia??????
[2017-04-17 14:31:46] sleger : you shorted at 4, then said 8 was the top, never see 10, then say you would stop yourself at 10, then it went to 12, then back to 10, when i said pump soon, couple of hours later back above 12... maybe you may be right this ONE time ? broken clock right twice a day after all
[2017-04-17 14:32:08] rapidtrades : w/e loser
[2017-04-17 14:32:59] rapidtrades : I don't have to justify my trades to u, suck it

[2017-04-17 14:33:34] sleger : i didnt ask you to justify being down over 50% for months
[2017-04-17 14:33:49] sleger : way over that
[2017-04-17 14:34:05] sleger : just reminding others should they be tempted to listen to you
[2017-04-17 14:34:54] rapidtrades : i just said they should buy LTC
[2017-04-17 14:35:03] sleger : you did not mean it
[2017-04-17 14:35:05] rapidtrades : before segwit activates
[2017-04-17 14:35:11] frog : sleger: do you think segwit get 75% this period?
[2017-04-17 14:35:11] rapidtrades : i really mean it
[2017-04-17 14:35:37] sleger : frog: how would i know, everything is possible, miners play games, you just have to trade along
[2017-04-17 14:36:27] rapidtrades : tnx for that useless advice
[2017-04-17 14:36:41] rapidtrades : guess its better then sell ripple before it goes up 150%
[2017-04-17 14:37:09] Actualiteit : ltc gonna go above 1k in a week m80s
[2017-04-17 14:37:22] sleger : 24 hours later i made a fat profit @rapidtrades
[2017-04-17 14:37:27] sleger : that's called smart entry
[2017-04-17 14:37:35] sleger : i knew you wouldnt understand
[2017-04-17 14:38:11] rapidtrades : ur just taking on fat tailed risk
[2017-04-17 14:38:25] rapidtrades : same with ur okc arb that luckily worked
[2017-04-17 14:38:29] sleger : you dont get it, its ok, i didnt take any risk, i had limited loss
[2017-04-17 14:38:57] sleger : okc you still dont understand either, there is 10x (even 20x) leverage, that made the risk VERY small compared to the upside
[2017-04-17 14:39:16] rapidtrades : but u later admitted that ur leverage was <10/1
[2017-04-17 14:39:35] rapidtrades : there was +200 discount there at one point
[2017-04-17 14:39:40] sleger : yes i kno
[2017-04-17 14:39:47] sleger : who wouldnt take that deal....
[2017-04-17 14:39:56] rapidtrades : it would've liquidated everyone but the lowest leveraged ppl
[2017-04-17 14:40:08] sleger : you can reenter at 200$ discount
[2017-04-17 14:40:16] sleger : being liquidated doesnt cost you that much
[2017-04-17 14:40:37] rapidtrades : but then its not an arb is it
[2017-04-17 14:40:45] rapidtrades : cos u run the risk of price running away from u
[2017-04-17 14:40:47] sleger : it is not a pure arb
[2017-04-17 14:40:55] sleger : almost nothing is
[2017-04-17 14:41:00] rapidtrades : so again u take fat tailed risk without realizing it
[2017-04-17 14:41:15] sleger : i understand much better than you what im doing
[2017-04-17 14:41:28] sleger : you're just throwing names without knowing
[2017-04-17 14:41:37] sleger : tail risk is like selling a call
[2017-04-17 14:41:44] sleger : my loss was limited
[2017-04-17 14:41:53] sleger : i knew what it was
[2017-04-17 14:42:31] rapidtrades : no the risk is price liquidation u and then continuing up before u can re-enter
[2017-04-17 14:43:11] sleger : then i lose the collateral associated to that trade only, that is the worst case
[2017-04-17 14:43:13] rapidtrades : thats a fat tailed risk cos gains from arbs are small but if one leg goes against u, u lose big
[2017-04-17 14:43:27] rapidtrades : U SHORT WOULD BE STILL OPEN BRA
[2017-04-17 14:43:34] rapidtrades : cmon don't act daft
[2017-04-17 14:43:58] sleger : why couldnt i reenter
[2017-04-17 14:44:07] sleger : how much would i lose on my short
[2017-04-17 14:44:12] sleger : all that is known
[2017-04-17 14:44:33] sleger : tail risk is shorting an altcoin that can pump a lot with cross margin
[2017-04-17 14:44:36] rapidtrades : if its not on 100% of the time its not ab arb
[2017-04-17 14:44:38] sleger : shorting ltc for example
[2017-04-17 14:44:44] Yuppie : guys...there is a lot of good input in this trollbox in general. people have Different styles of trading, best feedback is PnL
[2017-04-17 14:44:52] sleger : ^ +1
[2017-04-17 14:45:06] sleger : I win
[2017-04-17 14:45:14] rapidtrades : and u run the risk of that 1% cases worst case scenario where u lose everything u made on 50 arbs
[2017-04-17 14:45:33] sleger : I made more on that arb than I could have lost
[2017-04-17 14:45:45] rapidtrades : you'll wake up one day with a huge loss and think it was 'bad luck'
[2017-04-17 14:45:59] rapidtrades : without realizing you took fat tailed risks all these years
[2017-04-17 14:46:13] sleger : I have lost on some trades, I did not think that, but overall i rarely lose
[2017-04-17 14:46:30] sleger : and given how many trades I do, that would already have happened more than once
[2017-04-17 14:46:53] rapidtrades : 'rarely lose' is a red flag for taking too much fat tailed risk
[2017-04-17 14:47:29] rapidtrades : guys if segwit activates wont LTC go to the moon?
[2017-04-17 14:47:48] rapidtrades : I don't see why more ppl are not buying this cheap
[2017-04-17 14:51:15] sleger : you seem to think that i just double down randomly on losing trades, this is not true. I made a few good back and forth on zec recently (which i didnt talk about because i dont talk about everything i do) but that last one was bad (yes 1 out of 5 call me a terrible trader) : ZECM17 -1 1.00 ZEC 0.053000 0.059290 yet i didnt double down, and will probably close it soon if i dont have any new signal
[2017-04-17 14:52:08] sleger : I enter based on short term signals, if it goes against and i have new signals i might enter more, but if it reverses then i would exit (regardless if at a loss or not)

[2017-04-17 14:56:14] sleger : rapidtrades: yes, logic is the following, if you have a signal at t0 and another later at t1, should you not enter at t1 because you have entered at t0 ? You can see it as running another strategy in a separate subaccount that also trades 1, but only when the first has already a 1 position
[2017-04-17 14:57:22] sleger : usually you would increase your threshold value for that second one, and you wouldnt increase to infinity of course, maybe ~5 max, and have a limited loss per instrument
[2017-04-17 14:57:26] rapidtrades : I understand the logic just saying never saw adding work in practice
[2017-04-17 14:58:03] rapidtrades : if u have backtested that adding on signals t1, t2 etc works then its ok
[2017-04-17 14:58:30] rapidtrades : if u haven't then ur prolly taking on fat tailed risk again
[2017-04-17 14:58:33] sleger : it doesnt add but it brings the same pnl/volume
[2017-04-17 14:58:42] sleger : what it does though is smooth the pnl
[2017-04-17 14:59:19] sleger : because it gives more slightly uncorrelated trades, so you "average" (large numbers law) your expected return quicker
[2017-04-17 15:00:07] rapidtrades : they're not uncorrelated though...if the first one moves against it, tells you're wrong
[2017-04-17 15:00:09] sleger : its better to run 2 strategies, one that trades 1 at t1, one that trades 1 at t2 THAN just one that trades 2 at either time, not for expected pnl, but for sharpe

[2017-04-17 15:28:11] robit : BitMEX_John: remvoving it from the index would cause a large shift in the index in favor of shorts and against longs. Keep it in until the contracts expire in june

[2017-04-17 15:38:24] blaat : shit.. too late
[2017-04-17 15:38:31] BitMEX_Greg : Because they are no longer a functioning exchange as they have decided to block all fiat deposits

[2017-04-17 15:39:09] Wonker : BitMEX_Greg: What is new index calc?
[2017-04-17 15:39:24] BitMEX_Sam : Please read the announcement: new Index calc is equal to `.XBT` for the time being.
[2017-04-17 15:39:27] BitMEX_Greg : Yes as GDAX is currently temporarily weighted to 0
[2017-04-17 15:39:32] Yuppie : Kind of hard to make a reliable Index with so many exchange issues happening all the time
[2017-04-17 15:39:32] BitMEX_Sam : We will be reinstating GDAX shortly after we implement new outlier protections.
[2017-04-17 15:39:40] BitMEX_Sam : Yuppie: Yes: that makes two in two days.
[2017-04-17 15:39:45] BitMEX_Greg : so the new index will consist of Bitstamp and OkCoin USD
