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

[2017-04-29 03:40:09] Trade : like a huge online gambling platform?
[2017-04-29 03:40:21] frog : not exactly
[2017-04-29 03:40:25] aethlios : that btc pump was rally weak, chat now has 1032 users with price 1335, very bearish.
[2017-04-29 03:40:29] Trade : trying to grasp ;)
[2017-04-29 03:40:57] frog : will people buy iphone 9 or S9? for example, apple may pay for gnosis opinion
[2017-04-29 03:41:20] frog : prefer 5" screen or 6" screen
[2017-04-29 03:41:50] frog : cheaper than focus groups... etc
[2017-04-29 03:43:29] Trade : I guess that service has a large market somehow?
[2017-04-29 03:43:37] frog : little different answers question what do you think most people would prefer rather than what do you prefer
[2017-04-29 03:43:45] frog : potentailly bery useful
[2017-04-29 03:44:02] frog : augur does the same but not as hyped
[2017-04-29 03:44:40] frog : can get almost instant market feedback at low cost
[2017-04-29 03:45:33] frog : but easy to imitate and there may end up being a lot of players in the space
[2017-04-29 03:47:48] Trade : thx
[2017-04-29 03:48:30] biz : someone holding GNO down
[2017-04-29 03:48:32] frog : also shows value of blockchain separate from mining and coin as store of value
[2017-04-29 03:48:38] biz : 12 minutes for them to remove the wall or else no new rekts
[2017-04-29 03:49:45] Trade : maybe better to view BTC as store of value vs. ETH/GNO as ICO company investments? Shares have value
[2017-04-29 03:50:22] Trade : I know currency may not be best descrip for BTC with scaling issues. Digital Gold better descrip
[2017-04-29 03:50:38] frog : Trade: yes but Im not sure that the price of the coin's will reflect the value
[2017-04-29 03:51:24] frog : xrp is token for transaction security, ripple removed there xrp wallet
[2017-04-29 03:52:27] frog : they also have boatloads of them [xrp] not available
[2017-04-29 03:53:36] frog : imo btc and eth have best potential and ltc if charlie call pull something off may be good as well
[2017-04-29 03:55:39] frog : likely btc end up as store of value and alts useful for other things like small transactions, payment systems etc
[2017-04-29 04:01:33] wiz : no asks in LTC orderbook at all
[2017-04-29 04:01:51] REKT : Liquidated short on `LTCM17`: buy 784 @ 0.01235
[2017-04-29 04:02:47] frog : liquidation in progress for ltc short
[2017-04-29 04:04:26] Trade : I wanted to make some LTC trades here, but I can't make the #'s work
[2017-04-29 04:05:08] frog : Trade: it pretty much impossible to trade here
[2017-04-29 04:05:57] Trade : XBTUSD is ok
[2017-04-29 04:06:31] frog : BTC is fine tracks the index and has good liquidity
[2017-04-29 04:08:34] frog : it seems the mm's bots for ltc are ultra conservative
[2017-04-29 04:08:57] rugu : because of the high spread
[2017-04-29 04:09:47] frog : very high for any decent volume, the 7 day was often over 5% if you wanted more than 20 contracts
[2017-04-29 04:11:54] frog : if bitmex had better liquidity and tighter spreads for ltc there would be a lot more trading volume
[2017-04-29 04:12:25] rugu : thats a very chicken and the egg type problem
[2017-04-29 04:13:38] frog : yes... very chikun like
[2017-04-29 04:14:45] frog : maybe opportunity for mm to corner the ltc market here
[2017-04-29 04:15:23] Trade : Are we talking about Traders here running MM Bots or BitMEX running their own?
[2017-04-29 04:15:34] frog : anyone
[2017-04-29 04:15:54] Trade : any conflict for an Exchange to run their own MM Bots?
[2017-04-29 04:15:59] frog : i know i would have done a lot more trades and i'm pretty sure other would as well
[2017-04-29 04:16:41] frog : bitmex don't run their own and yes potential for stop hunting etc
[2017-04-29 04:17:30] Trade : always felt OKC washed out everyones stops at times

[2017-04-29 04:32:14] frog : Trade: same with me
[2017-04-29 04:32:33] frog : stops are like guaranteed loss points
[2017-04-29 04:32:49] frog : in volatile markets anywat
[2017-04-29 04:33:25] frog : isolated margin better......
[2017-04-29 04:38:15] DanLar75 : mm bots are cool, as long as they act according to the same contract on both sides.

[2017-04-29 06:50:25] rugu : i keep getting confused, which one to use for leverage
[2017-04-29 06:50:31] mark121 : either
[2017-04-29 06:50:41] mark121 : cross is basically automatic leverage
[2017-04-29 06:50:56] mark121 : and so if u use ur whole avail amt
[2017-04-29 06:51:02] mark121 : ul be max leverage
[2017-04-29 06:51:09] rugu : ya understood that part but
[2017-04-29 06:51:21] rugu : which one seems better, I forgot to put stop losses at times :D
[2017-04-29 06:51:35] mark121 : that question doesnt make sense rly

[2017-04-29 06:53:01] mark121 : rugu it comes down to a factor of your confidence and willingness to endure wrongside
[2017-04-29 06:53:09] mark121 : and amt of positions
[2017-04-29 06:53:12] atlanta : What do you mean by 2k. .035?

[2017-04-29 06:54:12] rugu : understood the whole, it depends on your confidence
[2017-04-29 06:54:23] rugu : but ballpark ?
[2017-04-29 06:54:38] mark121 : when i say amt of positions i mean amount of diff contracts
[2017-04-29 06:54:57] mark121 : so lets say u are long BTC and shorted ripple
[2017-04-29 06:55:11] mark121 : ur long in btc is up and in profit
[2017-04-29 06:55:53] mark121 : but barely, so its green lets say 10% roe if u closed at mark
[2017-04-29 06:55:55] rugu : wont all of this eventually get reflected in margin used and net leverage used?
[2017-04-29 06:56:17] mark121 : now ur thinking is a massive rally for btc
[2017-04-29 06:56:40] mark121 : now. onto your xrp trade
[2017-04-29 06:57:07] mark121 : u open it with lets say .5 btc left in available (after opening the xrp)
[2017-04-29 06:57:21] mark121 : and ur using cross
[2017-04-29 06:57:57] rugu : thats like 90-100% margin used
[2017-04-29 06:57:58] mark121 : now.. the effective leverage of ur btc trade shud be considerablylow
[2017-04-29 06:58:27] mark121 : then u notice ur xrp short is gettin away from u
[2017-04-29 06:58:31] mark121 : but u hold
[2017-04-29 06:58:43] mark121 : u got available funds (so it seems safe)
[2017-04-29 06:59:07] mark121 : as it gets away ur available funds get used up quite quick if the move is strong
[2017-04-29 06:59:31] mark121 : all of a sudden btc temp dips to 0% profit )
[2017-04-29 06:59:44] rugu : *panic*
[2017-04-29 06:59:52] mark121 : ^ ensues
[2017-04-29 06:59:53] podizzle3k : what is this rekt porn
[2017-04-29 07:00:14] mark121 : the problem now lies
[2017-04-29 07:00:21] mark121 : in tyrin to free available funding
[2017-04-29 07:00:38] rugu : yup yup, cut the loss!
[2017-04-29 07:00:41] mark121 : as u kno BTC will recover and fly (or as close to knowin as possible) u consider ir ur main trade
[2017-04-29 07:00:56] rugu : basically what available balance would you keep minimum
[2017-04-29 07:01:11] mark121 : but trimin that xrp losing position is terribly destructive
[2017-04-29 07:01:12] mark121 : and costly
[2017-04-29 07:01:32] rugu : like a -20% roe
[2017-04-29 07:01:48] mark121 : it skind of nothin at first.. barely anything... all of a sudden TSUNAMI
[2017-04-29 07:02:21] mark121 : so cross can be difficult to manage in situations that this story is hypotehtically in now
[2017-04-29 07:02:44] rugu : without stop losses, yes
[2017-04-29 07:02:57] mark121 : forget stop losses
[2017-04-29 07:02:59] mark121 : for the moment
[2017-04-29 07:03:17] mark121 : or even with one, u may not get a fill
[2017-04-29 07:03:36] mark121 : alow me to continue
[2017-04-29 07:03:49] rugu : ok
[2017-04-29 07:03:49] mark121 : .. its hard to kno what the right move is if ur in that spot
[2017-04-29 07:04:09] atlanta : Rugu try to play around with the calcilator
[2017-04-29 07:04:11] atlanta : calculator*
[2017-04-29 07:04:14] mark121 : all of a sudden ur profitable btc trade is tetering between profit and loss
[2017-04-29 07:04:25] mark121 : and uve noticed ur liquidation price is MUCH higher
[2017-04-29 07:04:37] mark121 : its like a cascading affect
[2017-04-29 07:04:48] podizzle3k : i already finished
[2017-04-29 07:05:00] mark121 : if u close ur btc trade
[2017-04-29 07:05:23] podizzle3k : i was done at TSUNAMI
[2017-04-29 07:05:33] mark121 : great, u got margin at nearly 1:1 rate (assuming u trim at BE price)
[2017-04-29 07:06:03] mark121 : but really uve now putyourself in danger of losing everything in a trade on an alt that u really only wanted to dabble in
[2017-04-29 07:06:21] mark121 : in other words
[2017-04-29 07:06:50] rugu : im screwed
[2017-04-29 07:06:51] mark121 : it can requires on-the-fly analysis of both assets and this is difficult even for skilled trades if they are caught
[2017-04-29 07:06:55] mark121 : that too
[2017-04-29 07:07:10] mark121 : now rewind a bit
[2017-04-29 07:07:16] mark121 : if u do it other way
[2017-04-29 07:07:32] mark121 : the probem is the diminishing returns on trimming the xrp position
[2017-04-29 07:07:50] rugu : cut part of the position to lower your liquidation price?
[2017-04-29 07:08:14] mark121 : (not selling btc but buying the xrp)
[2017-04-29 07:08:22] mark121 : sry i shud have clarified
[2017-04-29 07:08:38] rugu : but xrp also in losses

[2017-04-29 07:12:11] rugu : like my xrp position just got
[2017-04-29 07:12:13] rugu : in issues
[2017-04-29 07:12:24] mark121 : the pt of my rambling is that
[2017-04-29 07:12:40] rugu : i was at +100% roe when you started, and now -15%
[2017-04-29 07:13:06] mark121 : cross has unlimited risk compared to isolated
[2017-04-29 07:13:14] mark121 : ofc
[2017-04-29 07:13:25] mark121 : but rly its much more deceiving
[2017-04-29 07:13:30] rugu : just lost 115% roe during this :(
[2017-04-29 07:13:35] mark121 : :(
[2017-04-29 07:13:44] mark121 : the problem is
[2017-04-29 07:13:53] mark121 : if ur holding profit for more profit basically
[2017-04-29 07:14:07] mark121 : it seems "wow i got so much avail funds"
[2017-04-29 07:14:34] mark121 : so u open some other trade, not because it sa good trade
[2017-04-29 07:14:39] rugu : i think if I hit over 80% roe, i will just cash out and not be greedy
[2017-04-29 07:15:05] atlanta : ETH taking a hit
[2017-04-29 07:15:24] mark121 : but because ur bored, greedy, emotional and most likely feel like ur here and trading so u shud trade
[2017-04-29 07:15:56] mark121 : u make bogus moves, that epxoentially increase ur risk
[2017-04-29 07:16:24] rugu : so when do you decide to cash out your trades
[2017-04-29 07:16:31] mdsmm : if you don't know what you're doing, just don't take high leverage. And you can always keep^the currency until it is i profit.. even if it takes a few days. Have a bit of patience. Just don't buy overbought coins, and sell in time. Unless you're a long term guy
[2017-04-29 07:16:45] mark121 : it may sound like im talking obviousness but ive in my life (and ive met prob thousands..)
[2017-04-29 07:17:18] rugu : my work can get very intense durng the day, so I cant monitor my positions well
[2017-04-29 07:17:34] mark121 : met at best , 1 person that actually didnt require these things that all good traders and lifelong traders whole dear to happen personally to him in order to understand the harsh reality behind advice u can find easily

[2017-04-29 07:18:09] mark121 : in others words, nearly every1 needs to walk the walk
[2017-04-29 07:18:24] mark121 : even if they can repeat the best rules or strategies from memory

[2017-04-29 07:24:41] mark121 : but literally i made a 5btc buy on polo
[2017-04-29 07:24:41] rugu : so 60% margin at 7.6x not bad enough to start them trimming
