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.

[2015-12-26 19:37:12] rapidtrades : yeah China's dumping while west is sleeping
[2015-12-26 19:37:36] wurstgelee : this is a china dump....
[2015-12-26 19:37:48] rapidtrades : that's what I was saying, you can see by that thread that noone in the west is trading today
[2015-12-26 19:38:19] rapidtrades : weak yo, it's not even Christmas
[2015-12-26 19:38:36] wurstgelee : its still unusual that finex doesnt dump synchronously tho
[2015-12-26 19:38:51] rapidtrades : yeah I withdrew from okc just to be safe
[2015-12-26 19:38:53] zanza : https://bfxdata.com/sentiment/longshort.php
[2015-12-26 19:39:16] rapidtrades : smth feels off
[2015-12-26 19:39:41] wurstgelee : usually china premium was higher after china dumps, right now the opposite happens
[2015-12-26 19:39:44] wurstgelee : odd somehow
[2015-12-26 19:39:51] rapidtrades : like China knows smth we don't
[2015-12-26 19:40:23] wurstgelee : might be due tat "bitocin no currency etc blabla" news in china
[2015-12-26 19:40:29] wurstgelee : *to that
[2015-12-26 19:40:38] rapidtrades : or that mmm scam again
[2015-12-26 19:42:20] zanza : MMM scam cashing out? sub 200's?
[2015-12-26 19:42:49] wurstgelee : lol no
[2015-12-26 19:42:53] rapidtrades : idk man...yday I saw very strange buying on okc spot usd...like smone was cashing out
[2015-12-26 19:43:13] rapidtrades : we were $5 above market...now we're $8 below
[2015-12-26 19:43:23] rapidtrades : usd to usd, not cny
[2015-12-26 19:43:47] rapidtrades : that pattern would indicate cashing out BTC yday
[2015-12-26 19:44:47] dr.rock : we'll see, now would be a good time to start dumping again
[2015-12-26 19:48:46] rapidtrades : 348 BTC for hedging contract :)
[2015-12-26 19:48:57] rapidtrades : not a bad first day
[2015-12-26 19:59:20] habibi : on xbu rapidtrades?
[2015-12-26 20:04:42] zanza : rapidtrades: good volume, how much is finex per day swap rate? XBU is like .085% per day if you hold for 7 days
[2015-12-26 20:07:38] j8 : zanza: btc FRR is .0078 at the moment, so less than a tenth of that
[2015-12-26 20:09:56] gouda : what are the black trades?
[2015-12-26 20:11:39] wurstgelee : same price as previous
[2015-12-26 20:12:12] gouda : ah thanks
[2015-12-26 20:35:02] zanza : would a margin long/short on finxed be comparable to long/short position on XBU? (both "guaranteed settlement")
[2015-12-26 20:45:32] rapidtrades : zanza: hmmm
[2015-12-26 20:45:46] j8 : zanza: yeah, basically the same in practice.
[2015-12-26 20:46:21] rapidtrades : could have a small difference, depending on if u have deposited btc or usd in ur account
[2015-12-26 20:46:39] j8 : swap rates would be comparable to the premium or discount on the future.
[2015-12-26 20:46:56] rapidtrades : but that affects leverage mainly and u can size ur position
[2015-12-26 20:47:32] rapidtrades : current rates to go long are 0.0367%
[2015-12-26 20:48:01] rapidtrades : shorts are almost free atm
[2015-12-26 20:51:16] j8 : a bit worrying that there's 5k coins sitting there ready to be borrowed for cheap and market sold
[2015-12-26 20:51:47] rapidtrades : not worrying at all if ur hedged :)
[2015-12-26 20:52:53] rapidtrades : I assume rates will spike as the coins are depleted? but I haven't shorted much on finex so not sure
[2015-12-26 20:55:42] j8 : yeah, their system adjusts the FRR based on supply and demand. of course anyone can post bids or offers at any rate, but it's not a very good market since most people just let the system do it for them

[2015-12-26 21:15:07] BitMEX_Sam : Hi v.rapTrading
[2015-12-26 21:18:56] v.rapTrading : I just got liquidated on a position that I market closed before fair price reached my liq price
[2015-12-26 21:19:19] v.rapTrading : in the past I have done this and had my account "restored to good standing
[2015-12-26 21:19:52] v.rapTrading : but this time it jsut froze and I watch my liq price get hit and turn red for a few moments before closing and notifying me of the liquidation
[2015-12-26 21:21:47] BitMEX_Sam : Sure, let us check on the history.
[2015-12-26 21:22:46] v.rapTrading : thanks
[2015-12-26 21:23:56] BitMEX_Wally : v.rapTrading: Your market close order was submitted into the market at your liquidation price of 414.67 but there were no matching orders in the book
[2015-12-26 21:24:49] v.rapTrading : mm. okay.
[2015-12-26 21:24:51] BitMEX_Wally : At the time the market bid was 413.3
[2015-12-26 21:25:39] v.rapTrading : oh wow okay that moved fast
[2015-12-26 21:27:41] BitMEX_Wally : Yes, it looks like the bids were being hammered
[2015-12-26 21:29:03] v.rapTrading : rough chop
[2015-12-26 21:29:04] Mido : can I set isolate margin before buying contracts?
[2015-12-26 21:29:21] BitMEX_Wally : Yes, there is a drop down under `Order Options`
[2015-12-26 21:31:39] Mido : i mean
[2015-12-26 21:31:46] Mido : set a value
[2015-12-26 21:31:54] Mido : for example 20%
[2015-12-26 21:31:58] Mido : not just check it
[2015-12-26 21:32:48] wurstgelee : not yet
[2015-12-26 21:33:21] wurstgelee : workaround, add order with cross, switch to isolated, manually add margin
[2015-12-26 21:35:30] TschavaTschigger : sam/wally: what error message do I get when I reach the API request limit? could try now by hammering requests to your servers but I think asking kindly makes more sense
[2015-12-26 21:37:41] Mido : switch to isolated?
[2015-12-26 21:37:42] Mido : how?

[2015-12-26 21:38:39] Mido : ok i did it
[2015-12-26 21:38:58] BitMEX_Wally : TschavaTschigger: Thank you for asking :) The HTTP status code is 429
[2015-12-26 21:38:58] Mido : but its on 0.00x cuz no one sold for this price yet

[2015-12-26 21:39:39] Mido : yes it is
[2015-12-26 21:40:00] Mido : U know, i wanted to set the margin and go to sleep

[2015-12-27 02:15:21] TschavaTschigger : lockhedge: maybe you should also de-weight if a price of one exchange spikes or flashcrashes irrationally
[2015-12-27 02:15:28] lockhedge : thanks guys, this is the first day i can remember that BIX is below XBX, my MM bot made quite some money since it is using BIX as reference
[2015-12-27 02:16:25] lockhedge : TschavaTschigger: will work on dynamic de-weighting, inputs are highly welcome
[2015-12-27 02:17:28] TschavaTschigger : but the idea is great. I always hated tradeblock for being propietary

[2015-12-27 14:22:52] zanza : sleger: ok im back , did you already say?
[2015-12-27 14:23:09] sleger : nobody asked so no
[2015-12-27 14:26:14] BitMEX_Wally : What would you do if rapidtrades wanted to know?
[2015-12-27 14:34:44] gielbier : sleger: tell me :)
[2015-12-27 14:35:01] sleger : ahhh thank you, I was dying !!!
[2015-12-27 14:35:44] sleger : So I used rapidtrades magic formula (11=14) and from then you can easily find a way to crack RSA code, which I do now on a piece of paper when I have some spare time to mine a couple of blocks, hence the hashrate increase !
[2015-12-27 14:35:48] TschavaTschigger : next stop: goblin town

[2015-12-27 15:39:40] BitMEX_Wally : Combined with `execInst: "ParticipateDoNotInitiate"` (i.e. only trade if you get the maker rebate) is great for market makers

[2015-12-27 17:47:24] Swedishnut : Yeah Bitmex continues to impress
[2015-12-27 18:08:38] dr.rock : im about to go kamikaze

[2015-12-27 18:09:46] dr.rock : Banzai!
[2015-12-27 18:19:27] cekseh : All in 15 contracts!
[2015-12-27 18:22:36] dr.rock : if i only played with 15 contracts i'd be sitting pretty right now

[2015-12-27 18:38:28] manchstr_untd1 : big move due soon. expected to be bullish?
[2015-12-27 18:38:52] wurstgelee : thats toooo optimistic imo ;)
[2015-12-27 19:14:05] SnackyCoins : @BitMEX_Arthur @BitMEX_Sam @BitMEX_Wally $6 premium on 24h when okc weekly is at a discount? is this right?
[2015-12-27 19:22:24] chromaticcr : affirmitive with too much contracts opening lol
[2015-12-27 19:22:29] chromaticcr : getting some deposits~
[2015-12-27 19:41:44] chromaticcr : got 4k conts, wish y'all luck
[2015-12-27 19:46:55] jung1 : you are short?
[2015-12-27 19:47:18] chromaticcr : @SnackyCoins : should be in the green as long as price stays in the range between 390-460, quanto inverse arb got risk
[2015-12-27 20:15:13] SnackyCoins : in the green yes but given we're sideways it should only be a couple dollars
[2015-12-27 20:16:28] SnackyCoins : last time there was a $6 premium we were going up pretty rapidly
[2015-12-27 20:23:15] habibi : lel wtf is wrong with that premium on 24 today :D?
[2015-12-27 20:23:27] wurstgelee : dunno
[2015-12-27 20:23:46] wurstgelee : well have a lot of mc longs on a minor dump ;)
[2015-12-27 20:23:59] habibi : few hours ago it was at normal price
[2015-12-27 20:25:07] TschavaTschigger : can anybody rationally explain to me why coinbase was $8 above finex yesterday? I still don't get that
[2015-12-27 20:25:34] TschavaTschigger : bitcoin markets are super-weird sometimes
[2015-12-27 20:28:51] Swedishnut : Dyslexia Helps :P
[2015-12-27 20:29:18] stf28 : https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3ydwg2/warning_abnormally_high_number_of_blocks/
[2015-12-27 20:34:13] habibi : 6 dollar premium
[2015-12-27 20:34:15] habibi : u are mad
[2015-12-27 20:35:15] chromaticcr : We need some short rekt to get higher premium to arb lol
[2015-12-27 20:37:35] habibi : 7d wtf :D
[2015-12-27 20:37:50] BitMEX_Sam : Blocks are bursty today
[2015-12-27 20:37:52] BitMEX_Sam : https://blockchain.info/blocks
[2015-12-27 20:40:23] SnackyCoins : sam is the fair price functioning normally?
[2015-12-27 20:40:46] SnackyCoins : there seems to be a really high premium considering the market action of the past 24h
[2015-12-27 20:41:01] wurstgelee : i dont see the problem
[2015-12-27 20:41:11] habibi : no 6k bot
[2015-12-27 20:41:16] habibi : thats why this spread on 24h
[2015-12-27 20:41:16] wurstgelee : fair price is between bids and asks, right?
[2015-12-27 20:41:19] habibi : i mean premium
[2015-12-27 20:41:20] SnackyCoins : no wurst
[2015-12-27 20:41:34] SnackyCoins : fair price includes a fair basis interest set by bitmex
[2015-12-27 20:41:44] SnackyCoins : the bots trade around it
[2015-12-27 20:42:08] SnackyCoins : during sideways market, at 24h contract OPEN we usually see maybe $2
[2015-12-27 20:42:23] wurstgelee : fair price is not fixed by that basis interest
[2015-12-27 20:42:30] SnackyCoins : $7 premium is what i would expect to see if we were making daily upwards $15 moves or so
[2015-12-27 20:42:35] wurstgelee : orders play their part too
[2015-12-27 20:42:52] SnackyCoins : how do the orders play in?
[2015-12-27 20:42:59] SnackyCoins : fair price is basis + index
[2015-12-27 20:43:36] SnackyCoins : there is nothing any whale or user can do to affect the fair price of a contract on bitmex.com.. they'd have to play a spot market to change it
[2015-12-27 20:43:39] wurstgelee : BitMEX_Sam: do you have that calculation formula link at hand? ;)
[2015-12-27 20:43:51] SnackyCoins : i'll go double check 8)
[2015-12-27 20:43:54] BitMEX_Sam : https://www.bitmex.com/app/dynamicProfitEqualisation#fair-price-marking
[2015-12-27 20:43:58] habibi : guys go mm on 7 days
[2015-12-27 20:44:03] habibi : u see what happens without mm
[2015-12-27 20:44:47] wurstgelee : SnackyCoins: weighted mid price
[2015-12-27 20:44:56] SnackyCoins : this is new for me on this page 8)
[2015-12-27 20:45:19] wurstgelee : BitMEX_Sam: thanks
[2015-12-27 20:46:28] habibi : i mean 24h, not 7d
[2015-12-27 20:47:43] SnackyCoins : So the premium is high because we are bid heavy? How does this weight work when the contract is first issued?
[2015-12-27 20:49:22] BitMEX_Sam : The idea is that the fair should follow the market within reason, but make manipulation expensive and not allow cascading liquidations
[2015-12-27 20:49:47] BitMEX_Sam : I would have to double-check with Wally for the exact info but I believe that in the absence of a book (right at issuance), the contract follows a precalculated fair basis
[2015-12-27 20:50:01] wurstgelee : BitMEX_Sam: seems like it, yes
[2015-12-27 20:50:17] wurstgelee : right after opening, fair price is=index price for a while
[2015-12-27 20:50:27] BitMEX_Wally : wurstgelee: Yes you are correct
[2015-12-27 20:51:01] wurstgelee : yay \o/
[2015-12-27 20:51:15] BitMEX_Wally : The fair basis is adjusted based on the weighted market price: https://www.bitmex.com/app/dynamicProfitEqualisation#weighted-bid-ask-and-mid-price
[2015-12-27 20:52:08] SnackyCoins : So does this mean someone could push the fair price using a large order, but they would have to place it fairly close to the front of the book to be counted?
[2015-12-27 20:52:48] SnackyCoins : is this calcuated every tick?
[2015-12-27 20:53:01] wurstgelee : you could push it, but thats risky ands expensive
[2015-12-27 20:53:27] BitMEX_Wally : Yes you would have to use a large order, and hold it there over time
[2015-12-27 20:53:55] wurstgelee : it only works out if market moves in your direction
[2015-12-27 20:54:02] wurstgelee : otherwise you pay big time
[2015-12-27 20:54:23] SnackyCoins : OK that sounds good. I still think the premium is unusual 8) but I will just take it as data
[2015-12-27 20:54:40] wurstgelee : it reflects bitmex tarder's sentiment atm ;)
[2015-12-27 20:54:46] wurstgelee : *traders
[2015-12-27 20:54:51] BitMEX_Wally : :)
[2015-12-27 20:55:05] SnackyCoins : yeah we have quite a great deal of sentiment divergence between exchanges it would seem today :)
[2015-12-27 20:55:15] wurstgelee : hehe, yes
[2015-12-27 20:55:37] Swedishnut : any press is good press I guess :)
[2015-12-27 20:55:58] Swedishnut : turn up the Volume please and smooth stuff out would be great...
[2015-12-27 21:00:44] macios15 : 2730 in next h

[2015-12-27 21:20:04] BitMEX_Wally : TschavaTschigger: Lots of testing needed so in the new year
[2015-12-27 21:20:16] TschavaTschigger : ok, makes sense
[2015-12-27 21:34:37] REKT : Liquidated short on XBT24H: Buy 50 @ 428.83
[2015-12-27 22:00:39] wurstgelee : even when its going down we keep the premium of $5+
[2015-12-27 22:00:41] wurstgelee : lol :)
[2015-12-27 22:12:00] justinlooking : wtf is going on
[2015-12-27 22:20:10] wurstgelee : dunno

[2015-12-27 22:20:53] rapidtrades : hey btw
[2015-12-27 22:21:50] BitMEX_Wally : Yes has to be email
[2015-12-27 22:22:01] rapidtrades : BitMEX_Wally: ok good, thanks
[2015-12-27 22:27:30] rapidtrades : that's a lot of premium...anyone else selling into that?
[2015-12-27 22:27:55] wurstgelee : else? there are no sells?
[2015-12-27 22:27:57] macios15 : ema 1h going to cross thats why
[2015-12-27 22:28:16] habibi : nope
[2015-12-27 22:28:24] habibi : one big guy with great long
[2015-12-27 22:29:10] rapidtrades : so china still hasn't catched up huh
[2015-12-27 22:29:12] wurstgelee : extreme thin orderbook tho
[2015-12-27 22:29:14] habibi : btw thats the time when isolated is much more safer
[2015-12-27 22:29:16] rapidtrades : what do u make of that?
[2015-12-27 22:29:25] wurstgelee : on the buy side
[2015-12-27 22:30:07] rapidtrades : fair prices is f-ed up as well
[2015-12-27 22:30:24] wurstgelee : yes, bc of orders obv
[2015-12-27 22:30:42] rapidtrades : it should tend towards the middle of bid/ask no?
[2015-12-27 22:31:07] wurstgelee : lol

[2015-12-27 22:31:18] wurstgelee : oO
[2015-12-27 22:31:25] habibi : lol fair price jumped 2 dollars \
[2015-12-27 22:31:32] wurstgelee : wtf?
[2015-12-27 22:31:44] rapidtrades : wally stop f*cking with the fair price :)
[2015-12-27 22:32:03] wurstgelee : wtf....
[2015-12-27 22:32:04] habibi : BitMEX_Wally: got position for 0.18 margin
[2015-12-27 22:32:13] tajnalaska : to the moon?
[2015-12-27 22:32:16] TschavaTschigger : the price is perfectly fine
[2015-12-27 22:32:16] habibi : get isolated mc and lost much twice at it, why?
[2015-12-27 22:32:39] wurstgelee : TschavaTschigger: it was below bids for a while, then suddenly jumped by $2
[2015-12-27 22:32:45] wurstgelee : doesnt seem normal to me
[2015-12-27 22:32:51] habibi : yep totally fucked up
[2015-12-27 22:32:56] chromaticcr : arb the fuck outta it
[2015-12-27 22:33:27] rapidtrades : so is finex API down or smth
[2015-12-27 22:35:25] TschavaTschigger : wurstgelee: it can be below bids, this is working as intented... it uses <b>weighted</b> bid-ask mid for the fair price
[2015-12-27 22:35:47] rapidtrades : finex is playing it cool
[2015-12-27 22:35:50] wurstgelee : TschavaTschigger: nothing happened in the orderbooks when it jumped
[2015-12-27 22:36:09] rapidtrades : wurstgelee: maybe time happened?
[2015-12-27 22:36:19] TschavaTschigger : the highest bid and the lowest ask don't have to change
[2015-12-27 22:36:42] wurstgelee : i have grouped by 1.00
[2015-12-27 22:36:50] wurstgelee : there wasnt any serious movement
[2015-12-27 22:37:24] habibi : BitMEX_Wally: BitMEX_Sam?
[2015-12-27 22:37:58] BitMEX_Wally : The market is moving quickly
[2015-12-27 22:38:10] habibi : there was no move
[2015-12-27 22:40:40] micmix : no 6k bot to stabilize the book
[2015-12-27 22:40:48] wurstgelee : thats probably it
[2015-12-27 22:41:00] rapidtrades : I see 6k?
[2015-12-27 22:41:01] haxmb : which idiot is marking 7 bucks over inex
[2015-12-27 22:41:04] chromaticcr : there is a 2k bot to stabalize the rocket to the moon
[2015-12-27 22:41:11] habibi : yea but 16 contracts buy made fair price
[2015-12-27 22:41:16] habibi : moved 2+ dollars?
[2015-12-27 22:41:42] wurstgelee : *all of a sudden, thats the point
[2015-12-27 22:41:47] wurstgelee : one tick to another
[2015-12-27 22:41:58] micmix : 6k with $8 spread, it's not the same 6k bot that was quoting with 40-50 spread
[2015-12-27 22:42:06] micmix : 40-50c
[2015-12-27 22:42:35] habibi : 0.8-1.2 recently
[2015-12-27 22:42:37] BitMEX_Wally : The fair basis is adjusted based on the depth weighted price of 10 XBT worth of risk on both sides
[2015-12-27 22:43:04] BitMEX_Wally : The depth weighted spread has to be less than 50 bps for there to be an adjustment
[2015-12-27 22:43:11] habibi : so how it could move 2 dollars without price moving?
[2015-12-27 22:43:18] habibi : ah so its all about orderbook?
[2015-12-27 22:43:24] wurstgelee : yes
[2015-12-27 22:43:32] chromaticcr : more like a bot that refer to the fair price where pumping up the market will have positive feedback loop to pump it further more
[2015-12-27 22:43:48] habibi : quite easy to manipulate right?
[2015-12-27 22:43:53] BitMEX_Wally : Most bots use some underlying spot reference
[2015-12-27 22:44:33] wurstgelee : the problem is the thin orderbook/absence of big orders
[2015-12-27 22:44:36] chromaticcr : infinity ammo
[2015-12-27 22:45:05] wurstgelee : combined with big spread bewteen bid and asks, it easy to manipulate
[2015-12-27 22:45:07] macios15 : da fuck
[2015-12-27 22:45:11] macios15 : 425 xD
[2015-12-27 22:45:18] chromaticcr : 425 and back up again
[2015-12-27 22:45:21] chromaticcr : agin
[2015-12-27 22:45:30] rapidtrades : dam missed it
[2015-12-27 22:45:40] chromaticcr : aaaaand bot wall is up again
[2015-12-27 22:46:02] wurstgelee : lol oO
[2015-12-27 22:46:15] chromaticcr : again...... *3
[2015-12-27 22:46:18] wurstgelee : such fuckery
[2015-12-27 22:46:20] macios15 : that 425 was only 1k
[2015-12-27 22:46:38] REKT : Liquidated long on XBT24H: Sell 1792 @ 427.70
[2015-12-27 22:46:45] wurstgelee : lololol
[2015-12-27 22:46:46] chromaticcr : lol
[2015-12-27 22:47:00] micmix : 2k bot was pushing up
[2015-12-27 22:47:04] wurstgelee : this is fucked up ;)
[2015-12-27 22:47:22] chromaticcr : if the bot get rekt there will be a lot of dpe for hell sure
[2015-12-27 22:47:42] micmix : reacted to my test bot with 20 contracts ;-) I stopped my test bot
[2015-12-27 22:47:50] wurstgelee : haha
[2015-12-27 22:47:53] micmix : should get to normal now
[2015-12-27 22:48:26] rapidtrades : well those were one of the quikest profits made here
[2015-12-27 22:48:28] rapidtrades : tnx...
[2015-12-27 22:48:40] chromaticcr : wonder who :)
[2015-12-27 22:49:04] macios15 : eating premium
[2015-12-27 22:49:07] chromaticcr : i am like 4k conts... already full for me
[2015-12-27 22:49:20] micmix : I'll have lunch and come back to test some more
[2015-12-27 22:49:21] haxmb : micmix
[2015-12-27 22:49:23] haxmb : turn back on plz
[2015-12-27 22:49:49] habibi : micmix: so ur bot pushed price so badly? :D
[2015-12-27 22:50:06] wurstgelee : no, his bot stopped another bot doing it ;)
[2015-12-27 22:50:29] micmix : it was a feedback loop bc of thin book
[2015-12-27 22:50:34] chromaticcr : for impact of 20 contracts
[2015-12-27 22:50:53] haxmb : turn it back on to make that other one buy too high
[2015-12-27 22:51:07] wurstgelee : happening again? :)
[2015-12-27 22:51:13] chromaticcr : yup

[2015-12-28 00:06:19] Gomezpl : earning time for new one:)
[2015-12-28 00:07:06] micmix : BitMEX_Wally, are you there?
[2015-12-28 00:12:14] BitMEX_Arthur : micmix: Hi
[2015-12-28 00:12:38] habibi : u are not the Wally he is looking for
[2015-12-28 00:12:48] Gomezpl : :)
[2015-12-28 00:14:14] micmix : BitMEX_Arthur: Hi Arthur! I have a suggestion for Wally: implement time smoothing for mark price to avoid $2-3 jumps when the orderbook is thin
[2015-12-28 00:14:36] micmix : will prevent unneeded liquidations
[2015-12-28 00:14:56] wurstgelee : micmix: good idea
[2015-12-28 00:15:52] TschavaTschigger : or just use more impact margin... 0.1 btc is not much, about 2500 contracts atm
[2015-12-28 00:16:09] habibi : 160+k contracts here
[2015-12-28 00:16:11] TschavaTschigger : but yeah, time smoothing is smart too
[2015-12-28 00:16:14] habibi : something is no yes today :D
[2015-12-28 00:17:45] micmix : something basic like exponential smoothing will work well, and he can test different smoothing factors to make sure it reacts fast enough
[2015-12-28 00:18:08] TschavaTschigger : you could use impact margin of 0.5-0.8 with lower weights for higher orderbook-levels
[2015-12-28 00:18:25] TschavaTschigger : something intelligent, right now it's plain simple and too easy to manipulate
[2015-12-28 00:19:53] micmix : yeah, I agree with @TschavaTschigger, it's easy to manipulate when liquidity is low as we saw today with 'battle of the bots' :-)
[2015-12-28 00:21:36] wurstgelee : premium is still odly high currently
[2015-12-28 00:21:50] wurstgelee : *D
[2015-12-28 00:26:13] micmix : BitMEX_Arthur: I also question the decision to allow hidden orders (on testnet now). You can get an orderbook that looks empty even though it's full of orders, and regular traders will be afraid to trade here. At least charge a fee for hidden orders like finex does.
[2015-12-28 00:32:01] SnackyCoins : lol @ traders will be afraid when literally every other exchange has hidden orders
[2015-12-28 00:33:41] BitMEX_Wally : micmix: Hidden orders will pay the taker fee
[2015-12-28 00:33:52] BitMEX_Wally : If you execute against a hidden order you get paid the maker rebate
[2015-12-28 00:35:14] BitMEX_Wally : I think Bitfinex do similar
[2015-12-28 00:38:29] SnackyCoins : I hope to find hidden orders 8)
[2015-12-28 00:39:13] micmix : BitMEX_Wally: that's good, finex used to charge a fixed fee for hidden orders, now it's just taker fee. what about iceberg orders?
[2015-12-28 00:40:17] BitMEX_Wally : Iceberg orders will pay the taker fee.
[2015-12-28 00:40:37] BitMEX_Wally : If you execute against a hidden portion of the iceberg order you get the maker fee for the whole amount
[2015-12-28 00:41:39] BitMEX_Wally : So if I have `orderQty=1000` and `displayQty=200` and you trade 100 contracts against the visible 200 you pay taker, but if you trade 300 contracts you get the maker rebate
[2015-12-28 00:42:47] micmix : got it. If I place an order with displayQty < orderQty will I be charged taker fee on the whole orderQty or only on the hidden portion?
[2015-12-28 00:43:28] BitMEX_Wally : If you have a non-null displayQty then you pay taker fee on the whole orderQty
[2015-12-28 00:44:00] micmix : ok, so MMs will not be able to use iceberg or hidden orders
[2015-12-28 00:44:06] TschavaTschigger : why would anybody use iceberg orders then?
[2015-12-28 00:44:20] BitMEX_Wally : micmix: MM correct, you have to pay to play
[2015-12-28 00:44:25] micmix : that's good for the orderbook appearence
[2015-12-28 00:45:00] BitMEX_Wally : Iceberg orders are not for market makers, they are for people building positions who do not want to show their hand to the market
[2015-12-28 00:45:32] TschavaTschigger : Ah... gotcha. didn't know that.
