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.

[2015-12-29 16:15:29] habibi : only when 15 minutes candles spikes 20+ down/up u can see it [2015-12-29 16:16:01] BitMEX_Arthur : as I said that's just not my style [2015-12-29 16:16:24] BitMEX_Sam : @everyone I've deployed a round of mobile optimizations, you should see improved performance on your phone if you're using it to trade. [2015-12-29 16:16:26] BitMEX_Arthur : I'm an arb guy no matter how bullish I am i wouldn't pay that kind of premium unless i really knew something the market didn't [2015-12-29 16:16:31] rapidtrades : it's still a huge risk for hedging or arbing...one large clawback and you could lose most of your profits [2015-12-29 16:16:57] BitMEX_Arthur : rapidtrades: Clawback is a risk but the only reason 24H trades so crazy is because of 100x leveage [2015-12-29 16:17:11] billyboy402 : BitMEX_Sam: thanks , i have notice the mobile is looking better [2015-12-29 16:17:14] sleger : rapidtrades: it's a zero sum game, you can profit from clawback [2015-12-29 16:17:14] rapidtrades : I don't agree with that [2015-12-29 16:17:17] BitMEX_Arthur : and with 100x leverage, the system we have in place is necessary to ensure we continue as an exchange [2015-12-29 16:17:33] rapidtrades : We still see clawback on okc with 20/1 lev [2015-12-29 16:17:58] habibi : werent u the one who was yelling that okc is much better than here coz they market close and no clowback? [2015-12-29 16:18:01] BitMEX_Arthur : rapidtrades: If you have some way to margin 100x leverage futures on the most volatile currency in the world where there is no clawbacks or forced position closing please let me know [2015-12-29 16:18:21] billyboy402 : is there a reason why there no daily XBU with 100x , so we can buy XBT ..... and sell XBU [2015-12-29 16:18:30] sleger : BitMEX_Arthur: there is : run a ponzi [2015-12-29 16:18:33] rapidtrades : the only reason we haven't seen a major fuckup from clawback is that bitcoin has been more or less range-bound for the past few years... [2015-12-29 16:18:52] BitMEX_Arthur : billyboy402: Because XBU is suitable for hedging not speculating [2015-12-29 16:18:58] BitMEX_Arthur : so it kind of defeats the purpose [2015-12-29 16:19:14] rapidtrades : once you see prices go 2X or 3x up or down, you will get that one runaway move that never comes back [2015-12-29 16:19:23] rapidtrades : so far all of then retraces enough [2015-12-29 16:19:30] habibi : u know that u can still make great money on that? [2015-12-29 16:19:33] sleger : billyboy402: real answer is that bitmex guarantees settlement (no clawback) so they dont want to take too much risk [2015-12-29 16:19:37] billyboy402 : but if you thibnk the market is going down , isnt it better to trade XBU ? [2015-12-29 16:19:51] BitMEX_Arthur : billyboy402: Yes [2015-12-29 16:19:51] rapidtrades : huge outlier risk with clawback imo...not just here but on okc as well [2015-12-29 16:20:45] sleger : yes, go trade xbu : 15 points spread now :p [2015-12-29 16:20:46] billyboy402 : yea short on okc and have the risk or cawback [2015-12-29 16:21:53] billyboy402 : yea you cant trade XBU . there heaps of open order some time there only 1 cent spread , but no one it taking any orders [2015-12-29 16:22:35] billyboy402 : the different in fees and commsion is huge m so no one is bother to take , [2015-12-29 16:23:08] billyboy402 : then those fucken bots front run you on every time lol [2015-12-29 16:24:27] rapidtrades : time for me to take a small vacation until jan 3 imo...forex is shit atm, spiking up/down [2015-12-29 16:24:39] sleger : XBU: if you take and settle that's 0.5% commission per week, so if you want to hedge your btc for a month you have lost 2% already, 23% after a year. Just use it as a short term hedge [2015-12-29 16:24:59] sleger : rapidtrades: you still havent told us where you trade forex ? [2015-12-29 16:25:08] rapidtrades : yeah agree, duration is a major problem with xbu right now [2015-12-29 16:26:12] rapidtrades : maybe if wil be worth ir if we get some premium back [2015-12-29 16:27:11] rapidtrades : if u have 3 or 6 months there will definitely be some premium in there, it could reduce the impact of the fees or eliminate them completely [2015-12-29 16:48:55] billyboy402 : any way to get tradeblock price alarms on my IOS phone ? [2015-12-29 16:49:36] BitMEX_Sam : I haven't seen any for XBX specifically, but you could set one up for bitfinex or coinbase using existing apps [2015-12-29 16:50:28] billyboy402 : yea that what i currenly have , [2015-12-29 17:12:15] Swedishnut : 2015 appears to be the year of nothing grew but Bitcoin :P 2016 is poised for more traditional losses and greater continued growth of Crypto as it eats away the fake printer cash that is burned at the alter of credit to pay for mismanaged government actions. The money creation is slipping away from Central Bankers and eventually they will break. [2015-12-29 17:14:02] arbitrage001 : doesnt mean central bankers wont pull the rest of us down with them first [2015-12-29 17:15:47] Swedishnut : at least we have had this much warning to prep for their losses which is yes directly tied to many of if not all our current well being. But if you see a planet destroying comet with 100% certainty of destruction you build a rocket and leave the planet [2015-12-29 17:15:48] TschavaTschigger : Swedishnut: every year is the year of bitcoin ;) and every year traditional "old" banks are supposed to fail [2015-12-29 17:17:32] Swedishnut : Well one year they will :) and I'm glad we have had 5+ years of a working alternative. [2015-12-29 17:20:44] Swedishnut : also we have seen a lot of new growth and awareness. I'm sure there will be a new found surge of interest in January from new blood and old minds [2015-12-29 17:23:04] TschavaTschigger : if banks implement blockchain technology in the right way, it could take a huge part of the incentives for switching to bitcoin. for example issuing fiat over blockchain, meaning 24/7 transfers with lower transaction cost for customers (while banks still profit due to huge cost saving in infrastructure) [2015-12-29 17:23:13] TschavaTschigger : it's ironic that the bitcoin protocol could actually kill bitcoin [2015-12-29 17:24:41] REKT : Liquidated short on XBT24H: Buy 9592 @ 430.96 [2015-12-29 17:25:01] Swedishnut : true too but they would need to be accountable though and the money supply would be honest. that would be the cost [2015-12-29 17:25:44] TschavaTschigger : why would the money supply be honest? this is just the way it is coded in the bitcoin protocol. doesn't have to be the case in another implementation [2015-12-29 17:26:45] Swedishnut : ultimately BTC fights corruption if left in the public of the globe, Yes if BTC were flattened and restarted by central banks with fresh control over the network it would be nothing different than we have today [2015-12-29 17:29:55] TschavaTschigger : I am actually very sure this will be the case in the next 5-10 years. Blockchain is #1 priority in the r&d department of every single major bank. They have tenths of billions to spend, while we have a few dozen developers who refuse to talk with each other. [2015-12-29 17:31:32] TschavaTschigger : besides, banks have a high influence on political decisions. this is a very important factor many people often forget. [2015-12-29 17:46:18] Swedishnut : Banks though have lost the trust of the people. So their influence mars trust. [2015-12-29 17:47:43] TschavaTschigger : still, "banks have a high influence on political decisions", no matter if the public has trust in them or not [2015-12-29 17:49:37] Swedishnut : true that is why it is imperative to strip money creation from the power of government. Just like religion cannot be forced down someone's throat neither should someone's "Monopoly Money". [2015-12-29 17:50:12] TschavaTschigger : they play a major role in the legislation process, and they will also play a major role when it comes about blockchain/cryptocurrencies legislation. and guess who will profit from those laws. [2015-12-29 17:51:26] TschavaTschigger : Swedishnut: of course.. i totally agree with you ;) I am on your side ;) just saying that it's not as easy as many people think. I hope that bitcoin suceeds, but I am not so sure. [2015-12-29 17:52:42] Swedishnut : Thus it is blatant corruption to keep profits to spend holding their position in power. Thus maybe it comes down to block-chain enabled politics in public forums. :) I also agree with your arguements too. feels good to be able to see both outcomes and still have hope for the most positive in the face of the wall of institutional false value creation in fiat [2015-12-29 17:54:03] Swedishnut : Bitmex is the Best :) [2015-12-29 17:54:39] TschavaTschigger : the key factor will be the awareness of the banks, how fast they react. if they react fast, it will be the end of btc. Today, nobody would care if bitcoin gets banned. Sadly, for 99.99% of the people, bitcoin is some weird internet money for criminals. But if major banks/politicians wait too long and people get more awareness, a ban might be harder to enforce. [2015-12-29 17:57:56] Swedishnut : once something is banned just like the story of Cannabis it will find its way back to the light and cure the over medicated fiat market with one globe connected with one payment protocol and then we can start adding more planets :P [2015-12-29 17:58:27] TschavaTschigger : lol [2015-12-29 18:03:14] macios15 : 6h sar i sight [2015-12-29 18:03:45] habibi : 7d again almost discount [2015-12-29 18:04:49] TschavaTschigger : it's weird how low futures are atm, both 24H and 7D [2015-12-29 18:05:19] habibi : too many shorts opened at 430-428 [2015-12-29 18:05:21] habibi : let get them closed [2015-12-29 18:07:16] rapidtrades : I've been trying to long the 24h all day, noone was hitting the bids [2015-12-29 18:08:25] TschavaTschigger : someone desperately wants to get rid of 5k 24H it seems [2015-12-29 18:09:08] TschavaTschigger : or manipulate mark price [2015-12-29 18:09:41] mwalshe99 : TschavaTschigger: not you trying to sell? :) [2015-12-29 18:09:57] TschavaTschigger : mwalshe99: nope [2015-12-29 18:16:38] Swedishnut : I gotta got get a generator for my brother. See ya in a bit :) Truck tax :P [2015-12-29 18:18:32] REKT : Liquidated long on XBT24H: Sell 1051 @ 432.65 [2015-12-29 18:24:12] TschavaTschigger : BitMEX_Sam: is there a way to hide the chart controls? they are in the way of the bottom indicator http://imgur.com/GPlO71z [2015-12-29 18:24:32] REKT : Liquidated long on XBT24H: Sell 3634 @ 431.27 [2015-12-29 18:30:10] TschavaTschigger : BitMEX_Sam: a more extreme example: http://imgur.com/o2dbqvB [2015-12-29 18:32:32] BitMEX_Sam : TschavaTschigger: Hmm, that's the navigator control. There should be a way to disable it in the app but I can't find it [2015-12-29 18:33:07] BitMEX_Sam : I'll see if I can add a custom rt-click option like we did with the order/positions display [2015-12-29 18:33:20] zanza : TschavaTschigger: are you trading XBU now ? [2015-12-29 18:33:26] TschavaTschigger : BitMEX_Sam: that wouldbe nice. not urgent though.. just next time you are working on it [2015-12-29 18:33:37] TschavaTschigger : zanza: not yet. thinking about it though. why? [2015-12-29 18:51:32] REKT : Liquidated long on XBT24H: Sell 1500 @ 430.56 [2015-12-29 18:53:28] TschavaTschigger : zanza: why are you asking? [2015-12-29 18:53:53] zanza : TschavaTschigger: dont you run a a bot? [2015-12-29 18:54:03] zanza : it gives the biggest MM payout [2015-12-29 18:54:34] TschavaTschigger : zanza: yes, I know. I don't have much time atm though, will tackle XBU in january when the new api goes live. [2015-12-29 18:54:50] sleger : new API ? [2015-12-29 18:55:08] TschavaTschigger : well, new order methods [2015-12-29 18:55:14] sleger : okh ok [2015-12-29 19:01:44] justinlooking : TschavaTschigger: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/3293f01f731ee90b7a75 [2015-12-29 19:04:13] TschavaTschigger : justinlooking: cool. how can I add this? (attention, noob-alert) [2015-12-29 19:05:02] justinlooking : i wouldn't recommend using it regularly [2015-12-29 19:07:05] justinlooking : u can run adhoc in browser's console, but would recommend full reload afterwards [2015-12-29 19:08:05] TschavaTschigger : justinlooking: sweet, thanks dude [2015-12-29 19:08:32] TschavaTschigger : just learned there is a javascript console... professional web developer TschavaTschigger [2015-12-29 19:13:52] laisee : TschavaTschigger: > it was hidden in plain view ;-) [2015-12-29 19:21:33] REKT : Liquidated long on XBT24H: Sell 95 @ 429.51 [2015-12-29 19:21:33] REKT : Liquidated long on XBT24H: Sell 100 @ 429.60 [2015-12-29 19:53:40] jung1 : chart looks nice [2015-12-29 19:53:50] jung1 : looks like 450 [2015-12-29 20:42:54] TschavaTschigger : never in my life have I been able to read any market direction out of a chart.. seems as I am just not gifted :-( [2015-12-29 20:43:43] jung1 : so you throw a coin? [2015-12-29 20:46:50] lockhedge : i neither can predict the future based on market data [2015-12-29 20:47:06] jung1 : btw now It could be good time to go short on FACTOM [2015-12-29 20:47:12] jung1 : entry hype is over [2015-12-29 20:47:16] lockhedge : (from the past) [2015-12-29 20:49:54] TschavaTschigger : jung1: nope. but I try to come up with profitable strategies that do not depend on me magically predicting the future [2015-12-29 20:50:14] jung1 : fo example?

So there is no incentive to cancel the order once the hidden part is filled. [2015-12-30 18:17:15] sleger : hidden order should always pay taker fee, cf bitfinex [2015-12-30 18:18:08] sleger : or you're talking about iceberg (and not hidden) orders and then top part pays the maker fee ? [2015-12-30 18:22:11] BitMEX_Wally : sleger: Yes iceberg orders [2015-12-30 18:22:23] BitMEX_Wally : Hidden orders are just a special case where `displayQty = 0` [2015-12-30 18:27:02] sleger : makes sense now, thanks [2015-12-30 18:38:46] lockhedge : where can i find any information on hidden orders? couldn't find any in the api changelog? [2015-12-30 18:38:52] TschavaTschigger : BitMEX_Wally: that change makes sense. thanks [2015-12-30 18:39:14] BitMEX_Wally : lockhedge: They are currently being tested in testnet [2015-12-30 18:39:46] BitMEX_Wally : lockhedge: https://testnet.bitmex.com/api/explorer/#!/Order/Order_new [2015-12-30 18:40:41] lockhedge : thanks [2015-12-30 18:41:34] BitMEX_Wally : Here is the documentation (still being written): https://testnet.bitmex.com/app/orderTypeFAQ [2015-12-30 18:52:54] lockhedge : in combination with a maker/taker fee model (that reduces market quality/transparency by distorting the price-discovery process in exchange for more liquidity) hidden orders could lead to an even higher rebate arbitrage competition that in end could lead to less volume and less liquidity. [2015-12-30 18:53:16] lockhedge : and as a market maker, i just don't like hidden orders ;) [2015-12-30 18:59:07] lockhedge : BitMEX_Wally: it's great to have Testnet to study the effects of new order types, can i run a bot on Testnet without any effects on my rate limits for api calls for my real-money bots? [2015-12-30 19:02:05] BitMEX_Wally : lockhedge: Yes they are completely separate, you have to register for a testnet account [2015-12-30 19:03:04] lockhedge : BitMEX_Wally: ok perfect [2015-12-30 19:55:03] rapidtrades : wtf...why are we stil at discount? [2015-12-30 19:55:39] rapidtrades : looks like another illiquid day [2015-12-30 19:56:12] sleger : because more people want to sell at index price than buy [2015-12-30 19:57:08] rapidtrades : doubt it...premium has a lot to do with expected volatility and if we're going down, the premium shouldn't fall [2015-12-30 19:57:22] rapidtrades : cos falls are susceptible to crashes [2015-12-30 19:58:40] rapidtrades : sleger: you prolly f*cked some bot up when you bought those 100k on weekly [2015-12-30 19:59:06] sleger : on strong down move all premiums go <0 but there is volatility [2015-12-30 20:00:26] sleger : negative, although there is volatility. [2015-12-30 20:01:34] rapidtrades : agree re:premium but discount is unusual...we only dipped $7 today [2015-12-30 20:02:23] sleger : I think it's because more people expect to go down more, and there are more sellers than buyers. I am quite sure most bots here just follow the market and adjust depending on buy/sell pressure. [2015-12-30 20:03:57] rapidtrades : I would agree with that but my point was selling is only on this exchange due to liquidity issues...okc is at $426 finx at $424.3, not selling afaik [2015-12-30 20:03:58] TschavaTschigger : lockhedge: "hidden orders could lead to an even higher rebate arbitrage competition" hidden makers pay taker-fee, hidden takers get maker-rebate... so opposite of normal orders [2015-12-30 20:04:28] rapidtrades : TschavaTschigger: what....that sounds silly [2015-12-30 20:06:56] sleger : no thats normal, and thats also what finex does [2015-12-30 20:12:01] rapidtrades : hidden takers get rebate? but they're still net negative right? [2015-12-30 20:17:13] sleger : I dont know what a hidden taker would even mean. [2015-12-30 20:17:24] sleger : What we are saying is that hidden makers pay taker fee. [2015-12-30 20:18:01] BitMEX_Sam : It needs to work that way because otherwise a user could place what they thought was a resting order, but it executes against a hidden order [2015-12-30 20:18:14] BitMEX_Sam : In that case the user with the hidden order should pay the fee, not the user who placed what he thought was resting
