Our funding rate has been reworked, and will hopefully not influence trades as much as before. You can read all about this huge change in our blog.

The BCHUSD market is now open for trading.

Thank you Lucius!

Today we released an update which laid the foundation to support several other currencies.
We also implemented a profit/loss calculator in the order create window.
Check out our blog post for more information.

We are currently standing at 6700$ Bitcoin price and have a volume of 220 BTC trade on 1Fox in the last 24 hours.

All payments have been made! We would be happy, if campaign participants rate us via the bitcointalk trust system.
We will announce it in this thread, if we decide to start an additional round (with an improved signature and terms )


PS: If you keep using our signature, you can replace the links with your own 1Fox referral link, where you will receive a 50% revenue share of referred traders.

This was my mistake, I meant thursday. I will make post counts now, you guys are free to change your signatures. We will payout this afternoon.
Thank you for your patience, and you assisstance in getting the 1Fox name out there =)


With our referral system people get paid 50% of fees from their referred users. Since implementing this system, we got around 40-50 new users every day. But the clicks we got because of the signature campaign did not contribute to this number, even though you guys did a nice job at posting, and sometimes actively recommending 1Fox.


You are absolutely right. At the moment we experiment with different marketing actions to see what drives the most traders to 1Fox. I believe we might just picked the wrong time for this campaign. People are going out to watch football championship. And the Bitcoin bear market is a big turnoff for many that would be interested. And of course, with the signatures we compete against ICOs that create rewards out of thin air. All these factors certainly played a role, and we will see how we change things up when we make another campaign sometimes.

Dear friends,

tomorrow, we will count posts and send payout to all users that are active in our campaign. We also want to say thank you again for your help and your high quality posts, I handpicked all users in this campaign and I am very happy with the quality of the posts in general.

After two weeks with our campaign we have the following results:

In average, the campaign generated 5-7 clicks per day, but no new referred users, and also no increase in new users from other sources. From a business perspective, these results are not good enough to be able to defend this marketing action. As we are a business which strives to be efficient, we do not want to spend this much and see little to no outcome at all.

Of course there are things we might be able to improve upon, but for now we will stop the campaign and start some analysing from our part, what we could do better in the future.

First week has been counted, keep up the good work!

With today's update we implemented the dead man switch, which is a feature that can turn of trading bots when they lose the connection to our servers. Apart from that, the API has been further improved upon.
We also added a feature that estimates the profit of a position depending on the open orders in the order book, if it was closed with a market order.

Check out our blog post for more information.

Trading is like betting, it is only gambling if you lose  
To win, you need to pick trading strategies where the benefits outweigh the risks. This is why I want to share the most popular trading strategies on 1Fox with you, according to our data:

The speculative long/short trade
By far the most popular trading style is to speculate on rising or falling prices. If you believe, for example, that Bitcoin gets banned by a big country in the near future, you could open a leveraged short trade on BTCUSD and profit from a falling market price. If you believe that big financial institutions are going to invest in Bitcoin, you could open a long position and profit from the expected market price increase.

Hedging your cryptocurrency (Bitcoin) against price declines
Opening short positions is great way to hedge your cryptocurrency against price declines.

Consider the following example: The Bitcoin price is at 9000 USD and you own exactly 1 Bitcoin. You have the fear that the Bitcoin price could decline in the coming months and want to keep your USD value. This can be achieved by opening an unleveraged BTCUSD short position with a size of 1 BTC:

If the price falls from 9000 to 5000 you would profit with +0.8000 BTC. The total account balance of 1.8 BTC at a Bitcoin price of 5000 is exactly 9000 USD, your initial USD net worth. If the price rises from 9000 to 14000 you would lose -0.3572 BTC. However, the remaining account balance of 0.6428 BTC at a price of 14000 is again 9000 USD.

Lending fiat currency
Trading platforms usually have a system that keeps the index price on pair with the traded price. On 1Fox for example, this is called the funding rate and it can be expected that this rate is usually positive. This means that long positions pay and short positions receive funding payments in the long term. Opening unleveraged short positions can be interpreted as lending fiat currency to long traders.

Consider the following example: The average funding rate is 0.05% per day on the BTCUSD market and you intend to "lend" USD to others. This can be done by converting USD to BTC, transferring these BTC to 1Fox and opening an unleveraged short position. It the above section (Hedging your cryptocurrency (Bitcoin) against price declines) we learned that short positions keep a fixed value in terms of USD no matter how the market price moves. If we hold such a short position over a longer period of time and the funding rate remains positive, the USD worth of the position will constantly increase. To "realize" these profits, you have to close the position and convert your BTC back to USD.

A side-effect of this trading strategy is that you are virtually not exposed to BTCUSD price movements, which is certainly a pleasant feature for some traders.

Arbitrage trading
Arbitrage is defined as the purchase of securities on one market for immediate resale on another market in order to profit from a price discrepancy. This results in immediate risk-free profit.

An example: Imagine that you can enter the BTCUSD market (go long) at a price of 8000 and exit it at 8050 on another exchange or trading platform. Making these two trades will not change your BTC or USD exposure, but you will profit from the price difference instantly.
Of course there are also more advanced strategies like placing a Limit Order at a price below/above the potential entry point of another market. Once your Limit Order gets filled you can instantly "rebalance" your exposure by making a Market Order on the other trading platform with an instant profit.

Market making
A market maker and places an order both on the buy (long) and the sell (short) side of the order book hoping to make a profit on the bid-ask spread. Especially in times of low price volatility, the volume of buys and sells will be roughly the same. A market maker can generate profits by constantly "buying low" and "selling high". On most exchanges there are many competing market makers which rely on sophisticated trading algorithms.
If you are interested in becomming a marketmaker on 1Fox, there is a fundamental trading bot that you can build on if you are able to program.

What trading strategies have you used in the past? With which outcome?

We picked 15 members for the initial 2 weeks. Please view the spreadsheet to check if you made it to the team. If not, you can always re-apply at a later point in case of some people jumping off. It was a very tough decision to make. As a tip for the next rounds when there might be free spots: We picked people that earn merits here and there, post in gambling / trading discussions or had other things going for them.

Please all members that were picked, update your signature and avatar in the next 12 hours, or you will be replaced. Also you can read all about 1Fox in our guide if you don't really know what you advertise. https://1fox.com/?c=en/content/guide

There are 5 discussed trading strategies, just as a little help what your posts could be about in the next weeks
