Ok... i see what yodu’re saying. In the qty I need to increase that manually to get to my desired position.

I assumed entering the ‘real’ base amount, which would spin up accordingly based on leverage.

Damn, made an easy 10% in play money in a few minutes on a right shoulder...

??

The qty is your contracts, at $1 usd per contract. Leverage isn’t your liquidation point, but the LP does get closer to your entry price depending on the leverage you use.

Right now In testnet I am playing with qty 5000 at 50x leverage. Because the action is currently choppy it would take considerable time to test 5% price movements, so I’ll try 1%. That movement may be too low, I dunno. But at 50x I would expect more than a simple 1% return.
3  Economy / Trading Discussion / Bitmex testnet: leverage not working correctly? on: March 31, 2018, 07:46:52 AM
I’ve been playing on the Bitmex testnet before attempting trades there with real money. Successfully shorting at 50X leverage with a downward price movement of 5% gives me a return of... 5%. Hmmm, me thinks I’m doing something wrong.

I could get the same result (a 5% gain in BTC) at any other exchange simply by selling and buying 5% lower, without the risk of liquidation.

Any suggestions? or is Bitmex just bs?

Barely. I chose my spread poorly and only made 5x overall... pretty disappointing. Lessons learned though.

Bots, most running the same baseline algo. Estimated 80% of all trades. Thats why u see the same patterns.
6  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Unconfirmed 2wk transaction, stuck. Help? on: December 17, 2017, 07:46:48 AM
Can anyone assist with this transaction? Fee was ridiculously low. Am willing to tip.

28a0545b41212cd021e2f0786dfda96ca81ddd996719f3d3836d42372113600f

Is only .028 btc, but googling stuck transactions and how long it takes to expire has me worried.
Some transactions are stuck for weeks or months?? or longer?

Why can’t these just expire after a specific time (1 week)?

ViaBTC paid service offered to push it through for $150... really?
7  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Bittrex support - 3 wks and counting - does it even exist? on: December 01, 2017, 12:21:35 AM
I have a minor issue with Bittrex I’ve been trying to resolve for 3 weeks now. Despite repeated attempts to communicate from my end all I get are automated email msgs stating it may take up to 24 hrs to receive a response due to increased volume on their site. Understandable, but 3 wks is a pretty big stretch without a single human initiated response to a simple matter...

Are these guys for real? Is this going to be the next Mt Gox or Cryptsy? With the volume the exchange handles on a daily basis, they can’t afford to scale their support staff accordingly?

Why do these exchanges have such difficulty running like real businesses?

Aside from a blatant attempt to manipulate the crypto market, fueled by personal egotism, selfishness, and syndication, why hate BCH? Consolidating considerable mining power, then using said power against the community because you didn’t get your way, and convincing some whales to jump on board? Roll Eyes

Are improvements necessary to sustain Bitcoin as its popularity and user base grows? Yes, but develop a real plan, one that doesn’t involve monthly forks and bs derivatives. Any professional would focus on resolution, addressing concerns and developing plans to the mutual benefit of all stakeholders. Instead, we see a handful of greasy hustlers seeking to profit from division.

Probably too much thinking and/or cooperation involved to be practical. Oh well, looking forward to Bitcoin bronze, aluminum, wood, recycled newspaper, etc...

Uh, because ALL bitcoin clones are shit, because the people behind BCH are assholes,

Shit, there are dozen's of reasons, U have to ask, as a newbie BOT account, the shill-bots for BCH are infinite, but note this is all they have,


BCH will never be BITCOIN, might as well repackage and re-invent yourselves as BITCOIN-PLATINUM

Besides CASH is dead, calling yourself BITCOIN-CASH is like saying BITCOIN-FIAT

ONLY a fucking nihilistic GOV psychopathic moron fool would call his coin 'fiat'

Agreed, guess my sarcasm wasn’t apparent in my post. PS, not a bot, been around since 2013...

11  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Waves platform and ICOs on: September 27, 2017, 06:15:40 PM
I'm having trouble understanding how Waves can be considered a trusted and reliable ICO facilitator, having partnerships with notable institutions such as Deloitte and Gazprombank, when they don't even have a public listing of a physical address, phone or email. The relatively few forum entries on their site list wallet and transaction errors, and the forum registration mechanism itself appears to be broken (tried 4 times to resend my confirmation, nothing). The overall quality of the site and content screams scam to me, despite wanting to believe they are legitimate.

Is it really normal at this stage for a company already facilitating millions in investment vehicles, and hopes to be a leader in this market, to be this dysfunctional?
