Hi TheMatrix101

Can you shoot a mail to support@margin.de listing the exchange/pairs that have no data.

Thanks!

We're happy to announce the pre-release test-phase for the margin mobile app!
The app is a portfolio-tracker which enables automatic data-fetching from margin supported crypto-exchanges to calculate your portfolio value in USD, BTC, ETH etc.

If you would like to join the testing phase, send over an email to support@margin.de with the version (iOS or Android) you would like to test and your Apple ID email or Play Store email address.

After we compile a list of users, you will get an email with instructions on how to setup the margin mobile app. You may test the complete app functionality from sign-up, adding of your exchange API keys (they remain on your device and are not stored on our servers ), our Ticker and portfolio tracking of course.

Really excited to get this publicly released soon. We appreciate your support in helping us along our journey!

This should certainly come in handy. Watching the market cap for the past 12+ hours smart money has started to enter the game. The market cap has jumped $4B while BTC prices have remained neutral for the last 24 hours.

Attention Hodlers using Poloniex!

What they're not telling you:

"After maintenance begins, we will cancel all open orders. When the site is back online, markets will be in post-only mode for a short time before we reopen trading. "

Just checked, I've got a dozen orders going back to July. So far Bittrex and Poloniex are the only ones doing this, everyone else has no problem. I would have to assume it is a way of generating revenue. Might be a good time to reposition some assets on a top 20 tier exchange having better cash flow (and more volume).

Apparently there was strong opposition to having orders canceled.

***
We’re postponing the maintenance originally planned for this Monday, December 17th. Our final testing uncovered an obstacle we need to address prior to completing the upgrade in order to make it as fast, seamless, and secure as possible. We apologize if this delay is inconvenient for you. However, it is critical that we minimize platform downtime, and will provide ample notice once we’ve rescheduled the maintenance.

Additionally, in response to the feedback we received this time, we wanted to note a couple things: First, we’re working to find a solution for customers with many open orders. Second, we will do our best to reschedule during a time when volumes are typically low.

Should you have further questions about the maintenance, please see our FAQS https://poloniex.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/1000271998-faq-for-planned-maintenance-on-december-17-2018- or reach out to our support team, who are always standing by to assist you.

Warning!!

We are having issues with data collection for historical trades. If you have been running margin you won't see an issue as your local instance gets the trades directly from the exchanges. However, if you restart or load a new exchange you will see gaps in the data.

We hope to have a fix for this soon.

Please contact support@margin.de if you have any questions.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

[leonArdo@margin]

Should be fixed now.

All the best,
Jonathan

Huge opportunity for Crypto right now. After the Santa Rally things settled back down. But I think it is all in the timing. Stocks are at a 15 month low, if there should happen to be a crypto rally of 30% on today's rates which is not unheard of, it would once again have a lot more people looking this direction. I believe the floor has been met, it doesn't need to go any lower and indeed it dare not as the infrastructure is being threatened now.

This past week I closed out at 5 exchanges to better focus on exchanges in the top 20. The increased prices on the exchanges with more volume more than made up for exchange rates. Only Poloniex is on shaky ground while they decide if they are going to cancel open orders when they do maintenance. If they do they are gone, like Bittrex. Binance, HitBTC and Kraken have not shirked their responsibilities by canceling long positions.

In the last 24 hours all the talking heads have clamored that BTC will regain 4,500 all the way up to 6,000.

So prepare, I believe that using margin's EMA strategy the market does not really have to go up, just the smooth continual undulation of the prices should suffice. 

I'm off to enjoy Christmas with family and friends.

Merry Christmas!

The 2018 Blockchain Transparency Report is out!

Have you ever wondered why a strategy dies at 4PM on a Thursday that has been running perfectly for weeks up until now with 480K USD showing in a 3 day window from lack of volume? ..so have I!

This speaks volumes, while I won't defend their practices, the "real" net volume at Huobi and HitBTC is so much greater than almost all exchanges, you certainly shouldn't discount them out of hand.

https://www.blockchaintransparency.org/

Compare the above link with the next one and you should have an ah ha moment.  

https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/volume/24-hour/

This link may be of particular interest to the folks at margin, specifically the 5th column from the left.

This has been a tumultuous <can't believe I spelled correctly on the first try> year for cryptocurrency and I believe this report explains some of the oddities that have taken place.

Happy New Year!

From Bitfinex

"Dear Bitfinex user,

We are rapidly approaching the last phase of our data migration to dedicated bare-metal servers, with scheduled downtime commencing on Monday 7th January at 10:00AM UTC.

This means that tomorrow for a period of up to seven hours Bitfinex account holders will be unable to trade or access their wallets.

There are no actions you need to take in advance of the data migration tomorrow, but please do pay particular attention to the following information:

All funds will remain safe and unaffected throughout the entirety of the migration and will not be at risk at any point throughout the update. No orders will be executed during downtime. All open orders will be kept (regardless of price movements) and resume once the platform is back online.

Users will not be liquidated during downtime. However, traders should be aware that if the price moves significantly during this time, they are at risk of liquidation as soon as the platform is reopened and should therefore take necessary precautions. We kindly ask all traders to review their margin requirements and assess the risk of market movement on their open margin positions before entering the maintenance window.

Whilst the migration is due to take place tomorrow at 10:00 AM UTC, we will continue to monitor the market and if deemed too volatile, will reschedule to more typical conditions. You will be the first to hear of any changes.

Tomorrow we will be in close communication to ensure you are fully up to speed. We will alert you 1 hour before the migration commences, and our status page will be regularly updated with our progress. We will send another email 5 minutes before the platform re-opens and trading will start 5 minutes after the platform is accessible again.

We have created a specific FAQ here, but if you have any outstanding queries, please do not hesitate to get in touch with our support team here.

We appreciate that up to seven hours is a significant length of time in digital asset trading, and we thank you for your understanding and patience whilst we take these necessary measures to make our platform even greater (please see our announcement for further details).

Rest assured we are working quickly to make this transition as smooth as possible without compromising on safety or quality.

The Bitfinex Team"
