Been gone a couple days. The Bitmex going down and BTC pumping $500 1 minute later was hilarious.

I think I'm going long at 6375ish here. Really think we'll test 7k at some point but being very careful.

This type of trading is risky and not for newbies. You really need to study the charts and see where the price is heading, also the news to see if there is anything good to pump the prices. Otherwise, you might as well go into the local bar and put your coins into a slot machine instead

OP, what leverage are you using and how much % of your balance is usually involved in a trade?

noobs should just stay away from Bitmex. Hayes is a shark and makes no bones about it.

Living in this small range. I think we'll see a big wick up to maybe 6825 but it is dump from there.

Average entry is now 6950. Still hoping for a solid retrace. Another day of sideways movement though and I may just get out.

Closed at 7030 since I'm going to bed. Really unpredictable next ~12 hours. Feels like 6800 and 7150 are major breakpoints.

Weird day. Made some profit on a 7400 short but not sure here. Might just stick a short at 7520.

Note, you do get 10% off fees if you sign up through a referral link. Feel free to use mine: http://bitmex.com/register/BCCNeF , but even if you don't use mine, use someone's because it's 10% off fees, which adds up.

I kept seeing the Bitmex wrecked twitter thing and seeing mentions of leverage all over 4chan, but had absolutely no idea what it all meant. It also looked too complicated for me so I've always ignored it. Got bored today and it's actually much simpler than it seems. There's a ton of guides that go super in-depth and those made absolutely no sense to me, so I'm going to explain it from an idiot's perspective.

First of all, the draw of Bitmex is you can do what's called Leveraged trading. In the simplest terms possible, it means you multiply your percentage gains/losses. If you go 10x leverage long on bitcoin and bitcoin gains 1%, you gain 10% more money. This is super cool for impatient people like me because it allows you to trade more actively without getting wrecked by fees, and it's ridiculously exciting.



well
thank a lot for explanation
i hate bitmex for now .
its just like gambling.
better traditional trading ,i guess
also better you going to blackjack if u want quick money or quick burned.
