Haha, combining with Bitmex's index may be a good idea. But it will definitely take some time :-). BTW, someone will make the market for our longer term vanilla options.
I've been putting straddles on with the vanilla options, but your still in the stone age re: margining, and charging me 2x what is necessary. Thus my positions are only 1/2 what they should be. Your commissions are 1/2, and my returns are 1/2 what they should be. Market making is good. Hope you get to sorting out the margining as well. |

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

Thank you for all these suggestions. BTW, the market maker seems to have decreased the spread again. Also there is liquidity for monthly and bi-monthly vanilla options now. We still need a market maker for the half-yearly vanilla options and binary options.

Nice to see extra liquidity
I actually thinks the spreads could be a bit bigger but that could be due to market uncertainty.
It also looks like some of the bots are updating a lot more.
Also I actually never looked at the dates. It's really weird. You didn't line up the longer contracts.
You have vanilla options that expire on both 08/30 and 08/31

Looks halted. Can't submit orders and quotes look stale. |

Things looked a little scary a few hours back, when the crash was happening - I wasn't sure if limit orders I'd tried to place were lost or placed. I'm still having problems with the open positions list - when I scroll down it it goes blank and displays the "loading" screen. Sometimes it loads, other times I can "trick" it into loading by slowly scrolling up and down until something "catches" and the next batch of positions loads.
Related to that - could I make a "feature request" for the ability to download open positions? I keep a spreadsheet myself, but being able to easily cross-reference what I think I have against what you know I have - that would be really useful.
That said, I've been really impressed with Coinut to date (and I'm not just saying that because I'm showing a profit!)

Andy here's a glitch, can you take a look?
I'm trying to close some short positions in vanilla call options. The options are deep out-of-the-money so I try to 'close' the position with an order to buy for 0.000002, but I get a message that "Invalid Price: Price cannot be smaller than 0.000001"
I increased my price to 0.000003 and 0.000004 and still get the same error message. I'd like to close these positions so that I can free up my margin.

This should have been fixed. Please check. Thank you for reporting it. |

Going on a 48 hour wait for my latest withdrawal...last one took 12+.
Love the ability to play the options market, but non-automated/long wait withdrawals are a huge red flag. I'm done.

Sorry for the delay. Just processed your withdrawals. The reason we process them manually is to make sure we will not be hacked. We may use service like BitGo to automate the process in the future. |

I totally respect manual withdrawals for security reasons...but I get really jumpy when I hit withdraw with no acknowledgement for an indeterminate amount of time. Maybe autosend an email saying "withdraw request received. Withdrawals are processed manually within (defined time frame). Contact support if it has not been received by (defined future time)" or something like that... |

Not sure if this is just a coincidence, but it has happened 20+ times to me in only a few days. The swings I experienced are statistically unlikely compared to the market history. Almost every time I buy only a few contracts for the 30 min binaries, like 5-15 contracts, I make money. Once I start putting major money into the contracts, say 100-200 contracts all spread out, the market price seems to swing completely out of the money for me. Again, may just be coincidence, but the statistical analysis says the 30 min market maker is manipulating the index. A prior post mentioned that the staff was looking into an alternative, third party price index. Has any progress been made on this front?

No, no one can manipulate the price. The index is the average of bid and ask prices of Bitfinex and Bitstamp. |

As some of you suggested, we need to build a community to make trading easier and more interesting. So we just added a chat box. It's right now minimalism, but will evolve it continuously. If you have any good suggestions, please let us know.

Nice. I remember suggested that. If it gets busy you might want to appoint some moderators. |

Guys, the market maker has decreased the spread of the 30-minute binary options very significantly.

Guys, the market maker has decreased the spread for 30-minute binary options to a almost negligible number.
