That archive page was captured at 26 Nov 2021 21:29:53 UTC. The page was updated earlier yesterday to include the new info on B.1.1.529. Take off the tin foil hats people. There are plenty of parties out there using Covid to nefariously further their own interests, but they are in plain sight...

Haven't stopped laughing at the fallout from this clustered fuckathon all day.

And is looking to cover.

Unless you're an institution, I fail to understand why anyone would want to use CME, CBOE, Bakkt etc to play the crypto markets. Interested in the notion of 3rd party clearing. Looked around a while ago but could only find OTC clearing. Mind you, it was a while ago.

And therein lies the rub. Not a chance I'm going to post the collateral required for $50M a day without first fully evaluating them. And I'm not paying the silly headline vigs they charge to evaluate them. Oh well. Guess I'll stay on the sidelines for a while longer. :banghead:

I've contacted a few of the exchanges with my estimated ADV and none have offered me anything except headline rates. :confused:

I already do substantial volume with the Merc and have leased memberships. Unfortunately though their BTC and ETH products are weak offerings. IMHO they've sized the contracts incorrectly, which has resulted in poor liquidity when you really need it. Coupled with the margin requirements, I...

Been watching the crypto derivatives space mature slowly over the last few years, but am amazed that exchange fees haven't altered. The standard +0.075% on notional for marketable executions is so ridiculously high it simply wipes out entire categories of strategies in one go. Why hasn't...

Possibly. But it runs fairly close to the basic functionality of most trading screens which expose an API, hence why I asked about existing products. You are right though, it might be just a little too far from the commercial offerings. I could code it myself, but GUI work isn't my speciality...

Market data being data generated by the market itself. At the lowest level individual transactions and orderbook updates. But the software will need to be able to import less granular data too (such as OHLC time bars). All my real-time trading is done by a suite of custom applications...

Spec is pretty much as detailed in this thread. Very basic stuff. Can be iterated upon later to improve. If you (like me) feel it's a hole in the market analysis space that needs filling then by all means knock up a demo and I'll provide feedback. I'm sure there'll be other strategy designers...

Yeah, the graphing capabilities of Excel are pretty good for doing basic stuff. But you can't easily change timescales, drag the x and y axis to compress/expand. I just want the very simple charting capabilities that every trading UI offers. It's a wheel that's already been been reinvented so...

Just looking for an application which simply renders price data onto the screen and lets me programmatically overlay graphical elements. Basically imagine any trading screen with all the bullshit tools (Gann, Fibs etc) removed, leaving just the barebones display of price. Only needs to offer the...
