However, this time it's "different". 1 CME Bitcoin contract (short) was up $6,000 in one day (today).

Omigosh, on the Amibroker forums....all they do is give you links to unrelated issues as their "answers"....plus there is a lot of taunting and insulting going on there. STAY AWAY....It's a sleazy community IMHO....unlike the MC community...who act in a professional manner.

I've noticed that response-time on the Amibroker community forums is much longer than that on the MC forums.

Yeah, I see your point, but I'm not psyched at all about having to change all of my Easy Language code (which compiled perfectly into MC the first time !). I wish Amibroker would abstract their platform code so that all brokers APIs are supported without any special coding required.

Indeed....and it's volatility may just be it's undoing. How can it be used as a stable currency when the value is determined hourly and constantly changes ? So then the question is: What can it be used for ?

Really ? The issue remains a mystery...Why did the CBOE go the futures route instead of the options route which is their predominant trading vehicle...especially knowing that the CME Group would likely roll-out competitive futures contracts for Bitcoin ? Sounds like someone in the CFTC had a...

When is the last time that occurred ?

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/enjoy-bitcoin-while-you-can-2017-12-13 BTCUSD getting a little volatile at the $17k level.... can this go to $20k or is this the top ?

Uh....perhaps the $38,000 margin requirement for 5 measly bitcoins ?

Why in the heck did the CBOE initiate Bitcoin FUTURES and not Bitcoin OPTIONS ? Uh....aren't they the world's largest OPTION exchange ? And why are they front-running the CME Group's Bitcoin futures offering ? I understand that Bitcoin options are offered on other exchanges like LedgerX...but I...

Uh....this begs the question: what is the cost for mining ?

BTCUSD up 13% on the first day of futures trading. However, the CBOE shows that GXBT contract only up a fraction of that...WTF ? Can anyone explain ?

Wait....now up 1154 (7.90%).

Wild action in BTCUSD tonite....now up 884 (6.04%)..... Can't even log into the CBOE website....it's locked-up....

This is exactly what I was saying....Bitcoin cannot be an acceptable currency till it stabilizes like other currencies.

These are two important points. However, if banks start to allow deposits with bitcoins, then it should become acceptable currency. This also assumes the price will begin to stabilize to the point there is a posted exchange rate on a daily basis. Right now, the price is changing hourly. The...

Interactive Brokers has set the margin requirement for BTCUSD futures at 50%....which sucks. http://www.cmegroup.com/education/cme-bitcoin-futures-frequently-asked-questions.html Above are the CME Group's BTC Contract specs... noteworthy: Each contract = 5 bitcoins; minimum block trade size = 5...

Done....at a price of 25 @ 175 strike. AAPL2017A175-E

Yeah, that $200 price target will not be hit before 2020....IMHO.

One day does not make a bear market... any smart trader long in the morning would have stopped-and-reversed and made a handsome profit.
