Great opportunity to get long GBP on the majors here for an inter-month play. But surely not I hear you say...Boris will take the UK out of Europe without a deal and crash the UK economy! Me thinks not...

"For some, the answer lies on social media. Hedge funds and asset managers seeking an edge are training computers to scrape social media sites for triggers that could move the price of digital currencies." That's hilarious. They simply don't have a clue do they.

Stop to 9860

Short @ 9860. Stop @ 9890.

Keep going. This and its sister thread contain invaluable information. They will get you asking the right questions, which if you apply yourself correctly, will provide you with the Rosetta Stone which allows you to understand the language of the markets. NYSEStocks was extremely wise to wrap...

Hope some of you caught the move up off $9104 today. Got to love BTC, so predictable and accurate. Almost like clockwork. $9876 gave us a $1200 bounce. Wonder what we'll get out of this? Similar magnitude I think, but it'll have to be fast because I still think we have a hot date with $8448...

9104 hit. Who's getting long for the bounce?

Thumbs up for ZeroMQ. You might want to also look at https://nanomsg.org Not sure it fits your particular use case, but it's worth knowing about and has a variety of bindings. EDIT: Just been reading and disovered the Nanomsg project is now dead. Damn. I have a lot to catch up on.

Thanks for the offer. I've got a task list as long as my arm at the moment though. Getting back into the game after a few years, and I'm making some major adjustments to my operation this time around. Will be in touch when I get to the platform integration stage. Cheers.

OK. Stick me on the mailing list for the release comms please.

Interesting. Did you guys ever get round to releasing a .NET API. Before I took a prolonged break from the game I exclusively traded futures and was armpit deep in the Rithmic .NET binary API (which was lightning fast). EDIT: Just checked the website. Says it's still in beta...

Possibly, for short term intraday plays only. 10626 was more significant and the manner in which it failed tells an important story. I suspect we'll be seeing 8448 this week. That's another big decision price.

(BitMEX prices) Agree, 10626 is a very significant level. Looking at the weakness being currently displayed it will fail. Not enough short covering to yield any significant bounce...that tells a story in itself. Next levels after this are 9964 (minor) 9876 9104 There's another key level...

Just pointing out an undeniable fact. Makes me laugh how many people think 'this time it'll be different'. I'll keep using and abusing the mighty greenback until a better alternative exists.

Remember folks, every single fiat currency in history since Roman times has been devalued and eventually collapsed.

Thought as much. The platform smells of a rush to market. Exactly. Why fix something that ain't broke? From ShitMEX's perspective it's working just fine. Sorry, but that's still pretty piss poor. A reasonably simple lockless pipelined architecture should be at least an order of magnitude...

Because crypto at the moment represents an insignificant threat to them. If it becomes a bigger threat expect more punitive action to be taken. At the moment simple taxation suits them fine. The problem with crypto is that it's such a double edged sword. A libertarian dream...but the technology...

Exactly. How else could it function? No fundamentals, no commericals, pure speculation. The language of the markets is laid bare in XBT, with very little distortion. It's the ultimate market for a beginner to study and pick up the correct knowledge to then go and successfully trade other markets.

That's the million dollar question. We all want security, performance, leverage and low fees. Might experiment with Deribit. They have a legit rep. Book is thin but can work around that if needed.

Thanks for the insight. I'm not really interested in arbing/spreading. IMHO the real money is in directional plays, and the structure in XBT market behaviour is honestly the easiest to read I have ever seen. It's almost like clockwork. If a newbie wants to understand how markets really work...
