I wanted to try this famous bitmex levrage thing.
I opened long position with 10-25% and made 30%.
Wanted to sell so I clicked Market.
Did I just justed myself out of 30% profit?

So what did happen to my gains?

>> No.8285341

Start on the testnet, seriously people. You're fine, 70 of your contracts were opened at 9562, then you increased your position but when the price was a 2% higher, so it's not like you bought 270 at 9562, your profits get averaged down. Also, you probably didn't do what you think you did with leverage, try to spend some time understanding what margin means.

Also, to the right of "place order" there's a calculator.

I am trying, this time I opened long and opened short above to test it. Hopefully this time I will get my sweet gains.

Your gains haven't been stolen, go to account and you should be able to see your transaction history and see how much you made exactly.

While we're at it, help a brainlet out

I got filled 800 long at 9440 while the slider was "5x"
Some minutes later I sold all the 800 at 9700 and yet it seems i lost .023btc

Was it the fees that did this or does it have something to do with the "leverage slider"

>> No.8285590

5x leverage also means 5x fees... I don't even use BitMex... Fucking nu/biz/ is in the shitter

You're fine, the difference in value is where your profit comes from, a profitable long should look like that. Mess with the calculator if you want, profit or ROE positive? You did gud.

Why are you trading, and furthermore, fucking LEVERAGE trading if you're a retard?

You realise you're gambling right? Bitmex is a bucketshop based on an indian ocean island chain. They offer 100x.

Because you are a retartd and press market, there is a maker/taker fee structure...

The position being worth 0.1 BTC is not the same as putting down 0.1 BTC on your position. This cuck is done explaining this shit because I don't get paid for it, use the calculator.

I am just testing bitmex for the first time so I put $300 there.
I used $270, it went up, it showed +30% so I pressed Market and it seems like I didn't make 30% gains, more like 0% of anything.

This game where you try to insult people into giving you information is not going to take you far, contrary to what you may have been led to believe.

x1 contract
Almost no leverage.
Market didn't go up 30%
Why do you think you'll get 30% returns?

You got your leverage at x10. Meaning you borrowed their 270 and you put 27 contracts.

That's 27 dollars that you put at risk. 30% of 27 is 8 dollars.


You have to put 3000 contracts to make it an x10 position.

you put in the trade 0.0170 xbt = 166usd
price went up approx. 2.7%
2.7% out of 0.0170 is 0.000459
you had x5 leverage, so your profit is 0.000459 * 5 = 0.0022 (about 21 usd)

does this make sense to you?
