(Pic related) Bitcoin is ready to visit some lows in a while. I will be ready. I will be executing a 2.3 million dollar short. I have shorts lined up every dollar from 9426 to 9500, each with 10,000 dollars.
I have more lined up above 9550 to complete the other million.
With this position size I could care less if it goes 9600+ I have more shorts there.

Into my fucking asks Lol yes please snipe my 10k asks haha
Cooper Moore
What's your target? How low do you think we're going, and what's your reasoning behind it?
Gabriel Bell
Always do the opposite of /biz.
Board filled with fear and bears -> buy. Board filled with moonboys and bulls -> sell.
Jordan Fisher
How can you afford to put 1.2 mil into a short op?
and why would you do it with BTC?
Aiden Long
2.3MM is not a lot on bitmex. lol
Austin Young
We're slowly breaking bullish structure, momentum is waning, sub 10k double top. Only thing holding us is shorts covering. I'm closing some at 8400, some at 8200 and the rest at 7800 if we even get there. Let's see how that method works out this time. Bitmex I dont really know how much leverage I'm using, it's cross. How much do you trade with without getting liquidated?
Noah Cook
cross is 100x
yeah I'll probably be scaling in at 8.8
Aaron Hall
How are you so rich?
Tyler Cruz
i have plenty of coin on BitMEX so for me I don't need leverage, more worried about liquidity issues. Cross just means that you have your entire account as collateral. You can see your leverage on the leverage slider as with inverse contracts it will adjust dependent on if you're ITM or OTM. I'm surprised you don't understand how the platform works if you're trading with hundreds of thousands. huh.
Sebastian Clark
You seem to be the smartest about trading here nice to have a convo with you Buying bitcoin in 2017
imagine paying tons of fees on a massive short only to see btc go sideways
Gabriel Harris
It adjusts leverage as price moves with or against you. It starts with 100x. You'll see how it adjusts on the position panel.
Joseph Perry
Imagine getting paid even when it's sideways because of funding and I guess you don't know you get paid if you use limits and not market orders.
Isaiah Cruz
i see thanks for the reply ... still don't get why and how it exactly adjusts the leverage
especially if it goes your way when shorting > down ... whats the leverage it uses? x5 x3 x10?
if it goes up it'll use your balance AND/OR increase the leverage as in isolated margin? x7 ... to x100
funding is still positive longs pay the shorts ... and everytime its saucy, longs bow out roughly 3hours in advance until the very last 10 minutes ... next up is a spike up to collect the massively leveraged shorts that thought they could get away with free funding lol (i always use the free ride down)
You have no confirmation. You are dumb. This last dump was purely to liquidate margin longs and let shorts refill. Which clearly it did. So you will see what happens next.
Jack Barnes
Yes. This position is for a while, so I'll collect some later. What happens next? I guess thats why I also set some more asks above? Because it's gonna go up? MAYBE? Idk maybe I'll add more to my short here.
Colton Torres
You should not be shorting in this current market
Jason Evans
Make sure to fill my bids with your panic shorts at the bottom
imma be honest no I dont understand how you get paid while shorting I supposed these contracts are connected to fees? the longer you hold, the more you pay in fees?
so either you already made profits because you spread out your contracts like in the pic and thats what you mean, or I just dont know.
