Save on BitMEX fees with this coupon. BitMEX fees are much
higher than on conventional exchanges because the fee applies to
the entire leveraged position, not just your margin. For market
trades fees are 0.075% of your position. So total fees on a $1,000
trade with 100x leverage are $150 [100 x $1,000 x 0.00075 x 2]. Fees
are 15% ! By signing up with this link will will receive two benefits: 1.
A 10% discount on the BitMEX fees 2. You will receive your own
Affiliate Link which you can use to generate a passive income. The
BitMEX Referral scheme pays out over $100 million annually and is
the biggest secret in crypto.

c) Those who sold their portfolios for USD and shorted Bitcoin
and ALTs though the first Half of 2018 made an additional
fortune to the one they made in the run-up to 8 January.
So who was taking the greater risk, the HODLers or those who
made the effort to learn how BitMEX works and how to Short
on low leverage?
= $1,184.50
This is the maximum you can lose. You lose the entire
amount should the price fall by 10% from $11,670 to $10,500. If
the price was to crash to $5,000 your loss is still limited to
$1,167 which is the value of your Initial Margin.
Again, as with the Long, your profit can exceed 100% by orders
of magnitude. (Profit is unlimited with Longs, but there is a
theoretical maximum limit with Shorts which is the profit when
the price has fallen by 100%, as the price cannot fall further and
become negative.) Your loss is limited to 100%, however much
the market rises.
This asymmetry (unlimited profit, limited losses) is the beauty
of the BitMEX Limited Risk contract, which is a BitMEX
innovation. Trading Futures Contracts on the CME or CBOT, for
example, there is no such limited risk facility. With standard
futures contracts the Exchange will Margin Call the client for
Maintenance Margin to supplement his Initial Margin when the
price approaches the Bankruptcy Price, and you can lose a lot
more than your Initial Margin. So you would get a Profit/Loss
Scenario like this for a Long:
Example:
Calculate total fees on a $1,000 trade with 100x leverage. i.e you
pay $1,000 Margin to open a $100,000 position.
Total Fees = 100 [leverage] x $1,000 [Margin] x 0.00075 [Rate
for Market order] x 2 [Entry + Exit] = $150
Fees are 15% of your $1,000 trade in the example. Why pay 15%
for market trading when BitMEX pays you 5% for trading with
Limit Orders? (An additional benefit of Limit trading is that
your trading is likely to be less frequent and more disciplined
and profitable.)
Note that fees for market orders have a massive effect on the costs
of trading at high leverage, less so at low leverage. Use Limit orders!
The most you can lose is the Cost: 0.005 BTC = $50. You lose
that if the market price falls 33% to the Liquidation price of
$6,693.
When you press Buy Market, this confirmation screen pops up.
Your order is not placed until you confirm Buy in this screen.
Risk Management
I suggest these practices in making your first few trades.
1. Deposit a small amount into your BitMEX account so that
even if you screw up you know the most you can lose. Maybe
0.05 BTC?
2. Concentrate on the XBTUSD Perpetual Swap and
become familiar with it. It is the most heavily traded market.
Starting out, ignore all other markets including the Bitcoin
Futures, the Bitcoin Upside and Downside Profit Contracts,
and the Altcoin Futures.
3. Set the leverage at 2x, 3x or a maximum 5x using the
Leverage Slider Bar. n.b. Do not select Cross on the
Leverage Slider Bar. This exposes your whole equity balance
and is risky.
4. Setting up your first trade, the field to pay particular
attention to is Cost. This shows the maximum that
you can lose. The cost must be less than the Available
Balance.
