Already asked. But I'm sure the cause is not on their side. The only problem I ever got with bitcoincharts when they started to check HTTP Referer (so I couldn't just hotlink the chart).

you should ask bitcoincharts

Hey guys, why bitfinex chart on bitcoincharts.com stopped working just exactly the same moment when you enabled your DoS-protection?

I do the same in a moderately automated way (copy/paste swap details into a spreadsheet, it takes care of the rest), and while it does vary a bit around the actual figure each day, I get closer than 14-15%.

All I'm doing is amount*duration*rate*0.85 for each swap though, so... not sure where errors would be creeping in for you.

How do you handle accumulating errors between days? For mine, I keep a running total of how much I've been wrong by, and add the error for each day onto that total so that I can adjust for it and, in effect, start each day from zero. Some days it's a little over, some days it's a little under, but the overall total error has mostly corrected back towards zero over long enough spans of time.

No, just got a hundred emails from cron.

obviously he made a big loss in a trade (or his wive cheated him) 

Thanks! That makes a big difference. I like safe investments over trying to win big by trading. I get too emotional about such things.

yep you're correct... I did a feature request to the bitfinex team and they already implemented it, I missed it and have to do some recoding... working on it

EDIT 20:06 UTC Should be synched again.

Very Nice feature, BFXDATA!!! Been waiting for this a long time!
Is it possible though that there is a bug or that the data stream stopped? The graph halts at 16:44 for me? Can anybody else confirm? If not this might be a personal incompatability with my browser.



The former.  

EDIT: Oh, and a feature request from my side for BFX. It would be very nice of you to implement some kind of counter that shows outstanding swap payments for the day. I try to calculate my expected swap payment for every day and almost everyday it's either up to 14 % lower or 15 % higher than expected. No idea what I'm doing wrong and not many sources I see for possible mistakes. I have of course included the 15 % fee you take. I'm not sure whether there is possible intra-hour churn but that should almost never matter for me and is definitely not the reason.

I am not a trader and have no skills at all as it relates to that so please excuse what might the a dumb question. Is the interest rate on liquidity swaps accrued hourly but credited daily or is it accrued for each 24 hour period? I am lending in BTC if that helps.

This is a reproach, not a future request. Now I have to fix my software just because they are too skiddy to protect their website from another skiddies without using Web 3.999 shit-tastic SaaS technologies, and there is nothing to be proud of.

[ironic mode]nice tone of voice to do a feature request... [/ironic mode] if I were the bitfinex team i'm not sure If I were to consider your request...

Could you please disable your JS-based Incapsula DoS-protection on https://www.bitfinex.com/pages/stats ? I don't want to run selenium just to download one fucking HTML.

thanx bjornw, AMAZING chart )

@bitfinex: YOUR TURN, make an api call of it please (as websocket of course)
and until that is done: thanks for providing that data to bjornw, very nice, i assume you do so because implementing it as api will take a while, so - nice move of you!

Currently there is no api call. The bitfinex team provides me this data directly. As it is their data, I don't think it is appropriate for me publish the information on how to access it. I leave providing that information to the bitfinex team.

hy!
great, thanx!
what is the api call for the swap transaction data?
thx

Hi all,

Just like to share a little update on bfxdata.com. I have just finished a little project I've been working on. I've added 3 new pages to bfxdata.com: Live Swaps for USD, BTC and LTC. The new pages wil give you a real-time view on bitfinex Swaps. So no more highest demand / lowest offer as an indicator of what the current Swap rates might be, but charts based on actual Swap transactions taking place between swap provider and margin trader. Just check out the pages and I think it will be more or less self explanatory when you see them. If not, do let me know. Big thanks to the Bitfinex team for providing me with the swap transaction data!

regards Bjorn

You did reveal information about his balance, arguing over whether it was the exact balance or not is quibbling.

I agree with most of what you said, but I am glad that BFX is getting a PR rep and hope that you will limit your outbursts and let them do more of the talking in future, as it's clear you aren't able to overcome your ego or admit that you are wrong very easily. In this case, revealing private information about a customer, even one that is as much of a butthurt whiny bitch as MTC has been, is wrong.

Edit: PS, thank you for the info on stop losses, such as it is.

Stop loss orders are executed following a "best offer available" rule.
If a big market order comes in and empties the ask side causing slippage there is not much we can do.
This is about as much as I can disclose about it, giving more details on how it works will incentivize manipulation.

Our orderbook has been gaining a lot of "thickness" in the last month, proving that our choice to create a "market maker market taker" model was the right one.
Nevertheless some customers like to move the market by placing big market orders and there is not much we can do about it, this happens in every trading market ( bonds, stocks, currencies, pork belly....) and books have been written on bear and bull traps.

I never ever met a trader that was successful in 100% of his trades, this is part of the game and we all have to accept it.  
Some people do and try to learn from their mistakes, some others don't and throw mud at us, telling us we are cheaters.

Now, if somebody was coming to your shop, using your service and accusing you of rigging the market wouldn't you try to expose the ridiculousness of his accusations?

You see, I believe Bitfinex has been outstanding ( at least compared to its peers ) when it comes to customer service.
Raphael constantly reads this thread and implements every request made by customers that make sense, and numbers are showing that the market is acknowledging this.
We are now the first "non zero fees" trading platform in the BTC/USD pair and as stated several times I will try all I can to defend our reputation against false accusations.
If we get hit under the belt I might strike back, what's at stake here is much more important than my reputation to be a good PR guy ( which I'm not ) or politically correct ( same as above).
I believe you all, as customers, should cheer my defense because what's at stake here is ultimately your hard earned coins.

For all the above mentioned reasons I don't think I should apologize ( I would do it without problems, as I already did in the past in this very same thread).
I didn't reveal the identity of anybody or the correct balance of any account.
I just pushed away a hassler by exposing the shallowness of his size, fighting against a potential danger to our platform reputation.  

You might disagree with me, but that's how I think.

Peace and love.

Thanks a lot for reading me and have a wonderful day
