I see we are back to putting up fake (temporary) walls up to hold the price down over the weekend again. Must mean somebody has money coming in Monday.
I vote to throw these bot-tenders overboard w/ no life vests for their crimes of annoyance and weekend warrior bullcrap. Let's continue the progress on Monday when the fun opens up again.

People are idiots. That's the only thing holding us back.
Cheesy
I stopped after that ... nothing more needed to be said or read. We'd be exploring other universes by now if the whole damn world wasn't full of idiots. Mind you, if we did explore them we'd probably just find more idiots and wonder why we bothered  Cheesy

Two things are infinite, the Wall Observer thread and human stupidity, and I'm not yet completely sure about the Wall Observer.

I guess BTC trade would be more expensive but I can say a normal cost for a short of that kind of short would be well under 5% more like 2 at most to open and close and that would be in the spread.   Your cost is over 9% ?  I guess its possible for a cutting edge deal but doesnt seem very competitive to me either

Sent them an email. Waiting on a response.
Hopefully I hear something tomorrow.

This may be a blessing in disguise. I was about to transfer a good portion of my savings into BFX.
If there is a glitch then at least the loss was minimal. Instead of loosing everything.

The laughter only makes the pain worse.

Someone has to have an idea whats happening?

Could this really just be BFX glitching out my money?
Id rather know I made some sort of mistake

apologies. Cheesy i have no experience of bitfinex so i cant really help.. have you contacted support? it could be related to the bug that caused loads of peoples accounts to open/close shorts/longs they didnt have or even have funding for.. im sure they will reimburse you if you contact them.

BFX just took ~160$ out of my account and I am trying to figure out why.
I shorted 7BTC at 244.5.
Then closed it at 242.
BFX took out the 160$ saying it was a swap cost.
Why would I be charged 160$ swap cost?
Its nonsense. Who would trade on margin if the fees were ~11%?

Anyone know what I am missing?

It depends on how long you held the position the % rate was on the 7btc loan. $160 seems very high. Contact support and they should be able to take care of it for you.
Not more then a couple hours

People are idiots. That's the only thing holding us back. We went to $1000+ two years ago, when Bitcoin was wobbling on a knifes edge and the leading star was a retarded frenchman who moved to Tokyo just to make the abbreviation of his stupid exchange make sense. Now, there is a whole industry backing it up. Every bank, insurance company, and financial institution are looking at ways to implement Bitcoin or blockchain technology and somehow a market cap of roughly a couple of billions is thought to be reasonable. If this doesn't go sky high rather immediately I will lose all faith in humanity. Maybe we should send some coins to Elon Musk. WS likes to pump his shit into orbit.
