Fail.  You obviously don't comprehend leverage, short positions or margin requirements.  Your post solidifies the fact that you are one of the kids that have no clue what they are doing.

You are really, really, a COMPLETE idiot.

"Depositing Bitcoins is equivalent to opening a long position of BTCUSD." -zhoutong

He deposited bitcoins, and held a long position, while prices fell. He then got a margin call. Long position. No shorting. None.

I know what I'm doing. I also know you are a complete, complete idiot.

+1  if you trade on margin you better know what you are doing.  anytime you fall below the minimum requirements, your broker will automatically eliminate the risk on your behalf.  If you don't trade on margin, you will never have this problem.

I feel sorry for OgNasty talking about things he has no clue about. You know he's just going to keep posting his idiot position until he loses everything.

There is no shorting if you deposit BTC. You automatically take a long position if you deposit BTC. You're welcome.

I feel sorry for all of the kids shorting bitcoin that don't have any clue what they're doing.  You know they're just going to keep adding to their short positions until they lose everything.

I actually learned a lot from the $1 Zhoutong gave me to play with on bitcoinica.  I do think the interface is kind of confusing.

Is this your first time using margin?  Did you think Bitcoinica was going to expose themselves to infinite loss on your behalf?

Same difference, they actually sell your BTC on market price to make back the money they lost on you, they're just 'settling your debts'.

No, not margin call.

I am talking about the BTC balance.

It's a margin call. This is how the big boys play.

I did that, and they closed my BTC balance...

Without warning.

In fact I was not even informed, I found out after logging in today.


So, keep a eye on your USD balance, bitcoinica might without warning or even informing you, force the sale of your BTC, at crap prices even...
