Don't convert to fiat, cause when your gambling ego will reappear, you'd need to pay additional fees to convert your fiat back to bitcoin.
So better keep your btc on wallet so it's easy to deposit when you feel gambling mode again.

You may want to see here:
https://www.kimonolabs.com/bitcoin/correlator

Check "Gold Price" correlation.

What puzzles me is that BTC is more tightly correlated to "Google share price" Smiley Smiley

EDIT: and "highly anti-correlated" to "Bitcoin Repos on Github". So please stop creating repos Smiley

any way to get the same graphs on longer scale?

Speaking of manipulation, let's assume that this WhaleMan using these 10k swaps as manipulation tool and not actually used it for dumping,

Then, based on the swap graphs, my wild assumption that his average rate is around 0.11%
then we can see how much it costs for that whale to keep up with his manipulation game:

10 000*0.0011 = 11 BTC / day = around 3,9 kUSD /day

Just saying. It's not that super costly for him, considering he need to keep it only 1-3 days.

Comments about the plots per hour:

The first pair of plots (USD volume per hour) show a maximum of tradeing volume
around 15:00 UTC (09:00 Central US time,  23:00 China time)
and a minimum  around 03:00 UTC (21:00  Central US time, 11:00 China time).  This may indicate that
most of the volume at Bitstamp is due to European traders, or perhaps to a mix of American traders
and arbitragers with China.  Hard to tell.

The shape of the USD volume plots is the same for Jan-Apr and May-Sep, but the latter has been
only 200 k$/hour while the former was about 450 k$/hour.  Given the overal price drop over the
period, it seems that the BTC volume has changed little.

The second set of plots seems to say that the average price change is nearly indepependent of the hour of
day.  The ups and down seem to be just artifacts of the relatively small sample (273 days).  That is, there
are no "bullish hours" not "bearish hours".

The third set of plots (RMS price change) has a minimum around 19:00 UTC, which is  China slumber time.
This is consistent with the claim that the price changes have been mostly defined by the Chinese
exchanges.

However, that effect is quite clear only on the first four months Jan--Apr,
while from May--Sep the volatility seems to be much smaller and nearly independent of
the hour of day.  This could mean that China is no longer defining the price --- but then,
neither is the West.  Perhaps the big traders who define the price, in China or in the West,
now use autonomous robots that work 24 hours a day.  Maybe.


thanks

Can you give a criteria for the "hot topics"?

Also what do you think about function which could aggregate new posts from selected members (which I can choose by my own) and then divide it by topic?

Hello guys.

Is there any kind of bitcointalk + (possibly reddit?) digest which will collect the most important news/announcements/topics?
I really don't have time to browse all that new topics, and there is a lot of boards/stuff which I potentially missing.

Maniac readers, that's a straight business idea for you. If you'd have a really short but thoughtful digest of latest news (with links to the corresponding topics)
and if it would be possible to choose a sections (like altcoins, cryptotechnology news, main bitcoin news, major exchanges news , technical analysis, etc)

I really can even pay for such digest.

For example, I totally missed etherium IPO (not saying I regret it), could have missed most of discussion of that btc-e spikes to 300 & btc-e bots if not read reddit, fully missed that Bitsharex/BTC stuff, etc


TL;DR
some1 have to create a relaible bitcointalk+reddit digest with links and main headlines and sell subscription.

Any chance you could add drkbtc @poloniex to the "hidden" currency pairs (as in: currency pairs that are not in the menu, but can be accessed by URL)?
just saying: I'm not sure if "hidden" currency pairs currently exists.
checkout https://bitcoinwisdom.com/
afaik this page contains list of all implemented currencies (polo drk missing tho)

P.S. just noticed a bug on that page - volume for many altcoins @ mintapl shows as 0 (for example XC, NAUT and others)

can you implement a function which will "shrink" or "wide up" order book depth?
I've noticed you changed it to 2$ for main BTC markets, but I like to keep $5 threeshold (or sometimes $10)

it was possibly mentioned before, but altcoins bidwals somewhat counter-intuitive. I.e. price is in bticoins, but volume is in basic units. It's quite hard to udnerstand deepness of orderbook with that picture. Like is that 20000 altcoins good enough wall to protect this level?
Can you add to wish list the ability to "reverse" orderbook for counter currency?

To be said, BTC will fit more Smiley

I know it's all numbers in the head and just need to get used too, but we human used to "base values" currently there is 2 base values at your site: BTC and USD Smiley Well litecoin for the some extent (being used to that) but I guess you udnerstood the point.

I also udnerstand that it's will be very unstable orderbook, cause it have to be recalculated with each tick, but that could be possibly avoided if change recalc interval like 5 seconds or soemthing

thanks for adding up XMR.

I was thinking about idea for premium members - ability to filter out /sort out altcoins (or create own view) at the main page https://bitcoinwisdom.com

even though I'm not a premium member (sorry, sorry), I think that would be useful-and-not-so-hard-to-implement feature for them. perhaps small graph window similar to coinmarketcap or smth..

Please fix LTC/USD orderbook wall for BTC-e. I actually suspect same can be applied for all small cost currencies.

From example below, I have no idea what figure "8.0   4" in the bottom mean.
Does it mean that it takes 4LTC to breach price 8.0 ? Then it would make no sense, as the current price already below it.

You might say it's a temporary glitch on a thin orderbook but now as I'm writing it, price is
7.95025
whereas bottom is
"8.0     1"
"  9      2888"
"  8      12097"
...


So this "8" jsut don't want to dissapear. Actually I've seen numbers over 100 at this "8" at the bottom when price was below 8 already

Re: And we have another Bitfinex Hookey THIEVING Short Squeeze!
by
CoolStoryBro
on 25/06/2014, 10:20:10 UTC
Someone posted that the data they have shows a whole raft of orders being executed from $600 right through to $608.13. But that doesn't change the fact that my stop loss was just a shade above $600, yet never got triggered until the very top spike of those front-run and repackaged grouped together 319 BTC orders. that took price to $608.13, the exact price where my stop orders were triggered, taking me right away from break even territory and right into the red. It was only a small trade. It would only ever have been a small trade as my trust for Bitfinex evaporated quite some time ago. This is far from being the first time I have seen this sort of shit on this exchange.

My possible explanation would be like this:

buys below market price executes on priority over stop losses (which is quite logical)

I.e. if there is sell order 30BTC at 600 and sell order 20BTC at 602 and sell orer 10BTC and 608

your stop loss for short 6BTC position placed at 601

Now someone executes buy @599 for 52BTC

he got filled on priority as 30@600+20@602 +2@608
then stop losses start being filled

say there is only one stop loss and it's yours, then you will get 6@608

and there will be 2BTC sell order left @ 608


I don't know if this correct. But that could possibly explain why your stop took place so high.
However as long as there is no price log there, it looks really strange.

Perhaps they group prices in batches, but what are the principles for this grouping?
If such grouping exists, Finex should remove it to increase transparency for their customers.

So, instead admitting that Finex API have some flaws/bugs and not sending data to btwisdom correctly (as this seems the only reason for that strange behavior) AND providing proper data, Finex just coming up with that "hatter gonna hate" line?

And what about that "we will reward these 10btc to the traders which actually did these trades" - wtf is that? Why should you reward someone like this? I guess it was just a line to say that you don't need these money personally, but why to spend it to these 3rd parties? (I know these 10btc newer existed anyways, but still).

People posting there claiming that MTC is crazy and so on - while it could be fun to blame him, it explain nothing to the original topic.  

I also find surprising that there was no price data for the price between 600-608.
Even if there a bull which put a big 300BTC+ buy order at price 599 and lets say some sellers pulled their orders at 600-608 range, I still find it hardly believing that all 600-608 sell orders were pulled off.

The only logical explanation is that prices getting grouped before posting, but then it should be changed, for more transparency. And what are the rules of such grouping?

I don't think the people bidding on this auction are the type who want to get involved in market manipulation, or not at least for this tiny amount of money. Also I don't think the amounts involved are big enough to warrant market manipulation. It might not even be profitable let alone worth the risk of committing a crime.
Since when bitcoin market manipulation considered as crime? (and by whom? Smiley)

hey Poloniex. can you make a design change? move X asix on the graph to the right side?

Currently it's on the left and it's very hard to udnerstand current price and  indicator levels.

Ideally would be to have some "crosspoint" tool which will show price based on position of this "crosspoint". But I udnerstand that changing axis position could be way easier.

Just thinking: how can they "do this intentionally and maliciously for their own insider trading to profit off of customers".

How can they profit from it? I guess it's better for them to process your order and get commission?

No idea about coinbase service tho
