Hello everyone,

with all respect to you guys, many of your replies show that you guys are new to trading and do not understanding "shorting" concept.

I really want to hold 10 bitcoins in one account and be short 10 bitcoins in the other.
So when price against USD fluctuate, one account will appreciate in value and the other will depreciate that means delta neutral.

I want to use advanced strategies which I will not reveal here.

So far I came across bxcamp, they promised I can short BTC as soon as their volume is 2000 BTC per day.

So we'll see.

Another thing: If I borrow 1000 bitcoins today and return them in 30 days, I will not be "screwed" because if bit coins goes thru the roof as someone said. How come? Because I will not sell those bitcoins. I will always hold 1000 bitcoins :-)
I'm not taking directional risk. :-) There are other ways to trade and profit :-)

Hi,
is there a way on MTGOX API to get a list of my own closed (executed) orders?

This API fetched a list of my open Orders:
https://mtgox.com/api/0/getOrders.php

But I want to see orders that have been completed and at what time and what price.
I feel like the API is useless if I can't do that.

Is there a way? I can't find it, please help me,
Thanks!

Escrow will not help, unless you want to hold the coins in there for 90 days.
After 90 days, I believe PayPal transactions can not be reversed.

:-) good joke. haha.

I need to be short because I want to hold say 10 bitcoins and short 10 bitcons, so I want to be delta neutral.

Any other more serious suggestions?

I could borrow bit coins for 30 days and pay an interest. Any good lending service out there?

Do you guys know any reputable service where I can short sell bitcoins?
I am not bearish, I just want to hedge.
I was searching hi and low in google but did not find any service that offers that at this moment.

Thanks!

Hi,
I am a programmer with 20+ years of experience. I'm interested in arb strategies and market making to provide more liquidity for bitcoin exchanges.
I have strong background in computer science and have worked for major investment bank in NYC. I've developed an option trading system for them. 
I've spent years developing my own Forex trading strategies and bots.
Currently I'm working on a trading software for Bitcoins.
I'm asking to to white list me, I will not ask stupid questions or try to scam people.
Thank you!
