The latest price value () in the browser titlebar has disappeared.
I use http://pwmt.org/projects/jumanji/ based on libwebkit.
It used to work just fine just a few days ago.
I've had the same issue with uzbl sometime ago.

you might message user tcatm on the forum or send a support email to bitcoincharts
hmm apparently he hasn't been online here since april. i sent an email.

DC, can you switch the bridge directly to the exchange
the same source which is being polled by coincharts?
https://www.bitfinex.com/pages/api
it seems they have the get method for trades

bitfinex promissed it's own websockets a couple of month ago,
i guess it isn't ready yet for some reason.

I'm talking about taking margin upfront as long as
tradable balance (aka leveraged free margin) allows
to cover the expected swap interest.

Suppose i'm holding a fully leveraged position (can't place margin orders),
knowing that i will be closing it and reentering the market at the later time.
Hence i'd like to secure some margin right away, while rates are still relatively low.

RIght now i have to place multiple tiny swap bids, clogging the order book and everything.

Or is there any other reasons why taking more margin than tradable bl isn't possible atm?
Essentially this is leveraging for swaps. I.e. the same 2.5:1 limit can be applied or not.

Okay, so you mean to take a swap before you need it, at a time when you're not yet able to use it, so that it's reserved at a low rate for when you want it?

I don't know; I suspect that's not something the system will let you do, but I don't see what the harm would be in allowing it. Might have the potential to be abused by someone seeking to manipulate the swap rate by taking up the cheap liquidity without any intent of ever using it - being able to keep up the fee payments is a much lower bar than having enough funds to back up a margin trade.

Although, if you want to take advantage of the cheap swaps that are available, you should be able to 'refinance' by cancelling your existing swap; it'll automatically take the cheapest offer to replace it.

Thanks. That's exactly what i have on my mind.

In order to prevent abusing the swap rates, the risk can be calculated and
leveraging limit can be set, the way it's done with margin trading.
Or just let the free market unfold its wisdom. Experimental.

How do you receive swaps with flash return rate?
My orders are just sitting there in unfilled swap demands.
Besides, i cannot take more than tradable balance
as if leveraging does no apply here as well.

Unless I'm mistaken, "Tradeable balance" should already include leverage.

Flash return rate can be selected from the little 'options' dropdown underneath where you enter a swap demand.

If the flash-return rate is the current lowest, it should also be taken automatically if you enter a trade without manually setting up a swap.

Can we have profit fixing in BTC?

Similar to the settlement, but the other way around.

That looks like the message DC was just taking about four csv files that are more then five days out of date.
Yes, but only these renamed files are like 10min out of sync max.
You don't experience csv.renamed files?

typically you'd either use a limit order above current market spread, or you use a "trailing stop" with a given relative distance.
Thanks for the explanation. Right.

But i'm asking about something completely different.
I believe they called -- Market if Touched Orders (MIT).

Quote
Market if touched orders are identical to stop orders,
except that they are used when the market price has already traded past the stop price,
and the trader only wants the order to be processed if the market price comes back to the stop price.

For example, if the market price is 1.3010, and the trader places a buy market if touched order with a price of 1.3001,
the order will only be processed if the market trades at or below 1.3001. If the order is processed,
it will be processed as a market order, and will get filled at the current best price.
Market if touched orders will trigger the opposite way than a stop order, so for a buy order,
the trigger price must be below the current price, and for a sell order,
the trigger price must be above the current price.

We could put these to good use!
