    The OKEx margin trading disaster — how crypto margin trading goes wrong

    Posted: 10 Aug 2018 03:26 AM PDT

    David Gerard, author of Attack of the 50 Foot Blockchain: Bitcoin, Blockchain, Ethereum & Smart Contracts wrote up an article on the OKEx $415M+ margin trading disaster. I think it's a fairly good summary of the what went down and what OKEx is (not) doing about it.

    Article URL: https://davidgerard.co.uk/blockchain/2018/08/09/the-okex-margin-trading-disaster-doing-what-crypto-margin-trading-usually-does/

    From the article:

    The price of Bitcoin dropped 7% on Tuesday 31 July — and a large margin trade on Hong Kong's OKEx cryptocurrency exchange went so badly that the trader not only blew their margin, they lost more money on the trade than they had put up as collateral.

    (...)

    Obvious questions and comparisons:

    There are a number of obvious questions:

    • How did an order this size go through?
    • OKEx's terms of service for futures trading note that they can freeze accounts and liquidate positions as needed. Why didn't they?
    • What customer is so important to OKEx that they'll risk them breaking the system before they act?

    It's worth noting that we don't know anything about this customer. We don't have evidence they … exist. I mean, they probably do! I don't really think OKEx is defrauding people in this manner. We just have no evidence that this isn't OKEx applying a haircut to their customers. That's what "unregulated" means.

    Coinbase Exchange Reliability

    Posted: 09 Aug 2018 06:46 PM PDT

    Does anyone have any metrics comparing status.pro.coinbase.com (formerly status.gdax.com) to the actual uptime and issues? For example, trading BTCUSD (both webapp and websocket) is completely broken on Coinbase and it has been over an hour, and yet their status page has yet to update.

    For anyone working at Coinbase: do your internal tests simply not capture these problems? / has nobody noticed downtime/updated the status pages to reflect downtime that was missed by your internal metrics?

    This affects my own work and that of others. For example, I get alerts because their self reported status shows up as OK, so I can't verify that it is not my code that is broken until an emergency investigation.

    Cryptocurrency Arbitrage Opportunity Calculator

    Posted: 09 Aug 2018 12:52 PM PDT

    Dear investors,

    I opened few days ago a thread about my project but I think now that a presentation is necessary.

    I will present the project crossd.io and our first tool RTCA (Cryptocurrency Arbitrage Opportunity Calculator)

    About us

    We initialized the project Crossd few months ago with a simple objective : developing financial algorithms for cryptocurrencies market.

    We are two on this project, my friend who is a French Ph.D student in Computer Science and myself a Swiss student in master of Science in Finance. This project is done beside studies so it's not a firm but we are now pretty proud of the result and we hope you will appreciate it.

    RTCA

    Our first tool is RTCA for Real Time Cryptocurrencies Arbitrages which is a crypto arbitrage calculator platform.

    The platform allows you to overview, track and filter arbitrages opportunities in the cryptocurrency market.

    It also provides a step-by-step guide to exploit the arbitrage opportunity to make a profit.

    In terms of features, our arbitrage trading platform is able to retrieve in real time fees from exchanges (exchange,withdraw,deposit) and also withdrawal and deposit status. Arbitrages displayed are only arbitrages you execute right now.

    The platform is also capable to do triangular arbitrage so by unchecking exchanges (except one) you will see arbitrages on the same exchange.

    Our open pair mode allows you to make arbitrage with different initial / final cryptocurrency based on their USD/EUR value. (e.g. BTC->NANO->ETH with more ETH worth USD than your initial amount of BTC)

    We have an advanced mode in which you can specify manually the amount you have on each exchange and our platform will calculate the arbitrage with your amount and only display crypto arbitrages you can afford.

    After clicking on a cryptocurrency arbitrage, our platform will keep your position up-to-date and tells you in real time how much you will earn/loose even few days later.

    Finally, we have numerous filters to improve cryptocurrency arbitrage trading and we support for the moment 7 exchanges and more than 350 currencies. We will add new exchanges in the next days and each added exchange increase the arbitrages opportunities exceptionally so our 1'500 arbitrages in average will be really small in a near future.

    (Note: we are planning to create a web socket to let you automatize what you want)

    Restricted access

    This project is made for only few experimented investors because arbitrages opportunities are not infinite. We do provide a subscription plan in order to support the development of the platform and restrict the use of it. The prices are really low because our goal is not to generate tons of revenues (it would not be possible with this project) but only to receive a support from users they can earn back by using our platform. (It is the case now)

    Conclusion

    In conclusion, I am really grateful that you read this topic completely and very proud of this project .

    I hope you will like it as much as I do.

    We would love to hear your feedback or questions so don't hesitate really (really).

    We want to improve our tool and the only way is by getting your feedback.

    Nico
