Hi, recently I found this cryptocurrency derivatives trading platform which is really interesting.
They offer different products, most interesting to me is the bitcoin futures contract with leverage up to 100x.
Nice thing about this platform is the open orderbook, each trade is matched against a real trading counterparty not the broker,
so the spread is made up directly by ask and bid offers from its participants. I think this helps to eliminate or reduce the conflict of interest between trader and broker.
With rising liquidity and popularity of cryptocurrencies these products could offer, in the near future, an additional serious opportunity for traders.
There's a testnet (demo) version too to try it out: https://testnet.bitmex.com/app/trade/XBTH17
To get testnet bitcoins you can use a testnet faucet like this one
BitMEX Site:
https://www.bitmex.com/
You can register and start trading without ID verification because everything is settled in bitcoin, as far as I know.
They don't accept U.S. customers though.

(Hope this is not against the rules, if so, please delete this thread as I do not plan to become a commercial member)
Posting it here to let you know, maybe there are more crypto geeks and bitcoin fans around here other than me

IMHO one of the killer features of BitMEX:
EDIT: "liquidity price" should be "liquidation price"
Basically when you open a position you can assign an isolated margin and custom leverage to met the liquidation price of your choice.
Good thing to have something similar to guaranteed stops on volatile markets like bitcoin.
Of course this has also a downside because the exchange could be exposed to systemic losses/gains.
In case of this rare event, there's an insurance fund and the Auto Deleveraging mechanism (ADL).

Hmm. Cryptocurrency that managed to fall from $1000+ early November to ~$50 today and total capitalization about 20mln. I'd rather wait. {image}
Up over 10% now.

{quote} So did Bitcoin and Bitcoin went back. Watch this one carefully
Bitcoin was not $1000+ right after deployment and did not lost 99.99% . I understand that developers got few pennies. Not sure about rest of us
I am watching quite few cryptocurrencies and keep waiting for Zcash security audit.
