Ver. 1.5 Created: 6/7/18 Updated 5/9/18 1 I decided to create this guide as I found the whole BitMEX and margin trading process to be daunting and very confusing when I first started. I hope that this document can help people successfully trade and make profits on the BitMEX exchange, but more importantly I wrote it to stop people getting REKT by margin trading. First and foremost – I am no way near a professional on Margin Trading, Technical Analysis or Financial Advice! This guide is purely something I worked on to help me get a greater understanding of the features, functions and options the BitMEX exchange offers. If you found this guide to be helpful and you would like to sign up to BitMEX, please consider using one of the referral links I have listed below. The first referral link is my own. If you feel you would like to give something back to the author, use my referral link. The second referral link belongs to Vijay Sharma; he has created an incredible TradingView indicator called FOMO, which works extremely well with many coins on multiple timeframes. He has also taught me many of the lessons needed to compile this guide. I’ve added his link here as my way to say thank you to him. Whichever you choose - You should definitely use one of these links, as you will get a discount on BitMEX fees for the first 6 months of trading!
