Bitmex XBT trading strategy

[PavelBTC]

Hi!
Help me please with a rookie question - Why commissions on BitMex is 0? Can I set it by myself (preferable not using custom code)


Thanks in advance!

Hello PavelBTC,
Thanks for your post.

You can set the commission from the Control Center>Tools>Commissions and then creating or configuring a commission template to the amount you would like. Then you apply that template to the account you are trading.
Help Guide - Understanding Commissions

As far as why the strategies profit it so high, I am unsure and would need more information. It is likely your specific strategies logic.

Thanks, man!
One more thing - I cant figure out how can I buy less than 1 BTC. I've tried setting Quantity to 0,00005 in EnterShort, but it still shorts with qty 100.

Unfortunately, you can't use decimal values for order quantity in NinjaTrader. There is already an active feature request for support of decimal order quantities, so I will have your vote added. Why it is defaulting to 100 I am unsure.
