Hi all, We have completed support for BitMEX DTC data and trading (both testnet and production mainnet). To use the service, register at http://www.bitsouk.com, then register your BitMEX API key(s). Please report any issue with the service on this thread. OKCoin support is almost done and could be released shortly if there is a strong demand for it. BitMEX was much easier to bind due to the superior design of their API. Edit: The Sierra Chart team kindly agreed to provide Sierra Chart for free to use those services! - Reddit post: https://redd.it/3obvw7 - Bitcointalk thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1205877.0 Date Time Of Last Edit: 2015-10-11 19:44:17

Feel free to make a posting on the Sierra Chart Support Board about this. Also it is important to let everyone know, that Sierra Chart can be used for free with your service. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2015-10-11 03:58:23

We would like to maintain historical price data for BitMEX DTC. Do we need a BitMEX API key for this? Once this is set up, we will point Sierra Chart to use our own historical data server for BitMEX. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2015-10-19 05:44:33

No you don't need one.

Hey. Since you're at it, is there a way so that all bitcoin symbol data you handle could be provided for Bitsouk ? So I could focus on implementing trading support for additional exchanges. It would be great.

https://redd.it/3ovs0t BFX just added websocket. I'm keen on adding it to Bitsouk. Would be great that you handle the data feed so that I can focus on trading! :)

The thing you have to know is that settlements at BitMEX happen at 12 UTC.

Hey. Since you're at it, is there a way so that all bitcoin symbol data you handle could be provided for Bitsouk ? Not right now if we are required to program to the different data feeds rather than using DTC.

But for "Bitcoin Services" you use DTC internally anyway, right?

Yes we do. So certainly we can interface to a Bitcoin data feed that uses DTC.

I was talking about data you already have, i.e. bitfinex data. Basically I'd like to provide trading support for services you _already_ have in Bitcoin services. The data would be the one you serve in bitcoin services, and I would handle the trading part. Can we do this? Date Time Of Last Edit: 2015-10-20 09:05:45

Yes of course. This is no problem. This is one nice thing about DTC, it is so flexible with what we can do with it.

Great. So how could we proceed with this? If you really plan to integrate BitMEX data into Bitcoin Services, then we could just use Bitcoin Services for the BitSouk data feed and I handle the trading part.

Just simply let us know when you are done with the trading part and we will set it all up on our side. We can first start with BitMEX.

Ok, so here is what I suggest: You integrate BitMEX in Bitcoin Services and as soon as it is done, you switch the data feed of Bitsouk to use Bitcoin Data services. For my side I start adding the bitfinex trading funtionality. Is there a way for me to have the address of the bitcoin data services to develop? Date Time Of Last Edit: 2015-10-20 12:19:41

Use the DTC Protocol server: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_DTCServer.php You also need to keep in mind you will need to do some symbol mapping for the Bitcoin symbols because the Sierra Chart Bitcoin symbols have the exchange name added at the end of the Symbol.

Hi, I just registered for the private beta invitation in the hope of using this to get the Kraken feed into my Sierra Chart. I read a post here on the Sierra forum, or somewhere on the web that this is in the works. Well, please consider this as an upvote for supporting that exchange as I didn't see that option available in the Exchange section of the bitsouk.com site.

Hi Rico, If it's just the datafeed that you want it might be not too hard to get it working. Trading is more tricky since Kraken don't support websocket. I'll see with SC if we can provide Kraken data. Happy new year! Best, Vincent

At the moment I do not want to trade with Sierra yet. I'm only interested with charting it for the sake of researching. The Kraken website is perfect for my trading needs. Thanks for considering.

I'm resuming the work on Bitsouk. Only BitMEX will be supported (others are trickier to implement and I prefer achieving perfect success on one that partial support of several), new BitMEX order types will be added.

Sounds good. Just let us know when we can start market data collection so that Sierra Chart can serve the real-time data and maintain historical data. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2016-03-19 01:25:36

Good. I'm working on this now and I'll make you know when it's done.

DTC: Do you think we need the indices or just the traded instruments? So far I also downloaded data for the indices (i.e. BitMEX do settlements against the TradeBlock XBX index which indexes major Bitcoin exchanges). I think I should keep them and provide data through SC. Your thoughts?

Yes. Both.
