I want to trade XBTUSD on the BitMex exchange. so I created an account with bitmex and linked it to my sierrachart username. thus I was able to get a bunch of available symbols from BitMex. but I couldn't find XBTUSD from the list. the closest I got was a symbol called XBT-BMI. its price movement does resemble that of XBTUSD, but it still differs quite a bit from XBTUSD. for example, right now XBTUSD is trading at 1802.1, while XBT-BMI is trading at 1793.4. and when I applied a volume study to XBT-BMI, it showed an equal volume of 6000 across the whole 5-minute timeframe chart. so basically please shed some light on, 1. how to find the XBTUSD symbol 2. how to get accurate volume for XBT-BMI 3. how to setup correct price display format and tick size for bitcoin symbols |
