Fortunately the only way to harm shorts is to buy BitUSD... dump BTS on external markets... for them to settle at a loss.
But this is real market action and fair.Not agree.
What I need to do is:
1. Keeping dump BTS in external market, at the same time buy BitUSD in internal market. This will cause the BTS price fall. (I'm a whale, and have enough BTS)
2. After the price is down more than 5%(just a example) after 24 hours. I require a settlement in internal market, this will not make BTS price up (no market impact in settlement but only 1% price gap). I will get more BTS than before I buy BitUSD.
3. Buy BTS in external market, (maybe loss a bit BTS compared to before I sell BTS).
The chance is very big that the BTS I earned in step 2 is more than what I lost in step 3. Because In step 2 I will make no market impact with only 1% price gap. In step3 as the BTS price is already drag down by myself, I can buy cheap BTS, even if the price raise when I buy BTS back. It is likely the price will not raise to the price before Step 1.
If you have enough BTS to push the price down by 1% in 24 hours then you signaled your move when you purchased BitUSD above market and again when you requested settlement which would likely cause the market to fall before you can sell your BTS. Your gains on the BitUSD side would be offset by your losses on the BTS side.Did not get you. why the settlement will cause the market to fall Why I want to sell my BTS?
