It is unfortunate that btsbots provide incorrect price feed for bit20. This makes the use of bot for bit20 very difficult. If you could collaborate with @alt to help him fix this, running bot on bit20 would be sweet.

I have just started using the dex and would like to know what bot you use. I use bots on polo and bittrex but I am unfamiliar with what is available on the btsdex

Bit20 - The cryptocurrency index fund [2017/06/21 - revision]


 
On the 21st day of every month, Bit20 runs an algorithm that creates its new composition. By this process, it always includes the most promising coins. Some coins appear in the index and others disappear. Some of them gain weight and other lose some of it. This new composition swap with the previous one without any disturbance of the index price.
 
We have run this operation yesterday. Here is the new composition of the Bit20 Index Fund:

On the 21st day of every month ...


I strongly suggest not include BTS in the Bit20 index forever, otherwise no one will short Bit20. @EstefanTT and you should announce In the website.

There is already a lot of markets trading against BTWTY. Part of these coins will be in the index itself but it's not a problem. The coins in the index can't have a big impact on it, the maximum you could have is 10% weight in the index.

If we would remove BTS from the index, we should also remove these coins :

BTWTY : BTS
BTWTY : OPEN.ETH
BTWTY : OPEN.STEEM
BTWTY : OPEN.BTC
BTWTY : OPEN.DASH

BTS price can indeed influence slightly BTWTY, so does the others coins. But in any case, this effect will be substantial.

It's important to keep BTWTY as "pure" as possible. Any rules added to it increase its complexity. So far, I find it perfect just as it is.

The top 20 blockchain projects. We only remove centralised entities (Ripple) and derivatives (cryptocurrencies copies of fiat, metals, ..).

Can bit20 be force settled yet?
When it launched it couldn't be has that changed.

I don't see how it can keep its peg unless you have the ability to force settle?

Hi Jonny, yes you can force settle! It has been changed and announced in this thread in February ;)

Market settings changes

Hello dear traders and investors,

Bit20 has been evolving nicely since it's inception in December 2016. We are happy to observe that traders are buying and selling much higher than the "theoric" index price.

Why is that ?

Well, simply because they saw what Bit20 has performed very well in the last 18 months and deduce they can buy it even with a 50% premium, it's still a good investment with lots of potentials.

This market has been created with some very specific settings. These settings have been adjusted before the market was born.
Now that we have seen the price stabilising around 140% of the theoric asset price, we can adjust the market settings to fit better its trading environment.

2 changes:

The MSSR: When a shorter have its collateral falling below 175% of the price feed, a margin call will happen. A buy order will be automatically created in the market to buy back its undercollateralized asset(s).
This process guarantee that all smartcoins on the BitShares decentralised exchange are always well collateralised.

The MSSR is set at 110% at the moment. This would be good for gold or dollars because they are traded close to the price feed. No need then to buy back much higher.

In our Bit20 market, the asset is traded around 140% of the price feed. A buy back at 110% wouldn't be bought anytime soon. We will increase this value progressively until it reaches a value where it can be bought. It will be somewhere between 120% and 140%

What does it change for you concretely?

Really not much.

For the buyer, nothing at all.

For the shorter, you still can borrow BTWTY with the usual 175% collateral, the only difference is the price of the margin call if your collateral falls under the limit. If you are aware of what you do when you short BTWTY, that limit shouldn't be reached. If it is, the price you will be margin call will probably be around the one you sold and maybe cheaper, the spread is still wide. We won't raise this value until the point it is discouraging shorters, our goal is to incentive as many as possible!

Second change. After receiving some requests, we will enable the force settlement setting.
This option allows anyone with BTWTYs to force the market to buy the asset(s) they own at the price feed. The fact that this market is traded much higher than the theoric price feed make this option irrelevant because it's  easy to sell at a better price than the price feed. 

In order to let everyone consider this information, we will wait for 48h before operating any change.

Happy trading!

I have buy orders on the BTWTY:bitUSD market. I will gradually try to buy €3k worth of BTWTY

If the price rises 300% per year on average, and you bought at 2 x feed price, you will need to wait approximately 8 months, and you can force settle your Bit20 to receive as much BTS as you once invested.
You can also put up a sell order at the same premium you paid. I'm sure someone will pick it up. I will buy it from you if you sell it at 1.5 x price feed.




I dont think your post is funny, this is a real issue, its not about what you would buy when get it cheap, DEX this is not a used car-dealership..this supposed to be a market where one invest and risk his hard earned money, I would rather go to poloniex and buy all 20 individually  and sell for market price, before I have to sell for much less because I need money or need cash to buy e.g. Dash, what about that idea?

I wish you a low premium and a lot of fun !

You could build your portfolio copying BTWTY and you would be able to buy and sell it at the price feed (each coin at the time). It would be a lot of work but it would work perfectly. You will also have to rebuild your portfolio every month when I do the revision. That's exactly why we have created BTWTY, to avoid this painful experience so people can buy it and forget about it as long as they want.

The option of buying it at a premium in the DEX and sell it later profit with hopefully the same of higher premium is the good one in my opinion. I now it's frustrating not knowing which will be the long-term premium BTWTY. Nobody can predict these things. It would be like guessing the price of BTC in 6 month (Jonathan Bahai would tell you it will be at 5000$ but who knows if he's right).

I have seen people buying BTWTY almost at the price feed without premium. Look at the chart on the 2nd of April ;)

This is a funny market, volatile and loaded with opportunities to make money. You just have to grab them. I have been trading this market and it's a lot of fun. I don't keep the BTWTY I buy because my goal is to grow the market activity.

If the price rises 300% per year on average, and you bought at 2 x feed price, you will need to wait approximately 8 months, and you can force settle your Bit20 to receive as much BTS as you once invested. You can also put up a sell order at the same premium you paid. I'm sure someone will pick it up. I will buy it from you if you sell it at 1.5 x price feed.

How much should I be ready to pay for Bit20 in terms of USD? What will the price be when markets are efficient and price discovery has happened? Do you expect it to continue trading above feed price?

if we dont have liquidity, I want bother to buy into, regardless the price, what good does it do, when price rise but you cant sell. get the liquidity in order and you will have a viable market, I promise
I own a few BIT20 but I do not even bother to look at it, why should I, can buy cant sell for some time to come, takes days or weeks ..there is not a market, its monopoly, just monopoly is over after a few hours, its sad, because I love the idea a lot

Exactly !  +5% +5% +5%

So you are advising people to not trade BTWTY because there is not liquidity and telling me "get the liquidity in order and you will have a viable market".

I agree with you, with liquidity I will have a viable market. This is what I am trying to do building awareness around Bit20

I'm not a BTWTY seller, I'm the market creator.

You can buy BTWTY and then sell them whenever you want ! I can see right now plenty of people buying and bots active on the market. In the case there is no buyers above the price feed, you can trigger a force settle and your BTWTY will be automatically sold.

The index is performing amazingly well ! He is about to reach a rise of 1000% since July 2015.
I expect it to continue trading above the feed price until it stops performing that well. Even with a lower performance, I suspect we will never see the market around the price feed.

Can bit20 be force settled yet?
When it launched it couldn't be has that changed.

I don't see how it can keep its peg unless you have the ability to force settle?
