Bitmex Questions

Hello,

I'd like to know how do I insert a stop limit/ stop market order on Trading DOM for a Bitmex contract ?

- I have already opened my position on a limit order, now I'd like to perform stop limit/stop market orders , how do I do that ?
Couldn't find any instructions for that. Please can you help ?

The second question is related to the balance for Bitmex exchange.

At account balances tab, what is the ash balance number format for Bitmex ?

You would just simply enter a Stop order at the price you want. Refer to:
Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Entering an Order from the Trade Window

And:
Chart Trading and the Chart DOM: Entering Orders From the Chart

For the BitMex account balance, we see that the currency is XBT. But we do not know any other details. You need to ask BitMex about the formatting of the account balance fields from their API. The values are just shown as is received from their API.

That's great - thank you.

Here is one more big thing that happened to me.

1. Opened Data/Trade service settings , added my API KEY and Secret , selected Bitmex LIVE which is where I want to trade.
2. Connected to the server, on the top left corner, it is green and fine.
3. I have my trade simulation mode ON
4. Went to Open Trading DOM ==> selected my symbols ==> started trading.
5. Completed a few trades, I can see them in my Trade Activity Log
6. I can see my DPL updated accordingly based on my trade results for the day on trading DOM
7. It all seemed great, until I checked my Bitmex account and I find out it hasn't happened anything, the balance didn't changed and there is no trades executed!

I have been very negatively surprised that nothing happened and we made everything smooth and in the right way.

What is the issue ?

What happened there, my orders were appearing in the order book, I saw everything under my eyes happening and now , there is nothing in my Bitmex account...

When using Trade Simulation Mode all trading is simulated within Sierra Chart. There would be no orders submitted to the external trading service, in this case BitMex.
