Hello everyone!!!

In the previous post, I showed you the interest in HBD that I had received over the past 18 months.

You can check it out here

Today, as I promised in that post, I'm going to do an experiment to see how cheaply I can buy HBD, losing as little as possible due to spreads on Tribaldex and withdrawal fees.

First, I bought DOGE on MEXC to deposit it into MEXC.

Yes, I know what you're thinking. By depositing DOGE, I'll have to pay the deposit fee and, on top of that, I'm at the mercy of the selling price. Normally, the best option is to buy Hive and then use that Hive to directly buy HBD, but in this particular instance they were buying Doge at about 1% higher than on MEXC, so I gained roughly 0.25%, minus the deposit fee. Shark mind 馃馃

With that DOGE, I bought 15% of it in Hive, and that's where the real journey begins 馃槄馃槄

The ask (the price they鈥檙e selling at) was 4.65 HIVE ($1.01) and the bid (buying price) was 4.59 ($0.99).
The day I bought $1000 worth of HBD, I bought at the ask, paying an extra 0.015 for each HBD.
This time, what we鈥檙e going to try is to buy directly by placing a BID order. The key was to try to get it as cheap as possible, but since the current order at 4.59 wasn鈥檛 getting filled, I had to gradually raise it until they started selling...

I placed bids at 4.60 and 4.61, and nothing鈥攗ntil finally they started filling my order at 4.62.

Apparently, a bot started buying from me in very small amounts, until finally everything was sold.

This left me with 14.8260 HBD. Now I just had to withdraw 馃槕

If we do the math (the 14.714 I received, multiplied by 100 and divided by the initial $15), it gives us 98.093, meaning I lost 1.906% 馃挦馃挦馃挦馃挦
In the first trade I made in this post, I lost 2.63%. It鈥檚 an improvement, but I think it can still be optimized a bit more.

I鈥檒l try again...


VERSI脫N EN ESPA脩OL


Muy buenas a todos!!!

En el anterior post os mostr茅 los intereses en HBD que hab铆a recibido en estos 煤ltimos 18 meses.

Pod茅is verlo aqu铆

Hoy, como promet铆 en dicho post, voy a hacer un experimento para ver cuan barato puedo comprar el HBD, perdiendo lo menos posible entre spreads en tribaldex y comisiones de retiro.

Primero compr茅 DOGE en Mexc para depositarlo en MEXC.

Si, se lo que est谩s pensando. Al depositar DOGE, tendr茅 que pagar el fee de d茅posito y encima estoy a merced del precio que me den al venderlo. Normalmente, lo mejor es comprar Hive y con ese Hive comprar HBD directamente, pero en esta instancia particular estaban comprando Doge alrededor de un 1% mas caro que en mexc, as铆 que me ganaba 0.25% aprox menos la comision de dep贸sito. Mente de tibur贸n馃馃

Con ese Doge compr茅 15% de Hive y aqu铆 empieza la verdadera traves铆a馃槄馃槄

El ask (el precio al que te venden) estaba a 4.65HIVE (1.01$) y el bid (precio de compra) estaba a 4.59 (0.99$).
El d铆a aquel que compr茅 1000$ de HBD, le compr茅 al del ask pagando 0.015 extra por cada HBD.
Lo que vamos a intentar esta vez, es tratar de comprar directamente poniendo una orden BID. La clave era tratar de conseguirlo lo m谩s barato posible, pero como la orden actual de 4.59 no se completaba, habr铆a que ir subiendo hasta que empezaran a comprar..

Puse bids en 4.60 y 4.61 y nada, hasta que por fin empezaron a comprarme en 4.62.

Al parecer, un bot me empez贸 a comprar en muy peque帽as cantidades, hasta que al final se vendi贸 todo.

Esto me dej贸 14.8260 HBD. Ahora solo faltaba retirar馃槕

Si hacemos el c谩lculo (Los 14.714 que he recibido multiplicado por 100 y dividido por los 15$ iniciales) nos da un 98.093, es decir, hemos perdido 1.906%馃挦馃挦馃挦馃挦
En el primer trade que hice en este post, perd铆 2.63%. Es un avance, pero creo que se puede exprimir un poco m谩s.

Lo volver茅 a intentar...
