BitMEX

Symbol mapping

BitMEX uses XBTUSD for BTC perp (note: XBT not BTC), ETHUSD for ETH perp.

Native features

• Native SL / TP: yes (execInst: "Close").
• Trailing stop: yes (native).
• Pegged orders: native. BitMEX is the only LucraX-supported venue with native peg types.

Demo

Testnet at https://testnet.bitmex.com.

Known quirks

• Coin-margined: P&L is in BTC. LucraX converts to USD at exit price for net_pnl storage.
• One-Way mode only: set your BitMEX account to One-Way position mode before connecting. Hedge-mode accounts are refused at verify-credential time.
• Passphrase required alongside API key + secret.

Status

Production. One of the original perp venues; well-tested.
