.BXBT Index 

Bitcoin / US Dollar Perpetual Inverse Swap ContractBitMEX

Description

The current .BXBT index weighted as close as possible to BitMEX's with updates as BitMEX refreshes their index.
Difference between this and the script titled '2020 March 27 .BXBT Index': this one will receive updates because it doesn't have a date in its title.

Methodology
bitmex.com/app/indices
"BitMEX Index Weights, assuming no constituent exchanges have been excluded due to Index Protection Rules, last updated 27 December 2019 at 12:00:05 UTC."

Binance: -
Bitstamp: 10.61%
Bittrex: 2.53%
Coinbase: 52.30%
Gemini: 6.89%
Huobi: -
Itbit: 4.21%
Kraken: 23.46%
Poloniex: -


ItBit's weight is combined with Gemini's due to ItBit not being on TradingView as of now. BITTREX:BTCUSD substituted with BITTREX:BTCUSDT*POLONIEX:USDTUSD to backfill because Bittrex only recently (late 2018) started to offer a fiat BTC/USD pair. Not that it matters since the index used in 2018 didn't include Bittrex if I remember correctly.

What is actually used for 27/12/2019 to 27/03/2020:
Binance: -
Bitstamp: 10.61%
Bittrex: 2.53%
Coinbase: 52.30%
Gemini: 11.10%
Huobi: -
Itbit: -
Kraken: 23.46%
Poloniex: -

Options:
  • Toggle candlesticks or close line
  • Change price source to be used for indicators
  • To be added: Change quarter to show indexes for different times, with labels that apply to the appropriate index used


Reasons to use this vs. the index itself: (not many)

It is helpful as a reference for other indicators or creation of an index.
