Morning Market Brief

A structured morning routine that pulls announcements, instrument snapshots, funding rates, positions, wallet balance, and open orders in one pass.

Prerequisites

• BITMEX_API_KEY and BITMEX_API_SECRET set for private endpoints.
• jq installed for JSON shaping.

Steps

1. Check announcements

Platform notices, maintenance windows, and fee changes appear here first.

bitmex announce list -o json | jq '.[] | {title, date, body: .content[:120]}'

2. Active instruments snapshot

Grab last price, mark price, and 24 h volume for all active contracts.

bitmex market instrument --active -o json \
  | jq '[.[] | {symbol, lastPrice, markPrice, volume24h: .volume24h}]'

Filter to perps only:

bitmex market instrument --active -o json \
  | jq '[.[] | select(.typ == "FFWCSX") | {symbol, lastPrice, markPrice, fundingRate}]'

3. Funding rates (last interval)

bitmex market funding --count 1 --reverse -o json \
  | jq '[.[] | {symbol, fundingRate, timestamp}]'

4. Open positions

bitmex position list -o json \
  | jq '[.[] | select(.currentQty != 0) | {symbol, currentQty, avgEntryPrice, unrealisedPnl, liquidationPrice}]'

5. Wallet balance

bitmex account margin -o json \
  | jq '{walletBalance, marginBalance, availableMargin, unrealisedPnl, currency}'

6. Open orders

bitmex order list --reverse -o json \
  | jq '[.[] | {orderID, symbol, side, orderQty, price, ordStatus}]'

Tips

• Run as a morning cron at 08:55 UTC before the 09:00 funding settlement.
• Pipe all output to a dated log: >> ~/logs/brief-$(date +%F).json.
• On high-volatility days, re-run funding step every 15 minutes to track rate spikes.
