Inspired by the Bitmex REKT Twitter account and REKT chatbot, which only give information about recent liquidations. We decided to create a real-time tool to monitor both large (significant) trades and liquidations on Bitmex at the same time.

As a further improvement we decided to add a metric to monitor trades of different sizes.
That metric categorizes different trade sizes into four groups. The information is useful for determining what trades are big whales executing and what trades are executed by smaller fish. The data is from the past hour.

The minimum number of contracts needed for a liquidation to appear on the live bitmex liquidations list is 100,000. In order for a trade to appear on the significant (large) trades table the minimum number of contracts is 500,000. You can also adjust the number of recent large trades and liquidations that you wish to see by adjust the slider above the tables.

The term Bitmex REKT means that an user on Bitmex has run out of margin to cover their position and therefore their position has been liquidated - they have lost all their margin. During volatile moves in Bitcoin's price, it is fun to watch the liquidations happen.
