Further information on the composition, calculation and scheduling of BitMEX indices is available.

This index is composite and hybrid, which means the price is built from multiple sources against multiple underlying currencies or cryptocurrencies. The Source Prices are converted to a common denominator using the corresponding BitMEX index. See the Composite Index Breakdown below for information on the constituents. If a constituent stops publishing or no trades are printed for over 15 minutes, BitMEX may automatically remove that constituent from the index until trading resumes.

Index Weight Calculation

The BitMEX index weights are computed using volume data obtained directly via API connection from each of the constituent exchanges listed above. Proprietary mechanisms are used to identify malformed and anomalous data, which is discarded. The index weight calculation removes constituents with insufficient trade volume.
