No TA. No indicators. Just order flow.
@thatismyquant scalping the market : comment βOrder Flowβ for the private live of the last trading sessionπ
Textbook $ENA manufactured pump from @thatismyquant π
Price 15%, but CVD β$11M (β3Ο). Marked up, not bought. OI 52% wk Β· 65% long Β· funding above avgΒ· 35% bids
Crowded, levered, no organic flow = no exit. Reversion was the trade: 0.118 β 0.097
Alpha is in the order flow
$USELESS: what is the order flow saying?
β Funding 35% APR and climbing
β Crowd is 32% long-skewed
β Price up 8%
β CVD flashing distribution
β OI 42% : this move is built on leverage, not spot
Price says breakout. The flow says trap.
So what's the trade?
In 2021 you couldn't buy SpaceX.
In 2023 you couldn't buy OpenAI.
In 2026 you can't buy Figure, Apptronik, or 1X either.
But crypto is moving fast, pre-IPO on Hyperliquid, investment DAOs like @xmaquina.
Tradfi is moving onchain π§΅
We saw it in the order flow in @trenchesisback$EDGE was a textbook cabal coin: pump the price, build a wall of trapped longs, then nuke it to harvest the liquidations.
We flagged it. Shorted at 1.35. 133%.
If you're not reading order flow in 2026, you're leaving an easy edge on the table.

what's your highest-conviction smart exposure play on hyperliquid right now, and why?
farming, market making, funding, vaults, staking loops, LPing : drop your alpha π
I see short liquidations on $NEAR. why would you short? look at the order flow....
you don't short during a short squeeze.
you wait for the exhaustion.
That's my QUANTTT

I called $LIT below $0.90 in @trenchesisback
Conviction was 6/10.
Took half off the long at $1.20, will cut the rest soon.
Letting the spot bag run.
Perp DEX season. π₯
My $HYPE playbook is dead simple:
πΌ Above 40$ β I trade it. Volatility is the edge, not the bag.
π½ Bellow 30$ β I'm a buyer. I'm accumulating spot.
The data behind the conviction:
π Whales (>10k HYPE): 8% since the Dec bottom (1.6K β 1.73K)
π Retail (>10 HYPE): β6% since August (54.7K β 51.3K)
HYPE's growth these last few weeks has been unbelievable. A lot of positive wins but at some point, things have to cool down.
Sub 35$ liquidity sitting untouched. Magnet. 47$ supply just rejected hard. I'm not predicting a flush. I'm prepared for it.
When it comes to investing, I want the highest EV and stay away from FUD and FOMO.
And you, what's your $HYPE plan?

Shorting a squeeze : the setup π
Step 1 : wait for short liquidations to stop. And funding to cool off.
Step 2 : L/S ratio starts dropping : longs closing, not new shorts opening. Thatβs the real signal.
Step 3 : funding still positive = longs still paying. Squeeze fuel is gone.
Step 4 : OI flatlining while CVD rolls over : no new money coming in, sellers taking control quietly.
When all four align, the move is just a matter of time.

What is the distribution return of your alpha ?
Your trade returns follow a distribution. A big win is likely an outlier, your next draw reverts toward the mean. Sizing up after a win means betting big exactly when mean reversion is working against you.
After a loss, youβre in the left tail. The next draw is statistically more likely to be closer to your true positive mean. Thatβs when you size up.
just did an interview with @thatismyquant (10-fig in annual volume) about the single most counterintuitive habit retail traders have
they size up after wins
they size down after losses.
mathematically, it's the reason they lose
he proves it in the video:
