The approach

Aggressive where it pays.
Disciplined everywhere else.

A honey badger picks fights it can win. We apply the same filter to every trade: a clear thesis, a hard exit, and a size that survives being wrong.

Thesis before ticker

Market structure, funding, open interest and on-chain flows decide the bias. The chart decides the entry. Never the other way around.

Sized to be wrong

Every setup ships with its invalidation. Position size comes from the stop distance and a fixed slice of the account — not from how confident anyone feels.

Log the losses too

Wins, losses and scratches all go in the journal with R-multiples attached. Edge is measured over hundreds of trades, not screenshots of the best one.

The book

What we're holding

FAQ

Straight answers

Is this financial advice?

No. Setups are educational research showing how we read the market and manage risk. You decide what to trade, how much, and whether to trade at all.

Do you need my exchange API keys or funds?

Never. We don't take custody, API keys or copy-trade access. You place your own orders on your own exchange.

Which exchanges do the setups work on?

Setups are written against price levels, not a specific venue, so they work on any major spot or perpetuals exchange available where you live.

Do you use leverage?

Leverage is a tool for capital efficiency, not for bigger bets. Size always comes from the stop distance and your risk per trade — the calculator above shows the effective leverage that implies.

How is the book tracked?

Entry prices are fixed on the day a position opens and never edited. The % shown is the live Coinbase price against that entry, winners and losers alike.
