Intel · our moat · what the system sees
Part of the market's data exists only in the moment. Exchange APIs serve it for a few hours — and that's it: miss recording this hour and the history will never exist, at any price. So we record it continuously, with our own collectors, a timestamp on every snapshot.
The big aggregators sell access to this kind of data for thousands of dollars a month — out of reach for a solo trader. Our model is different: we don't sell the raw database to anyone. We test hypotheses on it, publish the verdicts — and let you put a watch on anything the system sees in the moment.
10 streams · Deribit + Hyperliquid + OKX · the "⏱ moment" tag = cannot be recovered after the fact
| Stream | What's inside | Cadence | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Option levels | Max pain, option walls, the MM corridor, open interest and option prices at every strike — since February 2026 | hourly | |
| Real bid/ask prices | Not the theoretical mark but actual bid/ask quotes per strike — the honest benchmark we test strategies against | hourly | ⏱ moment |
| Whale liquidation map | On-chain positions of the top-200 Hyperliquid wallets: exact liquidation price, leverage, size. Measured, not modeled. Nobody archives how this map moves through time except those who record it themselves | every 30 min | ⏱ moment |
| Whale actions | An event feed: a whale opened / added / flipped / exited / got liquidated | hourly | ⏱ moment |
| Market-wide liquidations | The full feed of forced closures (longs/shorts, size) — the big APIs throttle it to 1 event/sec, understating cascades severalfold | every 10 min | ⏱ moment |
| Trade flow and block trades | Who hit the tape: every BTC/ETH options trade with taker direction + whale block trades | hourly | ⏱ moment |
| Volatility | DVOL, realised volatility, the smile and the skew by tenor — over 2 years of hourly history | hourly | |
| Cross-exchange funding | Funding on Hyperliquid versus Binance and Bybit — the demand skew across venues | hourly | |
| Order book | Book depth around the price — how much real demand and supply is actually standing there | every 30 min | ⏱ moment |
| Computed by us | Gamma exposure and zero-gamma, the fear premium, the expected-move cone, whale position fragility | every ~2 h |
Live slices of these streams are free on the boards: Liquidation Map · Fear & Greed. The terms, in plain English — in the glossary.
Because on this data you can test the theories instead of retelling them. Everyone repeats the "max pain magnet" — we tested it on 260 expiries: it hits 29% of the time. The market makers' breakeven corridor, meanwhile, holds 81%. Every tested hypothesis has a criterion frozen in advance and a public verdict on the record — failures included.
a message about the fact, at the moment of the event — with the historical context of our verifications
The data updates around the clock — no human can sit glued to the screen. So any indicator in the arsenal can carry a watch: the moment the event happens, a message lands in your DMs — what happened and what it has historically meant in our data. A statement of fact, not advice.
🐋 Whale
A large wallet opened, flipped or closed a position above your threshold; a whale got liquidated.
🧱 Level
The price reached an option wall, left the MM corridor or crossed your level.
🧭 Gamma flip
The market entered the zone where market-maker hedging amplifies moves instead of damping them.
🌡 Volatility
A sharp DVOL spike; options turned extremely expensive or cheap versus the year.
🛰 Market regime
The siren: the system switched regime, calm↔storm — with an interpretation and forecasts.
