Clean Trend Long/Short

Thesis

Clean coin trends tend to continue; balanced long and short positions seek to capture those trends rather than the whole market's direction.

Strategy

• Selection: At 06:00 and 18:00 Pacific, rank 30 monthly open-interest leaders from the 50-name list using 60% seven-day trend and 40% seven-day return. • Entries and exits: Hold up to six longs above EMA(100) and six shorts below it; exit outside the best or worst nine, with native stops three ATRs from entry. • Sizing: Each name targets 8.33% of current allocation; unfilled slots stay cash and the larger side is trimmed to keep net exposure within 10% of gross.

Exposure

• Holds: Coin longs and shorts — Holds qualifying Hyperliquid perpetual positions with USDC collateral. • Venue: Hyperliquid — Starts with HyperCore USDC and trades only the specified main-dex coin markets. • Leverage: 100% gross target — Six longs and six shorts each use 8.33% notional; no exchange leverage changes. • Costs: Trading fees, funding — Pays Hyperliquid execution fees and receives or pays periodic funding. • Data: Circuit — Uses markets, four-hour candles, prices, funding and open interest. • On unwind: USDC — Closing positions returns their settled value to HyperCore USDC; stopping alone leaves positions and orders open.
