US-Iran Escalation

Thesis

Buy Brent oil and gold on US–Iran escalation news, aiming to benefit from higher energy prices and demand for gold.

Strategy

• Escalation news: Buy Brent oil and gold on new US–Iran strikes, military threats or deployments, sanctions, or Iranian disruption of Hormuz shipping. • Equal sizing: Target half the allocated USDC in each position, subtract existing exposure before new entries, and honor each market's $10 minimum. • Hold: Keep each position without adding more until you stop; process each story once per market without waiting for price confirmation.

Exposure

• Holds: Oil, gold and USDC — Brent oil and gold perpetual contracts backed by USDC collateral. • Venue: Hyperliquid — Trades XYZ markets with USDC collateral on HyperCore. • Leverage: 1x target exposure — Targets total positions equal to allocated USDC, subject to the $10 minimum per position. • Costs: Fees and funding — Pays Hyperliquid trading fees and pays or receives ongoing funding. • Data: Circuit — Uses escalation-news triggers and Brent oil and gold market prices. • On unwind: USDC — Both positions close and the remaining balance is USDC on HyperCore.
