4/5 Markouts are one tool that can be used for measuring adverse selection. They work by plotting the theoretical PnL at various time horizons (e.g. 100ms, 500ms, 1s, etc) after your trade to see how the price moved for or against you over time.

Great thread about how funding manipulation works. As usual, lack of liquidity and wide spreads are the underlying cause. In addition, using a robust methodology for calculating the premium is pretty important also.
Let's talk about various manipulative shenanigans that used to go on at FTX. We'll start with something widespread on sh1tcoin perpetual futures: funding rate manipulation. If you looked at trades in the trash that FTX listed, you'd see all these min qty trades What are they?

Got alerted that the SSL cert for the cryptoncarry.com backend ran out. Turns out PM2 writes a shit ton of logs and doesn't have log-rotate on by default. Basically ate the whole disk. Lesson learned.

For those looking to understand microstructure better have a look at the binance 0 fee orderbook. Record some data. How does it react to large orders? What’s the distribution? Time of day? The zeros fees really expose the microstructure. Great learning example!

Congrats Paradigm! Block trading is a really effective way of executing multi-leg trades (such as basis trades) and reducing leg risk. I'll be writing more about that in an upcoming article.

Recently Solana has introduced Fee-based execution priority, this allows users to bump the fees beyond the vanilla rate (0.000005 SOL) and get priority in a block. Who is currently using this feature? and why? Can you guess? Let's find it out using @DuneAnalytics 🧵
