F*CKING PHONE BUZZED 212 TIMES TODAY
MY GROK BOT SAT ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ORDER BOOK AND GOT PAID EVERY TIME SOMEONE ELSE TRADED.
14 HOURS, 1,906 FILLS, $400 TO $3,118.42.
In 2018 Europe's market regulator reported that 74-89% of retail CFD accounts lose money. Since then brokers there have printed their own number on every ad. Somebody sits on the other side of those trades, and it usually isn't another trader guessing.
So my bot stopped guessing. It parks a buy a little under the price and a sell a little over it. When both fill, it keeps the gap.
โ quoter puts up both sides on 4 thin pairs, never picks one
โ risk watches who's hitting us, never waits
โ exec pulls and reposts in under a second, never holds a bag overnight
โ me, one y at 8 AM
The first hours were crumbs. JUP +$0.84. BONK +$1.12. One โ$2.30 when a buyer took the whole SEI ask and kept going.
At 2:29 PM Grok pulled every quote on SOL. The same taker had hit our bid 3 times in 9 seconds. Forty seconds later SOL dropped 4.1%. Those resting quotes would have handed back $611.
It came back in at 3:02 and the afternoon paid. $186.40 on one WIF wick at 4:12, bought at the low and sold 3 minutes later. $203.60 from SOL fills in the last hour.
10 AM: $512. Noon: $803. 4 PM: $1,690. 10 PM: $3,118.42.
1,906 fills. 1,734 kept the spread. 0 calls on where the price goes.
One loud Friday isn't a strategy. Thin books pay on days like this and go quiet the rest of the week.
The last buzz came at 10:02 PM. I turned the phone face down. It was still quoting.
THIS SHOULD BE F*CKING ILLEGAL
9 repos, 465K stars, and Opus 5.5 finally stops burning your money on work it never needed to do.
if Opus 5.5 is eating your budget and you have no idea where it goes, copy this:
claude-code-router: sits in front of Claude Code and sends every request to the cheapest model that can handle it. Haiku does the grep, Opus only gets the hard part. 37k stars
https://t.co/oefgUMbb3b
rtk: shrinks test, build and git output before the model ever sees it. one binary, up to 90% less bash noise in your context. 83k stars
https://t.co/7mMtZ7aBHB
claude-mem: remembers what happened in your past sessions and feeds back only the part that matters, so you stop paying to re-explain your project every morning. 100k stars
https://t.co/GN52B7ntRl
context-mode: huge tool output goes into a local database instead of your context window, and Claude pulls out only the lines it needs. 29k stars
https://t.co/R7x405oKhA
caveman: makes Claude answer in short telegraphic sentences. the code stays exactly the same, and output is the expensive side on Opus 5.5 ($20 per million). 112k stars
https://t.co/2hFkwModTp
ccusage: reads your local Claude Code logs and shows which sessions and which days actually burned the tokens. 19k stars
https://t.co/4LZ35YMWAn
serena: gives Claude symbol-level lookups through a language server, so it reads the one function and not the 2,000 lines around it. 30k stars
https://t.co/jCyDBq5naN
code-review-graph: maps your repo as a graph and hands Claude only the code connected to the change you're reviewing. 32k stars
https://t.co/QeVvNFwdbI
jev-ultrafast: a browser agent where Jev picks every click, and a text model only wakes up when something has to be typed. 23k stars
https://t.co/e87dNU8p6C
none of them makes Opus smarter. every one stops it from paying for work it never needed to do
run ccusage before and after, so you know what you actually saved
