maxi of something, rekt trader

sometimes I drop trading thoughts #NFA

a trader turned his funding into a +402% realized APR via Claude Code and perps MCP

instead of inventing and vibecoding setups that eventually just act as exit liquidity

he implemented the CLOSE_INTENT rule to exit the order once the APR starts fading out

a couple of prompts

setup framework built by actual coders and traders
Liquidity

and it turned out to be a three-digit notional APR

this is how he did it

[vooi @vooi_io]

~786% APR

That's how a builder utilised random funding arb spikes on Korean equities via his bot, built on VOOI API/MCP (how to run it - below)

And it's not even the most fun part of it

At the weekend:
→ funding rates became more one-sided
→ the spread between venues widens
→ the opportunity goes up, and so does the noise

Builder's stack was:
→ Long SAMSUNGUSD on @Lighter_xyz
→ Short xyz:SMSN via @tradexyz on @HyperliquidX
→ VOOI's Perps API/MCP - equities, RWA and crypto live funding rates, spread history, and position data scanner and executor

What did his bot do:
1 → Flagged Samsung with 81% net APR, spread persistent enough across venues to be worth the friction
2 → Entered both legs simultaneously
3 → In 2h funding flipped to −550% APR but bot didn't close. It already covered its friction cost, short-term inversions were just noise
4 → Held arb for 23 hours while the spread churned, then rate hit 3,669% APR. mark-to-market still slightly negative at that moment (basis drift between venues). bot didn't exit at the peak. just kept collecting
5 → It detected APR declining 7 cycles straight (the smart_neg rule), read the wave dying, closed both legs automatically in under 10 seconds

Realised APR was +402%

What did the builder do manually?
Just watched. That's pretty much it

Bot found the entry, it sized and placed both legs, held through the -550% dip, collected through the 3,669% peak, and closed itself on the way down

It's the programmable economy

In June I made a bet that the AI companies IPO wave would drain the market.
I gave it until 2027, and the market decided to switch back to crypto.

SpaceX is down a third since listing.
OpenAI is reportedly delaying.
$SMH and $DRAM - AI-sector ETFs - show observable price decline

These events facilitate investors’ attention back to crypto.

It’s not a complete sustainable reverse (yet) but the trend already forms: less hype around AI infrastructure, more attention to crypto.

@ixwillap from now on i'm reading only mr W articles

[Mr Will @ixwillap]

The SEC just published its 2026 agenda.

I’ve said that US will decide which perp DEX is going to survive, and SEC just confirmed my forecast.

https://t.co/OoMxunDBcq

For the trading aspect, the commission decides national exchanges and alternative trading systems get clarity on how they list and trade digital assets directly.

That's why @Lighter_xyz is filing for a CFTC license instead of waiting it out. Same reason @Ostium built on @Nasdaq data and @extendedapp is adding compliance headcount before anyone asked.

The agenda didn't create this pressure - it made it official.

I'm sorry I got stuck on top can someone call @EthEgrr to help me?

[Bitduke @bitcoinduke]

right, if you want to keep scaling into the U.S. and pull real tradfi flow into tokenized stocks / rwa perps, you can’t live forever on offshore ambiguity, that's true. at some point the winning venues are probably the ones already building toward rules, licenses, and real market structure. "no gatekeepers" can’t be the whole edge anymore imo. you can keep trading the same dying long-tail alt stuff forever

(Lighter fits that new paradigm pretty well)

[0xlapocka @iamlapochka]

@ixwillap again - totally agree sir W

[Mr Will @ixwillap]

[0xlapocka @iamlapochka]

Some of the biggest perp DEXs may cease to exist without US compliance

I think this is the key factor a lot of traders miss out

"If you play with TradFi, you gotta play by TradFi rules"

One of the reasons I'm super bullish about ethereum:0x232ce3bd40fcd6f80f3d55a522d03f25df784ee2 Lighter, @extendedapp and @Ostium - legalizing perps (whether in the States or in Europe) would attract some of the biggest cashflows

We're talking way bigger than crypto metrics...

And also Hyperliquid - my bet it's gonna enable KYC for all TradFi traders, it's a matter of time at this point

Based on data and data only, Extended wins over other 8 perp DEXs by execution costs.

Product matters.
