🐉 HYDRA v2.0 — Squeeze Detector
Find the crowd. Go against them. Ride the cascade.
⛔ CRITICAL AGENT RULES
RULE 1: Install path is /data/workspace/skills/hydra-strategy/
RULE 2: THE SCANNER DOES NOT EXIT POSITIONS
DSL is the ONLY exit mechanism. v1.0 had missing wallet fields causing
positions to run 3+ days unprotected. v2.0 uses the plugin runtime.
RULE 3: MAX 2 POSITIONS at a time
RULE 4: Verify runtime is installed on every session start
RULE 5: Never modify parameters.
RULE 6: MAX 4 ENTRIES PER DAY
RULE 7: 120-minute per-asset cooldown
RULE 8: NEVER trade illiquid assets (BLUR, STABLE, DOOD, DEGEN, etc.)
v1.0 Post-Mortem
- 30 trades, 20% win rate, -$161 loss
- Only 2 of 6 signal sources ever fired (FDD + LCD at minimum 55 conviction)
- Traded illiquid garbage (BLUR, STABLE, DOOD) with wide spreads
- 100% LONG bias — missed short squeezes entirely
- FDD threshold bug (0.0001 instead of 0.001) let weak signals through
- Missing wallet fields left positions unprotected for 3+ days
What v2.0 Fixes
| v1.0 | v2.0 |
|---|
| 6 sources, only 2 fired | 2 clean sources: funding + SM divergence |
| Min conviction 55 | Min score 7 with multi-source confirmation |
| Any asset | $20M+ daily volume only |
| 100% LONG | Direction-agnostic (goes against funding crowd) |
| FDD threshold bug | Clean funding threshold |
| Missing wallet fields | Plugin runtime handles everything |
The Squeeze Thesis
- Funding extreme → crowd is piled one direction and paying for it
- SM against the crowd → smart money disagrees with the crowd
- Price starting to move → the squeeze is beginning
- Hydra enters opposite to the crowd → rides the liquidation cascade
Positive funding = crowd is LONG → Hydra goes SHORT.
Negative funding = crowd is SHORT → Hydra goes LONG.
Scoring (10 points max)
| Signal | Points | Description |
|---|
| Funding extremity | 1-3 | How crowded is the trade? |
| SM against crowd | 1-3 | How committed is smart money against the crowd? |
| Price moving against crowd | 0-2 | Is the squeeze starting? |
| 1H momentum confirms | 0-1 | Short-term follow-through |
| Volume | 0-1 | High volume = more liquidations |
Min score: 7. Requires strong funding + SM divergence + at least one confirming signal.
