1) The Ecosystem, Part 1:

Getting Dressed

 2) NOT INVESTMENT ADVICE

and even more importantly, not clothing advice
3) This story ends with @bonfida, but it starts with @SushiSwap.

By now pretty much everyone knows the story:

The meteoric rise, the sudden crash, the dormant period, and the recovery.

This story starts at the lowest point: right after the migration.
4) See, the lowest point *should* have been right after nomigate.

But of course there was negative sentiment then! That was expected.

The brutal part for the project was after the fires were put out--the dev funds returned, the migration successful.
5) That should have been the recovery.

But instead, Sushiswap endured a month of the most negative sentiment I've ever seen a project have.

There was a chat, as the major builders and multisig holders got things off their chest.
6) Most were receiving threats daily--some physical, but even more so not-so-thinly-veiled threats on their job:

"desert Sushiswap or I'll pressure your company to fire you".

It was a perfect storm of coordinated attack, disorganized sadness, and all around frustration.
7) And in a key moment-

just as some were thinking of quitting, because they didn't want to take it anymore-

there came an outpouring of solidarity.

Sushiswap wasn't perfect, and in some cases it wasn't even good. But it didn't deserve what it was getting.

"Fuck the h8ters"
8) Sushiswap has gone from the most shit on project to the newest revival.

SUSHI was up 6x from its nadir.

All of a sudden, it's popular again.

Why? What happened?
9) Well, partially Uniswap rewards ended.

Partially people got bored of shitting on Sushi.

But more than even of those, right at the lowest point, Sushiswap made a decision.
10) Sushiswap had originally taught the world that in so much of DeFi, the emporer had no clothes.

https://t.co/tcvJXJTrNY

But at its lowest point, Sushiswap found itself naked.

So it did what you do there: it ignored the noise and got dressed.

'Fuck the h8ters. Just build.'
11) And over the next months, Sushiswap pushed the frontier: between the website redesign, weekly pools, limit orders, Bento Box, and more.

It rolled out more than almost any other project in DeFi did. Frankly, it left most in the dust.

https://t.co/NAqLxTsK6g
12) And now, months later, the space has come to appreciate what was built.

-------------

So what does this have to do with @bonfida?

Serum was never in the doghouse the same way Sushiswap was.

But for all its promise, it started with nothing.
13) No users, no apps, no tools.

What do you do what there's no good Solana wallet?

You build one.

And then you help others build more.
14) Six months ago, Serum didn't exist.

Those six months are nothing on a cosmic scale, but they feel like an eternity. What have they brought to the ecosystem?

Well, of course, there's the world's only high performance on-chain DEX: https://t.co/16Vp8zPjV4
15) But in the background, so much more has been building up.

Because, for a few months, there wasn't a huge marketing barrage or persuasion campaign. In the end actions speak louder than words.

So first you get dressed.
16) There are a lot of awesome projects on the cusp of being released on Serum.

But Bonfida alone as built a shocking amount in less than half a year.
17) a) It has an AMM. And it's fast, and cheap! That's pretty cool--the world's highest performance AMM, in a few months. https://t.co/ps0o8J2IOx

b) Oh, right, also one of the world's only fully on-chain matching engines: https://t.co/VILVwF0IpQ

c) And TradingView Charts!
18) d) You can create new orderbooks: https://t.co/6m6K5aEnJr

That's a lot for a few months!

e) Oh also it has on-chain Pools??? https://t.co/xVWs5deto2
19) f) It has a sweet dashboard for Serum! https://t.co/b4XcGPdKmp

g) And an API serving tens of millions of calls per day to CoinGecko, CoinMarketcap, apps, and more! https://t.co/69pje01OMg

So it's an analytics sweet for Serum.
20) h) ...there's a wallet: https://t.co/102CHcmd06

i) ...and a tool to mint your own brand new token! https://t.co/ZI8GeBWvMW

j) plus a bit of free SOL to get started: https://t.co/QQcrI4AKd7

A token management suite for Solana built in a few months. Not bad!
21) k) ...andm to top it off, an NFT exchange: https://t.co/6ois89O8jY

Now it didn't build all of this from scratch--many of these products are composed with primitives that others have been building out on Serum this year.

And that's totally fine.
22) Bonfida has built more products in the last months than most projects ever release.

And on top of that, it's composed, wrapped, and GUI-ified even more.

None of this takes away from the incredibly intricate work from @blocks_go_brr, @armaniferrante, @seb_alameda, and more.
23) It adds to it, because that's how DeFi works. It's open, and composable, so that each app can gain from the others rather than compete.

Bonfida has built a ton. And on top of that, it helps each app be its best self.

It's just getting started.
24) Anyway, tonight @bonfida's token, $FIDA, will list: first IEOing on https://t.co/16Vp8zPjV4, then listing on it, @BitMax_Official and @FTX_Official.

The action starts in 3 hours:

https://t.co/7rUsDYybK8
25) And whether or not you're interested in $FIDA, you should check out @bonfida.

Learn about the STEEL SECTOR in this thread

The demand for steel is generally only 1.2 times the GDP & there is no significant growth in our GDP but still the sector has rallied relentlessly, lets try & understand

Do ‘re-tweet’ & help us educate more investors (1/22)
#Investing

The metal sector is broadly divided into 2,
-Ferrous is a category of metal that has Iron in it, Steel as an example
-Non-Ferrous is a metal, which does not have Iron content, Aluminum, copper, lead, nickel, Zinc etc.
This thread focuses on Ferrous & hence Steel (2/22)

To start, lets understand with how steel is made (its important).
Iron ore is mined, it is then first converted to Iron & Iron is then converted to Steel. There are 3 processes of making steel
-Blast Furnace
-Scrap Metal
-DRIP/Sponge
We will discuss all three (3/22)

Technical Analysis Masterclass- Part 2

'Entering the trade'

Entering a trade without ascertaining a certain things is gambling.

In this masterclass we will learn the pre-requisites to enter a trade.

DON'T ENTER A TRADE WITHOUT DETERMINNG THE FOLLOWING.

Please share.

We understand what reward to risk (popularly called risk to reward) is.
It will be denoted by R:R.

We will also try to bust a few myths about R:R and how to avoid losing trades.

Before entering a trade, you need to determine 3 things.

1. Entry trigger
2. Stop loss
3. Target

1. Entry trigger = Reasons for entering a trade. There could be multiple reasons or a single reason for entry.

Generally a set of reasons AKA confluence is a higher probability trade and a generally a safer entry.

Example of an entry trigger.


2. Stop Loss.

The price in the opposite direction of the trade where the trade is exited, at a loss.

At this level, the reason for the entry becomes invalidated according to TA and the price can then move in the opposite direction, probabilistically.


3. Target is the possible price level that the asset might touch based on previous trends or confluence AND where a possible reversal could occur.

Target is the next path of least resistance from where the price might reverse.

We will always ONLY use TA to determine all 3.

@theBuoyantMan
Working on some execution optimisation related backtesting. I have so far been executing with market orders only. Going towards higher lot sizes, I'd like to optimise for minimal slippage.

First off, on NSE, if you place a market order, you get filled at the best bid/ask right?

If we want to optimise this, the first non-creative idea one can think of is, slicing the order into different lot sizes, and placing a limit order for each slice at the mid point of current best bid & ask.

But this requires your latency to be the least.

Why would latency affect it?

I looked at tick historical data, and there are more than 18-20 ticks in a second (auction and quote combined).

Even if you keep 10 ticks per second, your best bid/ask can shift from the time you place to the time exchange receives the order.

So, the next best thing that people can do is place tranches of orders every 1s, 3s, 5s, 10s, 15s - in their preferred time range, and get filled at the midpoint or best-bid+1/2/3/4/5 in the depth.

What you need is liquidity.

But if you're trading breakouts, then it's highly likely that your limit orders may not get filled if the action is too fast.

So, a retry mechanism is required in such cases.

If nothing works, you convert your orders to marketable and get filled at worse slippage.

1. How to develop a framework to trade in ATM strikes on expiry day? Subhasish Pani on @vivbajaj Sir's channel.

One of call or put at ATM is going to go to zero.

Whichever is moving rapidly has a higher probability of going ATM/ITM. Sell the slower

2. How to trade a big gap up on expiry day?

If market bias is bullish and a gap-up happens, it comes for selling.

Can buy puts at the breakout of an inside candle as the market has a good probability of at least heading toward the previous day's

3. How to trade in Bank Nifty if it has already moved 160 points from its high to low by 11:30? @ThetaGainers

SRI LALITHAMBIGAI, THIRUMEYACHUR (TN)
#bharatmandir #navratri2021

Kshetram where Shiva is worshipped as Meghanatha and his consort is Lalithambigai seen in Abhay mudra.
Once, a demon Pandasura was harassing the Devas who went to Devi Parashakti for protection. 
@GunduHuDuGa


Devi rose from a Yaga Gunda, mounted on the Sri Chakra Rath with the name Lalithambika, waged a war against Pandasura and destroyed him.  When her fury did not subside, Shiva asked her to go to Earth, assume the name Manonmani, perform penance and shed her fury.


Shiva blessed Devi to be Shanta nayagi. There is a sculpture here depicting Shiva pacifying Devi. If you observe closely, you can see that from your left hand side there will be a smile on Her face and if you see from your right hand side you can see anger in Her face.


Hayagriva taught the greatness of Lalitha Sahasranama to Rishi Agasthya. Pleased with his devotion, Ma Lalithambikai appeared before Agastya. He is believed to have then sung Lalita Navaratnamala in praise of Devi. He has also composed a hymn named Rahasyanamasahasram.

How to sell option?
Here let me explain through simple math.
Say BN at 30000
30000 straddle trading at combine premium 800 ( based on current volatility)
Put at 400
Call at 400
You don’t know direction. Sold both.

If move will not come than both will decrease gradually.

At day end it will come down to 720-740 if move will not come. Difference is your profit.

Now case 2:
Move started.
At one points combine premium will start increasing.
Say 810.
Exit immediately. No need to do adjustment.
Let market settle.

Sell again straddle once market settle.
Now repeat same thing.

Straddle selling webinar over.
Good luck.

One can keep SL 550 for both strike to escape from sudden movement.

Spent a quaint half hour in a cafe listening to a guy yell at his dad after his dad said that the women Trump molested wanted it: "Dad, that's like saying the Jews who died in the Holocaust were asking for it!" ENJOY YOUR TERRIBLE FAMILIES THIS WEEK!

"Mom, has a man ever touched you without your consent?"
"Of course."
"Did you report it?"
"No."
"Dad, your WIFE has been through this!"

Dad was unmoved and told the guy to stop arguing with him.

At this point we learned the boy child has allergies.

I forgot to remark upon the presence of the very cute grandson, who was very small and gave not one shit about the yelling. I believe a sister or aunt was present and feeling very stressed. I wanted to hand her a Xanax or seven.

It was really hard to not jump in and say, "Sounds like you guys are going to have a fun meal tomorrow!" so they could unite in hatred against me, the outsider, and stop squabbling. Instead I exchanged glances with a nearby fellow lady patron, who also emotionally ate a cookie.

Anyway, I want to thank the random family for yelling about rape and the Holocaust in an Israeli cafe in the US of A today because it reminded me that while this country isn't the greatest, it is inevitably my stupid favorite and I am never, ever bored.
