Let me say this upfront: Alpha is not information, it is process.
I have repeatedly refined this set on Binance; the advantages are simplicity, execution capability, and retrievability.
1. 3 Tables: First look at 'water', then choose 'boat'
Table 1 | Fund Level Table
Look at net inflow/outflow of stablecoins, changes in trading volume, perpetual funding rates.
The conclusion is simple: Only when money comes in can we talk about trends; excessively high rates = crowded, negative rates + increased volume = likely reverse kills.
Table 2 | Position Structure Table
Observe open interest (OI), large orders on both sides, and turnover at tops/bottoms.
Rules: OI rising + healthy turnover = institutions are building positions; OI dropping sharply = someone is being cleared.
