Crypto Derivatives Sentiment HeatmapWhat?
This is a heatmap that shows derivatives sentiment for some of the most prominent coins in crypto.
Content
Coins included:
BTC
ETH
LTC
DOT
LINK
YFI
The indicator takes the Binance USDT perpetual swaps of these coins and compares them to their respective spot indices.
Binance is the exchange of choice because their perps have the highest volume in the market.
For the spot indices I've used the indices created by Bitmex.
These are very intricate and weighted indices with compositions of the most important and trustworthy spot markets.
For more information check the Bitmex website.
The heatmap shows red coloring if the perp is trading above spot (bearish).
It shows green coloring if the perp is trading below spot (bullish).
The lighter the color the less wide the gap is between perps & spot.
The darker (brighter) the coloring the more extreme the difference.
Trading
It's quite simple.
When you see a lot of green, preferably dark green, you should have a bullish bias because it means that perps are oversold or that spot is bidding hard.
Vice versa a lot of red should give a bearish bias.
It's very practical for a quick sentiment check.
This indicator is free so you can just add it to your favorites.

YFI
BINANCE:YFIUSDTPERP Fee FinderUtilizes common maker/taker fees that traders pay on Binance to create scalping price levels.
Options to configure are changing the colors.
The determinant factor in setting the price levels is a custom built 33 minute derivation of price.
This is able to be done with YFI specifically because the MM on it knows you are using x50. If you decide to use x50, this clearly shows that:
You need to catch the absolute top or bottom for scalping for maximizing profit with regards to fees
BNB for fee reductions for trading is essential
Price action is not directional; it is not choppy; it is an algorithm that is able to execute at <1 second intervals to take your money
