Afternoon all,

I wanted to take some time to cover some resources I use in my daily $BTC trading. This will be a longer thread, so bear with it you will hopefully find something that will help you also. I will try to keep it concise so if there are any questions please DM me.
1. Funding Rates - bybt.com/FundingRate
Funding rates have proved to be extremely useful in understanding how over heated the leveraged market is at any one time. Funding rates (below 0.01% / green) are bullish. Funding rates (above 0.01%/ red) are bearish.
2. Live large trade ticker - aggr.trade/#
When scalping I like to see the large orders and liquidations in realtime across multiple exchanges. I have Aggr.trade pined to the left of my screen and set it to notify me of orders over specified size.
