What are Clusters?
Clusters are strategic groupings of multiple long and short positions packaged into a single tradable unit. This allows traders to express directional views on broader market narratives or trends, rather than individual assets.
Key Features
Narrative-Based Trading: Express views on market narratives like “BTC Dominance,” “Ethereum L2 Growth,” or “AI Tokens” through unified positions. Long-Short Combinations: Gain exposure to relative price movements by simultaneously going long on certain assets and short on others. Pre-Made Clusters: Choose from professionally designed Clusters or create your own custom combinations to match your market thesis. Customizable Weights: Adjust the weighting of individual assets within a Cluster to fine-tune your exposure and risk profile.How Clusters Work
Clusters allow you to express complex market views through unified positions: For example, if you believe in Bitcoin dominance increasing:- Create a Cluster that goes long on Bitcoin
- Add short positions on altcoins you expect to underperform
- Set your preferred weights for each position
- Trade the entire Cluster as a single unit
Example Clusters
BTC vs Blue Chips
BTC (Long)50%
ETH (Short)25%
SOL (Short)25%
This Cluster expresses a bullish view on Bitcoin’s dominance relative to leading altcoins.
Ethereum L2’s
ZK (Long)33%
OP (Long)33%
ARB (Long)34%
This Cluster expresses a bullish view on the Ethereum Layer 2 ecosystem.
Dynamic Funding Strategy
BERA (Long)25%
Trump (Long)25%
OSMO (Short)25%
TIA (Short)25%
This Cluster capitalizes on funding rate differentials across various assets.
