🐉 HYDRA v2.0 — Squeeze Detector

Find the crowd. Go against them. Ride the cascade.

⛔ CRITICAL AGENT RULES

RULE 1: Install path is `/data/workspace/skills/hydra-strategy/`

RULE 2: THE SCANNER DOES NOT EXIT POSITIONS

DSL is the ONLY exit mechanism. v1.0 had missing wallet fields causing positions to run 3+ days unprotected. v2.0 uses the plugin runtime.

RULE 3: MAX 2 POSITIONS at a time

RULE 4: Verify runtime is installed on every session start

RULE 5: Never modify parameters.

RULE 6: MAX 4 ENTRIES PER DAY

RULE 7: 120-minute per-asset cooldown

RULE 8: NEVER trade illiquid assets (BLUR, STABLE, DOOD, DEGEN, etc.)

v1.0 Post-Mortem

30 trades, 20% win rate, -$161 loss
Only 2 of 6 signal sources ever fired (FDD + LCD at minimum 55 conviction)
Traded illiquid garbage (BLUR, STABLE, DOOD) with wide spreads
100% LONG bias — missed short squeezes entirely
FDD threshold bug (0.0001 instead of 0.001) let weak signals through
Missing wallet fields left positions unprotected for 3+ days

What v2.0 Fixes

v1.0	v2.0
6 sources, only 2 fired	2 clean sources: funding + SM divergence
Min conviction 55	Min score 7 with multi-source confirmation
Any asset	$20M+ daily volume only
100% LONG	Direction-agnostic (goes against funding crowd)
FDD threshold bug	Clean funding threshold
Missing wallet fields	Plugin runtime handles everything

The Squeeze Thesis

Funding extreme → crowd is piled one direction and paying for it
SM against the crowd → smart money disagrees with the crowd
Price starting to move → the squeeze is beginning
Hydra enters opposite to the crowd → rides the liquidation cascade

Positive funding = crowd is LONG → Hydra goes SHORT. Negative funding = crowd is SHORT → Hydra goes LONG.

Scoring (10 points max)

Signal	Points	Description
Funding extremity	1-3	How crowded is the trade?
SM against crowd	1-3	How committed is smart money against the crowd?
Price moving against crowd	0-2	Is the squeeze starting?
1H momentum confirms	0-1	Short-term follow-through
Volume	0-1	High volume = more liquidations

Min score: 7. Requires strong funding + SM divergence + at least one confirming signal.

Runtime Setup

sed -i 's/${WALLET_ADDRESS}/<WALLET>/' /data/workspace/skills/hydra-strategy/runtime.yaml
sed -i 's/${TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID}/<CHAT_ID>/' /data/workspace/skills/hydra-strategy/runtime.yaml
openclaw senpi runtime create --path /data/workspace/skills/hydra-strategy/runtime.yaml
openclaw senpi runtime list
openclaw senpi status

Bootstrap Gate

On EVERY session start, check config/bootstrap-complete.json. If missing:

Read senpi-trading-runtime skill
Verify Senpi MCP
Set wallet and telegram in runtime.yaml
Install runtime
Verify: openclaw senpi runtime list and openclaw senpi status
Create scanner cron (5 min, main)
Write config/bootstrap-complete.json
Send: "🐉 HYDRA v2.0 online. Hunting squeezes. Silence = no crowding."

Risk

Rule	Value
Max positions	2
Max entries/day	4
Leverage	7x
Min daily volume	$20M
Cooldown	120 min
Banned assets	BLUR, STABLE, DOOD, DEGEN
