Crowding as a trade, not a flag.
Positioning prints a short-squeeze or long-flush card when funding, open interest, and a bar against the crowd agree. Not Radar’s crowding state. Own invalidation. RR ≥ 2. Own Telegram, own paper book, own bot toggle.
Equal weight. Different physics.
Shared raw tape. Independent evaluate(). Independent ledger, Telegram lane, and bot toggle. Radar and Intelligence never print a side.
Five books
Scalp, Intraday, Swing, Position, Catalyst. Never stack.
Whole-market rank
Heat, L2 score, trigger chain. Heat is not a ticket.
Liquidity event
Sweep → absorb → reclaim. Panic is NO_TRADE.
Venue discovery
Follow the mark farthest from the median.
Break and hold
Or a shallow pullback that resumes. Own geometry.
Release
Compression, then volume-confirmed expansion.
Exhaustion
Stretched location, intact mean, wick stop.
Failed break
The crowd is stuck. Distinct from Scout.
Tape + location
Signed volume only where a level already exists.
Crowded unwind
Funding, OI, then a bar against the crowd.
Versus BTC
Leader or laggard, then resume. Not Lead.
FX metals desk
Five equal perps. G01–G08. Never a crypto vote.
State only
WATCH / ANOMALY. Never LONG / SHORT. Never a seat.
Crowd → tax → unwind bar → geometry.
Extreme funding alone is a comment. A trade needs OI and a bar against the crowd.
Crowd
Funding z and rising OI. One without the other is not this book.
Tax
The crowded side is paying. Positioning does not fade a fair book.
Unwind bar
A bar against the crowd. Without it, this is still a Radar state, not a card.
Own geometry
Stop beyond the unwind origin. RR ≥ 2 after fees, or skip.
Cockpit, paper book, report, then the bot toggle.
What this is
- A crowded-unwind engine with a required against-crowd bar.
- A different object from Radar’s WATCH on crowding.
- A paper book and Telegram lane of its own.
- Wired to the CEX bot when you enable the toggle.
What this is not
- Not a funding alert you should market-enter.
- Not Hunter’s crowded trigger lane wearing a new name.
- Not Radar. Radar never prints LONG / SHORT.
- Not financial advice. If OI does not unwind, the idea is gone.
Positioning engine, in plain language
Radar already shows crowding. Why another engine?
Radar tells you the book is crowded. Positioning only prints after an unwind bar and geometry clear. Hint versus ticket.
Is this Hunter’s crowded lane?
Hunter’s crowded lane is one trigger inside Hunter’s chain. Positioning is an independent evaluate() and ledger.
What if funding is extreme and price keeps going?
Without the unwind bar, Positioning stays silent.
Are Positioning cards financial advice?
No. Paper tickets, invalidation, and R multiples are tools. Leverage can liquidate you. Past paper results do not guarantee future results.
