Michael Lie, Global Head of Digital Assets at @Flow_Traders: "Regulatory clarity is what will truly drive institutional adoption." The CLARITY Act cleared Senate Banking on May 14. The largest institutions are making moves. Is your firm positioned for this new era of finance? #Bullish# #InstitutionalCrypto# #MarketStructure# #ClarityAct#

Michael Lie, Global Head of Digital Assets at @FlowTraders, has been trading crypto since 2016. He knows both worlds — TradFi and crypto — and what each should take from the other. Bullish was built at that intersection: crypto-native 24/7 markets and global liquidity on the market infrastructure institutions recognize: fully segregated sub-accounts, scenario-based portfolio margining, graduated margin notifications, and a traditional default waterfall, with multi-jurisdiction regulatory alignment. Listen to Michael on what each world can learn from the other. #Bullish# #InstitutionalCrypto# #MarketStructure#

Anytime I see someone coming at @toritrades for trading with trend lines, I laugh. I don’t know what course she sells, what she charges for it, or whether it’s worth buying. I don’t get a commission, and I don’t really give a shit. This isn’t an endorsement of her business. It’s an endorsement of the tool everyone keeps mocking. Trend lines are responsible for roughly 50% of the results you’ve seen me produce. Go back through the last 10 years of price action. If you know how to draw trend lines and, more importantly, have defined rules behind how you draw them, nearly every major bottom will have some relationship to one. The problem isn’t trend lines. The problem is drawing them arbitrarily, having no system behind them, and then blaming the tool when your crayon doesn’t predict the future. Tori and I may not draw them the same way. We may have completely different rules. But I want to make one thing clear: A systematic approach to trend lines is responsible for half of what you’ve watched me accomplish. So keep talking shit about Tori and her trend lines. The people who understand them will keep laughing all the way to the bank. #DayTrading# #FuturesTrading# #TrendLines# #TechnicalAnalysis# #MarketStructure# #TradingEducation#

Most traders say Market Structure is part of their strategy. Then they build every candle around the clock. 15M. 30M. 4HR. NQ trades nearly 23 hours a day. RTH accounts for only 6.5 of those hours, yet historically carries the majority of the daily volume. That leaves roughly 16.5 overnight hours, often trading with thinner participation and more balance. Yes, the overnight session has offered some excellent opportunities lately. But should a 15-minute candle at 3:00 AM carry the same structural weight as a 15-minute candle after the opening bell? A time-based candle closes because the clock ran out, whether 50 contracts traded or 5,000. A non-time-based candle closes only after a fixed amount of participation takes place. Why judge every candle by how much time passed when participation may tell us more about how the auction actually developed? I don’t use time-based charts for intraday trading. Non-time-based charts stop assigning equal visual weight to unequal participation. The market doesn’t create structure because a timer hit zero. Same market. Different lens. Maybe it’s time to look beyond time. I might be Greek, but I don’t think I’m Socrates. If you see me post something like this, it’s because the lesson was pivotal in my journey as a trader and I believe it could change yours too. #DayTrading# #FuturesTrading# #MarketStructure# #OrderFlow# #VolumeCharts# #NQFutures#

Trending days are my kryptonite. They’ll fuck me with zero lubricant 7 out of 10 times. I know it. I own it. I’m working on it. Chop and balance? That’s where I eat. I’m primarily a mean-reversion trader. Marina is almost the exact opposite. She thrives in trend and struggles in the environments where I’m at my best. And I trained her. Good mentorship isn’t about creating a clone. It’s about helping someone discover and develop their own edge. That’s exactly why we work so well together. One trader’s kryptonite is another trader’s playground. Your edge is bigger than an entry setup. It’s knowing your environment. Knowing your strengths. Knowing when to press. And knowing when to get the fuck out of the way. Luckily, I spent most of today setting up Sierra Chart and indicators for my members. Otherwise, today probably would’ve bent me over. Meanwhile, my timeline is full of self-fellating ICT wizards posting shit like: “If your mentor didn’t teach you how to catch this move, fire him.” 🧙‍♂️ Relax, Merlin. One trending session doesn’t validate your entire strategy, and struggling during it doesn’t invalidate someone else’s. Markets don’t grade your mentor on one trend day. So, if you struggled today, stop beating yourself up. Maybe your strategy didn’t fail. Maybe you brought a knife to a gunfight. Stop trying to trade every market the same way. Know your environment. Know your strengths. Know yourself. #FuturesTrading# #NQ# #MarketStructure# #TraderPsychology#

Market structure is where most filings lose points. ENS has nothing to disclose: - No market maker agreements - No CEX or DEX allocations, lockups, or listing fees paid in tokens - No protocol-owned liquidity, buybacks, or token-secured loans - No prior token sales or OTC

Market structure disclosed in full. No active market maker agreements. 0 PEAR loaned or allocated to any market maker, verifiable onchain. A prior Skynet retainer was terminated. Liquidity is protocol-owned: Camelot V3 at 2.435% of supply, Uniswap V3 at 0.529%. No CEX listing.

Crypto market structure ethics talks are wobbling GOP Sen. Bernie Moreno said talks today were a "circus" because Dems "are trying to find reasons to vote against the bill and making up a bunch of bullshit excuses." Other members indicated progress made

Crypto market structure is changing — fast. In our report with @21shares, we break down what actually drives this market today: • Derivatives dominate (often >80% of activity on peak days) • A single event - October 10 - triggered $19B in liquidations • Regulation + institutional rails are reshaping how capital enters The shift isn’t about price anymore - it’s about structure.
