How to use the catalogue
Each meta-basket is a distinct strategy with its own coins, leverage, holding duration and risk profile — gated by the market conditions it was built for. Pair each one with the market regimes it was designed for, so exposure only turns on when the environment matches.
These 50 are the top-level set; finer setups live as sub-strategies, signals and directional variants beneath them. The taxonomy spans directional cycle plays, funding & liquidation mechanics, price structure, macro & institutional flows, crypto-specific catalysts, and narrative rotation — one map of the whole systematic-perps opportunity set.
