Market maker update, day 5 on @bulletxyz. Volume $20k → $141k/day, realized P&L +$0.75 → +$13.49/day. Chart below 👇

Today the venue's price feed froze twice. Every bot's safety breaker tripped, positions were flattened automatically, and nothing broke. Now we're adding a careful auto-restart for exactly that case.

Next: size each market to the point where bigger orders stop finding flow (about $250 for SOL), and fund the accounts to match. Goal: $50/day as the floor.

3x leveraged ZEC is now live on Hylo! $xZEC gives amplified Zcash exposure with liquidation-resistant leverage. Long privacy, automatically. Only on Hylo.

Day 3 of building a market maker on @bulletxyz in public 🧵 Day 2 was plumbing. Today I finally figured out why my bots kept getting picked off, and it mostly wasn't my code.

Where it stands: Nov 3 was my best day yet at +$1.89 across 6 bots. Yes, tiny. These are mostly $10 orders. The goal is ~$100/day, so the next few days are about size and taking more of the flow without giving the edge back.

Lesson from today: I spent days tuning logic to win races I was partly losing in the network. Measure where the time actually goes before you start optimizing code.

most people sauna incorrectly > here’s three levels of sauna > each triggers different benefits > pick your fighter LEVEL 1 11 minutes at 176°F (80°C) in a dry sauna > your heart rate climbs > blood vessels widen > more blood flows to your skin > if you’re new, start here Frequent sauna use is linked to a lower risk of cardiovascular death and lower overall mortality. LEVEL 2 20 minutes at 200°F (93°C) in a dry sauna My results: > 10+ yr reduction in vascular age > detox of environmental toxins > 87% less microplastics in blood > 100% elimination of microplastics in semen Studies show 4-7 times/week at this level is linked to a reduction in mortality, heart disease, & dementia risk. LEVEL 3 Targeting a core body temperature of ~102.2°F (39°C). I achieve this at 31 minutes at 200°F (93°C) in a dry sauna. I tracked this via a pill I swallowed. This is the deep repair tier. When your core body temperature hits a threshold that activates heat shock proteins it helps repair damaged proteins. For me, this took 33 minutes, but everyone’s number is different. I know not everyone has access to a sauna. You don’t need to do everything I do. I share these experiments so you can find something useful for your own life. If one thing I share helps you take better care of yourself, that’s a win. Do the best you can with what you have & know I’m rooting for you.

Day 2 of building a market maker on @bulletxyz in public. Yesterday was about edge. Today was about plumbing: four bugs that kept the bots from quoting at all. 🧵

Lessons: • Most of the work is plumbing, not alpha. • Ask the venue team. One answer replaced days of workarounds. • Make every shortcut auditable, and switch it off if the audit ever disagrees.

Next: the bots can finally quote nearly 100% of the time, so the data now measures strategy, not bugs. Running now: SOL at a 1.2 vs 1.6 bp half-spread for 48 h, rule fixed in advance. Results Thursday.
