Are you someone who trades derivatives and always wants to seize the opportunity of the next hot project but doesn't know where to start? I have summarized several mainstream strategies for earning points—see which one suits you best.

The most common is the hedging mode across two exchanges. Some rely on frequent short-term trading to accumulate trading volume, others choose to hold positions to maintain high holdings, and some specialize in arbitrage of price differences and funding rates. There are also many who trade spot and futures spreads on a single platform or increase income through financial vaults. Of course, there are traders who rely entirely on subjective judgment and market feel.

I mainly use the first two methods and have achieved good results on derivative platforms like Lighter. But honestly, manual operation is too inefficient and prone to errors. After reviewing, manual trading really can't achieve the desired level of precision, and cost control is not ideal either.

So recently, I have been researching and testing some automation tools, aiming to reduce costs and minimize mistakes through programmatic trading. Next time, I will share the entire approach and insights on automation tools.
