For over two months, @Trader_M9 and I have been building what we envisioned a trading group and community should be. Over 100k lines of code, an arsenal of tools that rival professional paid options, and a group of folks I call family.
We’re opening it to the public for the first time, and the first 50 people to join will get a permanent day 1 badge and a month free in our paid area.
We will always have a great free tier with access to a light version of our tools, my 1k-100k challenge (Already 38% up) and a place you can call a real community without the endless low-cap shills and forced referalls. Join via the link below or in my bio.
Welcome to The Print Room, our own TradFi and Crypto Trading Community Oasis. Join via the whop link below. @TPR_Trading

Retail joins the HF puke, done buying the dip
All eyes on $GOLD and metals this week. Crypto needs to finish what it’s going through but limits set on either direction until i’m interested again.
Best thing about being a trader is you don’t have to limit yourself to one market. We’ll be focusing on TradFi in my corner this week in @TPR_Trading

In the 8 minutes before XPL dropped 18% today, 11 Hyperliquid accounts pulled $1.62M of margin out of their XPL longs.
Then they let the $12M position get liquidated into HLP at mark price.
HLP ate ~$0.6M.
Fresh accounts funded via CCTP. Test withdrawals 20-50 min before. 7 rejected withdrawals while scraping the margin to the limit. $0 left after.
Looks planned. Whether the same operator was short on Binance, I can't see.
Timeline (Nov 1, UTC) 👇
Oct 29-31
9 of the 10 largest accounts are created, each funded once via CCTP with $145k-$243k. On Hyperliquid the sender only shows as Circle's deposit wallet.
03:45-04:15
10 of the 11 make test withdrawals of $500-$1.6k.
04:24-04:32
10 accounts withdraw $98k-$232k each, $1.62M total.
7 more attempts get rejected: "Insufficient balance for withdrawal".
Every dollar the margin check allows comes out. The longs stay open.
04:32
XPL -18% in 1 minute, 0.086 to 0.0705.
$11.2M (144M XPL) trades on Binance perps in that minute.
Hyperliquid itself barely trades.
04:32:50-04:32:59
All 11 get liquidated into the HLP backstop vault, plus 19 small accounts.
160M XPL / $12.2M taken over at avg 0.0759, in a minute that printed a 0.0705 low.
After
All 11 accounts: $0.
Backstop vault: $1.00M to $0.44M while unwinding.
HLP daily PnL: +$21k to -$655k (~0.4% of the vault).
Why it works
Dumping $12M of XPL into the HL book would wreck your own exit.
Drain the margin first, and a small move is enough to trigger liquidation.
Liquidation hands the whole position to HLP at mark with zero slippage. HLP eats the drop after.
Same playbook as the Mar 2025 ETH whale that cost HLP $4M.
If they were also short on Binance, the crash itself was the profit.
Addresses + fills in the reply.

Happy Halloween everyone 🎃
🚨🚨 BREAKING: A MAJOR US ATTACK COULD BEGIN AT ANY MOMENT, POSSIBLY WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
The way the US and Israel are building up their forces and making preparations suggests they may be preparing for a major, great-war-level military operation.
We have been examining all the available open-source information about the geography involved and the weapons being brought into the region.
First, let’s look at the main location where US military equipment is being unloaded, installed and prepared, including bombs being fitted onto aircraft. That location is Israel.
There are also claims that Israel could become the new regional headquarters of CENTCOM in the Middle East, outside the traditional region.
American aircraft carrying weapons and military equipment are arriving there one after another.
On October 29 alone, 10 military cargo aircraft reportedly arrived within a 24-hour period, carrying supplies to Israel’s Ovda and Nevatim airbases.

The Binance hacker might have just pulled off one of the smartest moves I’ve seen in crypto.
First, Tether froze $1.5 billion in USDT.
Then Circle froze another $800 million in USDC.
At that point, it looked like the hacker’s money was trapped.
But apparently, he had already planned for that.
Instead of holding the stolen USDT in a wallet, he allegedly deposited it into Aave and used it as collateral to borrow ETH.
Then he walked away.
That’s where the story gets crazy.
Tether can freeze the USDT sitting in the wallet.
But it can’t freeze the ETH he already borrowed.
So now Aave is left holding frozen collateral, while the hacker is sitting on liquid ETH.
And unless the protocol can recover it somehow, he may not even need to pay the loan back.
Two companies froze billions of dollars in seconds.
But someone who understood how to use DeFi may have found a way around both of them.
Pretty insane when you think about it.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The described Aave deposit used only ~60M USDT as collateral to borrow 19,762 WETH before freezes hit the main wallet, not the bulk of funds; Aave states the overcollateralized position is subject to normal liquidation with no material protocol risk.
