The best traders in this space aren't the ones with 100k+ social media followers. They're the ones either silent, or providing deep dives into trading strategies that most think are boring. They are the real alpha. They treat trading like a profession, not something to hype. – at Chester, England

Creating multiple take profit and stop loss positions should be something all traders can access, yet it's not available on most exchanges. At VDEX, set as many levels as you wish. We want you to perform well and have created the tools to enable you to do so. Together stronger.

I've never been more excited about what is being built at @0xVDEX. 100% alignment with good trading practices and actively supporting users grow their capital. If you trade well, and consistently, there has never been a better time to explore the value. My DMs are open🤝

In a space where hacks are rife and scammers outnumber actual crypto traders, why would you buy a Ledger from a third party company? The biggest flaw in security measures are humans. Why add a clear security risk by involving an additional layer that doesn't need to be involved?

Oil has become one of the hardest markets to read this year. Every weekend seems to bring a new headline from the Middle East. An attack, a threat, a ceasefire that may or may not hold. Then Monday morning the market has to decide whether any of it actually matters. Lately the answer has mostly been no. Traders have learned to look past the noise and ask a simple question: is supply really being disrupted? If it isn’t, price drifts back. The calm is worth paying attention to. It means a lot of risk is already priced in. It also means there isn’t much cushion left if something does break. Oil never stays in its own lane either. It feeds into transport, food and energy bills, and from there into inflation. That’s a big part of why interest rates are staying higher for longer than most people hoped. If you trade commodities right now, the headlines will always grab your attention. What matters is whether anything has changed in the actual supply. Learning to tell the difference will help you avoid a lot of bad trades. It's also extremely volatile at times, so remember that less leverage will help to protect positions.

I read recently that leverage flush is good news for the biggest perps exchanges, right on time for the 10th October anniversary. More liquidations equals more fees. It was written as a neutral observation, which is a sad truth of where the space is currently. Over a hundred thousand traders were wiped out in a day. Most of them were long into a level that was swept away in hours. Revenue rises with volume, volume rises with leverage, and leverage feeds the next wipeout. Every incentive in that loop points away from the trader still being here next month. I don't think that model lasts. Traders eventually work out who wins when they lose and the volume dries up. At @0xVDEX, I'd rather our numbers grow because our traders are still around and thriving a year from now. We want people to grow with us, and make profits that could change their lives forever.

Looking forward to sharing A LOT of exciting news for VDEX on The Unc Show later today. If you trade, don't miss it!

The Pudgy Penguins team built a chain designed to bring everyday people into crypto. They had a brand people loved, partnerships with Red Bull Racing and Disney, more than 400,000 users and 144 apps. By most measures in this industry, a genuine success story. That said, they still lost tens of millions of dollars and never found a model that paid for itself. Abstract chain goes dark on December 15. Blast announced the same decision only days earlier. For years this space has run on incentives and plenty of users have showed up for the reward rather than the product. When the incentives stop, in most cases so does the activity. The projects that last will be the ones people come back to because the product is worth using. That's the standard every exchange should hold itself to, ours included.

This year we've seen a large number of CEXs close down. Mainly because business models simply aren't viable anymore, oversaturation within the market, as well as competition from DEXs. @0xVDEX operates completely KYC free and does not require a VPN. Two major hurdles for traders looking to access quality trading services. We're currently expanding our pair offer across crypto, commodities, stocks and FX, as well as focusing on traders who are consistently profitable. We have lots of benefits to trade on VDEX, from 0% on trading fees to unrivalled credit deposit matching. If you trade for a living, let's chat.

The growth continues. VERDICT markets are now live. Much more to come covering finance, politics, geopolitics, technology and more. VERDICT will also provide a great hedging opportunity for those VDEX positions. Pay attention, VERDICT and Avalanche are making moves 🤝

VDEX just got a huge upgrade with Velocity. Faster transactions, zero fees. Why trade anywhere else? – at Saltney, Wales

Zero Trading Fees on Crypto, Commodities, Stocks and FX. Let the growth begin!

A quick look at where things stand after today's inflation data. Core PCE came in at 3.0% for August, well under the 3.3% the market was braced for. Headline inflation was 3.4% against 3.7% expected. After weeks of bad news on prices, this is the first real break we've had, and the market wanted it badly. Now look at the charts. The US 10-year yield has gone almost straight up this month, from just under 4.8% to near 5.3%. Watching whether yields pull back and hold above 5%, which would point to a pause, or cut back through it, may tell us the bond market thinks the Fed is nearly done. The S&P however has also spent weeks going sideways close to its highs, waiting for a reason to break one way or the other. Today could be the start of that, or it could be one more false start inside the range.

The US 10-year closed above 5.2% yesterday, the highest since 2007. Brent is around $105 and easing this morning on reports of renewed talks over the Strait of Hormuz. The Fed hiked in September for the first time in three years, and the market is pricing roughly a two-in-three chance they go again in October. PCE and jobs data both drop this week too. That's a lot of moving parts for anyone holding risk. Days like this are where most traders get hurt. One headline sends oil down, the next sends it straight back, and the instinct is to trade every move. More trades, more leverage, more fees. A lot of exchanges are built to reward exactly that behaviour, because their business runs on volume. Your churn is their revenue. I'd rather see people sit on their hands until the setup is clear. Know where you're wrong before you enter. Size correctly so one bad call on a ceasefire headline doesn't wipe out a month of work. That's the trading we want to build around at VDEX. Fewer, better trades, from people still here next year.

Everyone is winning on VDEX, great PnL here VonDoom!
