HypeTrader on million-dollar drawdowns and rebuilding his edge

HypeTrader, also known as @MomentumKevin, joins Sokio to talk about the wins, losses and mindset shifts behind his journey as a high-volume Hyperliquid trader.  Kevin traces his path from buying the 2013 Bitcoin top and trading the 2017 altcoin cycle to BitMEX liquidations, NFTs and eventually HYPE. He speaks openly about million-dollar drawdowns, losing most of two years of trading P&L, and why he is now sizing down and focusing on more repeatable intraday trades.  They also discuss trading stock perps on Hyperliquid, sentiment and order flow, execution costs, competing perp DEXs, the future of HYPE and whether Hyperliquid can become the home for every financial market.00:00 Buying HYPE at TGE 05:56 From the 2013 BTC top to the 2017 altcoin boom 14:26 Getting liquidated on BitMEX 22:15 Losing two years of P&L on HYPE 29:37 Making money during the 10/10 crash 34:19 Trading stocks, sentiment and order flow 37:56 Can rival perp DEXs compete? 43:19 Why he is still bullish on Hyperliquid 47:35 Tokenized stocks and Hyperliquid’s endgame
