HTX Derivatives Analyst

Layer 2 analytical skill that orchestrates 5 atomic Layer 1 skills into a unified pressure score. Use when the user wants a one-shot read on whether a perpetual is overheated, where the squeeze risk lies, and what the directional bias is.

When to use this skill

"How crowded is BTC perpetual right now?"
"Squeeze risk on ETH-USDT?"
"Are longs or shorts in trouble on SOL?"
"Should I open a futures position on BTC right now?"
"Give me a derivatives pressure read on ETH"
"Why is the perpetual moving so fast?"

For pure technical analysis on price, prefer

htx-technical-analysis

. For just one signal (e.g. only funding), prefer the focused Layer 1 skill.

Underlying tools

This skill does not call REST endpoints directly. It composes Layer 1 skills:

Layer 1 skill	What this analyst pulls from it
`@htx-skills/funding-rate`	current rate + 30-period history
`@htx-skills/oi-tracker`	current OI + 24h trend
`@htx-skills/elite-positioning`	account ratio + position ratio
`@htx-skills/liquidation-stream`	recent 7d liquidations
`@htx-skills/mark-price`	basis kline (last 20 bars)

If those skills aren't installed, install them first:

bash

npx -y @htx-skills/funding-rate install
npx -y @htx-skills/oi-tracker install
npx -y @htx-skills/elite-positioning install
npx -y @htx-skills/liquidation-stream install
npx -y @htx-skills/mark-price install

Standard workflow

For a contract

<code>

(e.g.

BTC-USDT

), execute these in parallel where possible:

bash

# 1. Funding rate
htx-cli futures market funding-rate <code> --json
htx-cli futures market historical-funding-rate --contract-code <code> --json

# 2. OI snapshot + history
htx-cli futures call GET /linear-swap-api/v1/swap_open_interest -p contract_code=<code> --json
htx-cli futures call GET /linear-swap-ex/market/his_open_interest \
  -p contract_code=<code> -p period=4hour -p size=12 --json

# 3. Elite L/S ratio (both versions)
htx-cli futures call GET /linear-swap-api/v1/swap_elite_account_ratio \
  -p contract_code=<code> -p period=1hour --json
htx-cli futures call GET /linear-swap-api/v1/swap_elite_position_ratio \
  -p contract_code=<code> -p period=1hour --json

# 4. Recent liquidations (7d)
htx-cli futures market liquidation-orders <code> --json

# 5. Basis kline (recent)
htx-cli futures call GET /index/market/history/linear_swap_basis \
  -p contract_code=<code> -p period=60min -p basis_price_type=close -p size=24 --json

Composite pressure score

Score each dimension on 0-100 (higher = more crowded / overheated), then weighted-average:

Dimension	Weight	Computation
Funding	25%	percentile of current rate vs last 30 periods. >85 pct = score 90+
OI surge	20%	24h OI Δ%. ≥+15% → score 90; flat → 50; ≥-15% → score 10
Elite divergence	20%	abs(account_ratio − position_ratio) / account_ratio. >0.3 = score 80+
Liquidation cluster	15%	total 24h liq value / 30d avg. >2× → score 85+
Basis stretch	20%	percentile of current basis vs last 24h. extreme tail = high score

Composite 0-100 → label:

Score	Label	Interpretation
0-30	low	Calm; positions may unwind quietly
31-55	balanced	Healthy two-sided market
56-75	crowded	One side is concentrated; reversal risk rising
76-100	extreme	High-probability cleanout incoming

Squeeze risk classification

Independent of the overall score, also flag squeeze direction:

Setup	Verdict
Funding > 90 pct + elite_account_ratio > 1.5 + recent long-liq surge	long_squeeze (price likely capitulates lower)
Funding < 10 pct + elite_account_ratio < 0.7 + recent short-liq surge	short_squeeze (price likely rips higher)
Mixed	`none`

What this skill explicitly does NOT do

⚠️ No all-market long/short ratio — HTX only exposes "elite" (top trader) ratios. Retail-vs-elite divergence is not directly observable.
⚠️ No Taker buy/sell volume — HTX has no dedicated endpoint; would need to derive from trade stream.
⚠️ No liquidation heatmap — no on-platform data; would require external CoinGlass integration.

These data gaps are documented so the agent can tell the user "we have X confidence" rather than over-claiming.
