1. Solana Dominance (SOLDOM) — Long, Closed
Entry: 2.4019 · Exit: 2.5200 · 50x · +245.9%
The Setup:
SOLDOM broke above 2.40 on Thursday afternoon and spent the evening either side of it. Overnight it slipped back under, and the Friday morning low was 2.3896 at 07:00 UTC, right on 2.39. The 08:00 hourly candle closed back above 2.40 at 2.4007, and the long was market opened after that close, at 2.4019, at 09:00 UTC on Friday 25 September. There was nothing to rest a limit on between price and 2.40, so it was taken at market.
Trade Management:
Stop-loss set at 2.39. It has held SOLDOM four times on daily closes, and Friday’s overnight dip stopped on it. Below it, the reclaim of 2.40 has failed. Distance 0.4950% below entry, 24.75% of collateral at 50x. Worst drawdown 0.083% at 09:19 UTC, nineteen minutes in, under a fifth of the way to the stop. Liquidation sits at 2.3563.
The Exit:
Take-profit rested at 2.52. SOLDOM has traded both sides of it and had not been there since 19 January. It filled at 07:58 UTC on Sunday 27 September. 10R off the stop.
What It Paid:
A 0.4950% stop under the reclaimed level is what carries 50x here. Move +4.92%. Net +245.9%. A stop-out would have cost 24.75% of collateral. 10R. Held 1d 23h.
Takeaway:
The dip that set the stop is the same dip that confirmed the reclaim.

2. BNB Dominance (BNBDOM) — Short, Closed
Entry: 3.6000 · Exit: 3.5500 · 40x · +55.6%
The Setup:
3.60 had held BNBDOM four times since last September and was still in play on 24 September. On Friday 25 September it gave way: the 08:00 UTC hourly candle closed under it at 3.5951, and the next six hourly candles closed below it as well. The limit short was left at 3.60 for the retest, a level that had flipped from support to resistance, and it filled at 14:17 UTC on Friday 25 September as BNBDOM traded back up into it from below. The level was already known and price was already below it, so there was no break left to chase.
Trade Management:
Stop-loss set at 3.62, a level BNBDOM has traded both sides of. A move through it turns the retest into a reclaim and the short is wrong. Distance 0.5556% above entry, 22.22% of collateral at 40x. This one was uncomfortable to hold. The 15:00 hour on Friday closed over 3.60 again, and the worst drawdown came later, 0.376% at 01:34 UTC on Monday 28 September, about two thirds of the way to the stop and the closest any trade in this edition came to its stop. Liquidation sits at 3.6864.
The Exit:
Take-profit rested at 3.55, a level BNBDOM has traded both sides of and last reached on 4 September. It filled at 09:32 UTC on Tuesday 29 September. 2.5R off the stop.
What It Paid:
Move +1.39%. Net +55.6%. A stop-out would have cost 22.22% of collateral. 2.5R. Held 3d 19h, the longest hold of the five. 40x here is carried by a 0.5556% stop.
Takeaway:
The order went in after the break, at the level that had just stopped holding, not into the break itself.

3. Ethereum Dominance (ETHDOM) — Short, Closed
Entry: 11.5648 · Exit: 11.4400 · 125x · +134.9%
The Setup:
ETHDOM climbed from 11.48 early on Tuesday 29 September to 11.6245 in the 12:00 UTC hour. That hour closed above 11.59, at 11.5955. The 13:00 candle closed back under it at 11.5706, and the short was market opened after that close, at 11.5648, at 14:00 UTC.
Trade Management:
Stop-loss set at 11.59, the level ETHDOM had just lost. It has traded both sides of 11.59 since January last year and was last at it on 22 September. Back above it, the breakout is live again and the short is wrong. Distance 0.2179% above entry, 27.24% of collateral at 125x. Worst drawdown 0.116% at 14:02 UTC, two minutes in and just over half the distance to the stop. Liquidation sits at 11.6457.
The Exit:
Take-profit rested at 11.44, this week’s open. It filled at 13:36 UTC on Wednesday 30 September. 5R off the stop.
What It Paid:
125x is the largest size here, carried by the tightest stop, 0.2179%. Move +1.08%. Net +134.9%. A stop-out would have cost 27.24% of collateral. 5R. Held 23h 36m.
Takeaway:
One hourly close back under 11.59 was the whole trigger, and the same level set a 0.2179% stop that carried 125x.

4. Tether Dominance (USDTDOM) — Long, Closed
Entry: 6.4315 · Exit: 6.5000 · 50x · +53.2%
The Setup:
6.40 has rejected USDTDOM three times, and it was in play again on 21 and 23 September. On Sunday night the 22:00 UTC hour reached 6.4079 and closed back under. The 01:00 candle on Monday closed above it at 6.4283, and the long was market opened after that close, at 6.4315, at 02:00 UTC on Monday 28 September.
Trade Management:
Stop-loss set at 6.40. With USDTDOM back below it, the break has failed and the level is resistance again. Distance 0.4904% below entry, 24.52% of collateral at 50x. Worst drawdown 0.192% at 02:14 UTC, fourteen minutes after the fill and about two fifths of the way to the stop. Liquidation sits at 6.3093.
The Exit:
Take-profit rested at 6.50, this week’s open. It filled at 05:39 UTC on Monday 28 September. 2.2R off the stop.
What It Paid:
Move +1.06%. Net +53.2%. A stop-out would have cost 24.52% of collateral. 2.2R. Held 3h 39m, the fastest of the week.
Takeaway:
A level that had rejected USDTDOM three times became the stop once a close finally went through it.

5. Bitcoin Dominance (BTCDOM) — Long, Closed
Entry: 58.7900 · Exit: 59.0000 · 45x · +16.1%
The Setup:
The limit long rested at 58.79, long-standing structure that BTCDOM has traded both sides of since January last year. It sits just above the prior week’s low of 58.71. BTCDOM opened the window at 59.36 and slid through Friday morning, and the limit long filled at 12:01 UTC on Friday 25 September, the first time price reached it. The level was marked before price got there.
Trade Management:
Stop-loss set at 58.50. It has held BTCDOM six times on the daily series and was last traded on 31 July. Below it, the prior week’s low is gone as well, and there is no support left to be long against. Distance 0.4933% below entry, 22.20% of collateral at 45x. Worst drawdown 0.157% at 14:08 UTC, about two hours after the fill and roughly a third of the way to the stop. Liquidation sits at 57.5130.
The Exit:
Take-profit rested at 59.00, a level BTCDOM has traded both sides of and was last at on 21 September. It filled at 18:46 UTC on Saturday 26 September. 0.7R off the stop, the target sitting closer than the stop by design.
What It Paid:
Move +0.36%. Net +16.1%. A stop-out would have cost 22.20% of collateral. 0.7R. Held 1d 7h.
Takeaway:
Marked at 58.79 before the slide began, filled on the first touch, and off at 59.00 a day and a half later.

Retrospective and illustrative only. Every trade shown here was selected after the fact, with full knowledge of how the week resolved. These are hypothetical results chosen in hindsight to illustrate the range of setups that dominance pairs produce in a single week. They are not a track record, not a representation of actual trading, and not a representation that any account did or would achieve these results.
Entries and exits are drawn from prices that printed during the stated window, but no fill is guaranteed to have been obtainable at any particular size, and the figures exclude trading fees, funding, slippage and price impact. Returns are expressed as a percentage of collateral at the stated leverage; leveraged positions carry a risk of total loss, and a position can be liquidated by an adverse move well short of the levels shown.
