Strategy and Precautions
If you're short on time, just joining the Trading Floor Telegram channel keeps you informed enough.
- Minimum route: Joining the TG channel plus connecting a wallet on Decibel is enough preparation
- Cost-effectiveness: The $25,000 pool is shared based on participant count, so wait for distribution rules before committing large funds
- Sybil risk: Duplicate entries across multiple wallets are likely to be disqualified, so avoid this
- Congestion and costs: Near the deadline, trading tends to spike, which can worsen gas costs and execution prices
When I tried a similarly structured trading competition before, gathering information early made a real difference to my approach.
There are also cases where you shouldn't join. If you lack TradFi or derivatives trading experience, or don't want to risk trading capital, there's no need to force participation.
