As a trader, there is barely a time that you can transparently share edge, but since FTX has gone down, it is clear that this strategy is never coming back, and I thought I would share insight on how i extracted round 5000% of value from the incompetency off SBF (1/x)

"Every single day I would just 20x long or short."
@adlay_eth joins the Insilico Terminal Podcast to talk about front-running FTX's leveraged tokens, arbitrage, and calling the FTX collapse.
We covered how he went from jazz to arbitrage bots, the rebalance math behind the FTX rate trades to Australian funds, shorting UST, modelling stablecoin depegs at Y2K Finance, and what he's building at Insilico Terminal now.
00:00 Intro: going from jazz to code
07:52 Why he started with arbitrage, not TA
12:01 Fat-finger arbitrage, new-listing spreads
21:28 Frontrunning FTX leveraged token rebalances
38:21 Selling funding trades to Australian funds
48:00 Calling the FTX collapse
56:39 Shorting UST, depeg models at Y2K Finance
1:02:17 Why Insilico Terminal, what he's building
1:12:35 Final advice: drop the ego
