Why pseudonymous?
A stable pseudonym attached to an auditable on-chain trading history is strictly more accountable than a legal name attached to unverifiable claims. You can watch every position I open, every liquidation I eat, and every funding payment I collect in real time. A real name on a Twitter bio tells you nothing; a wallet address tells you everything. If the trading thesis is wrong, the PnL shows it immediately — no screenshots, no selective memory.
Affiliate disclosure
Every "Open GMX" or "Open Hyperliquid" button on this site uses my referral code. On GMX this gives you a 5% trading-fee discount that you would not otherwise receive — it is strictly better for you than going direct. There are no paid subscriptions, no gated content, no Discord tiers, no courses. Referral rebates are the only revenue source.
Per Google's guidelines, all affiliate and referral links on basiscalc.xyz carry rel="sponsored nofollow".
Nothing here is advice
basiscalc.xyz is an educational and research site. Nothing on it is financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Perpetual futures are leveraged derivatives and can result in the total loss of deposited capital. Do your own research, size your own risk, and assume every number you see here could be wrong.
