Pools on any chain#

Add a pool on the Sources page (or with add_pool) by its address and chain, and ftw.trade starts indexing it, reading back as many hours of history as you ask for.

EVM chains: Robinhood Chain, Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism and Unichain read through ftw.trade's hosted RPC; add any other EVM chain with your own RPC URL. Uniswap V2, V3 and V4 pools, and Metric pools.
Solana: PumpSwap, Raydium (CPMM and CLMM), Orca Whirlpool and Meteora DLMM pools.

A pool has bars of 5s, 15s, 1m, 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h and 1d, built from its swaps. A strategy on a pool steps each bar the moment the pool has been read through it, about 5 to 7 seconds on 5-second bars. It can also read every swap: side, amounts, price, trader and transaction.

bars.usd(market, interval) is each close in dollars (a pool quoted in ETH or SOL is converted at that coin's price when the bar closed), so a market cap is bars.usd(…) * supply.

Perps and spot on Hyperliquid and Lighter#

Every Hyperliquid and Lighter market is listed under Markets → Perps & spot: perps, Hyperliquid's builder perps (stocks, gold and more, like xyz:TSLA) and spot pairs. Add one to your sources and read it as perp:<venue>:<symbol>, with its funding rate.

Prediction markets#

Every open Polymarket event is under Markets → Predictions. Each outcome is the series poly:<token id>, its price the probability from 0 to 1, with nothing to add. Every trade as it prints is on the trades stream.

Shared feeds#

Crypto, stocks, commodities and lending rates, streamed once for every account and free: Coinbase, Kraken and Chainlink prices, and more. Strategies read them as feed:<name> (1-minute bars and up).

Order books#

Any Hyperliquid, Lighter or Derive market's book, or a Polymarket outcome's, can be read now or followed live:

Now: the book's levels, from the market's page or get_order_book.
Live: a source on the books stream sends each change at most once a second, with best prices and sizes, microprice, spread, depth within 0.1% to 1% of the middle, imbalance and the top 10 levels each side.
History: record a book every 15 seconds for strategies to backtest on. See Order book strategies.

New and closed markets#

Markets → New & closed lists every Hyperliquid, Lighter and Polymarket listing, delisting, closing and resolution, checked every 5 minutes. The markets stream sends each as it happens, so a workflow can act on a new listing, and a strategy on a market that goes away stops, saying why.

Liquidations#

On Hyperliquid's largest perps, ftw.trade records where real open positions would be liquidated, a minute at a time. Strategies read it with liq.*, and the charts draw it.
