Vlad’s Take (EverHint)
- The momentum quality is strong, but insider activity argues for smaller sizing and tighter risk (trail stops / partial adds on pullbacks).
- MP: outsized news attention can extend the move yet increases reversal risk; monitor insider cadence.
- HUT: crypto-beta exposure plus insider headwind — watch for higher-low resets before adding.
Implementation tips (not advice)
- Use tiered entries and respect daily ATR for stop setting.
- Re-score daily as new insider and estimate prints arrive.
