Trading in immature markets is underrated.
Wanted to share a few uncommon strategies in case anyone finds them useful.
When markets are immature, competition is low and inefficiencies are everywhere. That means plenty of value to capture.
You don’t need to master candlesticks or indicators. What matters more is understanding momentum and knowing how you define winning in those markets.
Here’s how I approach trading in immature markets:
1. Boros (@boros_fi)
Boros is still under the radar because the product feels a bit complex. That’s exactly what makes it interesting.
Once you understand how it works, trades become predictable, and you have enough time for things to play out within controlled conditions.
My play: I’ve been longing APR rates on ETHUSD (Hyperliquid).
Started when APR was around sub 10%, and still holding as rates keep breaking new highs. Funding on Hyperliquid just reached 17%.
At this point, you can either take profit from YU price or keep farming the positive rate PnL.
Now I’m building a position on Binance too. My thesis is that the 10.95% APR ceiling will eventually break. Even if it doesn’t, I still get solid rate settlement while it holds. The market is about 50% ROI long on rates now.
2. Pendle (@pendle_fi)
Part of my portfolio is dedicated to stable farming. I look for simple, reliable yield setups.
I missed a few good USDai mint entries to convert into PTs and lock in 30% fixed yield.
But recently I found a similar opportunity with GAIB (AIDaUSDC), which gives plenty of time to mint and PT as well. That side of my portfolio feels set now.
Alphas shared by @PendleIntern are usually underrated because they require effort to understand and execute.
If you take the time, the rewards are worth it. Step up and take the cake.
3. Polymarket (@Polymarket)
I also trade real-world events.
Find things you genuinely follow and build a thesis around them eg I’ve won my last two presidential election bets (Biden and Trump).
Now it’s football season.
I’ve watched the Premier League for over 10 years, and one thing I’ve learned is that every team goes through cycles.
Liverpool recently lost three games in a row, so their odds to win the league dropped from 46% to 23%.
But they’re still sitting in 2nd place, just one point behind Arsenal.
You don’t need to hold until the season ends. This is a mean-reversion trade: buy when sentiment overreacts, sell when it swings back after a few wins or a small slip from Arsenal.
Get in when it’s undervalued, get out when the hype returns.

There are more plays I’ve been testing as I push for max screentime for one final stretch.
I’ll share more of my theses on my TG channel. This cycle is the best time to go deep and stay sharp.
