A crypto desk
with real money
behind it.

Six mornings a week it reads funding, open interest and options across 33 perpetuals, then makes one call or tells you why it is sitting out. Every call is logged in public before you see it.

What lands at 07:00

One read. One call or a pass.

Three minutes, the same sections every day, so you see at a glance what changed.

Every morning

The Read

What changed overnight in funding, open interest and options, and which coins sit at an extreme.

See every section When it trades

The Call

One coin, one entry price, a stop no more than 6% away, a target and what proves it wrong. Most days it is a pass, and the issue says why.

How calls are made Sundays

The Review

The week's calls, losers first, with a post-mortem on each and one reader question answered.

What Sunday adds
The desk's chart from a test issue on 10 October 2026: FIL 4-hour candles with the 1.1345 to 1.157 entry zone, the 1.0446 stop, the 1.322 target and a 1.74R reward box marked not taken, above open interest and funding panels.
Every issue asks one question and answers it on one chart. This one is from a test run before the relaunch: the desk passed.

Behind the desk

The desk makes the calls. I take them.

I am degencoder. I have traded for over eleven years and I build trading systems. The desk reads the market and makes the call; it holds no keys and places no orders. I take every call it makes with my own money, after the issue is published.

Every call is logged to a public ledger first and graded in R, losses included. Nobody can quietly edit it, including me.

Questions readers ask

Before you subscribe

What is The Degen Desk?

A daily crypto trading newsletter. Each morning the desk reads funding, open interest and options positioning across BTC, ETH, SOL and the next 30 perpetuals by open interest, then makes one call or explains why it is sitting out. Code sets every number and enforces the desk's rules, and degencoder trades every call with real money.

When does it arrive?

07:00 UK time, Sunday to Friday. Saturday is off.

Is The Degen Desk free?

Free for the first 90 days after the relaunch. A paid tier follows. The call ledger stays public either way.

Can the results be checked?

Yes. Every call is written to a public, hash-chained ledger on GitHub before the issue is sent, and graded in R on hourly candles from the first full hour after publication, losses included.

Is The Degen Desk financial advice?

No. It is a trading diary, and the calls are published for information. Crypto is volatile and you can lose everything you put in. Do your own research.
