Ranking Perpetual Futures by 24-Hour Percentage Price Change
Summary
The post asks how to identify the perpetual futures pairs with the largest 24-hour percentage price changes from exchange ticker data. The example response is a list of market records containing symbols and percentage changes, along with other fields such as last price and volume. The intended method is to sort the records by the percentage-change field and select the leading pairs.
This is a narrow data-handling question rather than a complete trading strategy. It supplies example records but no implementation, ranking results, or discussion of how to use the ranking for trades. Percentage change can rank markets by movement, but the post does not address sign handling, liquidity, fees, or whether large moves persist or reverse.
Key ideas
- Ticker records include each perpetual contract’s symbol and 24-hour percentage price change.
- Sorting records by percentage change can identify contracts with the largest values.
- The post does not explain how to translate the ranking into a trading decision.
- Liquidity, trading costs, and the direction of changes are not discussed.
