A market-direction-following, single-instrument, intraday (5-minute decision horizon) long/short strategy on BTCUSD.HYPERLIQUID perp that trades the analyst's EXPLICITLY untried mechanism family (c): order-book microstructure. The strategy continuously computes the top-of-book depth imbalance from full L2 order-book deltas, identifies PERSISTENT directional pressure (imbalance staying outside ±0.30 for multiple consecutive 5-minute snapshots — filtering out single-tick spoof events), and takes the direction of the pressure as a directional bet on near-term drift. Hits FOUR major quota gaps simultaneously: (1) HYPERLIQUID venue (5.8% → target ≥20%, gap of 14.2%); (2) LONG_SHORT direction (12.1% → target ≥45%, gap of ~33%); (3) SHORT_HORIZON timeframe (0.3% → target ≥10%, gap of ~9.7% — this is the single largest horizon gap in the portfolio); (4) order-book microstructure mechanism family which has ZERO strategies tried this session. Designed to be regime-independent — unlike ADA 4H breakout/reversion which failed because their edge required specific trending regimes, depth-imbalance is a flow-based mechanism that exists whenever there are makers and takers, regardless of macro trend. Different from the volume-absorption mechanism (which I previously proposed on ADA 4H) — that worked on closed-bar volume vs body-size ratios; this works on LIVE book-side asymmetry derived from order-book deltas, an entirely different data primitive.
