Whale Transactions tracks significant capital movements within digital assets by measuring high-value transactions. It provides insights into institutional and large-scale trading activity, which may be impliciative of insider trading behavior.

The data is normalized by comparing current transaction volumes to historical averages, creating a relative measure of whale activity intensity.

To understand a predictive factors predictive power, we create a simple long/short strategy and simulate its past performance (with daily rebalancing):
The strategy is rebalanced daily, on a continuous basis. There are 0.5% transaction costs applied on each position adjustment.
Get started by validating the historical performance of the strategy with our transparent code snippets.
Copy and paste the code snippets below into your Python environment or download the files below.
