When you have a view on the market sucas vidcon is probably going to go up medium term, how do you figure out what is the best way to express that view witht the trade? I think i structure most of my positionn based off with a couple of things: liquidity and risk management. The more the bigger a position that you take, the higher the threshold has to be in terms of expected valuere sharp of the trade. If it's very marginal, the other price inbacts are going to just eat up any edge that you've got.

Today, I sat down with Su Zhu, who is the CEO and CIO of Three Arrows Capital, as well as LightCrypto.

Light is a real crypto OG and one of the largest and most successful prop traders in this space.

We’ve known each other for two years now and I have tremendous respect for his skill and clarity of thought. He’s usually very secretive, so we are thankful that he has recorded his first-ever interview with us. In this conversation, we go very deep into the process and mindset of trading, as well as Su and Light’s current views on the market and how they are positioned going forward.

My name is Hasu, and I’m a researcher, investor, and writer.
