The short version
Decadent and Hunter Killer sit in the same category: both are liquidation heatmap and liquidation map tools that show where leveraged positions would be force-closed. So the honest comparison is not about category, it is about proof. The one hard difference to lead with: Hunter Killer publishes its own walk-forward accuracy scorecard, precision at N with sample sizes and Wilson 95% confidence intervals, per symbol, in public, before you pay. A liquidation heatmap is only as useful as how often its zones are actually reached, and we are willing to measure and publish that number rather than ask you to trust the picture.
What a liquidation heatmap tool is for
Every tool in this category, Decadent included, estimates the price levels where leveraged positions would be liquidated and renders them as a map or heatmap, so a trader can see where forced-selling or forced-buying pressure is stacked above and below price. That is genuinely useful context for entries, exits and stop placement, and it is why the category exists.
The honest caveat that applies to every tool in the category, ours included: the levels are estimates derived from observable inputs, not exchange-published position data. Which is exactly why the question that matters is not whose map looks better, but whose map is measured.
Where Hunter Killer is different
We deliberately do less, and prove more:
- Published accuracy before you pay. Our proof page shows walk-forward precision at N with the sample size and a Wilson 95% confidence interval for each symbol. We publish the honest record, including where samples are thin, rather than a marketing figure. Liquidation heatmap tools typically publish no walk-forward accuracy scorecard for how often their zones are reached.
- Descriptive, not overclaimed. The liquidation figures are walk-forward, descriptive measurements of the analytics, not trading performance and not a forecast. We never publish a comparison to random as a headline multiplier.
- Decision-support around the map. The Money Map focuses on the nearest actionable magnets, and a free Discipline Coach reviews your trade history against your own rules.
Honest comparison notes
A few things we want to be straight about:
- We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with Decadent. This page reflects the tool's public positioning as a liquidation heatmap and map tool as of the date shown; features and pricing change, so verify current details on their own site.
- Where we could not independently verify a specific Decadent feature from public materials, we have left it out rather than guess. That is the same honesty standard we apply to our own numbers.
- Our advantage is specific and testable: the published walk-forward accuracy record. If a public scorecard is not something you value, another heatmap tool may serve you just as well, and that is a fair outcome.
How to decide
Ask one question of every liquidation heatmap tool, including us: how often are the zones on this map actually reached, and where is that measured? If a tool answers with a public walk-forward scorecard carrying sample sizes and confidence intervals, you can judge it on evidence. Ours is on the proof page. Read the numbers, then look at the live Money Map and decide. Pricing is on the pricing page, and the free Discipline Coach needs no card.
