The short version
Laevitas is a broad crypto-derivatives data and analytics platform: option chains, implied volatility and Greeks, funding rates, futures basis, order-book data and a strategy builder, aimed at quantitative analysts and institutional desks. Hunter Killer is narrower and deeper on one thing: the liquidation Money Map and the decision-support around it, plus one thing a general data platform does not ship.
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 map 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 Laevitas does well
Based on Laevitas's public materials as of the date below, its strengths are depth and professionalism in derivatives data:
- Full options analytics: option chains, trade flows, implied volatility, Greeks and term structure.
- An options strategy builder and backtesting for structures like straddles and strangles.
- Broad venue and asset coverage across options, perpetual futures and dated futures.
- Programmatic access (API and data feeds) aimed at quant and institutional workflows.
For a desk that wants institutional-grade options and derivatives series to feed its own models, Laevitas is a serious option. This page is not a claim that it is bad. It is a comparison on the single axis we think matters most for a liquidation tool.
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. Broad derivatives data platforms typically publish no walk-forward accuracy scorecard for liquidation levels.
- 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.
- A focused surface, not a terminal. The Money Map concentrates on the nearest actionable liquidation magnets instead of a wall of metrics, 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 Laevitas. The description above reflects our reading of their public materials as of the date shown, and features and pricing change, so verify current details on their own site.
- Laevitas covers far more of the derivatives landscape than we do, options analytics above all. If your work is volatility, Greeks, or strategy backtesting, that depth may matter more to you than a published liquidation accuracy scorecard.
- Our advantage is specific and testable: the published walk-forward accuracy record for liquidation levels. If that is not something you value, a broad derivatives platform may serve you better, and that is a fair outcome.
How to decide
Ask one question: do you want a full derivatives data platform to build your own analysis on, or do you want to know how often the zones on a liquidation map are actually reached? If the first, Laevitas and tools like it are built for that. If the second, start with our proof page, read the numbers with their sample sizes and confidence intervals, then look at the live Money Map and decide. Pricing is on the pricing page, and the free Discipline Coach needs no card.
