The OODA Loop Framework
In crypto, speed matters. The OODA Loop helps you make faster, better decisions.
What is OODA?
OODA stands for:
- Observe - Gather information
- Orient - Analyze and contextualize
- Decide - Choose your action
- Act - Execute decisively
- Monitor on-chain data
- Track social sentiment
- Follow whale wallets
- Watch governance proposals
- Compare to historical patterns
- Consider market conditions
- Evaluate risk/reward
- Check your biases
- Set clear entry/exit points
- Define position size
- Plan for multiple scenarios
- Accept the risk
- Execute without hesitation
- Don't second-guess
- Monitor results
- Loop back to Observe
Applying OODA to Crypto
Observe
Orient
Decide
Act
Why This Works
Crypto markets are adversarial. Those who cycle through OODA faster win. While others are still observing, you're already acting.
