CoinGlass Derivatives Risk Index (CDRI)

The CoinGlass Derivatives Risk Index (CDRI) is a market risk indicator developed by the CoinGlass research team, designed to quantify leverage usage, trading sentiment, and systemic liquidation risk in the crypto derivatives market. CDRI outputs a standardized risk score ranging from 0 to 100, where a higher score indicates a market environment that is increasingly overheated or vulnerable.

FAQ

1. Introduction to the CoinGlass Derivatives Risk Index (CDRI)

By incorporating multiple weighted indicators — including open interest, funding rates, leverage ratios, long-short imbalances, volatility, and liquidation volumes — CDRI offers a real-time snapshot of market risk, suitable for trading risk control, quant strategy design, and product integration.

2. Score Meaning & Risk Levels

Score Range	Risk Level	Market Status	Strategic Recommendation
0 - 30	Low Risk	Calm market, conservative leverage	Consider increasing exposure with flexible plans
30 - 60	Neutral	Healthy structue, moderate sentiment	Continue standard trading strategies
60 - 80	High Risk	Leverage buildup, speculative behavior rising	Reduce exposure, tighten stop-loss sensitivity
80 - 100	Extreme Risk	Excessive leverage / FOMO, elevated liquidation risk	Focus on defense, avoid short-term directional bets

3. Core Index Components (Simplified)

CDRI is built on the following seven core risk indicators:

Total Open Interest (OI): Reflects overall leverage volume. Rapid increases signal potential overheating.

Funding Rate: Indicates cost of holding long/short positions. Extreme positive/negative rates often precede reversals.

Average Leverage Ratio: Measures trader risk appetite, across both retail and institutional accounts.

Long/Short Imbalance: Reflects directional overcrowding. High bias (e.g., 90% long) indicates concentrated liquidation risk.

Implied Volatility: Gauges expectations of future price swings. High IV = greater uncertainty and shock potential.

24h Liquidation Volume: A surge in forced liquidations signals systemic stress and risk release.

Volume Heat Change: Spikes in trading volume often indicate FOMO or panic phases.

All indicators are normalized (0–100) and weighted to compute the final CDRI score.

4. Update Frequency & Data Pipeline

To ensure real-time accuracy and stability, CDRI leverages high-frequency data aggregation from major exchanges. Details include:
