Whales feed showing large Hyperliquid trades and liquidation activity.
Use Proliquid Whales to track large Hyperliquid trades, whale alerts, and liquidation activity so you can see where size is entering or being forced out.
Use it to find addresses worth watching, identify aggressive buying or selling, and notice when large traders are being liquidated. Whale and liquidation notification behavior is summarized in [Alerts](/features/alerts.md).
## What the data means
| Signal | What it means | What to check next |
| ----------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Large trade | A high-notional trade printed on Hyperliquid. | Check whether it moved price or was absorbed by liquidity. |
| Repeated address | The same public address appears multiple times. | Use [Spectate mode](/terminal-sections/spectate-mode.md) to inspect public context. |
| Whale liquidation | A large position was forced out by exchange risk mechanics. | Check [Liquidation](/features/crypto-liquidations-tracker.md) and the [Chart](/terminal-sections/chart.md) for follow-through. |
| Directional flow | Multiple large trades appear in the same direction. | Confirm with [Screener](/features/crypto-screener-for-hyperliquid-traders.md) volume delta and orderbook depth. |
| Isolated event | One large print appears without broader confirmation. | Treat it as context until price, volume, or news confirms it. |
## What to look for
* Repeated large trades from the same address.
* Large liquidations during a fast move.
* Whale trades that align with news, funding, or screener alerts.
* Markets where one side is being forced out.

> Large trades are useful context, but they do not explain the trader's full portfolio or intent. Use them with price, liquidity, and market context.
