DCT Alpha vs Hyblock Capital

Both are built for derivatives traders who want to know where the liquidations sit. Hyblock leans toward indicators, research and backtesting. DCT Alpha leans toward the live market picture: heatmaps, order flow, Hyperliquid positions and an AI assistant on top of the data.

DCT Alpha is our own product. Everything said about the other tools comes from their own public pages, linked under each tool and checked on 3 October 2026. Where another tool is stronger, we say so. Prices and features change: check the source before you decide.

The short answer

  • Hyblock Capital if you want to backtest indicators, use 100+ indicators and proprietary positioning metrics, or need an API with years of history.
  • DCT Alpha if you want the order book heatmap, footprint, realized liquidations and Hyperliquid's real liquidation, take-profit and stop-loss levels in one chart, and an AI assistant that answers from that data.
  • On price, Hyblock's heatmaps start at $69/month paid yearly or $99 monthly. DCT Alpha Pro is $69/month or $745/year. Hyblock can also be free if you trade enough volume on Bybit.

The Two Platforms

DCT Alpha

Free account and a live BTC heatmap without an account. Pro $69/month or $745/year. API from $249/month.

A web platform that puts liquidation heatmaps, an order book heatmap, order flow, Hyperliquid position data and an AI assistant in one place. All market data is collected by DCT Alpha itself, straight from the exchanges and from its own Hyperliquid node.

Strong at

  • Liquidation levels, take-profit and stop-loss levels from real open Hyperliquid positions, read from our own Hyperliquid node
  • Alpha AI: an assistant inside the app that answers from the live data (32 data tools)
  • Realized liquidations from 9 exchanges, an order book heatmap and footprint in the same chart, with 72 indicators
  • On-chain whale flows for Bitcoin and Ethereum

Keep in mind

  • A young platform: realized liquidation history starts in early 2026, where the large players have years
  • Binance stopped publishing a live liquidation feed, so Binance liquidations are an estimate from open interest, marked as such
  • Web only, no mobile app
  • Footprint history covers BTC, ETH and SOL; the order book heatmap covers 39 Binance coins with 14 days of history

FAQ

Is Hyblock Capital free?

Hyblock has a free Basic plan with tier 1 indicators, the chart and one alert. Liquidation levels and heatmaps start at Advanced. New users can also get Advanced or Professional for free by trading $1M or $6M a month on Bybit.

Which is cheaper, DCT Alpha or Hyblock?

Paid monthly, DCT Alpha Pro is $69 and Hyblock Advanced is $99. Paid yearly, DCT Alpha is $745 (about $62/month) and Hyblock Advanced is $69/month. Hyblock Professional, with its API, is $399-499/month.

Does Hyblock have Hyperliquid data?

Hyblock lists Hyperliquid as a venue in its API. Positions per wallet and take-profit or stop-loss levels from Hyperliquid are not listed on its pages. DCT Alpha reads those levels from its own Hyperliquid node.

Does DCT Alpha have backtesting?

No. If testing indicators against history is central to how you trade, Hyblock's backtesting lab is the stronger choice.
