Weirdness is good. If the market is weird, it means people don't know how to exploit it, i.e. you actually have a chance of finding an edge that hasn't been exhausted by someone else.

There isn't a compendium of standard tactics that "work" in normal markets. If there were, they would no longer be profitable. Anything that works is secret & novel, and finding a novel approach to an old market is harder than finding a novel approach to a weird one.
