Each signal adds points. More signals aligned = higher score. The score tells you setup quality, not when to trade.
Measures how overbought/oversold the market is right now. Extremes suggest mean reversion.
| RSI < 30 (Oversold) | +20 pts · LONG · likely bounce |
| RSI 30-40 (Low) | +12 pts · LONG (weak lean) |
| RSI 60-70 (High) | +12 pts · SHORT (weak lean) |
| RSI > 70 (Overbought) | +20 pts · SHORT · likely pullback |
⚠️ In strong trends, RSI can stay extreme for hours. Always confirm with EMA.
Measures trend direction and strength.
| Price > EMA9 > EMA21 | +15 pts · LONG (bullish trend) |
| Price < EMA9 < EMA21 | +15 pts · SHORT (bearish trend) |
| Mixed alignment | 0 pts · no clear trend |
Real-time data from your Bitcoin node mempool + Etherscan blocks. Large transactions = big players moving.
| HIGH (3+ BTC / 5+ ETH whales) | +25 pts · big activity NOW |
| MEDIUM (1-2 BTC / 2-4 ETH) | +12 pts · some activity |
| LOW (quiet) | 0 pts |
💡 Whales moving = SOMETHING is about to happen. Direction isn't known yet, just pressure. This is your unique edge.
How much has price moved in the last 24 hours. Strong momentum often continues.
| > +3% (strong up) | +15 pts · LONG |
| +1.5% to +3% | +8 pts · LONG |
| -1.5% to -3% | +8 pts · SHORT |
| < -3% (strong down) | +15 pts · SHORT |
Where the current price sits relative to today's high and low. Extremes often reverse.
| Near 24h LOW (bottom 20%) | +15 pts · LONG · support bounce |
| Mid-range (20-80%) | 0 pts · no edge |
| Near 24h HIGH (top 80%) | +15 pts · SHORT · resistance rejection |
Current 5-min volume vs 20-period average. Big volume = conviction.
| 2x+ average | +20 pts · strong conviction |
| 1.5-2x average | +10 pts · elevated |
| < 1.5x | 0 pts · normal |
Liquidity quality. Trading during prime hours = tighter spreads, better fills, fewer fakeouts.
| RTH Prime (9:30am-4pm EST) | +15 pts · deep liquidity |
| US Crypto (9am-5pm EST) | +10 pts · active |
| Off-hours | 0 pts · ⚠️ thin liquidity |
⚠️ A 75+ score at 3am is SKEPTICAL — likely a low-liquidity fakeout.
| LONG | Strong bullish bias — trade it |
| LONG_WEAK | Leaning bullish but mixed — skip |
| NEUTRAL | No bias — skip |
| SHORT_WEAK | Leaning bearish but mixed — skip |
| SHORT | Strong bearish bias — trade it |
Rule: Only trade LONG or SHORT tags (never _WEAK or NEUTRAL).
| Minimum score for LIVE trade | 70+ |
| Minimum score for PAPER trade | 50+ (to build data) |
| Direction requirement | LONG or SHORT only |
| Session requirement | Active only (no overnight) |
