The Radar Manual
What every line, chip and number on the radar page means — what the meter charges for, and what runs for free while you sleep. Five minutes, then back to the tape.
The radar is a live feed, so it is priced like one: you pay by the minute, for as long as the tape is open. Nothing is charged while it is closed, and there is no subscription behind it — you turn it on when you want it and off when you don’t.
Behind the gate sits a frozen, clearly-marked SAMPLE of what a running tape looks like. It is there so you can see the shape of the thing before paying for it. It is not live and it never moves.
One event, one line, newest at the top. Left to right: the time, a tag saying what happened, the coin, the size, the venue it happened on, and a short note in plain words.
Behind each line is a size bar. Its width is that print measured against the loudest print of your session, so a wall of numbers becomes a shape you can read without doing arithmetic. Large prints turn brass; the very largest also step up a font size. Nothing else on the row changes height, so the tape never jumps as it scrolls.
Venues covered: Binance, Bybit, OKX and Hyperliquid. A cluster that spans more than one of them says multi.
The chips above the tape are free and instant. Everything already delivered stays in the page; the chips only change what is shown, so filtering never re-fetches anything and never costs a razor.
ALL, WHALES, LIQUIDATIONS, CLUSTERS, WALLS, FUNDING and OPEN INTEREST pick the kinds you want. The last chip is a size floor, set to ≥ $1M by default — turn it off if you want to see everything the relay sends.
Right-click any row for the menu that does the rest:
Press a symbol — on the tape, or anywhere in the rail — and a strip opens above the tape with that coin’s current readings: last price, net whale flow over the hour, funding, the one-minute change in open interest, the long/short split, and how many walls are resting in its book.
Every figure comes off the poll the tape is already making, so opening the strip costs nothing extra and adds nothing to the per-minute rate.
The tape is what just happened. The rail on the right is what has been true all hour — the numbers that don’t scroll away.
The pressure dial. One reading for the whole market: whale buying against whale selling over the last hour, across every coin the relay carries. It is measured against the hour’s total volume, not in dollars — a market that moved forty million each way is busy, not lopsided, and one that moved four million all one way is lopsided. In dollars those two come out the wrong way round.
Under the dial, MARKET shows the market’s own four numbers with a small trend line each — BTC funding, total open interest, the long/short split, and whale net for the hour. The open-interest line follows positions, not price: a rally with nobody opening anything leaves it flat. COINS shows the same readings coin by coin. HEAT lays out the 24 loudest coins of the hour as a grid: green bought, red sold, deeper colour means more money, and the percentage says how one-sided that coin’s hour was.
POP OUT moves the tape into its own small window, so you can park it beside a chart instead of keeping a whole tab on it. The window is the session — it does the polling, and it does the billing.
The rail is hidden on the page you left rather than left showing the numbers from the moment the session departed. Frozen figures next to “it moved” read as a bug.
Watches are the un-metered half of this page. A watch is a condition you arm once; the server checks it every minute and tells you when it clears, whether or not the tape is open and whether or not you are anywhere near the site. That is the whole point of them — nobody can sit on a live feed all day.
The sentence is the form. You are not filling in fields, you are writing one line of English: tell me on Telegram when there is a whale buy on SOL over $1M, at most once every five minutes. Reading a wrong choice back as a sentence is the cheapest way to catch it before it is armed.
Two ways to size a watch, and the kind decides which. Prints, walls and net flow are sized in dollars, from $50K up to $50M. Funding and open interest are sized in percent — funding carries no dollar figure at all, and open interest’s dollar number is the standing total rather than the size of the move, so a dollar bar there would mean nothing.
How often it may speak. Every watch carries a cooldown, from thirty seconds to a day. The defaults are matched to the feed’s own per-coin limits, so a watch never promises to tell you more often than the market data can actually be checked. A watch with no cooldown on a busy coin is a watch you will mute within the hour.
Where it lands. Telegram, the in-app bell, or both. Telegram needs your account linked first; the modal says so if it isn’t, and until it is, a Telegram watch rings the bell instead of going nowhere.
Slots. You get ten armed watches to start. When they are full, the modal offers another ten for razors — a one-time cost, not a rental. Delete one and the slot comes straight back.
At the foot of the modal is a log of the last 24 hours of fires, newest first. If it is empty, nothing has cleared your bars in that time — which is a reading in itself, and usually means the bar is set higher than the market has been moving.
Each watch fires at most 24 times in any 24 hours. A watch set so wide that it would speak every few minutes goes quiet at that limit instead of drowning you, and the list says so; it picks up again as its oldest fires age out.
Nothing on Razor Alpha is financial advice. The tape, the rail, the readings and the watches are educational and informational tools. They are not recommendations to buy or sell anything, and Razor Alpha is not a broker, dealer, or investment advisor.
A large print is not a prediction. Whales are wrong, liquidations cascade in both directions, and a wall can be pulled a second before price reaches it. Crypto markets are volatile and you can lose everything you put in. Any trade you take is your own decision, made at your own risk — do your own research, and never risk capital you can’t afford to lose.
