The Scanner Manual

Each tile at the top of the page is a scanner — a pattern hunter that sweeps the market you point it at and reports every setup it finds. Click a tile to open that scanner’s panel; the tiles are the page’s tabs.

The Market tab holds four screeners. A scanner hunts a pattern and hands you a trade proposal; a screener ranks the entire market on one question and hands you a shortlist. No entry, no stop, no target, nothing feeding Setups — on purpose. They tell you where to look, and the scanners tell you what to do there.

Every screener works the same way. Learn the shape once and all four are readable: pick a venue and market, pick how many pairs, hit sweep, then read the table. Each row carries a one-word read, a handful of measured columns, and a score. Click any row to expand it; right-click for the chart and share menu.

Read against the coin, not against a number. This is the one idea that makes the whole tab work. Every screener measures each coin against its own recent history before it decides anything is unusual — Coil against its own range, Rotation against its own usual swing, Volume Pulse against its own volume and its own order flow. A 2% daily range is dead for a memecoin and a storm for a blue chip, so a fixed threshold would only ever describe one kind of coin. This is why a placid major and a violent small cap can sit in the same table and mean the same thing.

Volume Pulse — who is hitting the book

Sweeps for abnormal volume, then asks who caused it. RVOL compares the last four closed hours against the same four clock-hours averaged over fourteen days — same-clock, so the Asia and US opens stop producing false alarms. Taker buy is the share of that volume that hit the ask instead of resting on the bid: volume says how much, this says who.

The chip on each row is heat: HOT, WARM, MILD or NORMAL, with how many times its normal range the next 4 hours usually move (HOT ≈ 2×). Next 4h · typical turns that into a plain ±% for the coin. Measured on the tracked record; it says how much, never which way. The read below describes what the tape is doing.

Coil — wound tight, direction unknown

Measures how narrow a coin’s recent range is against its own last 200 bars. Range %ile of 4th means only 4% of the lookback was ever this quiet. ATR %ile asks the same thing in a way that counts gaps and wicks — when both are low the squeeze is real; when they disagree, one bar is doing the work.

Rotation — what is actually leading

Scores every coin against a benchmark — BTC, ETH, or a Top-50 basket that tracks the median alt. RS 24b is how far ahead it is over 24 bars; RS mom is the same over 6 bars, which is the rate, and it is what separates a leader still climbing from one rolling over. Both are judged against the coin’s own usual swing.

Squeeze Pulse — who is trapped

Two axes, and only two. Open interest says opening or closing. Funding says which side. It has to be funding for the second one, because every contract has a long and a short — rising open interest can never tell you who the aggressor was. Funding can, because it is literally the price one side pays the other. Perps only.

Price is not an axis here. It answers a third question — is the crowded side losing — and that is the separate squeeze tag a row can wear on top of its read.

Putting them together

The four selects in the header decide what every scanner looks at. They apply globally — change them once and every scanner on the page follows. Your choice is remembered between visits.

Scanners don’t run on their own — you pull the trigger. Open a tile, hit its scan button, and watch the results table fill as symbols are swept. Everything runs live in your browser against the venue’s public data; nothing is pre-baked.

Every hit is a card with the same anatomy: the pattern that fired, the proposed entry, a ladder of take-profits, the stop, and the R/R — how much you stand to make per unit of risk. Direction is explicit: long or short, bull or bear.

A card is a proposal, not a trade. Nothing happens until price actually reaches the entry — and nothing at all happens unless you choose to track it. Setups that never fill simply expire; they don’t count for or against anything.

Two buttons turn a card into something the platform watches for you:

Tracked positions live in your Wallet — the ◆ Tracked button in the header takes you straight there. Lifecycle events (fills, TP touches, stops) land in the ◔ Alerts bell on this page as they happen.

The four chips in the header tell you whether what you’re looking at is current:

Results live in your browser session. Re-scan when you come back — a stale grid is worse than an empty one, because it looks like information.
