How to read the Radar, and what its words mean.

What the Radar does

Every night, after the daily close (midnight UTC), the Radar analyses 50 cryptocurrencies with the same rules for all of them. It looks for favorable technical setups and, above all, filters out false signals. Its most frequent verdict is “Wait”, by design.

Reading a card

The verdict: Wait (conditions not met), Watch (one condition is missing, and the app says which), Favorable setup (everything aligned, with no trap or lock). Signal invalidated: a recent setup has seen its score fall back below 40.
The score out of 100 measures the quality of the technical setup. It is never a probability of gain.
The 5 pillars: trend (30 points), volume (20), context (20), momentum (15), structure (15). Each criterion met or missed is shown.
Traps remove points; some are locks that block the verdict, even with a high score.
The “Crypto Radar verdict” box sums up trend, timing, confirmation and breakout, and explains the decision in one sentence.
The chart shows candles, moving averages, the invalidation level and past setups; the score history shows whether it is moving towards 60 or 40.
The signal history replays the last 12 months with the current rules, losing signals included.

The rule tested on past data

The Radar's rules were tested on the history of all 50 cryptos since 2019. The rule that gave the best balance is:

Entry: only on a Favorable setup, never on Watch.
Exit: when the score falls back below 40 (“Signal invalidated” badge and notification). Between 40 and 60, the rule does not exit.
Holding time: usually a few days to a few weeks. Selling the next day or using a fixed target (+10%) gave worse results.

Many positions end with small losses; gains come from a few strong rises. These are past results, not a guarantee, and this is not personal advice.

Good practice

Never invest more than you can afford to lose.
Check the Radar once a day, in the morning: the score only changes after the midnight UTC close.
Add your cryptos to favorites and turn on notifications: you will be told without watching the app.
Don't chase an intraday rise: the score does not see what happens during the day.
A technical alert (broken support, move below the MA200…) is an observation, not an order to sell.

Pro tools

30 more cryptos: the next ones in the ranking, marked “PRO”. Being smaller, they move harder: in our tests, drops during a position were much deeper than on the top 50.
Weekly report: every Monday, a market summary (share of cryptos above their MA200, Bitcoin), the favorable setups, the week's new setups and invalidated signals, and the biggest score rises and drops.
Backtest lab: choose a crypto, an entry rule (favorable setup or score threshold), an exit threshold, a stop and a maximum length; the lab replays these rules on the history since 2019 and compares them with simply holding. With the default settings, it matches the app's signal history.
Custom alerts: “tell me if SOL falls below €120” or “if the BTC score rises above 60”. The price is checked every hour, the score after each close. Turn on notifications in “My account”.
Excel export: your positions, a crypto's signal history and the lab results, in a file that opens in Excel or Google Sheets.

A lab result is a simulation on past data, not a promise. An alert is a threshold being crossed, not an order to buy or sell.

Glossary

MA20, MA50, MA200: Average closing prices over 20, 50 and 200 days. The MA200 roughly separates long-term uptrends from downtrends.
RSI: An indicator from 0 to 100 measuring the strength of recent rises versus falls. Above 70: overbought, risk of a pullback.
MACD: The gap between two exponential averages; crossing its signal line points to a change of pace.
Volume: The amount traded. A rise on volume has real buyers behind it.
Support, resistance: Levels where price has already bounced (support) or stalled (resistance).
Breakout: A close above a resistance. Confirmed when it holds, on volume. False breakout: price falls back below.
Divergence: A disagreement between price and RSI, for example a new price high without a new RSI high: the move is losing steam.
ATR: The average size of daily moves: used to judge whether a move is large or normal for that crypto.
Efficiency ratio: Net price change divided by the total path travelled over 20 days. Low: price goes back and forth (“directionless market”).
Confluence: Agreement between several timeframes (4-hour, daily, weekly).
Invalidation level: The price below which the technical setup no longer makes sense.
Lock: A condition that blocks the “Favorable setup” verdict whatever the score: Bitcoin bearish, price below the MA200, directionless market, false breakout…
