Signal catalog
The 16-signal system
Every signal TradeSys detects, what triggers it, and the default thresholds it uses when a user hasn't set their own. Generated straight from the source of truth insrc/lib/signals.ts.
TIER 1 · LIVE
WHALE
Alerts when large trades execute on any exchange. Detect significant capital movements before the broader market reacts.
WASH
Identifies artificial volume via trade timing, size clusters, and counterparty patterns. Each flagged pair receives a confidence score.
CLUSTER
Detects coordinated trading — multiple accounts buying or selling within a tight window across the same or multiple exchanges.
ARB
Spots price discrepancies across 200+ CEX and DEX venues in real-time. Alerts when the spread between venues exceeds the threshold.
SMART
Tracks wallets and accounts with consistent outperformance. Alerts when smart money enters or exits a tracked token position.
VOLUME
Statistical baseline per token per exchange. Alerts when volume deviates significantly from the established norm.
TIER 2 · COMING SOON
LIQUIDATION
Infers liquidation cascades from single-bucket OI drops coincident with same-direction price moves. Each (token × exchange) pair has its own AI-calibrated drop + price-gate thresholds from 7 days of history.
FUNDING
Alerts when perpetual swap funding rates breach per-venue-calibrated thresholds indicating over-leveraged markets — historically precedes sharp reversals.
OI
Sudden OI changes vs each pair's 7-day baseline reveal new leveraged positioning. Combined with price direction it distinguishes informed institutional flow from speculation.
FLOW
Tracks net token flow onto and off exchanges. Large inflows signal potential selling pressure; large outflows signal accumulation.
UNLOCK
Alerts before scheduled vesting unlocks. Tracks whether unlocked tokens move to exchanges (sell signal) or cold storage (hold signal).
TIER 3 · COMING SOON
DEPIN
Network activity vs price divergence for DePIN tokens (HNT, GEOD, EAT). Flags when device growth or on-chain revenue decouples from token price.
SPOOF
Detects large orders placed and rapidly cancelled to create false buy/sell walls. High cancel-to-fill ratios above threshold trigger alerts.
MEV
Identifies sandwich attacks on DEX trades where bots insert orders around yours to extract value. Shows estimated MEV extracted per event.
SENTIMENT
Aggregated sentiment from X/Twitter, Reddit, and Telegram. Alerts on extreme fear or greed and flags divergence between sentiment and price action.
COMPOSITE
Combines wallet tracking, exchange flow, volume anomaly, and smart money signals into a single conviction score (0–100) per token.
