How-to guide

Screen the market

Scan the whole crypto universe for a setup happening right now, the live counterpart to a backtest.

The screener answers a different question from a backtest. Not "would this have worked?" but "where is this setup happening right now?" It ranks the tradable crypto universe against a condition or a strength score, on fresh data. Find it at /alpha.

What it does#

A backtest simulates one strategy over history. The screener does the opposite, it evaluates many symbols at once, right now, and hands you a ranked table. It's a discovery tool: use it to find candidates, then take the interesting ones to the terminal to backtest properly.

Scan types#

ScanWhat it returns
Market scanThe tradable universe with per-token strength scores, price, 24h move and volume
Market regime (RSPS)A RUN / REVIEW / SKIP verdict per timeframe. RSPS = Relative Strength Pairwise Scores
Token statsForward-outcome base rates for a signal condition on a token + timeframe
SectorsCrypto sector performance
Dominance matrixPairwise dominance across the top tokens
Custom benchmarkCorrelation and beta of the universe vs a benchmark you choose
Token multi-TFOne token's recent OHLCV plus its screener rows across timeframes
Perfect Token ProfilerA deeper async profile of a single token

Run your first scan#

Open the screener

Go to /alpha. The core scans need no login; alerts and the heavier scans are plan-gated.

Pick a scan and set filters

Choose a scan type, a timeframe, and any condition or universe filter.

Read the ranked table

Rows are ranked by strength/score. Each row links out to a chart and to the terminal.

Save it

Save a filter you'll reuse as a saved scan, so you can re-run it in one click later.

Scan alerts & notifications#

Turn a scan into a standing alert: get pinged when it starts matching, instead of checking manually.

  • Create an alert from a scan; manage them in the screener.
  • Delivery goes to Telegram or email, link a channel under your account first (the API exposes GET /v1/me/notification-channels to check which will deliver).
  • Alerts are a paid feature.
Screener vs backtest

A screener hit is not a backtested edge, it's a live signal. Confirm it by backtesting the setup in the terminal before you act on it.

Over an AI client, the same scans are available as tools on the MCP server, and over HTTP under /v1/screener/*; see the endpoint reference. Plans and limits are on the pricing page.
