How to read a signal card CryptoLogix
Under every signal the bot shows six proprietary metrics. They answer simple questions: where the price sits in its range, whether the bottom has held, whether the coin is overheated and what the whole market is doing right now. Each line is explained below: what it measures, how to read it and what it does not mean.
0.002689 — 0.00299 · width 11.2%Dealing range (trading range)
A term from the Smart Money Concepts (SMC) approach: the range from the latest swing low (the bottom) to the latest swing high (the top). The lower and upper bounds the coin is moving between right now. The bot finds the latest notable reversals down and up (swings) on the hourly chart and draws the bottom and top through them. When the price makes a new extreme, the bound moves with it.
How to read a
- Width — the distance from bottom to top in percent. A narrow range (up to 8%) means a calm coin, a wide one (15%+) means big swings.
- It is the same range the trading agent itself works with: it only enters near its edges.
It does not mean the price must reverse at the edge. The range describes where the price has been, not where it will stop.
Position (position in range): Discount · Equilibrium · Premium
Where the price is inside the range right now: 0 — at the very bottom, 1 — at the top, 0.5 — exactly in the middle (equilibrium). In classic SMC markup everything below 0.5 is discount , everything above 0.5 is premium ; below are our agent's working bounds inside this markup. The scale divides the market into zones. These are the same bounds the trading agent uses.
Discount does not mean “time to buy”. It is a coordinate, not a signal: a discount right after a fresh dump is not a bottom yet. That is what line 3 is for.
Swing high / Swing low (maturity of the top and bottom)
Shows the edge of the range closest to the price: the bottom if the price is in the lower half, the top if it is in the upper half — and how many hours ago that extreme was made. A bottom differs from a merely low price not by depth but by time: a real bottom is a low that has held and from which the price has already moved away.
Distance
- How far the price has already moved from this edge, in ATR (average hourly moves). 0.5 ATR — the price is still right at the edge, 3 ATR — it has moved well away.
In our trade history, buys from a bottom younger than 30–36 hours ended worse on average than buys from a bottom that had held for one and a half to three days.
Stretch (stretch from the 24h extreme)
How far the price has moved over the last 24 hours from its high (minus) or low (plus). It is measured not in percent but in ATR — the average hourly moves of this particular coin. So 5% means different things for a calm coin and a very volatile one, while stretch in ATR is comparable across all coins.
An extreme stretch in a single coin does not by itself mean a bounce. It becomes meaningful when many coins are stretched at once — that is line 6.
Order flow (pressure at the edge)
When the price touches the top or bottom of the range, the bot looks at the next hourly candle: who traded more aggressively with market orders, buyers or sellers. Shown only for extremes no older than 72 hours.
How to read the σ number
- It is the imbalance compared with what is usual for this coin over the last 100 hours. Around 0 — nothing unusual.
- −1σ and below — sellers were pushing noticeably harder than usual. +1σ and above — buyers were.
- The note “looks like a liquidity sweep”: the price pierced the top with a wick, closed back below it, and active selling followed. In our history such pierces held above the top noticeably less often than usual.
This is a hint about the nature of the move, not a trade signal: a buy or sell imbalance alone does not guarantee the outcome.
Market breadth (how many coins are selling off)
The only line that is about the whole market rather than the selected coin. Once an hour the bot checks the 150 most traded Binance futures and counts how many of them are in a sharp sell-off — down 8 ATR or more from their 24h high (see line 4).
During a sell-off wave coins move together, and the levels of an individual coin hold worse. In a calm market lines 1–5 tell you more about the coin.

| Line | What it shows |
|---|---|
| 🟢 LONG / 🔴 SHORT | The signal direction: a buy for a rise or a sell for a fall. ⚪ “Neutral” — there is no signal right now; the card shows only the state of the coin. |
| Market mode | 📈 uptrend · 📉 downtrend · ↔️ range · 🚀 breakout · ⚡ high volatility — the general character of the coin's movement right now. |
| Quality ★ | The bot model's rating of how reliable the signal is: 5★ prime, 4★ good, 2★ risky, 1★ high risk. At 1–2★ the trading agent will not open such a trade. |
| 💰 Entry | The price the levels are calculated from. |
| 🎯 TP | Take-profit — the target where profit is taken. In brackets: % from entry and R/R — the ratio of potential profit to the risk up to the stop. |
| 🛡️ SL | Stop-loss — the level where the scenario is considered broken and the position is closed at a loss. |
| ⏳ Valid | How many hours the signal is considered valid. If the price reaches neither the take-profit nor the stop within this time, the agent exits at market. |
| 📊 24h | The 24h price change, the 24h high and low, and trading volume in dollars. |
An R/R below 1 is normal for our strategy: the take-profit is placed closer than the stop, but it is reached noticeably more often.
📈 Timeframe scores
The bot looks at the coin on three scales: 15M — the next few hours, 1H — one or two days, 4H — a week. Each has its own score: plus means the picture favors a rise, minus means it favors a fall. The larger the absolute number, the clearer the picture.
When the signs match on all three, the move is aligned. When they diverge, the shorter scale is going against the longer one, which is often a correction.
📌 Factors · ⚠️ Risks · 🧠 AI
Factors — the main arguments for the signal in plain words: where the price is in the range, what the volume is doing, what the momentum is doing.
Risks — what could get in the way: nearby resistance, low volume, a move against the higher-timeframe trend.

📊 Indicators and how to read them
Classic indicators on the hourly chart. The bot labels which zone each value is in — below are the ranges behind those labels.
| Indicator | What it measures | Ranges in the card |
|---|---|---|
| RSI | The strength of recent up moves versus down moves, on a 0–100 scale. | <30 oversold 🔻 30–45 below neutral 45–55 neutral 55–70 above neutral >70 overbought 🔺 |
| Momentum | Where the price momentum on the hourly chart is pointing right now. | 🟢 bullish — momentum up 🔴 bearish — momentum down |
| ADX | Trend strength without direction: a high ADX happens in both rises and falls. | <20 ranging 20–25 weak trend >25 trending |
| Volume | The last hour's volume relative to the average of recent hours (1.0x — as usual). | <0.5x 💤 very low 0.5–0.8x 📉 low 0.8–1.5x normal 1.5–2x 📈 high >2x 🔥 extreme |
| ATR | The average hourly move in percent — how “volatile” the coin is. | <1% low 1–3% medium >3% high volatility |
| OBV | Whether volume confirms the price move. | 📈 rising — confirms 📉 falling — diverges from price |
| BB width | The width of the Bollinger Bands — how compressed the market is. | <2% narrow range, often before a move |
Overbought (RSI > 70) does not mean “it will drop now”: in a strong trend RSI can stay high for a long time. Indicators describe past hours, not the future.
📌 Support, resistance and moving averages
Price levels the market often reacts to. In brackets — how far the level is above (+) or below (−) the current price.
All averages in the card are calculated on hourly candles (the “1H Levels” label): EMA 200 here is 200 hours, about 8 days. It is not the “200-day average” built on a daily chart: that one covers almost 7 months and changes much more slowly.
| Level | How it is calculated | How to use it |
|---|---|---|
| 🛡️ Support | The lowest price over the last 50 hours. | The nearest “floor”: buyers have already stopped a fall there. A break below is a sign of weakness. |
| 🧱 Resistance | The highest price over the last 50 hours. | The nearest “ceiling”: a rise has already stalled there. Nearby resistance limits a long's upside. |
| 📈 EMA 20 | The average price of the last 20 hours, weighted toward the most recent. | The short-term trend. Price above it — the next hours favor a rise. |
| 📉 EMA 50 | The same over 50 hours (~2 days). | A medium-term guide that often acts as dynamic support or resistance. |
| 📊 EMA 200 | The same over 200 hours (~8 days). | The main trend filter: price above EMA 200 — the coin's market is rising overall, below — falling. |
| 📊 VWAP | The volume-weighted average price over recent weeks. | The “fair” price at which most trading took place. Above VWAP — buyers are in profit on average. |
Support and resistance here are simply the low and high of the last 50 hours. The range in the Insight block is built differently, from price reversals (swings), so their bounds may not match.
Glossary
- ATR
- The coin's average move per hour (over the last 14 hours). A handy yardstick: “3 ATR” means the same for a calm coin and a very volatile one.
- Swing
- A notable price reversal on the chart: a local high (swing high) or low (swing low) after which the price moved the other way.
- Equilibrium
- The middle of the range, position 0.5.
- σ (sigma)
- How unusual a value is for this coin: ±1σ — noticeably above or below the norm, around 0 — as usual.
- Liquidity sweep
- A wick through a level with a quick return: the price collected the stop orders beyond the level and came back.
FAQ
Is this a trade signal?
No. The block describes the state of the market. The signal and levels are in the main part of the card.
Why do the numbers differ from my chart?
The bot calculates on Binance futures and only on closed hourly candles. Spot and other exchanges have slightly different prices, and an open candle is still changing.
How often does it update?
The coin's metrics — on every signal request. The “Market breadth” line — at most once an hour.
Why is the “Market breadth” line sometimes missing?
If the market recalculation is still running, the line is simply not shown in that card and will appear in the next one.
