CONCEPTS

Signals, score, and risk

A signal is a token that just crossed our quality bar. Every signal carries the same four numbers regardless of chain: score, momentum, whale flow, and risk.

What a signal actually is

The engine continuously reads market activity across the supported chains. When a token shows enough momentum and smart-money interest to clear a per-chain quality gate, the engine writes a row to the signal feed and pushes it to anyone watching.

A token will not signal again for at least 30 minutes after its last call. Once the cooldown passes, if the token re-crosses the bar with fresh activity, it gets another entry. The call history view on the token page shows every entry side by side.

The score, 0 to 100

Every signal carries a single headline score. Higher means stronger conviction. A 70+ score is rare. A 50+ score is the typical alert bar. The score is the sum of two halves, each worth up to 50.

MOMENTUM

How aggressively the token is moving right now relative to its own baseline. Captures volume, the rate of new trades, and price velocity. High momentum on a fresh token means a real wave is forming. Capped at 50.

WHALE FLOW

How committed the smart side is. On EVM and Solana this counts wallet diversity, tracked smart-money addresses, and reserves growth. On Hyperliquid it reads funding rate flips and open-interest moves. Capped at 50.

A typical winner lands around 60 to 75. The rare signals above 80 are usually tokens showing both high momentum and clear smart-money confirmation in the same window.

Risk tier

Each signal also gets a LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH risk badge that is independent of the score. The score tells you something is happening. The risk tier tells you how rough the ride is likely to be.

LOW RISK

Deeper liquidity on EVM, established mcap on Solana inside the approach-breakout band, real notional volume on Hyperliquid. These are the slower, more predictable plays.

MEDIUM RISK

Mid-range liquidity or mcap, often with whale flow present but not overwhelming. Volatility is normal for the chain.

HIGH RISK

Thin book, micro mcap, deep retracement from ATH, or no smart-money confirmation. Most pump.fun signals land here by default. Treat as gambles, size accordingly.

The risk tier is computed per chain because liquidity means something different on a spot DEX, a bonding curve, and a perp market. The criteria are spelled out on the Chains page.

Reading a card

Every card has the same fields, regardless of chain.

Score 0-100, color graded. Highlighted top-right.
Now live gain since the call. Updates every refresh. Green up, red down.
Peak the highest the token has ever reached since the call. Never decreases.
Called at price and (for EVM and Sol) market cap captured at signal time.
Direction LONG or SHORT badge, Hyperliquid only.
Risk LOW, MEDIUM, or HIGH badge next to the chain tag.

Now vs Peak gain

The dashboard tracks two flavours of gain on every call so you never have to choose between "what did this give you at the top" and "what is it at right now".

Now is the live gain. A token that pumped to +500% and round-tripped will show its current state, often negative.
Peak is the high-water mark since the call. It can only go up. A round-tripped runner still reads as a winner here.

The Top gainer sort on the dashboard ranks by Peak, since the question "which token gave the biggest move" is usually more interesting than "which is up the most right this second".
