Cryader Signals — Help

Click any pill/chip to see an explanation. Use the dropdowns below to understand how to use the Signals page (Beginner, Expert, and Search).

Important: Cryader is not a “buy/sell now” button. It summarizes market behavior so you can decide what to do — or what to watch — with context.
Beginner: how to use Signals

Beginner mode is for fast scanning. Focus on Theme, Bias, Momentum, and Confidence.

  • Theme (bull/bear/sideways) sets expectations.
  • Bias tells the lean (don’t treat it as a command).
  • Momentum shows whether the move is accelerating or fading.
  • Confidence tells whether timeframes agree (clean vs chop risk).
Rule of thumb If confidence is low + sideways, treat it as “wait mode.”
Expert: deeper validation + mode toggle
Beginner = meaning Expert = evidence

Expert mode is where you validate the “why” using supporting metrics:

  • RRR to compare reward vs risk potential.
  • Target to set near-term expectations (not a promise).
  • Key TF to see which timeframe is driving the move.
  • Heat / State to confirm strength or choppiness.
  • Gains ladder to see how the move behaves across time windows.
Use Expert mode when you’re creating filters, building rules, or debugging why something looks bullish/bearish.
Search & Filters: how to use in Signals

Signals search is for narrowing the live results set. Think “find a condition,” not “search the tutorial.”

  • Symbol search: type BTC, SOL, XRP… to focus a coin fast.
  • Market Type search: surge, pressure, cooling, bounce, stable, choppy…
  • Directional intent: bullish / bearish / sideways to match the theme.
  • Quality filter: confidence high/med/low to control noise.
  • Execution friction: filter by spread to avoid bad fills.
  • Expert filters: RRR ranges, heat thresholds, key timeframe, state labels.
Practical flow Start wide → filter by theme → require confidence → then tighten spread/RRR.
1) What you’re looking at
One card = one symbol snapshot.
Each card condenses multiple timeframes into bias, market type, momentum, confidence, and (in Expert mode) deeper metrics like RRR, targets, key timeframe, heat, and gains.
Beginner vs Expert is only a visibility layer.
The underlying analysis is the same — Expert mode exposes more raw metrics and supporting evidence. Use Expert mode when you want to validate the “why.”
2) The meaning of the card theme

Bullish theme = market leans upward / buying pressure dominates.

Use it as “current bias,” not certainty.

Bearish theme = market leans downward / selling pressure dominates.

Often useful for avoidance or tighter risk.

Sideways theme = consolidation / indecision / chop risk.

False moves are more common here.

Why theme matters (quick)
Theme is your fastest “scan signal.” It sets expectations: trending markets behave differently than choppy markets. Many strategies avoid chop by default, or require higher confidence and tighter filters.
2.5) Movement icon legend (Live + HM together)
How to read the movement icons (▲ △ ▼ ▽ ■)
Movement Icon Legend
▲ ▼ ■
Direction

▲ Upward pressure
▼ Downward pressure
■ Neutral / no movement

▲ △
Strength

Filled = strong / high conviction
Outline = weaker / informational

▲ △
Source

Large icon = Live / Ticker move
Small icon = Heatmap (HM)

▲ △
Combined read

Big ▲ + small ▲ = live move confirmed by HM
Big ▲ + small ▽ = live move, HM diverging (watch risk)
Only small icon = HM pressure without live confirmation

Rule of thumb: big filled arrows mean “something is happening now”. Small arrows tell you whether the heatmap agrees or disagrees.
3) Full example card (Bullish)
BTC-USDT Bias: Bullish
SPOT · KUCOIN
⚡ Bullish Surge
⏫ Momentum increasing
🟢 Bullish
📈 Bullish Surge
Spread 0.12%
Key TF 15m
🔥 82
State Trend rising

How to read this quickly:
Bullish bias + increasing momentum + high confidence often means “the move is active.”

How to use it:
If you hold it: supports “hold + watch exits.” If you don’t: “watch for your entry rules,” not FOMO (fear of missing out).

Why does Cryader label this “Bullish Surge”?
In general: “Surge” means multiple recent timeframes are rising strongly and momentum is accelerating. In Expert mode you’ll also see supporting metrics like key timeframe, heat, and the gains ladder.
4) Full example card (Bearish)
SOL-USDT Bias: Bearish
SPOT · KUCOIN
📉 Bearish Pressure
⏬ Momentum fading
🔴 Bearish
🔥 Bearish Pressure
Spread 0.38%
Key TF 5m
🔥 61
State Trend falling

How to read this quickly:
Bearish bias + fading momentum often signals weakness, pullback, or continuation risk.

How to use it:
If you hold it: consider “protect mode.” If you don’t: wait for stabilization or reversal alignment.

🟡 Medium confidence

🎯 Target -1.10% / 15m

📊 Trend Falling
What does “Bearish Pressure” usually imply?
“Pressure” is often used when downside force is persistent, or the tape keeps failing to reclaim levels. It’s useful for avoidance and risk tightening, especially when combined with higher spread (friction).
5) Sideways / Chop (why it matters)
XRP-USDT Bias: Neutral
SPOT · KUCOIN
📊 Stable / Sideways
⏹️ Momentum flat
⚪ Neutral
📈 Stable / Sideways
Spread 0.22%
State Choppy / mixed

Why this matters:
Sideways/choppy markets produce more fake-outs. For many strategies, this becomes “wait mode.”

Expert mode may show State: choppy/mixed when timeframes disagree.

🔴 Low confidence
28%
What’s the best action in chop?
Usually: don’t force it. Either wait for confidence to rise, or switch to a range strategy that’s designed for chop. Many users treat low-confidence chop as “avoid unless you’re advanced and know the range rules.”
6) Quick “how to use this” workflow

Fast workflow

  1. Scan theme + bias (bullish/bearish/sideways).
  2. Check momentum (increasing vs fading vs flat).
  3. Check confidence (alignment across timeframes).
  4. Expert: confirm RRR + target + key timeframe + heat + gains ladder.
  5. Decision: watch / hold / avoid, based on your own rule set.
Tip: Use a “watchlist” flow as your lightweight tracking system. Watch = track movement since baseline
7) Glossary (dropdowns)
Bias — directional
Bias is your quick “wind direction.” It tells whether the recent tape leans bullish, bearish, or neutral.
scan signal directional lean not a command
Market Type — phase label
Market Type describes the “kind of move” happening. Two bullish charts can behave very differently depending on phase.
phase surge pressure cooling
Momentum — acceleration
Momentum tells whether the move is getting stronger or losing energy. It’s one of the best “timing” cues.
timing increasing fading flat
Confidence — agreement (not certainty)
Confidence measures alignment across timeframes. High confidence = cleaner read. Low confidence often = chop/fake-outs.
alignment clean vs chop not certainty
RRR — risk/reward ratio
RRR compares potential reward to potential risk. Higher can be attractive, but only if the setup quality matches.
risk reward probability matters
Heat / State — supporting evidence
These are supporting metrics for power users: Heat (strength), Key TF (driver timeframe), and State (rising/falling/choppy).
evidence key timeframe strength choppy detection
Movement Icons — live + HM arrows
Big icon = live/ticker movement. Small icon = heatmap confirmation. Filled = stronger tier. Outline = weaker tier. Mixed directions = divergence.
