Technical Overview

How btccampus Works

A transparent look at the automated trading engine that scans, scores, gates and executes crypto trades on your own exchange account.

1

System Overview

btccampus runs a disciplined pipeline every 5 minutes: scan the market, score candidates with rule-based technical analysis, pass them through strict risk gates and an AI review, then size and execute on your exchange with protective orders attached. Most candidates never survive the gates — by design.

Market Scan

Every 5 minutes, all USDT perpetuals on your exchange are pulled with fresh 1-hour candles, price and 24h volume. Coins under $10M daily volume or outside the 0.5%–12% move window are dropped immediately.

Signal Scoring

EMA 9/21/50 trend structure, RSI, MACD, Bollinger position and volume combine into a LONG / SHORT / NEUTRAL candidate with a 0–100 strength score.

Risk Gates & AI Review

Cooldowns, blacklists, over-extension vetoes, your daily limits and the news filter all get a veto. A market-wide AI layer can halve leverage or halt new entries entirely.

Sizing & Execution

Leverage comes from your risk level scaled by signal strength; margin from your position-size setting. The order executes on your exchange with ATR-based take-profit and stop-loss attached.

Position Management

Open positions are synced back from the exchange; PnL, close reasons, cooldowns and your daily limits update continuously.

Data Sources

Every number in the system comes from a real, named source — nothing is simulated. These are the feeds the engine and the dashboard actually use.

Price & Volume Data

Live 1-hour OHLCV candles and tickers straight from your connected exchange — the same market your trades execute on

Derivatives Data

Liquidations, long/short ratio and funding rates from Coinglass

News & Sentiment

Crypto news reviewed by an AI layer for per-coin red flags, plus the Fear & Greed index

On-Chain Metrics

Large transfers from Whale Alert and BTC exchange-flow analytics from CryptoQuant

Global Market Data

Total market cap, BTC dominance and coin metadata from CoinMarketCap

AI Market Review

A Claude model reads the data above and produces the market bias and risk verdict

Honest Refresh Rates

Market data refreshes every few minutes and is cached between runs. We show real numbers at honest intervals — never fabricated “real-time” noise.

Multi-Layer Analysis

Rather than relying on a single indicator, the engine combines four independent perspectives. Each one can veto or weaken a trade, and their agreement is what produces a high-strength candidate.

Technical Analysis Layer

Price-Based

Deterministic math over 1-hour candles: EMA 9/21/50 alignment and slope for trend, MACD cross and histogram for momentum, RSI(14) for exhaustion, Bollinger position for volatility context, ATR(14) for exit distances.

EMA 9/21/50 RSI 14 MACD Bollinger Bands ATR 14

Market Risk Layer

Derivatives-Based

Watches the conditions that wreck leveraged positions: liquidation cascades, extreme funding rates and volatility spikes. When the environment turns hostile it cuts leverage or stops new entries entirely.

Liquidations Funding Rates Long/Short Ratio Volatility Spikes Fear/Greed Index

News & Flow Layer

Event-Based

An AI layer reads crypto headlines and flags coins with fresh red flags — hacks, delistings, regulatory hits — so the engine skips them. Whale transfers and BTC exchange flows add context on where big money is moving.

AI Review Layer

Claude-Powered

A Claude model reviews the combined picture — market bias, risk conditions, news — and issues a verdict the engine obeys: trade normally, halve the leverage, or stand down until conditions improve.

Signal Scoring Logic

Indicator confluence produces a 0–100 strength score for every candidate, alongside a confidence value. Strength does not just rank trades — it directly scales how much leverage a trade is allowed to use.

Momentum (MACD)

Strength Controls Leverage

Strength 80+ takes the full leverage of your risk level; 60–79 takes ×0.7; below 60 takes ×0.5. Confidence must be at least 50 or the trade is skipped. And counter-intuitively, a sky-high score is treated with suspicion — a coin already up more than 7% in 24h is vetoed for LONG entries, because chasing is how accounts die.

5

Market Regime Detection

Markets behave differently under different conditions. Our system continuously classifies the current market regime and adapts its analysis accordingly. This regime-awareness helps prevent false signals that often occur when applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

Trending Up

Strong directional movement with momentum confirmation

Trending Down

Sustained bearish pressure with lower highs/lows

Range-Bound

Consolidation between defined support and resistance

High Volatility

Elevated price swings with unpredictable direction

Low Volatility

Compressed ranges often preceding major moves

Transition

Market shifting between regimes with mixed signals

Regime awareness feeds the engine in concrete ways: altcoin signals are checked against what Bitcoin is doing, ATR widens stop distances in volatile regimes, and the AI risk layer stands the whole system down when conditions turn hostile.

Risk Filtering

Not every high-scoring candidate becomes a trade. Before any order is placed, a candidate must clear every gate below — a single failure skips the trade and logs the reason, which you can inspect in AI Coin Analysis.

What Every Trade Carries

A trade that survives every gate is executed with a complete, protective structure — nothing is left open-ended, and everything is visible in your dashboard afterwards.

Entry

Recorded from the actual exchange fill, not the signal price

  • Real fill price
  • Direction (LONG / SHORT)
  • Signal strength & confidence
  • Which gates it passed

Protective Orders

Placed on the exchange itself at entry — they survive outages

  • ATR-aware take-profit
  • ATR-aware stop-loss
  • Bounds: TP 2–10%, SL 1.5–5%
  • Minimum 2:1 reward-to-risk

Sizing

Derived from your settings, never improvised

  • Leverage from risk level (3–15x, cap 20x)
  • Scaled by signal strength
  • Margin from your position size
  • Halved by AI in risky markets

Lifecycle

Synced back from the exchange, reported honestly

  • Live PnL while open
  • Close reason: TP / SL / liquidation
  • Cooldown applied after close
  • Exchange-sourced statistics
