Technical Overview

How btccampus Works

A transparent look at the signal engine that scans, scores and filters the crypto market — and turns it into informational long/short verdicts you can track.

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 publish the survivors as signals with reference take-profit and stop-loss levels. Most candidates never survive the gates — by design.

Market Scan

Every 5 minutes, all liquid USDT perpetual markets are pulled from public exchange market data 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 and the news filter all get a veto. A market-wide AI layer can downgrade or pause new signals entirely when conditions turn hostile.

Levels & Publishing

Each surviving candidate is published as a LONG / SHORT verdict with ATR-based reference take-profit and stop-loss levels, its strength score and the gates it passed.

Tracking & Alerts

Signals, price alerts, whale wallets and your on-chain portfolio are tracked continuously — you decide what, if anything, to do with them.

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 from public exchange market data (OKX, BingX)

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 signal, 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 downgrades signals or pauses new ones 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.

News Red Flags Whale Transfers Exchange Flows Per-Coin Skip List

AI Review Layer

Claude-Powered

A Claude model reviews the combined picture — market bias, risk conditions, news — and issues a verdict the engine obeys: publish normally, flag elevated risk, 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 candidates — it tells you how much the indicators actually agree.

Momentum (MACD)

Strength Is Not Everything

Strength 80+ marks strong confluence; 60–79 moderate; below 60 weak. Confidence must be at least 50 or the candidate is dropped. And counter-intuitively, a sky-high score is treated with suspicion — a coin already up more than 7% in 24h is vetoed for LONG signals, 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.

6

Risk Filtering

Not every high-scoring candidate becomes a signal. Before anything is published, a candidate must clear every gate below — a single failure drops it and logs the reason, which you can inspect in AI Coin Analysis.

What Every Signal Carries

A candidate that survives every gate is published with a complete structure — nothing is left open-ended, and everything is visible in your dashboard. Signals are informational, not instructions to trade.

Entry

The reference price at the moment the signal was generated

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

Reference Levels

Calculated from volatility, never improvised

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

Risk Context

So you can judge the signal, not just follow it

  • Market regime at signal time
  • Derivatives risk conditions
  • News red flags checked
  • AI market bias & risk verdict

Lifecycle

Tracked against live prices, reported honestly

  • Live move since signal
  • Outcome: TP hit / SL hit / expired
  • Cooldown applied after close
  • Price alerts on any level
