Signal Metrics
A complete glossary of every data point shown on signal cards and in the holdings panel.
Every signal card shows a set of on-chain metrics about the token. Here's exactly what each one means.
Price
What it is: The current USD price of one token.
Source: Derived from the token's trading pool on-chain — specifically the ratio of token reserves to paired asset reserves (SOL or USDC) in the liquidity pool.
What to look for: Price alone is less meaningful than market cap. A token priced at $0.000001 isn't necessarily cheap — the supply determines total value.
Live updates: Price flashes green when it goes up and red when it goes down, giving you a real-time visual of momentum.
Market Cap
What it is: Price × Circulating Supply — the total USD value of all tokens currently in circulation.
Displayed as: Formatted shorthand — $1.2M, $500K, $15M
What to look for: Market cap is the better metric for comparing token size. A $200K market cap token has more room to run than a $50M token, but is also more volatile.
At signal vs now: The signal card shows the current market cap. The snapshot market cap (at time of call) is stored but currently shown only in the expanded detail on some views — useful for seeing how much the token has moved since the call.
Liquidity
What it is: The total USD value locked in the token's trading pool. Liquidity is the sum of both sides of the pool (e.g., the SOL side + the token side).
What to look for:
- High liquidity (e.g., >$100K) — you can buy or sell larger amounts with less price impact
- Low liquidity (e.g., <$20K) — even small trades can move the price significantly. Be careful with large buys on low-liquidity tokens.
Why it matters for trading: Low liquidity = high slippage. Your buy itself will push the price up, and your sell will push it down. With very low liquidity, the price shown may not be achievable at meaningful trade sizes.
Holders
What it is: The number of unique wallet addresses that hold at least one unit of the token.
What to look for:
- A growing holder count suggests organic distribution
- A very low count (e.g., <100) could indicate the token is very new or concentrated among a few wallets
- Holder count alone doesn't determine quality — but combined with other metrics it helps paint a picture
Buy Pressure
What it is: The percentage of total trades in the last 24 hours that were buy transactions.
Formula: Buy Count (24h) / (Buy Count + Sell Count) × 100
Displayed as: A horizontal bar on the signal card, plus the percentage.
How to read it:
| Range | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| >70% | Strong buying momentum — more people are buying than selling |
| 50–70% | Moderate buy pressure — buying slightly dominant |
| ~50% | Balanced — equal buyers and sellers |
| <50% | Sell pressure dominant — more people are selling |
Context: High buy pressure is generally bullish in the short term, but in very new or low-liquidity tokens it can simply mean the token is being bot-traded to inflate this metric. Use it as one signal among many.
24h Volume
What it is: The total USD value of all trades (buys + sells) in the last 24 hours across all venues.
What to look for: Higher volume relative to market cap suggests the token is actively traded. Very low volume relative to market cap can mean it's illiquid or inactive.
1h Change
What it is: The percentage price change over the last 1 hour.
Displayed as: Green for positive (price went up), red for negative (price went down).
What to look for: Rapid price appreciation in the last hour alongside fresh alpha from your groups could indicate early price action. A token that's already up 500% in an hour has likely already had its main move.
Signal Age
What it is: How long ago the contract address was posted in the Telegram group — shown as a relative time like 3m ago, 1h ago, 2d ago.
Why it matters: Fresher signals mean less time has elapsed since the call. In fast-moving token markets, older signals may have already played out. Signal age is one of the most important context clues for prioritizing which cards to act on.
Caller
What it is: The Telegram @username of the person who posted the contract address in the group.
Why it matters: Over time, you'll develop a sense of which callers in your groups have a strong track record. A call from a high-signal caller you trust carries more weight than one from an unknown.
Group
What it is: The name of the Telegram group this call came from.
Why it matters: If you monitor multiple groups, this tells you which community is behind the call. Convergence — the same token called in multiple groups — can be a signal of broader consensus.
