Overview
The terminal implements eight independent pattern detectors. Each detector runs in parallel every 30 seconds. A maximum of 2 signals per pattern per cycle are surfaced to avoid notification flooding.
All detectors only surface markets where acceptingOrders=true β live order-book activity is confirmed before any signal fires.
Pattern 1 β π Intersection
Strongest Signal
Monitors all followed wallets for trades made within the last 2 hours. When 2 or more wallets appear in the same market, an intersection is recorded. The most commonly chosen outcome is surfaced as the signal direction.
Why it works: Multiple independent informed traders simultaneously entering the same market signals shared conviction or non-public information.
Trigger: followed_wallets_in_market >= 2, within last 2 hours
Score contribution: Pattern = 20/20 (maximum)
Requires at least 2 followed wallets. Add 5β10 known whale addresses from apeindex.trade for best results.
Pattern 2 β π° Pre-News Trading
Detects markets with abnormally high short-term volume relative to lifetime volume β a reliable indicator of information asymmetry before a news event.
Enriched with Google News RSS β fetches related articles published in the last 8 hours and adds context to whether the volume spike is news-driven or potential insider trading.
Trigger: v24h / v_total >= 5%, minimum daily volume $2,000
Why it works: A sudden spike in 24h volume as a fraction of total lifetime volume suggests informed traders positioning ahead of an expected announcement.
Pattern 3 β β‘ Quick Flip
Targets markets where the price is in the 30β70% range with $5k+ daily volume β maximum uncertainty and high volatility opportunity.
Trigger: Yes price between 0.30 and 0.70, daily volume >= $5,000
Why it works: Binary outcomes near 50% are highly sensitive to new information. A small directional edge produces outsized risk/reward.
Pattern 4 β π² Contrarian Plays
Identifies low-probability outcomes (5β22%) that remain open and liquid with $10k+ lifetime volume.
Trigger: Yes price 0.05β0.22, lifetime volume >= $10,000
Potential return: 350β1,900% if resolved Yes
Why it works: Thinly-covered markets with real liquidity sometimes misprice tail events. The $10k floor ensures meaningful two-sided activity.
Contrarian plays carry higher risk by design. Use Low risk level for this pattern.
Pattern 5 β π Position Growth
Scans current open positions of all followed wallets. Any position worth β₯$500 in an actively tradeable market generates a signal.
Trigger: followed_wallet.open_position >= $500, market.acceptingOrders = true
Why it works: Captures steady accumulation that doesnβt produce short-term volume spikes. Large quietly-held positions often precede significant moves.
Pattern 6 β π Position Add-On
Detects when a tracked wallet adds more than 10% to an existing position. Notification includes: first entry time (UTC), amount added (+$X), average entry price, and total position size.
Trigger: wallet adds > 10% to existing position
Score: 19/20 β highest among all patterns (adding = maximum conviction)
Why it works: Adding to a position is the strongest possible signal of conviction β the trader already has skin in the game and is doubling down.
Pattern 7 β π¦ Big Entry
Detects large single entries from tracked wallets in the last hour, classified by size:
| Tier | Size | Emoji |
|---|
| Dolphin | 500β2,000 | π¬ |
| Shark | 2,000β10,000 | π¦ |
| Kraken | $10,000+ | π¦ |
Trigger: single entry from tracked wallet within last 1 hour
Why it works: Large, decisive entries from wallets you follow are among the most actionable signals on the platform.
Pattern 8 β π Wallet Follow
Fires immediately when any tracked wallet makes a trade within the last 30 minutes β before any other pattern runs its analysis.
Trigger: any tracked wallet trade within last 30 minutes
This is the real-time notification layer β you see the trade as it happens, not after a 30-second analysis cycle.
Exit Alert
A separate system (not a pattern) that monitors your open positions. When a tracked whale reduces or closes a position in a market you are also long, an immediate exit notification fires with an βExitβ button.
Exit alerts cannot be disabled while monitoring is running β they are always active.
Signal Deduplication
Signals will not re-fire for the same market/pattern combination within 24 hours, managed via a per-user deduplication dictionary with a 24-hour TTL.
