Methodology

Data and explanations

Scoring engines calculate structured metrics from provider data. AI explains supplied evidence; automated checks look for unsupported numbers and financial instructions. These checks are not infallible. Report timestamps, source coverage and engine versions matter, and an error should be reported through Support.

Opportunity Score

Gems, micro gems, spot research and trade setups use different evidence and scoring rules. Available inputs can include technical structure, liquidity, flow, social momentum, tokenomics and security. The displayed score is an engine-specific research rating, not a probability of profit or a suitability assessment. Compare like-for-like engines and timestamps.

Daily and additional scans rank eligible candidates from the universe available to that scan, subject to data coverage and security checks. The app can return lower-rated candidates or fewer results where coverage or eligibility limits apply. Previously generated research remains a dated snapshot; a later scan can score differently. No minimum score, complete-market coverage or fixed number of results is guaranteed by this methodology.

Data confidence

HIGH / MEDIUM / LIMITED from coverage, independent pillar count, agreement and freshness — separate from the score. A missing provider lowers confidence; it never invents a value.

Performance tracking

Tracking compares publication reference prices and, separately, qualifying buy-zone entries with subsequent observed prices. Quote gaps, ambiguous fills and unavailable entries must be distinguished from measured outcomes. An observed peak is the best recorded move, not a realised customer return or proof that the price was executable.

Public highlights are selected top-rated published picks, each coin counted once: the move from the call price (the card price for Gems, or the lowest price reached at a level the report named (buy zone, strong-buy zone or support) before invalidation; Spot Buys and Trades count only once price reaches a named level, NOT FILLED otherwise) to the highest price within the call's lifetime window (until it expires or is invalidated), from stored hourly prices. They are not a representative sample or an overall win rate. They exclude trading costs, slippage and taxes and do not predict future performance. A return multiple refers to the hypothetical reference value, not money a customer received.

How results are judged

Suggested Trades: Win = reached the first target before the stop. Loss = stop first. A target and stop inside the same finest price candle (re-read down to 1-minute candles where available) is ambiguous and never a win.

Spot Buys: Win = reached the first trim within 45 days before any daily close below the structure stop (invalidation); intraday wicks ignored. Loss = a daily close below the structure stop (invalidation). Neither by day 45: judged by the day-45 return.

Gems: Win = reached the first trim within 90 days before two daily closes in a row below invalidation. Loss = two consecutive daily closes below invalidation. Neither by day 90: judged by the day-90 return.

Micro Gems: Win = reached the first trim at any point within 90 days, whatever happened before it. Otherwise judged by the day-90 return.

Spot Buys, Gems and Micro Gems stay “tracking” until one of these rules fires or the window ends, and every result shows the biggest drop from the publication price along the way.

Levels and limitations

Entry zones, stops and targets are conditional model-derived reference levels. Estimated liquidation clusters are not confirmed liquidations or a complete exchange position book. The product does not execute trades, copy trades, hold private keys or guarantee future prices.
