How Tralyzer builds each signal
Every Tralyzer signal is built by the same fixed rules from support and resistance levels, not picked by hand. This page explains those rules, what the figures on the site mean, and what the signals cannot do.
Where the levels come from
Tralyzer watches 20 large crypto markets against USDT: Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, XRP, Solana, Cardano and 14 more. For each market the S / R Power engine keeps a list of support lines (prices below the market where buying has held before) and resistance lines (prices above it where selling has held), each with a power score for how strongly the price has reacted there. Lines are kept for several timeframes; signals use the 15-minute and 1-hour lists. You can see the same lines on the S / R Power page.
How a long signal is built
- Step 1 is the nearest 15-minute support below the current price.
- Step 2 is a 1-hour support at least 2% below step 1, or at least 1% below it when that line is stronger than the next one down.
- Step 3 is a 1-hour support at least 4% below step 2, or at least 2% below it when that line is stronger than the next one.
- The stop loss sits 1% under the next 1-hour support that is at least 5% below step 3.
- The sell price is the nearest resistance at least 0.5% above step 1, on the 15-minute list first and the 1-hour list if there is none.
If the engine cannot find all four levels below the price, or no resistance far enough above step 1, no signal is made. Quiet markets often have no signal for hours; that is the rules working, not a fault.
A short signal is the mirror image: steps on resistance lines above the price, the stop loss above step 3, and the sell price on the nearest support below step 1. Long signals are published for futures and spot, short signals for futures only.
Three steps, three sizes
A signal does not ask you to buy everything at once. Step 1 is marked high risk and takes up to 10% of the amount you set aside for the trade, step 2 medium risk and up to 30%, step 3 low risk and up to 60%. Later steps fill only if the price falls to them. When step 2 or step 3 fills, the sell price for that part moves to just above the previous step (0.3% to 0.5% above it), so a deeper dip can still close with a small gain on the average price. The guide Staged entries works through an example.
The risk grade
Each signal carries a grade, platinum, gold, silver or bronze, from the market's risk level at the time (1 to 3) and the power of the nearest support compared with the nearest resistance. Platinum is the best grade: risk level 1 with the nearest support more than twice as strong as the nearest resistance (for a short signal, resistance more than twice as strong as support).
What the results mean
When a signal closes, Tralyzer records its result as a percentage of the average entry price. A closed signal with a result of zero or more is counted as a win; one below zero is counted as a loss. The results page and the monthly archive add up those percentages:
- They are the sum or average of signal results, not the return of any account, which depends on how much you put into each step, fees and when you enter.
- Results of +100% or −100% or beyond are treated as data errors and left out of every figure, and each page says how many were left out.
- Losing signals stay in every figure. Nothing is removed for looking bad.
What signals cannot do
Support and resistance describe where the price reacted in the past; they do not promise it will react there again. Strong news can move the price through several levels at once, past the stop loss. Futures add leverage and the risk of liquidation. Treat a signal as a plan to check against your own judgement, and never risk money you cannot afford to lose.
