Know Every Metric.

Understand the information displayed by Crypto Radar Signals so you know what each metric represents when reviewing a LONG or SHORT setup.

● Scanner Metrics ◆ LONG & SHORT Context ↗ Built for Crypto Radar Users
SCANNER METRICS

Know what every metric means.

Now %

The signal's current performance from its original signal price. For SHORT signals, a price decline is shown as positive performance.

MFE — Maximum Favorable Excursion

The best percentage move the signal has achieved in the intended direction since detection. It shows the maximum unrealized opportunity observed so far.

MAE — Maximum Adverse Excursion

The worst percentage move against the signal since detection. It shows how far price moved in the unfavorable direction before the current moment.

Signal Age

Time elapsed since the scanner first detected the signal. This is different from ST Age and MACD Age.

ST Age

How many completed bars the current Supertrend state has persisted. LONG production output explicitly uses 1H ST Age.

MACD Age

Age of the current MACD state. LONG production output uses the 4H MACD age.

Volume

Compares current volume with the scanner's historical reference. LONG uses volume vs median 20; SHORT uses its 20H volume ratio.

VWAP Distance

Shows how far price is from daily VWAP and helps identify potentially extended conditions.

RSI 14

Momentum context used by both production scanners and also by their informational warning logic.

ATR %

Volatility expressed relative to price. Elevated ATR can trigger a scanner warning.

Taker Flow

LONG exposes taker-buy ratio. SHORT exposes both taker-buy and taker-sell percentages.

Warnings

Informational flags generated by the scanner itself. They add context and do not automatically reject a candidate.

IMPORTANT

Metrics provide context.
Not certainty.

Scanner metrics describe different parts of a setup. No individual metric guarantees what price will do next.

01

Read metrics together

A single reading should not be treated as a complete market conclusion.

02

Understand the timeframe

Some scanner metrics come from different timeframes and therefore describe different market horizons.

03

Warnings add context

Warnings highlight conditions detected by the scanner rather than automatically invalidating a setup.

04

You control the trade

Crypto Radar identifies and tracks setups. Trading and risk decisions remain with the user.
