How CryptoSignals checks a crypto tip
CryptoSignals is a free tool from Web3India Technology (Kolkata, India) that checks crypto tips from Telegram, YouTube, Instagram, X and WhatsApp for scam warning signs and shows the coin's real market data. It does not give trading tips. This page lists the exact rules, so you can check our work.
Last updated 30 September 2026 · Reading engine version: scoring-v1.0.
1. The short version
- No AI decides the score. The risk score comes from fixed rules written in code. AI is only used to read text from screenshots and to explain results in your language.
- Every red flag has a reason you can see, and adds a fixed number of points. The total is capped at 100.
- We publish our own technical readings in a public ledger, including the ones that turned out wrong, with a daily fingerprint so we cannot edit history.
2. Wording red flags
Scam tips use the same pressure tricks again and again. We look for these patterns in English, Hinglish and Hindi:
| Red flag | Examples of what triggers it | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Unrealistic return claim | "10x", "100x", "crorepati", "moon", "lambo" | 20 |
| "Guaranteed" language | "guaranteed", "pakka", "100%", "sure shot", "risk-free", "no loss", "मुनाफा पक्का" | 20 |
| Urgency pressure | "only 2 hours", "sirf 2 ghante", "last chance", "before listing", "jaldi", "don't miss" | 10 |
| Exclusivity / insider pressure | "VIP", "insider", "admin already in", "premium group", "paid group" | 10 |
| Referral link or unknown venue | "my link", "referral", "use my code", "only on this DEX", "new token" | 10 |
| Profit promise | "profit", "returns", "double your money" | 10 |
3. Market-data checks
When a tip names a coin, we look it up on a major exchange (Binance from the website; KuCoin from our Telegram bot) and check what the price and volume are actually doing:
| Check | When it fires | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Price already pumped | Up 50% or more in 24 hours, or 100% or more in 7 days | 15 |
| Sudden volume spike | Volume 5× its normal level or more | 15 |
| Low liquidity | Less than US$1 million traded in 24 hours | 15 |
| Very new token | Listed on the exchange for less than 90 days | 10 |
| Not verifiable | The coin is not found on a major exchange | 10 |
4. DEX contract checks
If the tip contains a token contract address, we check the trading pair on DexScreener and the contract on GoPlus Security:
| Check | What it means | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Honeypot risk | The token may be impossible to trade back out of. Any honeypot flag makes the result at least 75 (Very high risk). | 30 |
| High trading tax | More than 10% is taken on each trade | 15 |
| Thin DEX liquidity | Less than US$50,000 in the pool | 15 |
| Owner powers | The owner can still mint new tokens, freeze wallets or take control | 10 |
| Brand-new pair | The trading pair was created less than 7 days ago | 10 |
| Contract not found | No DEX pair found, so it cannot be verified | 10 |
5. Risk levels
| Score | Level |
|---|---|
| 0–24 | Low risk: no common warning signs found. It is still not a recommendation. |
| 25–49 | Medium risk |
| 50–74 | High risk |
| 75–100 | Very high risk |
A low score only means we did not find the warning signs we look for. New scam styles appear all the time, so always do your own research.
Instant decision (same score, short answers)
Every result also shows the main reason and three yes/no answers. They come from the same red flags, so they never change the score.
- Category, taken in this order: Honeypot risk → Pump pattern (price already jumped or volume spike) → Low liquidity → Hype language → Cannot verify → No common red flags.
- High risk: the level is High or Very high.
- Scam-like pattern: a honeypot flag, a score of 75 or more, or at least 2 hype-wording flags together with a market or contract flag. That last one is the classic pump-and-dump shape.
- Paper trading blocked: what our paper-trading scam guard does with its default setting. This applies to virtual trades only, never to real ones.
We never label a tip "valid" or "safe", and we never tell anyone to trade.
The numbers on the app's trust banner
- Public ledger: how many readings we have published and how many already have a result. We show an accuracy figure only after 12 months of ledger data. Until then you can check every entry yourself on the ledger.
- Risky tips flagged: tip checks saved in the last 7 days that came out High or Very high risk. We do not show "money saved", because nobody can know what a person would have done.
- Instant audit engine: the time our server takes for one full rules check, measured live. Your phone adds network time on top.
US event window and market sessions (information only)
From 30 minutes before to 1 hour after a big US data release, a result also shows a ⏰ note. The releases are the Fed interest-rate decision (FOMC), CPI inflation and the Jobs report. Around these times prices can move sharply in either direction. The note never changes the score.
- Dates come from the official calendars: federalreserve.gov for the FOMC and bls.gov for CPI and the Jobs report. We add the next year's dates once they are published.
- The market clock shows the Asia (Tokyo), London and New York sessions in IST. These follow daylight saving: New York opens at 6:00 PM IST in summer and 7:00 PM IST in winter. It also shows the London + New York overlap, when trading volume is usually highest.
- Crypto trades 24/7. Sessions only describe when traditional markets are open. They are not a signal to trade.
6. Technical readings (the Scanner)
The Scanner gives the top 100 Binance coins a 0–100 technical reading on 1-hour, 4-hour and 1-day candles. It only uses closed candles and needs 250 candles of history.
| Part | What we measure | Max points |
|---|---|---|
| RSI (14) | Momentum. Very high RSI is treated as stretched, not as strength. | 25 |
| MACD (12, 26, 9) | Histogram above zero, histogram rising, MACD line above zero | 25 |
| Bollinger %B (20, 2) | Where the price sits inside its normal range | 20 |
| Volume | Volume against its 20-candle average, on up and down candles | 15 |
| Trend | Price above EMA20; EMA20 above EMA50; EMA50 above EMA200 | 15 |
Ratings: 75–100 Strong Bullish · 60–74 Bullish · 41–59 Neutral · 26–40 Bearish · 0–25 Strong Bearish. A reading describes what the chart is doing now. It is not a forecast and not advice.
Market structure and futures context (not in the score)
Each coin page also shows chart facts that many traders talk about. They are shown for education. They do not change the reading score, and they are not entries or targets.
- Fair value gap: a 3-candle gap, where candle 3's low is above candle 1's high (or the reverse), that price has not yet traded back into. Only gaps of at least 0.15% of the price are shown.
- Order block: the last opposite-colour candle before a strong move. The next 3 closes must move at least 1.5 × ATR(14) beyond it, and a later candle must not have closed through it.
- Fibonacci golden pocket: the 0.618–0.65 retracement of the biggest swing in the last 120 candles.
- Volume profile: the most traded price (POC) over the last 120 candles, and the range that holds 70% of the volume. Each candle's volume is spread evenly across its high–low range.
- Futures flags (Binance USDT perpetuals, updated hourly):
- Squeeze building: the 4h Bollinger bands are in their tightest 10% of the last 120 candles, and open interest rose at least 10% in 24h.
- Leverage crowded: funding is beyond ±0.05% per 8h, and open interest rose at least 15% in 24h.
7. The public ledger
Every time a reading changes to a bullish or bearish rating, we write it to the public ledger with a SHA-256 hash. Each day we publish a Merkle root of that day's hashes, so anyone can check that old entries were not edited. We fill in the price 1, 3 and 7 candles later, including when the reading was wrong. We will not publish a "hit rate" headline until we have 12 months of data.
8. What we never do
- We never tell you to enter or leave a trade, and we never promise returns.
- We never ask for money, passwords, seed phrases, or exchange keys that can trade or withdraw.
- We never message you first. Real accounts are listed on Official accounts.
