The AI signal engine is the heart of AlphaTerminal. Every few minutes it ingests live order-book depth, on-chain whale wallet flows, funding-rate shifts, and a basket of technical indicators, then outputs a direction and a confidence score per pair.
What a signal actually contains
A signal is three fields: pair (e.g. BTC/USDT), direction (long or short), and confidence (0–100). Anything above 70 is high-conviction; below 50 means the AI is uncertain and the signal should be filtered out.
Reading across timeframes
A 1H signal typically lasts about an hour; a 4H signal lasts the trading day; a 1D signal is valid for several days. Match your signal timeframe to your intended hold — chasing a 1H signal into a multi-day position will get you chopped up.
Multi-timeframe confluence
When the 1H, 4H, and 1D signals all agree on direction, that's confluence — AT highlights these as high-priority opportunities. Confluence is the closest thing to a "high probability" setup the engine can offer.
Paper-trading a signal
Tap the paper-airplane icon next to any signal to instantly paper-trade it. Your virtual portfolio's P&L updates in real time so you can see how the signal would have done — without risking a single dollar.
From paper to live
Connect an exchange under How to Connect an Exchange, set a daily-loss ceiling, then flip a single toggle to let the Auto-Trader route paper signals through your real wallet. The first 30 days of live signals are logged and reviewable in the Activity panel.
