Turn alt coin noise into rotation-aware signals.
The Shadow Signals Alt Engine watches majors and mid-cap alts across CEX order books, derivatives and sector flows. It finds where capital is rotating, scores risk, and routes the best setups into a 3-Strike alert system and strategy presets you actually understand.

How the Alt Engine thinks about the market.
Memes are about launch and safety. Alts are about trend, rotation, funding and cycles. Same 3-Strike logic, different brain.
1. Data Feeds: Spot + Derivatives
- • OHLCV for majors & mid-caps across top exchanges.
- • Perps funding, open interest, long/short skew.
- • Volume vs 30d average, volatility regimes.
- • BTC & ETH trend and dominance as regime filters.
2. Scoring & 3-Strike Logic
- • Alt Score: 0–100 based on trend, rotation, funding & cycles.
- • Sector rotation: which narratives are actually getting flows.
- • Cycle Engine: detects repeat swing patterns per asset.
- • WATCH → SCOUT → STRIKE tiering for clarity and risk gating.
3. Routing to Your Execution
- • Telegram / web alerts with clean R:R framing.
- • Strategy presets for swing, intraday, reversion, etc.
- • Export-ready format for bots or copying into exchange.
- • Future: direct integration with supported CEX / perp venues.
3-Strike for alts: from “hmm interesting” to “ready to fight.”
Instead of spamming you with every wiggle, the Alt Engine promotes coins up the ladder only when they keep meeting stricter conditions.
- 🟩 WATCH On-radar setups
- Alts that pass baseline sanity: liquidity, volume, structure and sector context. Usually early in the move, or compressing before something big.
- 🟨 SCOUT Structuring a real trade
- Confluence: better trend alignment, volume vs average up, cleaner funding/OI, and sector rotation in its favor. This is where we start drawing the R:R boxes.
- 🟥 STRIKE Execution-ready zones
- Entry criteria are met: breakout, reversion, or rotation play is live, BTC isn’t rugging, and risk is clearly defined. This is where your bots or hands go to work.
-
1Day 0 – WATCH
Alt L1 breaks 30d volume average and starts building higher lows while BTC holds a calm uptrend. Flagged as WATCH with stats and sector tag.
-
2Day 2 – SCOUT
Funding normalizes, open interest grows, and the pair retests support. A clean long R:R box is drawn with optional scaling plan.
-
3Day 3 – STRIKE
Breakout triggers with volume and sector confirmation. STRIKE alert shows entry zone, invalidation, and staged targets. Your execution takes it from there.
You choose which tiers your bots listen to. Some users only trade STRIKE; others like to hand-pick from WATCH/SCOUT.
12 core alt strategies, built on how alts actually move.
Each preset has its own filters, 3-Strike rules, and suggested R:R style. You can use them as-is or clone them into your own custom playbooks.
Alt Control Panel – how everything wires together.
This is the UI shell the real engine drops into: filters, Delta Tweaker, alerts, and per-user risk settings on the same canvas.
Alt Engine roadmap – from MVP radar to Empire mode.
The UI you’re seeing is the endgame. Under the hood, we’ll wire feeds, scoring, backtests and integrations step by step.
- Phase 1 – Radar & 3-Strike. Alt universe scan, BTC/ETH context, Alt Score and 3-Strike pipeline with clean alerts.
- Phase 2 – Strategies & backtests. 12 presets, per-user profiles, performance stats by tier/strategy, and basic backtesting.
- Phase 3 – Delta Tweaker for alts. Feedback loops that automatically tighten/loosen filters based on win/loss behavior.
- Phase 4 – Integrations & automation. Bridges to supported exchanges, bots, and portfolio tools while keeping users in control.
- ✅ Alt Engine UX, copy & 3-Strike spec.
- ✅ Strategy list & mapping concepts.
- 🔄 Engine wiring to real data feeds.
- 🔄 Logging, stats & Delta Tweaker signals.

Disclaimer: Shadow Signals is an analytics tool, not financial advice. Alts are volatile. Never trade with money you can’t afford to lose.
Guardrails for using alt signals like an adult.
These are here to keep expectations sane – for you, for future customers, and for anyone reading the site thinking alts are a magic money printer.
Is this financial advice?
No. The Alt Engine surfaces stats, patterns and alerts. You decide if, when and how to act. You are fully responsible for your own risk.
What win-rate can I expect?
Model stats are calculated on paper with fixed rules. Your results depend on execution: entries, exits, slippage, leverage, mistakes, FOMO and discipline. We’ll always label “paper stats” clearly as model performance.
Does the Alt Engine auto-trade for me?
Early versions: no – you trade manually or via your own bots. Later phases may support integrations with third-party tools, but you keep custody and control.
Which alts are included?
The focus is majors and mid-caps with real liquidity, plus a curated list of narrative plays (L1, L2, DeFi, AI, RWA). Absolute trash and illiquid ghosts are filtered out by design.
Can I customize the strategies?
Yes. Presets are starting points. You’ll be able to copy, tweak filters, change risk rules and save your own profiles while still benefiting from global improvements.
Where does this fit with the meme engine?
The meme engine hunts hyper-early degen plays. The Alt Engine focuses on bigger, more liquid names and rotations. Same brand, different modules – so you can build an entire empire playbook across both.
