Trading model
Everything in CryptHunter — UI, bot, charts — speaks the same vocabulary. This page defines it.
Entry zone (not stop / not entry)
Most platforms make you pick a single Entry price and a single Stop. CryptHunter uses two boundaries that together form a zone:
- Lower boundary (BUY) / Upper boundary (SELL) — the favourable edge. The closer you enter to it, the better your R/R.
- Other boundary — the cautious edge. Entering here is still valid, but R/R drops.
Internally these are stored as StopPrice (favourable) and EntryPrice (cautious). The UI shows them as a single shaded zone.
Garant — conservative target
Garant is the realistic target most setups reach. It is calibrated to sit just below typical pullback peaks. Garant reached is a major event — the bot logs it to the executed-garant table and DMs subscribers.
Impulse — aggressive target
Impulse is the full target of the wave move. Only some setups reach it. Useful as a runner target after garant fills and you trail your stop.
Reversal structure
The engine looks for characteristic wave structures in price action and uses their parameters:
- Structural extreme — where the move starts (a swing low for BUY, a swing high for SELL).
- Opposite-side reaction — how far the market rebounds from that extreme.
- Retracement — the partial pullback toward the starting point, which we use as the entry zone.
The system requires the retracement to be deep enough and scores the structure by recency of the extreme, amplitude of the move and alignment with trading volume, the liquidity heatmap and multi-exchange orderbook data.
R / R math
Risk / Reward is computed from the cautious entry edge to the impulse target, divided by zone width. R/R 2.0+ is good; 1.0–2.0 is moderate; below 1.0 the system marks the signal as risky and downranks it.
