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 = A + (B − A) × 0.85. The realistic target most setups reach. Calculated on the AB leg, not the full ABC extension. Garant reached is a major event — the bot logs it to the executed-garant table and DMs subscribers.

Impulse — aggressive target

Impulse = C + (B − A) × 1.0 — full ABC extension. Only some setups reach it. Useful as a runner target after garant fills and you trail your stop.

ABC pattern

Three structural points the engine looks for:

• A — structural extreme. For BUY signals: a swing low. For SELL: a swing high.
• B — opposite swing. The reaction from A.
• C — retracement of the AB leg. For BUY: a higher low (above A but below B). For SELL: a lower high.

The system requires retracement ≥ 0.618 for short-term patterns, ≥ 0.382 for long-term (structural). Patterns are scored by recency of A (most recent reversal wins) and amplitude (capped, so one extreme bar can't dominate).

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.
