The Galaxy Score is a proprietary composite metric from LunarCrush, ranging from 0 to 100. It aggregates social activity (post volume, engagement), market activity (price momentum, volume), and sentiment (positive vs. negative posts). A score above 60 indicates elevated community interest. Sentiment Signals tracks both the absolute level and the 3-day change of the Galaxy Score.

Oscillators are momentum-based technical indicators that compare current price to recent price history. RSI (Relative Strength Index) measures the speed of price changes on a 0–100 scale — readings above 70 suggest overbought, below 30 oversold. MACD (Moving Average Convergence/Divergence) tracks the relationship between two EMAs to detect trend shifts. Together they help identify when a trend may be strengthening or reversing.

Moving averages smooth out price noise to reveal the underlying trend direction. Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) weight recent prices more heavily than older ones, making them more responsive to new information. Sentiment Signals tracks EMA 20 (short-term trend), EMA 50 and EMA 200 (medium and long-term trend), and their relative alignment — when short-term EMAs cross above long-term ones, it is a classic bullish signal.

The Total Score is a weighted average of the three sub-scores. Each sub-score is itself an average of the individual signals within that category, normalised to the −2 to +2 range. The final Total Score therefore also sits on the same scale. Category weights can be tuned over time based on backtesting; the current production weights are optimised for the Conviction Buy A strategy.

The threshold of +1.1 was determined through historical backtesting across the coin universe since April 2026. At this level, all three indicator categories are simultaneously in positive territory with meaningful strength — not just marginally positive. Lower thresholds generated too many false positives; higher thresholds filtered out valid momentum moves. The threshold is reviewed periodically and may be adjusted as more data accumulates.

Each signal has its own specific confirmation criterion — there is no single rule. The idea is that a raw indicator trigger is more meaningful when it is supported by corroborating market behaviour. For example: a social sentiment spike is more credible when it is accompanied by elevated trading volume (not just attention without participation). A momentum buy signal is less credible when it fires deep into a parabolic price surge (momentum running into an overextended move). An EMA crossover is stronger when price is also above the longer-term trend. Confirmed signals therefore passed both the primary indicator condition and their specific secondary filter; unconfirmed signals passed only the primary condition and are shown with lower weight in score calculations.

Technical indicators (RSI, MACD, EMA) are recalculated every hour based on the latest hourly candle data from TAAPI.io. Social sentiment data (Galaxy Score, community sentiment) is also refreshed hourly from LunarCrush. The Conviction Buy status for each coin is re-evaluated after each data refresh. On the overview page, you always see the most recently computed scores.

No. The strategy performance statistics shown on the platform (e.g., "Conviction Buy A: +X% avg 7d") are calculated directly from the platform's own database of historical signals and market prices. They are not independently audited. Past performance is not indicative of future results. The figures are provided to give you a sense of how strategies have behaved historically — not as a promise of future returns.
