OUR TOOLS

The Sunrise and Sunset Guru Brief
A free email twice a day, morning and evening, with the top stories in under a minute and a link to each one.
Whale Watch Pro for members
- Whale Watch follows the biggest traders live across the five largest exchanges: their large trades, the large orders they leave waiting (known as walls), and the walls they cancel. It sums this up in one reading of whether big players are leaning towards buying or selling.
- Tideline looks at the whole market, not just the big players. It counts every waiting order near the price and every trade, of any size, to show whether buyers or sellers have the upper hand right now, exchange by exchange.
- Sonar is a daily data screen. Each morning it checks the 500 largest coins, filters out meme coins, thinly traded tokens and other red flags, and scores the rest on six measures such as price trend, size of recent dips and big-player orders. You can view it at three depths, from the largest, steadiest coins to newer, more volatile ones.
All Whale Watch Pro tools come with plain-English explanations and a Pro mode for experienced traders.
INDEPENDENT AND TRANSPARENT
