What the engine watches

24 crypto perpetuals and 2 metals, each read at three timeframe scales — one rule set, 78 live state machines.

Read this before the charts Coverage is not evidence. Watching more markets says nothing about whether the signals are worth anything — that question belongs to the public evaluation, which is still running and is decided on the intraday crypto pool alone. Everything on this page is a description of scope, not a claim about performance.

The engine's own view, right now

These charts are not screenshots and not illustrations. Each one is drawn from the snapshot the engine writes when a bar closes: the same closed candles it reads, the untapped liquidity levels it is tracking, and the zones it is waiting for price to reach. If the engine sees no scenario, the caption says so instead of inventing one.

Metals are not crypto — three differences that matter

Traded around the clock, priced on a market that isn'tGold and silver perpetuals trade 24/7 on the exchange, but the underlying metal is priced most heavily during London and New York hours. Liquidity thins between those sessions, so a level can be swept on very little volume. The engine does not model sessions — mechanization v1 has no kill-zone logic — which is one concrete reason the metals ledger is kept apart from the crypto evaluation rather than blended into it.
Funding behaves differentlyA perpetual's funding rate tracks the gap between the contract and its reference price. On metals that gap is driven by rates and the dollar rather than by crypto positioning, so holding costs over a multi-day position are not comparable to a crypto perp. Net figures in the ledger include modeled funding either way — the point is that the same net number means something different here.
The liquidity map is the part that carries overPrevious-day and previous-week highs and lows, equal highs and lows, and untapped swing extremes are not crypto ideas — they are just where resting orders accumulate. That machinery transfers to metals unchanged, which is why the same rule set can run here at all without a single new threshold.
Why equities are not in the engine yet — the actual reason Binance lists tokenised equity and commodity perpetuals, and several of them trade enormous volume. They are still absent here, and not because of a preference: on 28 Jul 2026 almost all of them were too young to be read. The engine needs previous-week highs and lows and a dealing range before it will form any view at all, and a contract listed eighteen days ago has roughly two weekly bars. At that point the honest output is nothing, not a signal.

The measured listing ages that day: Hong Kong equity contracts 6–12 days, a semiconductor name 18 days, Korean equities 57 days, the oldest US equity contract 112 days. Gold at 229 days and silver at 202 days were the only instruments outside crypto with enough history to clear the 180-day floor, so those two were added and the rest were not. As these contracts age past that floor they become eligible on the same arithmetic — no judgement call, and the change will be dated in the changelog like every other one.
