What is the Signal Scanner?

The Cryptobots Technical Analysis Signal Scanner is a desktop application that scans cryptocurrency markets using up to 27 technical indicators simultaneously. You give it a list of trading pairs and a timeframe, it fetches live candle data from the exchange, runs every indicator you have enabled, and produces a ranked list of the strongest BUY and SELL signals — sorted by Strength% so the best setups appear at the top.

No charting required. No manual indicator checking. The scanner does the screening — you do the trading.

App Layout Overview

The app is split into two panels side by side:

Left panel — configuration: exchange, timeframe, pairs, indicators, and scan controls
Right panel — results: the signal table and console log

A horizontal splitter between them can be dragged left or right to resize. The right panel is wider by default (2:1 ratio).

Left Panel — Configuration

Exchange Configuration (top section)

Exchange dropdown

Choose which exchange to fetch candle data from: Binance Spot, Binance Futures, Bybit, or Coinbase. No API keys required — the scanner uses public endpoints only.

Binance Spot — all spot pairs such as BTC, ETH, SOL
Binance Futures — USDT-margined perpetual contracts
Bybit — Bybit spot pairs
Coinbase — Coinbase Advanced Trade pairs

Timeframe checkboxes

Select one or more of: 1m, 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, 1d

Single timeframe: Standard scan — each pair is scanned once on the selected timeframe
Multi-timeframe (Full Access only): Select multiple timeframes and the scanner runs all of them for every pair, then merges the results. A pair that generates a BUY signal on 1h and 4h and 1d appears as a single row scored by average values with the TF column showing 1h+4h+1d. These are ranked to the top automatically.

Free Trial users: selecting a second checkbox unchecks the previous one automatically.

Trading Pairs

Pairs input box

Type the token names you want to scan, one per line or comma-separated. Use the base token name only, — no need to include USDT or the quote currency: The app automatically appends the selected base token (e.g. SOL becomes SOLUSDT).

Base token selector

Sets the quote currency appended to every pair: USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH, or BNB. Default is USDT which covers the vast majority of liquid pairs on all exchanges.

Load Top 100 Pairs button (Full Access only)

One click fetches the top 100 trading pairs by 24h volume directly from the selected exchange and populates the pairs input automatically. Stablecoins are filtered out automatically (USDC, BUSD, TUSD, DAI, FDUSD, etc.) so you only get real trading assets.

Free Trial users see this button greyed out with a [PRO] label.

Indicators Configuration

A scrollable list of all 27 indicators. Each indicator is a collapsible row. Click the indicator name to expand it and see:

Enable/disable checkbox — turn the indicator on or off for this scan
Weight spinner — how many score points the indicator contributes when it fires (1–20)
Parameter spinners — indicator-specific settings (e.g. RSI window, oversold level, EMA periods)
Description — a full explanation of what the indicator does and when it fires, shown as a tooltip or in the expanded view

Free Trial users: all indicators except SMA Crossover, BB Lower Touch, and BB Upper Touch are shown with a lock icon and cannot be enabled. The locked indicators contribute zero to scores.

For a full explanation of every indicator, see the Indicators Guide

Scan Actions (bottom of left panel)

Load or Save Settings button (Full Access only)

Saves your entire configuration — selected exchange, timeframes, enabled indicators, weights, and all parameters — to a JSON file on disk. Load it back any time to restore your setup instantly. Useful for maintaining multiple configurations.

Free Trial users see this button but it is inactive.

Start Scan button (large green button)

Launches the scan. The button turns red and relabels to Stop Scan while the scan is running. Click it again at any time to stop — the scanner finishes the current symbol, then stops gracefully and displays whatever results it has collected so far.

What happens when you click Start Scan:

The app validates that at least one pair and one timeframe are selected
A progress bar appears in the Results tab
The scanner fetches 500 candles per pair per timeframe from the exchange (with a 100ms delay between requests to respect rate limits)
All enabled indicators are computed for each pair
Results are merged (for multi-TF scans) and ranked
The Results table populates and sorts by Strength% descending
The top 3 signals are also printed to the terminal window for quick reference

Export Results (CSV) button

Saves the current results table to a .csv file. A file save dialog opens with a default filename in the format Exchange-Timeframe-YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.csv. The CSV includes all columns: Symbol, Direction, Price, Buy Score, Sell Score, Diff, Strength%, Conviction%, TF, and Signals.

Right Panel — Results

Results Tab

The main signals table with 10 columns:

Column	What it shows
Symbol	Trading pair (e.g. SOLUSDT)
Direction	BUY (green) or SELL (red)
Price	Last closing price at time of scan
Buy Score	Total score points from all bullish indicators that fired
Sell Score	Total score points from all bearish indicators that fired
Diff	Absolute difference between Buy and Sell score
Strength%	% of available firepower on the winning side that actually fired
Conviction%	How cleanly one side won — high = decisive, low = both sides lit up
TF	Which timeframes confirmed this signal (e.g. `1h`, or `1h+4h+1d` for multi-TF)
Signals	List of every indicator that fired

Sorting: Click any column header to sort by that column. Default sort is Strength% descending. Multi-TF confirmed rows (where TF shows 1h+4h or similar) are ranked to the top even before Strength, and are highlighted in gold.

Hover over any column header to see a tooltip explaining exactly what that column measures.

Progress bar: Appears below the table while a scan is running, showing % complete — current pair (step/total).

Console Tab

A timestamped log of everything the scanner does. Useful for:

Confirming which pairs were processed and which were skipped
Seeing rate-limit warnings (429 errors) if the exchange throttled a request
Viewing your license and plan status on startup
Checking for version update notifications
Diagnosing any connection or data errors

Every entry is prefixed with a timestamp [HH:MM:SS]. Errors appear as ERROR:, warnings as WARNING:, and informational entries as INFO:.

Status Bar (bottom of window)

A slim bar at the very bottom of the app shows the current status with a live timestamp. Updates automatically at every key event:

Ready [2026-04-09 14:32:01] [Full Access] — idle
Scanning 50 pairs on Binance Spot [1h+4h]... — scan in progress
47% ETHUSDT (24/50) — progress update per pair
Stopping scan — finishing current symbol… — stop requested
Scan complete — 18 signals found — finished

Free Trial Banner (Free users only)

If you are on the Free Trial, a pulsing gradient banner appears at the top of the app:

Clicking anywhere on the banner opens cryptobots.dev in your browser.

Below the banner is a smaller bar showing your user id for license activation.

The User ID text is selectable and copyable with your mouse — click and drag to highlight it, then Ctrl+C.

Your First Scan — Step by Step

Launch cryptobots_signal_scanner_v1.0.exe
Select exchange — start with Binance Spot (most pairs, most liquid)
Select timeframe — check 1h for a good balance of signal quality and frequency
Enter some pairs — type BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB, DOGE in the pairs box
Set base token — leave as USDT
Check indicators — leave defaults for your first scan (Free Trial has 3 enabled, Full Access has all 27)
Click Start Scan — watch the progress bar in the Results tab
Read the results — look for rows where Strength% is high (70%+) and Conviction% is high (75%+)
Check the Signals column — hover or read which specific indicators fired on your top result
Export if needed — click Export Results (CSV) to save if needed

Reading Results — What to Look For

High Strength + High Conviction (e.g. 85% / 90%) — the strongest, cleanest signal. Multiple indicators agreed strongly on one direction.

High Strength + Low Conviction (e.g. 80% / 25%) — many indicators fired but both buy and sell sides lit up. This often appears in ranging/choppy markets. Treat with caution.

Low Strength + High Conviction (e.g. 20% / 95%) — very few indicators fired, but all of them agreed on the same direction. A weak but clean signal. Worth watching if it’s in a clear trend context.

Multi-TF rows (gold highlight) — a signal confirmed on multiple timeframes simultaneously. These are the highest-quality setups the scanner produces.

Signals column — always read this. If a BUY signal was generated by RSI Oversold, BB Lower Touch, Stochastic Buy (three mean-reversion indicators) that is very different from EMA Crossover, MACD Crossover, ADX Strong Trend (three trend-following indicators). Knowing why helps you decide whether to act.

Tips & Best Practices

The scanner is a screener, not an entry signal — use it to build a shortlist, then apply your own price action analysis and risk management before trading

Run multi-timeframe scans (Full Access) — select 1h + 4h together. Any pair appearing in both with the same direction is a high-quality setup; use the single-TF results for timing

Use Load Top 100 (Full Access) on your chosen exchange to discover setups you wouldn’t have thought to look for manually

Don’t fight the ATR Filter — if the console says a pair was skipped due to low ATR, that pair is too quiet to trade reliably right now

The Console tab is your friend — if a pair you expected to appear isn’t in results, the console will show exactly why (error, skipped, or no signal above threshold)

Save your settings (Full Access) — once you’ve tuned your indicator weights and parameters, save to a JSON file so you don’t have to reconfigure after a restart
