QSX Crypto Bottom & Top Risk Radar
QSX Crypto Bottom & Top Risk Radar
An open-source risk-state radar for crypto. It answers one question: is the crowd at an exhaustion extreme right now — near a washed-out bottom, or a crowded top? It is a market-context tool, not a trading system, and it does not size positions.
HOW IT WORKS
All logic is visible in the source. Three building blocks:
1. Crowd gauge (the core). Binance BTC perpetual Long/Short Ratio (accounts), pulled via TradingView's Request library, ranked as a percentile over the past 365 daily bars. The absolute ratio drifts across market regimes, so the radar always reads it relative to its own trailing year:
- below the 10th percentile — the long crowd is washed out (capitulation pressure, historically a bottoming condition);
- above the 80th percentile — longs are crowded;
- above the 90th percentile — crowding is extreme.
2. Chart context filter. A 0-100 trend/volatility gauge built from the SMA200 trend state (price above/below + slope) blended with a normalized ATR(14) volatility rank over the last 100 bars, smoothed over 5 days. Its 3-day direction decides whether conditions are improving or fading. Top-risk states additionally require ADX(14) >= 20, so the radar stays quiet in directionless chop instead of calling tops in flat markets.
3. States. Crowd extremes and chart context combine into: BOTTOM (crowd washed out, or washed out and already recovering), CALM (no extreme), TOP RISK (crowded longs plus fading trend), and HIGH RISK (extreme crowding plus fading trend and momentum). A marker cooldown collapses each episode into sparse markers so one episode prints one readable signal instead of a cluster.
DASHBOARD
The panel shows a 0-100 crowd-exhaustion score (distance from neutral positioning, direction-aware), the current state, a heat bar, a one-line conclusion, and the raw BTC crowd percentile so you can see how close conditions are to the thresholds before anything fires.
HISTORICAL CASE LABELS
"Bottom-to-high +X%" and "Risk-off case -X% DD" labels annotate what actually followed past radar states, measured to the best/worst extreme reached afterwards. They keep updating while an episode is running, so treat them as retrospective illustrations of past cases — not performance claims, probabilities, or expectations.
HOW TO USE IT
- Daily charts only; the radar checks the timeframe and asks you to switch if needed. States are confirmed at the daily close — set alerts to "Once Per Bar Close".
- The crowd gauge always comes from BTC perp Long/Short accounts, even on an altcoin chart; only the trend/volatility context comes from the chart symbol. Read states as BTC-market-wide conditions.
- Typical use: as a regime filter on top of your own process — e.g. tighten risk when TOP/HIGH RISK is active, and treat BOTTOM states as environments where capitulation is historically present, not as automatic buy signals.
LIMITATIONS
- Long/Short Ratio history starts around 2020 and the percentile needs about a year of warm-up, so states begin printing from roughly 2021.
- Bottom states can appear early in extended downtrends and persist while price keeps falling; crowd exhaustion marks conditions, not exact turning points.
- No position sizing, no portfolio advice, no guarantees. Educational information only, not financial advice. Crypto is volatile — never risk money you cannot afford to lose.
