Signals, score, and risk
A signal is a launchpad token that just crossed our quality bar. Every signal carries the same four numbers: score, momentum, whale flow, and risk.
What a signal actually is
The engine continuously reads Robinhood Chain on-chain, scanning Uniswap swap events and pons launch events. Before any token can signal it has to clear a stack of safety gates: a honeypot and wash-flow check (many buys with almost no real sells is rejected), a dev and holder concentration check (a single wallet sitting on too much of the supply is rejected as dump risk), a liquidity floor, and LP and rug checks. Only once a token is clean, and shows enough momentum and whale interest to clear the quality gate, does the engine write a row to the signal feed and push it to anyone watching. The rugs are filtered out before a call ever goes out.
A token will not signal again for at least 30 minutes after its last call. Once the cooldown passes, if the token re-crosses the bar with fresh activity, it gets another entry. The call history view on the token page shows every entry side by side.
The score, 0 to 100
Every signal carries a single headline score. Higher means stronger conviction. A 70+ score is rare. A 50+ score is the typical alert bar. The score is the sum of two halves, each worth up to 50.
A typical winner lands around 60 to 75. The rare signals above 80 are usually tokens showing both high momentum and clear whale confirmation in the same window. A market-cap golden band also gates the feed: tokens too small to trust or too large to move are filtered before they can score.
Risk tier
Each signal also gets a LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH risk badge that is independent of the score. The score tells you something is happening. The risk tier tells you how rough the ride is likely to be.
The risk tier is computed from pool liquidity, market cap, and whale flow. The criteria are spelled out on the Chains page.
Reading a card
Every card has the same fields.
- Score 0-100, color graded. Highlighted top-right.
- Now live gain since the call. Updates every refresh. Green up, red down.
- Peak the highest the token has ever reached since the call. Never decreases.
- Called at price and market cap captured at signal time.
- Risk LOW, MEDIUM, or HIGH badge next to the chain tag.
Now vs Peak gain
The dashboard tracks two flavours of gain on every call so you never have to choose between "what did this give you at the top" and "what is it at right now".
- Now is the live gain. A token that pumped to +500% and round-tripped will show its current state, often negative.
- Peak is the high-water mark since the call. It can only go up. A round-tripped runner still reads as a winner here.
The Top gainer sort on the dashboard ranks by Peak, since the question "which token gave the biggest move" is usually more interesting than "which is up the most right this second".
