Trading signals are alerts that suggest potential buy or sell opportunities based on technical analysis. HermesX uses a sophisticated multi-layered approach combining momentum analysis, multi-timeframe confluence, and cross-exchange validation to generate high-probability trading setups for both major cryptocurrencies and volatile altcoins.
Momentum measures the rate of acceleration of price—the speed at which price is changing. This is fundamental to our signal system, where we measure momentum strength across multiple timeframes (5m, 15m, 1h) to identify trending opportunities in fast-moving crypto markets including AI tokens and meme coins.
What You'll Learn
HermesX assigns every signal a momentum score ranging from -10 to +10. This proprietary metric measures the strength and direction of price movement:
Strong Bullish - High momentum buying pressure. Multiple timeframes aligned. Best for long entries.
Moderate - Mixed timeframes. Some confluence but weaker signals. Wait for confirmation.
Strong Bearish - High momentum selling pressure. Aligned downtrend. Best for short entries.
EXAMPLE: BTCUSDT SIGNAL
This indicates very strong bullish momentum. Price is accelerating upward with multiple timeframes confirming the trend. According to momentum trading principles, this is a "buy high, sell higher" opportunity.
How is it calculated? Our system analyzes price change rates, volume acceleration, and technical indicators (RSI, MACD) across 5-minute, 15-minute, and 1-hour timeframes. Each timeframe is weighted by reliability: 5m (25%), 15m (35%), 1h (40%). This weighting adjusts for crypto volatility, where lower timeframes capture rapid moves in altcoins while higher timeframes filter noise.
Professional traders don't rely on a single timeframe—they look for confluence across multiple timeframes to confirm trends. HermesX automatically analyzes 5 timeframes simultaneously:
Short-term momentum. Captures immediate price action and quick reversals. Lowest weight due to noise and false signals.
Medium-term momentum. Balances noise filtering with responsiveness. Most reliable for intraday signals.
Long-term momentum. Highest weight because it represents the dominant trend. When 1h aligns with lower timeframes, probability increases significantly.
Confluence Example
When all 3 major timeframes align, the probability of a successful trade increases dramatically. This is what we call "perfect confluence".
Every HermesX signal is automatically scored by our AI system on a scale of 0-100 points. This score evaluates 6 key categories to help you prioritize which signals to act on:
Action: Primary trading opportunities. Consider standard position sizes.
Action: Valid setups. Use proper risk management and smaller position sizes.
Action: Wait for better confirmation. High risk/reward required.
Action: Avoid trading. Wait for clearer setup.
Pro Tip
Focus on EXCELLENT signals (75+) when starting out. As you gain experience, you can trade GOOD signals (50-74) with proper risk management. Avoid FAIR and POOR signals—low scores indicate high risk and conflicting indicators. Click the AI score badge on any signal to see the detailed 6-category breakdown.
One of HermesX's unique features is cross-exchange validation. We compare prices and volume across multiple exchanges (Bitget, Binance, Bybit) to ensure the signal isn't caused by a local anomaly or manipulation on a single exchange.
All exchanges showing similar prices (divergence < 0.1%). The signal is globally validated.
Small price differences (0.1% - 0.3%). Usually acceptable but worth monitoring. Could indicate regional liquidity differences.
Significant price differences (> 0.3%). Warning sign! Could indicate:
Action: Wait for prices to normalize before entering.
Why This Matters
In crypto markets, signals confirmed across multiple trading venues have significantly higher win rates compared to single-venue signals. Cross-exchange validation protects you from exchange-specific anomalies, wash trading on low-tier exchanges, and ensures you're trading on genuine market movements rather than manipulation.
Every signal card on your dashboard displays 14+ data points to help you make informed decisions. Here's a complete guide to every element you see:
Shows trading pair (e.g., BTCUSDT) and signal rank (#1, #2, etc.). Higher ranks indicate stronger overall quality.
How recently the signal was generated (e.g., "5m ago"). Fresher signals are more actionable.
Color-coded badge: STRONG BULLISH, BULLISH, BEARISH, STRONG BEARISH.
Large brain icon badge showing total quality score. Click it to see the 6-category breakdown. Green (75+) = excellent, Yellow (50-74) = good, Orange/Red (<50) = avoid.
BULLISH or BEARISH - The AI's overall directional prediction based on all indicators.
STRONG or MODERATE - How confident the AI is in this prediction. STRONG means all indicators aligned.
Scale from -10 to +10 with visual direction arrow. Positive = upward momentum, negative = downward momentum. Higher absolute values = stronger trends.
Shows 5m, 15m, and 1h timeframe status. Green ✓ = bullish, Red ✗ = bearish, Gray = neutral. Best signals have all 3 aligned.
Current price at signal generation. This is your recommended entry point.
Price movement over last 24 hours. Green = up, red = down. Shows if you're catching a trend early or chasing a move.
Day's price boundaries. Helps identify if current price is near support (low) or resistance (high).
Visual representation of recent price movement. Quick glance at trend direction and volatility.
Green line - Price floor where buyers typically step in. Use as stop-loss reference for longs.
Red line - Price ceiling where sellers typically emerge. Use as take-profit target for longs.
0-100 scale. >70 = overbought (potential reversal down), <30 = oversold (potential reversal up). 40-60 = neutral momentum.
Total trading activity. Higher volume = more liquidity = easier to enter/exit. Shows in millions or billions (e.g., "$2.3B").
Total futures contracts open. Rising OI + rising price = bullish. Rising OI + falling price = bearish. Shows market commitment to current trend.
Perpetual futures payment rate. Positive (green) = longs pay shorts (bullish sentiment). Negative (red) = shorts pay longs (bearish sentiment). Extreme rates often precede reversals.
Pro Reading Tip
Don't just look at one metric—combine multiple data points. For example: High AI score (80+) + Strong momentum (+8) + All timeframes aligned + RSI 45-65 (not extreme) + Good volume = Premium signal. This holistic approach is how professionals read signals.

Navigation Best Practice
Start with Overview Tab to get AI score and key metrics. Then go to Risk Tab to check cross-exchange validation and risk score. If both look good, review Charts Tab for entry timing. Check News & Whales for context on why price is moving. This systematic approach ensures you don't miss critical red flags.
Now that you understand each component, here's a step-by-step process to evaluate and act on HermesX signals:
Look for scores ≥ 75 (EXCELLENT) for best opportunities. Scores 50-74 (GOOD) are acceptable with proper risk management. Avoid scores below 50.
Click the AI badge to see the 6-category breakdown. Check momentum (16+ is strong), cross-exchange validation (8-10 is best), and risk metrics (12+ is good).
Check that at least 2 of 3 major timeframes (5m, 15m, 1h) are aligned. Perfect confluence = all 3 bullish or all 3 bearish.
Must show STRONG or MODERATE status. If DIVERGENT, wait for price normalization across exchanges.
Use the suggested take profit (TP) and stop loss (SL) levels. Never risk more than 2% of your capital on a single trade. Higher AI scores = more confidence, but always use stops.
