User Guide — QuantPulse

🚀

Overview

Most trading losses come from having no plan, no record and no rules — not from a missing signal. QuantPulse is built as a school and a training ground: learn → plan → record → review, again and again, until it becomes a habit.

📚 Learn — Academy

60+ lessons in order with quizzes: exchanges, charts, support & resistance, indicators, how coins work, risk, futures, psychology — and Elliott waves for advanced learners. Levels, a daily question and rewards keep you going.

🧮 Plan — Calculator

Position size from the risk you choose, fees, break-even and reward-to-risk — before every trade. A plan you can save and check later.

📒 Record — Journals

Spot and futures, with the plan, the reason and a review of every trade. Binance trades can come in by themselves; a free Excel template if you prefer to start on paper.

📈 Review — Statistics & rules

Win rate, profit factor, results in R, the coach that finds your repeating mistakes, daily loss limits and a monitor for open futures positions.

🎯 Optional: level scanners

A shortlist of coins near support / resistance with the levels drawn — a practice tool for the Support & Resistance lessons, not a signal service or a source of profit. See “What to expect”.

⚡

Your learning path

1

Start the Academy. One lesson and its quiz at a time — the first sections cover exchanges, order types, charts and how coins work. Each answer gives XP; levels open advanced lessons and rewards.

2

Get a journal. Download the free Excel journal from the 📂 Library, or use Journal → 💰 Spot journal / 📈 Futures journal right away. Write down every trade — even small ones.

3

Plan every trade with the calculator. Entry, stop, target and the amount you can afford to lose — before you click buy. Small amounts while you learn.

4

Place the order yourself on your exchange, then record it with its plan. After it closes, add a short review: did you follow the plan?

5

Review weekly. Statistics and the coach show what works for you and which mistakes repeat — go back to the lesson that covers them.

6

Optional helpers when you are ready: read-only API keys (the journal fills itself, the monitor watches futures), Telegram alerts and reminders, and the level scanners as a practice tool. Everything new is off by default.

Tip: the “🚀 Getting started” card on the dashboard ticks the first steps off for you, and the 📝 Notes panel on the right keeps your own rules and reminders in sight.

📲

Install QuantPulse as an app

QuantPulse is not in the App Store or Google Play — you install it straight from the website. It then has its own icon on your home screen and opens full screen like any app, always up to date. Nothing to download, no store account needed.

🍎

iPhone / iPad (Safari): open QuantPulse in Safari and log in → tap the Share button (the square with an arrow ↑) → scroll down and tap “Add to Home Screen” → Add. Only Safari can do this on iPhone — in Chrome on iPhone use the Share button too (iOS 16.4+).

🤖

Android (Chrome): open QuantPulse in Chrome and log in → Home tab → 📲 Install the app, or the menu ⋮ → “Install app” (or “Add to Home screen”) → Install.

💻

Computer (Chrome / Edge): the install icon at the right end of the address bar, or the menu → “Install QuantPulse”. It opens in its own window.

Good to know: you stay logged in inside the app. Telegram links open in your phone's browser — log in there once too. Without internet the app shows an “offline” page; your journal and prices need a connection. To remove it, delete the icon like any other app.

🧮

Calculator — plan before you trade

The first habit of a disciplined trader: no trade without numbers. Before every order write down the entry, the stop (where your idea is wrong), the target and the amount you are ready to lose — the calculator does the maths.

Spot

Fixed amount per trade, one or several targets, fees per side and your minimum profit. Shows coins to buy, net profit, break-even and whether the trade is worth it.

Futures

Position size so that the stop loses exactly your risk % of the deposit; leverage, margin, liquidation estimate and R:R after fees.

Rule of thumb: risk 0.5–1 % of your account per trade, and only take trades where the target is at least 2× the risk. Save the plan to the journal so you can check later whether you followed it.

💰

Spot journal

fills itself

Journal → 💰 Spot journal: the coins you bought and hold, and what you sold — no stop, no leverage. Built like a spreadsheet journal, but it keeps itself up to date.

Add a buy

Coin and what you paid with (USDC / USDT…), price, total paid or coins received — the other is worked out with the fee. Or press 📥 From Binance to fill it from your real buy.

Sell — at once or in parts

💰 Sell with the price and, if you like, how many coins; the rest stays in Holding. ↺ undoes the last sell. When price reaches your target the row turns green with ✅ Sold at target.

🔗 Exchange sync

With a read-only key of Binance, Bybit, MEXC, OKX, Bitget, Gate.io or KuCoin: new buys are added and sells (also part fills) written into your trades — every few minutes, even with the browser closed. Each exchange is switched on by itself; open orders are shown for Binance.

Numbers

Value now, realised this month and all time, win rate, profit factor, best / worst trade, capital → now; views by coin and by month; days held. Excel import recognises the QuantPulse / Lithuanian template.

📈

Futures journal & statistics

Journal → 📈 Futures journal: trades with a stop and a target, results in R. Add a trade from a trade plan or by hand; with an API key, trades closed on the exchange are closed in the journal by themselves (every 15 minutes) — and you can get a Telegram message with the result. Review each trade (setup, mistakes, notes); Statistics show the equity curve, calendar, R distribution and which setups work for you.

Private: your journal is yours alone — nobody else, not even administrators, sees your trades, amounts, results or percentages.

👁

Position monitor & your rules

futures

Every minute the server reads your open futures positions on each exchange you added a read-only key for — Bybit, Binance Futures, OKX, Bitget, Gate.io, KuCoin, MEXC, BitMEX (OKX, Bitget and KuCoin also need the key's passphrase). The dashboard card shows every exchange: ● monitored · ○ no key yet · ⚠ a problem with the key.

Warnings

Stop, target or liquidation getting close; the setup behind the trade broke (a candle closed through the level / channel line); funding against you; position open for long.

Your rules

Daily loss limit and the number of losing positions at once — a warning banner when you reach them. Thresholds in Journal → ⚙️ Monitor settings.

Own bot: the monitor uses its own Telegram bot (set in Monitor settings), so position warnings never drown in other messages. Spot coins are not monitored — they have no stop or liquidation.

📚

Levels & rewards

You earn XP by learning: lessons, quizzes, the 🧩 daily question, the 📝 section exams, days on which you learnt something, and reviewing your trades (at most 3 a day). Opening the site or logging more trades gives no XP. The higher levels also need the section exams — XP alone stops before them. Levels unlock things automatically — you see a 🎉 window when you reach one:

Level	XP	Also needs	What it unlocks
🌱 1 · Newcomer	0	—	new title

Renewal discount: applied automatically to the plan price when you pay — after your first paid plan and 30 days as a member. Your current discount shows on the plans page. Levels never unlock plan features — they reward learning and consistency.

📂

Library & Excel journal

The 📂 Library (top menu) has books, spreadsheets and templates to download. At the top you always find the empty trading journal (Excel): spot trades with partial sells and fees, a futures journal, position and price calculators and a summary that works out your results by itself.

Start on paper if you like. Fill the Excel journal while you learn; when you are ready, import it in Journal → 💰 Spot journal → 📥 Import — rows already in the journal are recognised and not added twice. Exporting from QuantPulse gives you the same file back with a QuantPulse ID per trade.

⚖️

Level scanners — what to expect

The scanners are an optional analysis aid — not a signal service and not a source of profit. They show coins near levels price reacted from before and draw them on the chart. We test the rules on past candles (top coins, Binance, 4H, fees included) and show what came out:

Test period	Market	Futures (avg per trade)	Spot buys vs random buys
Oct 2022 – Oct 2023	BTC +39 %	long −0.01R · short +0.08R	target hit 80 % vs 74 % · average −0.02 % vs −0.58 %
Oct 2023 – Oct 2024	BTC +125 %	long +0.06R · short −0.09R	83 % vs 79 % · average +0.09 % vs +0.15 %
Oct 2025 – Oct 2026*	BTC −30 %	long +0.03R · short +0.05R	80 % vs 77 % · average −0.20 % vs −0.35 %
R = the amount you risk on a trade (stop distance). Fees included (0.1 % futures, 0.2 % spot round trip); slippage and funding not. ~45 of today's most-traded coins — coins that disappeared are missing, which flatters the results. *The rules were tuned on this last period; the two earlier ones were not used for tuning.

What this means: there is no steady edge. On futures the result depends on the market — longs did well in the rising year and lost a little in another, shorts lost in the strong rising year — and losing streaks of 40–60 trades across coins happened every year. On spot, a buy at a level did about as well as a random buy with the same target. Use the scanners to save time looking at charts, not as a reason to trade. Past results — tested or real — do not guarantee future results.

What helped in the tests: the 📈 Trend filter (on by default) — a long / buy only when the coin is in an uptrend, a short only in a downtrend. Futures over the 3 years: +526R instead of +322R in total with fewer trades (about +0.07R per trade), and no losing year. Spot: about +0.25 % per buy instead of ~0 %. And for spot the exit rule: if the target is not reached within 5 days, sell — it was ≥0 every year and cut the worst 10 % of buys from −15 % to −11 %. The spot journal marks such coins with ⏰ and can remind you on Telegram. What did not help: flip levels only, liquidity sweeps, waiting for a confirmed bounce, moving the stop to break-even.

Use them as: a shortlist worth a look → your own analysis → a plan with an exit and an amount you can afford to lose → every trade in the journal, so your own numbers decide what you keep doing.

💱

USDT or USDC pairs

Under the EU MiCA rules, exchange accounts in the EU / EEA can trade USDC and EUR pairs but not USDT pairs. QuantPulse scans the pairs you can actually trade. With a read-only Binance API key it can detect this for you; otherwise it asks once (based on your time zone). Futures always use USDT perpetuals.

🎯

Spot Support & Resistance scanner

buy only

1

Levels. Swing highs and lows of the last ~300 candles are grouped into zones. A zone is confirmed when price reacted from it at least twice (moved ~1.5 ATR away without closing through it).

2

Entry. A limit buy at the top edge of the nearest confirmed support. In a 1-year backtest, waiting at the zone beat buying after the bounce.

3

Target. The next resistance above. Setups whose target is less than 1% away are only “watch” — the fees would eat the move.

4

No stop on spot. You own the coin, so the plan is: buy at the zone, sell at the target. The calculator still shows where the setup would be invalid and what a 10% / 20% drop would cost.

Honest numbers: in the backtest about 4 in 5 spot buys at a confirmed support reached the next resistance — but random buys with the same target did almost as well, and the ones that did not reach it sometimes fell 15 % or more. Decide in advance what you do then. See What to expect.

📊

Futures Support & Resistance scanner

long & short

Side	Entry	Stop	Target
🟢 Long	top edge of a confirmed support	1 ATR below the zone	2 × the risk (2R)
🔴 Short	bottom edge of a confirmed resistance	1 ATR above the zone	2 × the risk (2R)

Setups with R:R below 1.5 are “watch”. A long is skipped when funding is very high (everyone is already long) and a short when funding is very negative — shown as 👥 CROWDED.

📐 Channels: besides horizontal levels the futures scanner also trades rising and falling channels — long at the lower line, short at the upper line (the lines move every candle, so does the limit). Flat channels and spot channel buys are drawn but not traded: they did not beat random in the tests. Switches in Settings → Support & Resistance scanner settings.

🚦

Reading a signal

Label	Meaning
🟢 Setup / Long setup — bounce confirmed	Price is at the zone and a bounce candle already closed. The plan's entry = the limit at the zone.
🟢 Setup — price at the zone (limit idea)	Price is at the zone now (≤ 1.5%) — a limit order there would fill now.
🟢 Limit idea at the zone	A confirmed zone is up to 5% away — the plan is a limit order at the entry, so price comes to you.
📍 At the level	The live price is inside the entry zone right now (pulsing row) — check the plan before you act.
👀 WATCH	Valid level, but the target is too close (spot) or R:R too low (futures).
⏭ Bounced / 🔁 Entry passed	Price already touched the zone and moved away — the % from the entry is no longer available. Shown again when price returns.
⏳ WAIT	Range filter is on and the coin is not in the lower (or, for shorts, upper) part of its range — or BTC itself is near the top (for shorts: the bottom) of its range.
⛔ SKIP	BTC is moving against this trade (BTC filter).
🚀 PUMPING / 🩸 DUMPING / 📰 RISKY NEWS	The coin is in a vertical move, or named in a hack / delisting headline — levels don't hold, so no signal.
⏸ PAUSED	Your signal pause is active (big US release, BTC dump, losing streak…).

Columns: Distance = how far price is from the entry zone · Reactions = how many times the zone held · Move = % from the entry to the target (and “now” = from the current price) · Score 0–100 combines confirmation, level strength, R:R, trend, RSI and BTC.

A pulsing green row means the live price is inside the entry zone right now. On a phone every row becomes a card — tap it for the plan.

Setups, not orders: every row is a setup with its plan (entry, stop, target) for you to check — not an instruction to buy or sell. Whether to take it, and how much, is always your decision.

Why this setup

How many reactions the level had, the bounce candle, trend, RSI, range position and BTC context.

Your money

Spot: fixed amount, coins to buy, net profit after fees, break-even. Futures: position size from your risk %, leverage, liquidation.

Next steps

Copy the plan, open it in the full calculator, or add it to the Journal.

⏱

Timeframes & scanner settings

Pick one or several timeframes: 15m · 30m · 1H · 4H · 1D. 4H is the backtested main timeframe. 15m and 30m are orange — they are noisy and give many more false signals. Each row shows its timeframe.

Settings → 🎯 Support & Resistance scanner settings lets you set the default timeframes and tune the engine (zone width, reactions needed, distances, stop, target, filters) separately for spot and futures. Every field shows its default; ↺ Reset brings the backtested values back.

₿

BTC filter

Altcoins follow BTC. With the filter on (default), the scanner blocks buys / longs while BTC trends down (EMA 50 / 200), dumps or sits near the top of its own range (above 65 %), and shorts while BTC trends up, pumps or sits near the bottom (below 20 %) — these show as ⏳ WAIT until BTC moves away. The BTC line also names the stage in words — e.g. “consolidating at the top”, “at the bottom, still falling”, “in the middle”. The BTC line above the table shows the state; tap it for the details. In the backtest, trading against the BTC trend was the biggest source of losses.

📰

News & market risk

The News tab shows the economic calendar (CPI, Fed, jobs reports…) with countdowns, crypto headlines, and a market-risk light: 🟢 normal · 🟡 caution · 🔴 high (a big US release within ~2 hours, BTC dumping, or severe headlines). The same light is on the dashboard as “Market risk”.

Rule of thumb: no new entries from ~30 minutes before to ~1 hour after a big release, and decide about open trades before it.

⏸

Signal pause & discipline

Settings → Support & Resistance scanner settings → Pause new signals stops new entries (in the tables and in alerts) around big US news (your own minutes before / after), while BTC dumps or pumps, and after severe headlines. You get one Telegram message when signals pause and one when they resume.

Discipline (based on your Journal): wait a few minutes after a pause ends, stop for the day after a losing streak or a daily loss limit, and cap signal alerts per hour. Set any value to 0 to turn it off.

🔔

Telegram & browser alerts

1

Create a bot with @BotFather in Telegram, copy its token, send your bot any message, and get your chat ID (Settings shows how).

2

Settings → Smart alerts: paste the token and chat ID, press “Send a test alert”.

3

Switch on what you want — new alerts are off by default: 📒 Journal (futures trade closed with the result · spot target reached · Binance buy / sell filled), BTC watch, Spot / Futures signals, News & events, quiet hours. Open-position warnings come from the position monitor's own bot.

No spam: each event is sent once, BTC changes only after they hold ~10 minutes, at most 8 info messages a day, and an hourly cap for signals. The server checks every few minutes — your computer can be off. Browser alerts work only while QuantPulse is open in a tab.

🌲

TradingView indicator

The QuantPulse Support & Resistance Pro Pine script draws the same levels on TradingView: buy / sell zones, entry, target (and stop in futures mode), “bounced” warnings and an info panel. Get it from the Spot scanner (“🌲 TradingView indicator”) or Settings → Pine Script, then in TradingView: Pine Editor → paste → Add to chart.

📡

TradingView alerts

The 📡 TradingView Alerts tab gives you a private webhook URL. Put it in a TradingView alert (Notifications → Webhook URL) with one of the message templates; every alert then appears in the list, and can be forwarded to Telegram or added to the Journal as an open trade. Webhooks need a paid TradingView plan.

Keep the URL private — anyone with it can post alerts into your account. “↻ New URL” replaces it.

🔑

Exchanges & API keys

Scanners work on Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, Gate.io, KuCoin, MEXC and Kraken (spot) with public market data — no key needed. Keys (My account → API keys) are optional: Binance fills the spot journal and detects your USDT / USDC pairs (the same key also reads Binance Futures positions), and every futures exchange key feeds the position monitor. ⚡ Test shows whether a key works, what it may do and when it expires; ✏️ Replace swaps an expired key, 🗑 Delete removes one you no longer use.

Always create read-only keys. Never enable trading or withdrawals — QuantPulse never needs them. Keys are stored encrypted.

💳

Plans & payments

Plans show what's included and the price. Pay by card in EUR or in USDC / USDT (Polygon, Arbitrum, Base or Tron) — whichever is offered. One payment covers one period; nothing renews automatically, and paying before the end adds the new period on top.

Crypto: send the exact amount shown, on the network shown. The plan turns on by itself when the payment arrives, usually within 1–2 minutes.

❓

FAQ

The table is empty	No coin is at a confirmed level that passes the filters right now. Try “📋 All coins”, another timeframe, or check the line above the table — it says what filtered the setups out.
A coin I hold isn't listed	Add it to ⭐ Favourites (scope “Favourites”) — the Top-50 list is the 50 most-traded pairs of your quote.
Price passed the entry	The setup becomes “entry passed / bounced” and is hidden from signals. A limit order at the entry fills only if price comes back.
No Telegram messages	Check the bot token and chat ID with “Send a test alert”, that the section is switched on, and quiet hours. A pause or the hourly cap may also hold signals back.
Translated page flickers	Live prices update every second; numbers are excluded from translation so the rest stays stable.
