Smart Money

Make Smart Money work for you via Candlestick metrics.

Candlestick Smart Money 101

We create and update algorithms to generate lists of 😎Smart Money and categorize them. Identifying types of 😎Smart Money addresses and grouping them is very important as different Smart Money could perform very differently in and out of their territories, even though they are generally very smart. For example, a Smart NFT collector who’ve made millions of profit from BAYC might perform pretty badly in trading fungible tokens. 

That’s why when generating 😎Smart Money, Candlestick categorizes them into lists such as Smart Dex Trader, DeFi OG, Smart Meme Pro, etc. When you turned on “😎Smart Money Mode”, you could switch between different lists based on your investment strategy. 

In the following section, you will be able to understand different types of 😎Smart Money and the meaning of different labels associated with 😎Smart Money.

Important notes:

*“Qualified Token” in our algorithm:

  • Not every token that a trader (address) has traded on DEX will be included in our calculation. In a case where a larger amount of a specific token acquired was not through direct purchase via DEX, (eg. withdrew from CEX, claimed from farming, transferred from another address, etc.) such a token won’t be treated as a “qualified token” in our algorithm. 
  • Only verified “Qualified Tokens” are taken into account in our Smart Dex Trader algorithm

Why Track Smart Money?

Everybody can participate in crypto investment. But most individual traders cannot timely smell value opportunities due to a lack of analyst skills or inaccurate information received.

In comparison, Smart Money investors have the following advantages:

1. They can move the market

Smart Money controls a much larger scale of capital than retail investors. Thus, these investors’ buying or selling movements are significant cash flows that could influence markets.

2. They are professionals

Professionals are those traders that have years of crypto trading experience, complete skillsets of market analytics, or even a well-tested trading model to capture the investment timing.

3. They are well informed

Smart Money are investors with better and broader information sources that are generally inaccessible to ordinary people. Thus, they have a fuller understanding of the market.
