01
Wires
Google News (4h), Cointelegraph, CoinDesk, Decrypt, The Block, Blockworks. Signed-in scans let Grok search the live web and X for listings, ETF flows, hacks, and influencer spikes.
Method
Eight desks. One long.
Vigil is built to stack every positive 24-hour tailwind that is actually measurable: breakout tape, relative strength versus Bitcoin, live headlines, funding that is not crowded, and a risk officer who can veto. The book is still allowed to buy exactly one name, with a −3% hard stop and a market exit at 24 hours.
02
Heat
CoinGecko trending plus Coinbase volume spikes. Social heat is a booster, never the whole thesis.
03
Hourly chart
1h OHLCV: RSI(14), MACD, ADX, EMA 9/21/50 stack, ATR, location versus the 24h high. Prefers trends that can extend, not already-blown RSI.
04
Scalp chart
15m OHLCV: Donchian break, VWAP reclaim, stoch RSI, Bollinger %B, Keltner squeeze, supertrend, green-streak, volume climax. This is the 24h continuation engine.
05
Flow
OKX USDT perps: funding crowding, open interest, and bid/ask spread as a liquidity gate. Crowded positive funding is a penalty.
06
Macro
Fear & Greed, BTC 24h, BTC dominance, relative strength versus Bitcoin. Risk-on lets alts lead; defensive tapes prefer BTC beta and smaller size.
07
Risk
Vetoes hacks, sub-$1.5M USD books, blow-off RSI, already-vertical 24h prints, and wide spreads. A veto does not disappear in the portfolio overlay.
08
Portfolio
Maximises expected 24h upside after the overlay. Limit unless 15m breakout + volume is severe. OCO: target, −3% stop, 24h time stop.
Paper, not live
Vigil does not place live Coinbase orders and does not store exchange API keys. It papers the ticket on the real tape. Flatten any time. Reset the $10,000 book from the account menu.
Not advice
A 24-hour “highest gain” is a ranking, not a promise. Crypto is volatile. This is a research desk and a paper simulator — not an offer to buy or sell, and not personalized financial advice.
