How Syntalium Works

Syntalium is a read-only market intelligence platform. It does not execute trades, hold user assets, manage portfolios, or give personalized investment advice.

Its purpose is to publish structured market context: what the system observed, when it was observed, what condition the market was in, and — when a real signal exists — what setup state was recorded. Every published record includes a cryptographic proof anchor called a SNAP ID.

Users access this context through the Markets, Live, and Verify surfaces. They use their own judgment and risk frameworks to decide how to respond to what they read.

Each evaluation cycle produces a set of structured fields. These come from a completed-candle evaluation, not from a live or unfinished data point.

Market condition

CLEAR, TENSE, WAIT, NO TRADE, or UNAVAILABLE — a structural classification of current market state, not a trade signal.

Setup state

LONG SETUP or SHORT SETUP when a real published signal exists. WAIT, NO TRADE, or UNAVAILABLE when no signal is active.

Key metrics

Trend strength, ATR %, entropy, volume Z-score, candle pressure proxy, and taker participation ratio — available for BTC via the public API.

State reasons

A list of engine-determined reasons for the current condition, such as DATA_STALE, ENTROPY_LOW, or ATR_OK.

Freshness

FRESH, STALE, or NO_DATA, with age in seconds and a threshold for comparison.

SNAP ID

A SHA-256 hash of the canonical payload, published with every record as a proof anchor.

The Markets page shows the current condition and setup state for each tracked asset. The Live page shows the latest BTC hourly record with freshness, state reasons, and proof fields. The asset detail view shows multi-timeframe alignment and the full market DNA panel.

Setup state (LONG SETUP / SHORT SETUP) is only shown when a real public signal has been published by the engine. When no signal exists, the platform shows NO PUBLISHED SETUP — along with the reason if the signals endpoint is unavailable. Plan fields (entry zone, stop, targets, leverage) are withheld entirely unless a real signal is active.

Each evaluation cycle produces a canonical payload — a deterministic, ordered record of the data and decisions recorded at that timestamp. A SHA-256 hash is computed over this payload and published as the SNAP ID.

1. 01The system evaluates a completed candle and records the canonical payload.
2. 02A SHA-256 digest is computed and both payload and digest are archived.
3. 03The SNAP ID is published alongside the market condition and other fields.
4. 04A user navigates to /verify, enters the SNAP ID, and submits.
5. 05The backend recomputes the digest and returns VERIFIED if the payload is intact, or another status if it is not.

VERIFIED means the archived payload matches the stored hash — the record has not been silently altered. SNAP verifies recorded payload integrity. It does not verify model correctness, upstream data accuracy, exchange execution, user fills, profitability, or future market direction.

Every trading or investment decision belongs to the user. Syntalium publishes market context; it does not tell you what to do with it.

Before acting on any setup state, users should check: whether price is still within the entry zone, whether the setup is still active and not expired, whether the data is FRESH, whether the SNAP has been verified, and whether their own risk plan permits the trade.

No trade execution

Syntalium does not place, route, or manage orders. No connection to any exchange or broker.

No custody

Syntalium does not hold, control, or have access to any user funds or assets.

No advice

Published context is general market intelligence, not personalized investment, financial, legal, or tax advice.

No guarantees

No outcome, profit, or performance is guaranteed. Past context does not predict future results.

No fabrication

When data is unavailable, the platform shows an honest unavailable state rather than inventing or interpolating a value.
