Getting started

Create your account

Sign up with a name, an email and a password, or one click with Google, GitHub, Discord or Microsoft, and you land in your own workspace straight away. Add a phone number if you’d rather sign in with that than your email; it’s only a shortcut, and nothing is ever sent to it. Confirm your email when the link arrives, it’s how you’d recover the account later, but nothing is locked until you do.

Automated trading is off on a new account and stays off until you switch it on yourself, then again per profile. Nothing places an order by accident.

Turn on two-factor

Settings → Profile → Set up two-factor. Scan the QR with any authenticator app, type the six-digit code once to confirm, and save the recovery codes it gives you. Each works once, and they’re how you get in if you lose the phone.

It’s an authenticator app rather than SMS on purpose: SIM-swap attacks target people who hold crypto specifically. The code is then required on every way in, including the social ones.

Your trial, and paying later

The first seven days are the full feature set, free, with no card. When you’re ready, Settings → Plan & Usage shows what you’ve used against your limits and takes payment in USDT or USDC on TRON, Ethereum, BSC, Solana or TON. You get an address and an exact amount; access is added automatically once it confirms on chain.

Payments buy a period, not a subscription. Nothing recurring exists, so nothing can be charged again unless you send it. Redeeming early never wastes days: time is added to the end of what you already have.

Check the Scanner

The Scanner shows every active USDT spot pair in the selected market — Binance or Bybit — across all seven timeframes (1m–7d) with live price-change %, EMA / RSI / MACD read-outs and volume, before you’ve built anything of your own.

Set your display preferences

Settings → Display (Appearance) controls theme (dark / light) and font size, per account, applied globally.

02

Building a filter profile

Open Filter Profiles → New Profile

Name the profile, then add conditions in the Conditions card: pick an indicator (price / OHLC, EMA, RSI, Stoch RSI, MACD, Δ%, volatility or volume), an operator, and a timeframe.

Compare to a value, indicator, BTC or a sector

Each condition’s right-hand side can be a fixed number, another indicator (e.g. EMA(21) > EMA(50) or close > open), BTC’s own value for that indicator, or the live average across a sector tag. So Δ% above BTC catches a pair outrunning the market, and Δ% below sector average catches one lagging its group. All conditions in a profile are ANDed together.

Under a profile’s Pair Scope you can also restrict it to a sector, or exclude Monitoring-Tagged pairs, before any condition runs.

Choose Signal, notifications & sizing

Toggle Active / Signal / Telegram / Web Push / Auto-Trade for the profile. Set sizing (fixed USDT or % of capital), auto-close target %, cooldown, and an optional UTC active-hours window.

Turning the Signal toggle off lets a profile filter and highlight the Scanner without writing a formal signal, handy for pure watch-lists.

Set a stop, and give it time to breathe

A profile can carry a stop-loss % that’s frozen onto every signal it fires, alongside the target. Pair it with an arming delay, a number of minutes during which the stop stays inert, so ordinary noise right after entry can’t stop out a position before it has moved. Leave the stop empty and a signal simply runs to its target or its time limit.

Backtest before going live

Run the profile against historical candles with virtual capital to see an equity curve, trade log, win rate and P&L, with zero effect on real signals or trades. Test one pair or leave the pair blank to replay the whole universe.

Two modes: fixed stake gives every trade the same independent stake, while portfolio shares one capital pool across a position cap, so trades it couldn’t afford are recorded as skipped instead of quietly assuming unlimited money.
03

Connecting an exchange API key

Generate a spot API key

Create an API key / secret pair on the exchange with spot trading permission. Withdrawal permission is not required, Altstars only places and manages spot orders. If the exchange lets you restrict a key by IP address, do.

Add it under Settings → Trading

Each exchange gets its own card with a Live and a Demo tab. Paste the key / secret into the one you want, they’re encrypted at rest and never shown in full again, then run the built-in test-connection check before relying on it.

Live and Demo are two separate keys, not a mode: the API address is derived from the key itself, so a demo key can’t reach the live endpoint. Exactly one is active per exchange, and switching to the demo key suspends auto-trading on that exchange until you switch back.

Enable Auto-Trade per profile

Auto-trading is opt-in per filter profile. Once enabled, a matching signal places a real buy order automatically, sized per that profile’s settings, and closes when the parent signal closes.

04

Telegram setup

Hit “Connect Telegram”

Under Settings → Notifications, press Connect Telegram. It opens the Altstars bot with a one-time code already filled in, so there’s no bot username to hunt down and no chat ID to copy by hand.

Send the pre-filled message

Tap send in Telegram and the chat links itself to your account, a confirmation arrives in the same chat. You can connect more than one chat, and remove any of them later from the same page.

Turn on Telegram per profile

Each filter profile has its own Telegram toggle, so you can route different signals to Telegram, web push, or both.

Sectors & insight

Explore the Sectors page

The Sectors tab lists every pair with its categories, how closely it tracks its own sector, and how closely it tracks BTC, over a rolling daily-return window. Filter by category and sort any column to find leaders, laggards, and pairs moving independently of the market.

Understand a signal with AI trade analysis

Open a signal and hit Explain this signal for a plain-language read on why it fired and how similar setups have performed in your own history. It’s generated once and cached, descriptive, never a prediction or advice.

Ask about a pair

The AI page takes a pair and a question in plain language, then writes and runs its own read-only queries against the market history to answer it, showing you every query it ran. Ask why a pair stalled at a level, how it behaves after a big daily candle, or how your own signals on it have turned out. It can reach market data and your signals, never anybody else’s.

It answers from data, not from opinion. Where the data cannot settle a question it will say so rather than fill the gap.

Let the scoreboard judge your profiles

The Profile Scoreboard ranks your active profiles by what they actually returned over a window of closed signals you choose, and marks each pass or fail. A profile whose window is not yet full is shown as thin rather than ranked, so a lucky streak cannot sit at the top. You are told when the podium changes, and each place shows how long it has held it and what it has fired since.

Hand-closed signals are excluded from the ranking. Closing a winner early measures your judgement, not the profile’s, and counting it would flatter every profile you ever rescued.

Watch the activity bell

The nav bell keeps a running feed of your signals and account events, so you can catch up at a glance without leaving the page you’re on.
