A comprehensive manual for KlineForge. Learn how to interpret our institutional-grade metrics, understand the risk models, and spot opportunities like a pro.
Global Market Overview
What is this?
The Global Market Overview is your command center. Unlike simpler trackers that just show one price, we aggregate data from multiple top-tier exchanges to give you a True Global Price. This helps filter out "noise" (like a localized flash crash on one exchange) and shows you the real market trend.
Table Metrics Explained
- Dominant ExchangeThe specific exchange (e.g., Binance, Bybit) that currently has the most liquidity for this asset. This is where the "smart money" is trading.
- Exchange CountHow many integrated exchanges list this asset. Use this as a trust proxy: an asset listed on 10 exchanges is generally safer than one listed on only 1.
- Quote VolumeTotal value traded in USD. High volume confirms trends; low volume means price moves might be fake outs.
Pro Tips
Spot Outliers: Sort by "Exchange Count" (Ascending). Assets with only 1 exchange are often new or risky.
Hero Card: Click any row to see a "Hero Snapshot" at the top of the page without leaving the dashboard.
Controls
Use the Stable / Crypto / Exotic tabs to filter noise. "Exotic" usually contains meme coins and high-volatility assets.
Correlation Structure
What is it?
The Correlation Structure page maps statistical relationships between assets across the selected market universe (SPOT or FUTURES). It identifies which assets move together, which are decoupling, and how quickly those relationships are changing — inputs that are essential for portfolio construction, hedge selection, and cluster-level risk exposure.
Key Features
- Interactive MatrixVisual heatmap of correlation strength across the top 20 assets in the active universe. Click any cell to open a pair drilldown.
- Drift LeaderboardRanked table of all pairs, sortable by correlation level or 24h drift magnitude. Paginated across up to 4,950 pairs.
- Pair DrilldownDeep view of a selected pair: 14-day coefficient trajectory and daily drift momentum.
- Regime FiltersFilter by Correlation Regime (High / Medium / Low / Uncorrelated) and Drift Regime (Strengthening / Stable / Diverging) to isolate specific structural conditions.
Important Behaviour
- SPOT & FUTURES are separate universesSwitching market type loads a completely different correlation dataset. Pairs do not carry over between market types.
- Search results are universe-scopedIf a symbol appears in autocomplete but returns no results, it exists in the other market type only. Switch markets to find it.
- New listings have no correlationsThe computation requires 24 hours of price history. New assets appear in the matrix progressively.
- Top 100 by volume onlyOnly the top 100 assets by 24h quote volume are included per universe. This limit is due to current storage constraints and will be expanded as resources permit.
Full Module Reference Available On-Page
The Correlation Structure page includes a built-in deep-dive guide covering the data architecture, mathematical formulas (Pearson computation, drift calculation, regime thresholds), a case study on cross-market empty results, and a full FAQ. It is written for institutional-level users.
Coin Deep Dive
Understanding Structure
Price alone tells you nothing. Structure tells you everything. The Deep Dive page analyzes the last 30 days of price action to determine the asset's "Regime" – i.e., is it trending, ranging, or crashing?
MA 20 (Short Term Trend)
The average price over the last 20 candles. If current price is Below MA 20, the short-term momentum is bearish.
MA 50 (medium Term Trend)
The average price over the last 50 candles. If price is Above MA 50, the broader trend is still bullish.
Market Regime
Our system classifies price action into states like "Trending Bullish", "Mean Reverting", or "Volatile".
Visual Guide: The Chart
Green candles mean price closed higher than it opened (Buying pressure). Red candles mean price closed lower (Selling pressure). Compare the candles to the colored lines (MAs). If the candles are consistently staying above the Yellow Line (MA 50), it's a strong uptrend.
Market Risk Console
Systemic Risk Radar
The Market Risk Console is a high-fidelity monitoring system for cross-market stress. It replaces simple price tracking with a Composite Risk Status model, which analyzes the confluence of high-frequency volatility expansion and structural drawdown clusters. This identifies "liquidation-ready" regimes before they cascade.
Advanced Logic: Risk Transmission
1. Catalyst
Volatility expansion in a stable regime.
2. Cluster
Multiple assets hit high-drawdown thresholds.
3. Acceleration
Futures leverage amplifies the move.
4. Systemic
Technical deterioration across all filters.
Key Classifications
Metrics Defined
Drawdown %
How far the price has fallen from its recent peak. -20% is a correction; -50% is a crash.
RSI (Relative Strength Index)
Momentum oscillator. > 70 is "Overbought" (expensive), < 30 is "Oversold" (cheap). Use this to time entries.
Full Module Reference Available On-Page
The Market Risk Analysis console includes a built-in executive reference guide covering volatility regimes, drawdown stress models, and technical deterioration signals across Spot and Futures markets.
Price Divergence
Arbitrage Detection
Bitcoin should cost the same everywhere, but it doesn't. If Binance has BTC at $50,000 and Coinbase has it at $50,100, there is a Price Divergence. This tool scans millions of price points to find these discrepancies.
Why does this happen?
- Liquidity Crunches: Someone sells a huge amount on one exchange, momentarily crashing price there.
- Network Issues: If deposits are paused on an exchange, prices drift from the global average.
How to use it
Look for Actionable or Extreme severity tags.
Green bars in the chart mean the exchange is trading Higher than average. Red/Orange bars mean it is trading Lower.
New Listings
Early Discovery Engine
The most volatile time for any asset is right after it lists. This page tracks coins that have been live for less than 24 hours.
Concept: Genesis vs. Expansion
The First time this token has ever been listed on a centralized exchange. Extremely high risk/reward.
Metric: Futures Lag
Futures Lag measures the time delay between a Spot listing and a Futures listing.
If a coin has Spot but No Futures yet, volatility will be higher because "shorts" can't easily suppress the price.
Basis & Funding
Quantitative Spread Intelligence
Basis and Funding is the engine of institutional crypto yields. This module surfaces Structural Dislocations between Spot and Futures markets. Unlike directional trading, this focuses on Convergent Carry, earning from the normalization of price gaps and the periodic exchange of funding interest.
Statistical Discipline
The system employs a Rolling Z-Score Window to evaluate the extremity of the basis spread. A Z-score > 2.5 identifies a statistical outlier, indicating a structural dislocation often caused by aggressive unbalanced liquidation or extreme sentiment skew.
Basis %
Difference between Futures and Spot price. Positive Basis = Futures are more expensive.
Funding Rate
Interest paid between longs and shorts every 8 hours. Positive = Longs pay Shorts.
Total APY
Combined annual yield you could earn by buying Spot and shorting Futures (Delta Neutral).
Z-Score
Statistical anomaly score. > 2.0 means the spread is unusually wide (Opportunity).
What is "S-TIER ARB"?
S-TIER ARB is our highest quality signal. It triggers when:
- Basis is Positive (Futures > Spot)
- Funding is Positive (You get paid to be Short)
- Z-Score is High (The gap is historically wide)
This creates a "Double Dip" scenario where you earn from the price gap closing AND from the funding payments.
Full Module Reference Available On-Page
The Basis & Funding Intelligence page includes a built-in research reference guide covering data architecture, mathematical formulas (Z-scores, annualization logic), and carry trade mechanics. It is designed for professional quantitative research.
