The Fastest Paths to Your Next Trade Idea

There are so many tools on altFINS, where to start?

It’s the question we hear most from new traders: “With so many indicators, signals, charts, tools… where do I even begin?”

Fair question. altFINS packs a lot in, because trading ideas come from a lot of different places.

Here’s a simple map of the four main entry points, and when to reach for each one.

1. Start with the Screener

The Screener is the fastest way to go from thousands of assets to a shortlist worth looking at. With 160+ pre-built filters, you don’t need to know exactly what you’re looking for, just pick a theme and let the filter do the work:

👉 Assets in Uptrend: filter for confirmed bullish trend structure

👉 Breaking Resistance: assets pushing through key levels with momentum

👉 Approaching Support: assets defending a level worth watching

👉 Buying Dips in Uptrend: pullback entries within a larger bullish move

Ten minutes with the Screener each morning is usually enough to build your watchlist for the day.

2. Three ways to find ready-to-go Trade Setups

Best for: “I want a ready-made setup, not a raw chart”

AI Chart Patterns, AI Trade Setups and Technical Analysis sections do the pattern-spotting and trade setups for you.

Instead of scrolling charts hunting for triangles, flags, or head-and-shoulders formations yourself, altFINS scans for them continuously and surfaces complete trade setups, pattern, entry zone, and key levels included.

It’s the difference between studying charts and being handed the ones that already matter.

👉 AI Trade Setups continuously generates structured trade ideas, entries, stops, targets, across 2,000+ assets, so you’re never starting from a blank chart.

👉 Want something more specific? The AI Copilot lets you build your own custom scan using plain language, no filter menus required. Just describe what you’re after:

“Show me large-cap coins holding above their 50-day moving average with RSI below 50”

“Find altcoins forming a bullish MACD crossover this week”

Type the question, get the matching assets. It’s the fastest way to test a hypothesis without touching a single filter dropdown.

3. Zoom out with Coin Picks

Best for: “I’m investing, not just trading this week”

Not every idea needs to play out in days. Coin Picks is built for longer-term conviction, curated investment ideas for traders thinking in weeks and months rather than intraday moves. It’s the section to check when you want to build a core position, not just a quick trade.
