How to Pick the Right Coin — 4 Steps

// step 01

NATR Filter

Sort the screener by NATR descending. Target range is 3–8%: enough movement for scalping profit without extreme risk. Below 3% — nothing is moving. Above 10% — too dangerous.

// step 02

OI Check

Look at open interest. Rising OI alongside rising price means new positions are being opened — the trend has real momentum. Coins with growing OI produce cleaner, more predictable directional moves.

// step 03

Order Book + Liquidations

Open the depth for your chosen pair. Large limit order blocks are your support and resistance levels. Liquidation clusters ahead of the current price show where the market is likely to be pulled next.

// step 04

Chart Confirmation

Final check on the chart: candle structure, volume and key levels. Click any pair in the screener to open a full candle chart with 1m, 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h and 1d intervals.

SiftX Metrics for Coin Selection

// volatility

NATR — Normalised ATR

Compare volatility across BTC and micro-cap altcoins on the same scale. NATR as a percentage of price eliminates the distortion between a $97,000 coin and a $0.01 coin. Working range for scalping: 3–8%.

// positions

Open Interest and OI Delta

Total volume of unsettled positions in real time. Rising OI with rising price = new longs opening. Falling OI on a pullback = positions being closed, not new shorts entering.

// levels

Liquidation Heatmap

Clusters of forced closures mapped to price levels. They act as price magnets — the market is drawn to levels where the most liquidations are concentrated. Select coins with clear clusters ahead.

// order book

Order Book Density

Aggregate volume of limit orders near the current price. See major support and resistance levels before price reaches them, so you can plan entries rather than react.

// charts

Candle Charts 1m–1d

Up to 9 charts simultaneously with synchronized crosshair. Compare multiple selected coins side by side — spot correlations and never miss a move on your shortlist.

// arbitrage

Frequently Asked Questions

How to pick crypto coins to trade?
Filter by NATR first — coins in the 3–8% range offer the right balance of volatility and risk. Then confirm with open interest: rising OI alongside rising price signals healthy momentum. Finally check the order book depth for clean entry levels.
What are the best coins to trade today?
It changes daily based on volatility and volume. Use the SiftX screener: sort by NATR, check OI momentum and liquidation clusters ahead of the current price. This data-driven process replaces guesswork with a repeatable method.
What is NATR and why does it matter?
NATR (Normalised Average True Range) measures a coin's volatility as a percentage of its price. It lets you compare BTC at $97,000 and a $0.50 altcoin on the same scale. Working range for scalping: 3–8%. Below 3% there is no movement; above 10% the risk is too high.
Is registration required to use SiftX?
Yes, a free account is required to access the screener. Registration takes less than a minute — just a username and password. After signing up you immediately get access to all 600+ pairs with NATR, OI and liquidation data.
How does open interest help with coin selection?
Rising OI alongside a rising price means new long positions are being opened — the trend has real momentum behind it. Falling OI on a pullback means positions are being closed, not new shorts. Coins with growing OI tend to produce cleaner directional moves.
