What Boostio Is

A research platform for crypto and US stocks that shows its work: dated sources, public paper books instead of promises, and tests written down before they run.

Boostio watches two markets, writes up what it sees and tests ideas with simulated money in public. It never takes orders, holds money or connects to a broker. Everything it trades is paper, and everything it claims has a source and a date.

Cryptolive prices

Wave, the live Terminal, Scout, the Digest, Narratives and Market Pulse. Prices from public exchange feeds in seconds; a daily bar counts once the UTC day is final.

Stocksend of day

Stock Trade Twins, Stock Besties, the research tools, and the stock views of Scout and the Terminal. Final daily closes and SEC filings; no live quotes.

Prediction marketsno data collected

Kalshi's public market data is checked daily and ready to price the copy pilot's paper fills, for Boostio's own testing only. The pilot's signals, named traders' trades, have no permitted source, so nothing has been copied.

A Day at Boostio

Boostio runs on a fixed daily schedule. This is what happens, when, and where you see it. All times are UTC: New York is 4 hours behind in summer and 5 in winter.

00:00 to 03:00Overnight: the day closes

At midnight UTC the crypto day ends and the daily audio recap posts. At 01:10 the day's crypto bars become final, so Wave's decision policy can check BTC and ETH against their 200-day averages at the next scan. The US session's final closes are in by then (Boostio counts a stock price only after 20:00 New York), so Stock Trade Twins (01:40) and Stock Besties (01:55) update. Scout runs its first scan at 02:00, the strategy-test books record the day at 02:15 and 02:20, and the stock research tools refresh from SEC data at 02:25.

12:00 to 17:00Midday: the publishing window

Narratives measures the sectors again at 12:01. At 13:30 the Digest summarizes the last 24 hours and the cross-asset indicators update. The second stock checks run at 13:40 and 13:55, Scout scans again at 14:00 as the morning audio recap posts, and at 14:20 Market Pulse publishes the day's briefing. The research tools refresh at 14:25, protocol revenue is checked at 15:00 and the briefing email goes out about 16:30.

18:00 to 24:00Evening

Narratives measures the sectors again at 18:01 and Scout runs its third scan at 22:00. Through the night and the day, Wave keeps scanning every 15 minutes.

Scout

Long-term research ideas. On crypto, Scout looks for coins far below their highs that still have a narrative, quality and a base forming. On stocks, it collects the leads from the stock tools.

02:00 · 14:00 · 22:00 UTC · crypto; the stock view follows each final close

What goes in
The 300 largest coins by market value (CoinGecko, $100 million and up), plus CoinGecko trending coins, news-catalyst coins and every coin Scout already follows: about 480 coins a scan. About a year of weekly candles per coin and the sector map from Narratives.
What comes out
A Buy Score out of 10 for each coin, its five part scores, a thesis and an entry zone. Calls keep their date and price, and the record shows each call's move since.
Free and paid
The record is public. The top 3 calls show their full research free; members see every dossier with counter-evidence.

What the Buy Score weighs

Narrative×1.5

The coin's sector on the Narratives map: how mature it is, how fast its leaders are moving and whether the coin leads or follows, with a boost when upstream stocks confirm the theme.

Quality×1.25

Rank (top 50 or top 150), a durable category, and a market value between about $300 million and $5 billion.

Structure×1

The weekly chart: momentum (MACD) improving, RSI above 40 and rising, price above or within 20% of its long weekly average, a tight 30-week base.

Value×0.75

How far the price sits below its all-time high: more points at 30%, 50%, 70% and 90% below.

Entry×0.5

Price within 5 to 10% of its recent weekly low, a weekly RSI under 40, and price in the bottom 30% of its 50-week range.

Each part is scored from 0 to 2 points and multiplied by its weight; the weights add up to 5, so the top score is 10. Old coins with a weak chart and no live narrative lose up to 1.5 points. A coin scoring 7.0 or more becomes a call. Two research lanes add coins below that bar, each labelled: CoinGecko trending coins after a breakout (up 10% in a day or 20% in a week) and news-catalyst coins scoring at least 4.

Narratives

A map of crypto's sectors: which ones are moving, which coins lead them, and which followers have not caught up yet.

00:01 · 06:01 · 12:01 · 15:00 · 18:01 UTC · sector scan every 6 hours; revenue check daily

What goes in
11 sectors (AI, AI agents, DePIN, real-world assets, restaking, stablecoin rails, memecoin platforms, BTC treasury companies, the Solana ecosystem, modular data availability and DeFi), each with its leader coins and follower layers; CoinGecko prices; protocol revenue from DefiLlama; and 38 upstream US stocks and ETFs, updated daily at 13:30.
What comes out
A health table per sector (age, leaders, followers, 30-day velocity, open alerts), alerts with a thesis and an entry zone, and the cross-asset board.
Velocity
The average 30-day move of a sector's leaders. It tells you whether the sector is in motion at all.

The three kinds of alert

Leader breakout

A sector leader trades above its 90-day high (dashed). Its follower coins are flagged to research.

Laggard

The sector's leaders are up more than 30% on average over 30 days while a follower has barely moved.

Revenue inflection

A protocol's revenue (DefiLlama) is rising faster than its token price (checked daily at 15:00 UTC).

17 alerts in the last 7 days across 11 sectors.

Terminal

The market as an instrument: crypto live, stocks at the last final close, with every research engine's view beside the price.

Crypto: what goes in
Public Binance prices, order books, trades and the BTC perpetual premium, for coins whose Binance listing is confirmed (quoted in USDT); Wave's coin universe for the day; the research engines' dated views.
Crypto: what comes out
The Wave field, a ring of the day's coin universe sized by market value whose surface rises and dips with each coin's 24-hour move; five-minute candles and the order book for the coin in focus; the evidence from each engine; the paper account.
Timing
Market data is live. Everything derived from Wave's or the engines' records is shown five minutes after it was recorded.
Stocks
About 400 US stocks with final closes on the same kind of ring (the surface is the last session's move, never intraday), the Twins spread board, the SEC filing tape, AI demand and the paper book. It refreshes after each final close.

Which motion means something

Ambient: decoration
  • The ring's slow turn and its ripple
  • Dim beads drifting down the input streams
  • On the stocks ring, the same idle motion: no stock price is live
Real events
  • A bright bead and a lit coin: a live price that changed since the last read
  • Needle sprays: larger public BTC trades (not Wave's fills)
  • A new Wave paper trade or signal, five minutes after it happened
  • A fast turn with a sweep: Wave's scanner is running right now

Wave's account currently runs on one simple rule, the decision policy: BTC and ETH, each held only while its last final daily close is above its 200-day average. The long-term holds keep accumulating Scout's top picks. The alt-coin engine keeps scoring every coin every 15 minutes, but opens nothing new while the policy is in force.

Stock Trade Twins

Rival stocks from every industry, side by side: who leads the business, who leads the stock, and whether the gap between them has a measured habit of closing.

01:40 · 13:40 UTC · on final daily closes

What goes in
The Nasdaq screener (the largest US companies by industry, matched to SEC industry codes), SEC revenue by year and final daily closes. Today: 902 companies in 132 industries, 382 candidate pairs.
What comes out
For every pair: the business leader, the stock leader and the relationship. For measured twins: the spread in standard deviations from its mean and, when it is stretched, a paper idea.
The paper book
Long the laggard and short the leader, $10,000 a side, filled at the next official open, closed together when the spread returns to its mean or reaches 4 standard deviations. Costs, borrow and dividends are charged.

A pair counts as a measured twin only if its daily returns move together (correlation 0.60 or more), its spread passes a mean-reversion test, the spread has closed half its gap within 63 sessions, and the data is fresh. Only measured twins can produce paper ideas, and only from 2 standard deviations.

Research

Research built only from dated public data: three ownership lists (Crypto Rich Lists, Stock Ownership / Insider Trades and the Catalyst Calendar), the AI Bottleneck Radar, fund holdings from 13F filings, and theme exposure.

02:25 · 14:25 UTC · SEC data as filed; prices are final closes

What goes in
SEC XBRL filings (cloud capital spending; candidates' backlog, revenue and inventory), Form 4 insider filings, quarterly 13F filings, US producer prices (BLS, through FRED), final closes, CoinGecko onchain holder data, and the official Fed, CPI and earnings calendars.
Ownership lists
Crypto Rich Lists: the 20 largest wallets of each covered coin, sorted into exchanges, locked supply, contracts and unlabelled holders, with what changed since the day before (balance changes, never called trades). Stock Ownership / Insider Trades: insider purchases and sales from Form 4, buybacks, share counts and the funds Boostio tracks. Catalyst Calendar: earnings, token unlocks, Fed and CPI dates, each marked by how sure it is. Refreshed twice a day.
AI Bottleneck Radar
Starts from the capital spending the largest cloud companies report (5 companies: $691 billion over their latest twelve months, +94% on a year earlier) and follows it to bottlenecks: power delivery and memory. Each candidate shows its evidence, its uncertainties and what would invalidate it. Nuclear power is research only: never priced and never a paper trade.
Fund holdings
What two funds report in their 13F filings each quarter, with what a 13F cannot show: short positions, most derivatives, cash and trade dates.

Strategy Lab

Every strategy Boostio tests, on one board: its rules, where it stands, and its results only when they are real.

What goes in
Each test's own records and its frozen rules. Public output is computed from records at least five minutes old.
What comes out
A lane per test across five stages (Registered, Historical test, Forward record, First read, Decision), a status and, once there are enough days, its chart.
The method
Rules are written down before the first run and frozen: a changed rule gets a new name. Each test runs beside a control, with costs charged. A verdict comes only on a date set in advance, and only when a 95% interval sits entirely above or below zero. Anything else is "not demonstrated", which is not the same as "no effect".

Right now: 10 tests, 1 running or in force, 6 collecting, 3 blocked or needing data.

Wave in depth

Wave is Boostio's crypto paper account. This part explains its current rules in detail: the decision policy in force, the scanner that still scores every coin, the gates and exits that apply when alt-coin entries are allowed, and the long-term holds. Guide revised October 25, 2026.

Current state: Not in force. Wave's scored and trend alt-coin entries were retired on October 25, 2026, after testing had not shown an edge for them after costs, so the gates and exits below open nothing new; they stay described for the record. The policy's record →

WAVE 01

What Wave Is

A public paper account for crypto: $100,000 of simulated money, real prices, every trade shown, and one rule in charge today.

Wave is Boostio's crypto strategy, run in public with paper money. It reads the market every 15 minutes, keeps a ledger of every simulated trade and marks the account to live prices. Fees and slippage are modelled, and the account figures are after them; nothing is sent to an exchange.

The account restarted with a fresh $100,000 on October 16, 2026. The first account's closed trades stay archived as history, and its 32 long-term buys ($50,000, still open at the reset) are tracked on the Wave page on their own capital. They are never added to the new account.

1The decision policy

$30,000 of policy capital, half in BTC and half in ETH, each held only while its coin's last final daily close is above its 200-day average.

Now: in cash
2Long-term holds

Scout's top picks, bought in planned tranches and held through the cycle, with no stop and no timer.

Now: 0 holds, $0 invested
3The alt-coin engine

Scores every coin every 15 minutes for the research tools. Its scored and trend entries were retired on October 25, 2026: testing had not shown an edge for them after costs. It opens nothing new; its trend candidates are still logged and followed forward.

WAVE 02

The Decision Policy

The rule in force on Wave's account since October 17, 2026: BTC and ETH, each held only while it trades above its own long-term trend.

  1. The policy capital is split into a BTC half and an ETH half, and each half compounds on its own.
  2. Each UTC day's bars become final at 01:10 UTC. The next scan compares each coin's final close with its 200-day simple moving average.
  3. Above the average: buy, or keep holding. Below it: sell to cash. There is no stop, no target and no timer.
  4. Each switch pays modelled costs of 0.08% per side and is logged with the day that decided it. The fill uses the price at that scan, and the log shows how far it was from the day's open.
  5. While the policy is in force, the scored and trend alt-coin entries open nothing new and short selling is off.
rule in force$73,796$73,191Nov 2025May 2026Nov 2026
BTC final daily close200-day averageDays above the average (the rule holds BTC)The rule has run Wave's account since the dashed line; shading before it shows where it would have held. Last final close 2026-11-10. ETH has its own half under the same rule.

Why this rule. It was tested on history before it was adopted, against the alt-coin engine and against simply holding BTC. It was chosen for a shallower worst drawdown in every test window, not for a higher return: from 2024 to 2026 it made less than holding BTC. History does not prove it will work; the forward record decides.

WAVE 03

Scoring Engine

Every 15 minutes Wave scores every coin in its universe. Its alt-coin entries are retired, and the scores still feed the Terminal, the Digest and the research tools.

A coin's score adds up the parts below. The badges are live: they come from the checks that watch each feed, so a part whose data stops arriving shows it here.

Smart-money flows, recorded at zero weight

Setups count only while they are live. A bullish divergence earns points only if it is a textbook one (the indicator really makes a higher low at the two price lows), and a chart pattern whose measured target was already reached earns nothing, even if the price falls back below it.

Measured before it is weighted. Smart-money flows, social sentiment, third-party technical signals, cross-exchange derivatives and exchange flows are recorded at zero weight and compared with what happened next. None has earned a weight so far.

The scan also reads the four newsroom feeds, refreshes the market regime and, while the decision policy is in force, checks its rule. Its signals are kept with their reasons, including the ones a gate blocked.

WAVE 04

Entry Gates

A score is not a trade. A candidate passes these gates in order before Wave opens an alt-coin position. Since October 25, 2026 the scored and trend entries are retired, so no candidate is entered; the gates are kept for the record.

  1. The decision policy

    While it is in force, scored and trend alt-coin entries are blocked. This gate is closed today.

  2. The market regime

    BTC against its 50-day average and its 14-day return set the regime: risk-on, neutral, caution or risk-off. Weaker regimes need a higher score and get smaller positions; risk-off allows no new longs.

  3. The score floor

    A long needs a score of at least 6, or 7 in risk-off.

  4. Crowding and liquidity

    No long when funding is between -50% and 0% a year (shorts crowded in) unless the score is 8 or more, when funding is above 30% a year (longs crowded in), or when the coin trades less than $5 million a day on average over 14 days. Only coins in the two middle size tiers qualify.

  5. The chart

    No long on a confirmed bearish divergence, when the price sits in the top fifth of its 24-hour range (chasing), or without confirmation from volume or market structure.

  6. The calendar

    No new longs on Sundays, Thursdays or Saturday afternoons (Pacific time): the weakest days in Wave's own record.

  7. The portfolio

    At most 80% of the account deployed and 40 positions open, at most 3 coins or 25% of the account in one correlated cluster, a 48-hour pause on a coin after a loss worse than 2%, and a breaker after a drawdown day.

A signal blocked by a gate that later lifts is checked again at every scan, so it can still enter once the gate opens. Blocked candidates are recorded with their reason, so the gates themselves can be audited.

WAVE 05

Exits and Risk

Every exit is triggered by price or risk. None is triggered by how long a position has been held.

Alt-coin trades

A stop set from the coin's volatility (ATR) and never more than 10% below entry; a guard for prices that gap through the stop; profit taken in steps with a trailing stop; break-even once the trade is up 8% before its first target; for strong trends, a trail three ATRs below the high plus an exit on a daily close below the 30-day exponential average; an exit when the market regime flips; and an early exit on a 5% drop within the first 6 hours.

Trend trades

A stop at the larger of the entry minus three ATRs and 25% below the entry, and an exit on the first final daily close below the 20-day exponential average.

The decision policy

No stop and no target: each half leaves only when its coin closes below its 200-day average.

Long-term holds

No stop, no take-profit ladder and no timer. Nothing is sold automatically.

No timer exits. They were retired on September 26, 2026: a replay of every timer-affected exit found no edge in them, so hours held alone never close or tighten a position.

Account limits. Up to 80% of the account deployed, up to 40 open positions, and caps per correlated cluster. Short selling is off while the decision policy is in force.

WAVE 06

Long-term Holds

A buy-and-hold sleeve for the bottom of the cycle: Scout's top picks, accumulated in planned tranches and held through the move, not traded.

Wave's trade book is built for momentum: it enters on a score, manages a stop and exits. Accumulating coins near a cycle low and holding them for the move up is a different job, so the long-term holds follow different rules: no hard stop, no take-profit ladder, no time-based exit and a deeper tolerance for drawdowns. They are part of the same $100,000 account, so they count in its equity and appear in the Open Trades table under the Long-term holds filter, tagged with why each one is held.

How the picks are chosen

The basket is the eight top Scout candidates by score, deep below their all-time highs. A coin qualifies only with a Scout score of at least 5.5 from the last 40 hours, so the sleeve buys today's high scorers, not last week's. Each position records why it is held: the signal source, the score at entry, the thesis and how far below its high it was.

How it accumulates

A first tranche of 20% of the budget buys the basket, and 10% more is added every 7 days until the sleeve reaches its target of 30% of the account. Extra tranches are planned for BTC dips of 10% and 20% below the starting reference, so being early lowers the average cost, and one more is added when BTC climbs back above a rising 50-day average. Nothing is sold automatically: a holding that falls below the bar is flagged for review.

Bounded on October 25, 2026. The target was lowered from half the account to 30%, and the tranche bought when BTC climbed back above its 50-day average was sold after that move failed at the next daily close. The sale took the loss; it stays in the record, after costs. The same day, six purchases booked at stale prices were restated to the last market price recorded before each one: an estimate within the hour, not an exact fill. The original entries are kept beside them. Together the restatements raise the account by about $480 at October 25 prices: a correction of the record, not a trading gain.

Right now: 0 long-term holds, $0 invested.

Paper only, real money off. The sleeve was renamed long-term holds on September 29, 2026. The first account's 32 long-term buys are tracked separately on the Wave page.

WAVE 07

Intentionally Not Here Yet

What a trading desk might have and Wave deliberately does not, with the reason for each.

Real money (live capital)
Off. Funding would first need Wave's forward record to pass a rule written in advance: at least 40 closed trades over at least 90 days, a per-trade edge over the same dollars in BTC whose 95% interval sits above zero, a result ahead of a simple BTC trend rule, and a worst drawdown no deeper than 25%. Even then it is the owner's decision. Today the rule is not met.
Short selling
Off while the decision policy is in force.
Exchange or broker connections
None. Prices come from public feeds and every trade is paper.
Live stock quotes
Stocks are end of day by design: a price counts once the session's bar is final.
Copying Kalshi traders
Kalshi's public market data is checked daily and ready to price the copy pilot's paper fills, for Boostio's own testing. The pilot still needs named traders' trades: Kalshi shows those only on its website and app, whose terms do not allow scripted collection, and its API carries none, so the copy books have nothing to copy. Those books copy other traders; following Boostio's own paper trades needs none of it, because every buy and sell of its books is published on Wave and Stock Trade Twins.
Signals with no proven value
Smart-money flows, social sentiment and third-party technical signals stay at zero weight until a written test shows they help after costs. The smart-money flows failed theirs as a score input in October 2026.
Retuning on old data
Wave does not keep adjusting rules on the same history until they look good. A new idea gets its own written test and is judged on data it has not seen.
