Understanding Signal Scores: How We Rank Trading Opportunities

Every signal on SigHunt comes with a score from 0-100. But what does that number actually mean? Let's break down our scoring methodology.

The Five Pillars of Our Scoring System

1. Transaction Value (35%)

Size matters. A $10 million insider purchase carries more weight than a $10,000 one. For crypto whales, we look at both the USD value and the percentage of total supply being moved.

2. Historical Accuracy (25%)

We track whether similar signals in the past preceded positive returns. If a particular pattern has been reliable historically, it scores higher.

3. Source Reputation (15%)

Not all insiders are equal. A CEO purchasing shares is generally more significant than a mid-level manager. Known whale wallets that have demonstrated good timing get bonus points.

4. Timing & Market Context (15%)

A purchase made during a market downturn or ahead of earnings often indicates stronger conviction than routine scheduled transactions.

5. Cross-Signal Correlation (10%)

When multiple signals align (e.g., insider buying AND whale accumulation in the same sector), the combined score increases.

Score Ranges

• 90-100: Exceptional - Very rare, historically high-conviction signals
• 80-89: Strong - Worth close attention
• 70-79: Good - Above average signal quality
• 60-69: Moderate - May be worth monitoring
• Below 60: Low - Standard activity, less actionable
