Anatomy of a signal
Every Sigmate signal carries the same structure across Telegram, webhook, and API. Read this page once and you will know exactly what to look at first, second, and third on any alert you receive.
When a signal fires#
A signal fires when a wallet in the Sigmate pool buys a token, and within a 90-second window enough additional distinct on-chain buyers have bought the same token for the pattern to qualify as a cluster. The signal pipeline then enriches the event with token metadata, a rug check, and a quality rank before publishing.
Detection to delivery latency is measured in milliseconds from on-chain confirmation to your channel. Premium subscribers receive the signal instantly, the public channel receives it 30 seconds later, and some A or S rank signals never go to the public channel at all.
Reading a signal card#
Read a signal in this order. It takes about 10 seconds.
1. Rank badge
Top-right corner. The quality tag from D (weak) through S (elite). This is your first filter. If you are only interested in high-conviction signals, filter your feed to A and above.
- S (ELITE). Rare. Deep pool presence, clean rug check, strong wallet corroboration.
- A (STRONG). Solid pool cluster with a clean rug check. This is the bread and butter.
- B (SOLID). Meets the bar but with a softer pool footprint or a rug caveat.
- C (WATCH). Borderline. Worth reviewing if you have the bandwidth.
- D (WEAK). Lowest-quality fires. Posted to the free public Telegram channel for context but never delivered to premium channels: paid subscribers only receive C and above.
2. Token header
Name, ticker, and image come next. Below the name you see the detection timestamp in UTC and, if the signal is still in the 30-second premium window, a "Premium head-start" tag.
3. Token stats row
- DEX. Which decentralized exchange the token is trading on at detection (Pump.fun, Pump AMM, Raydium, and similar).
- Age. How long ago the token contract was created.
- Price. Spot price in USD at detection.
- MCap and Liquidity. Market capitalization and pool liquidity in USD. Use this to gauge how much impact your entry would have.
- Latency. Milliseconds from on-chain confirmation to signal emit. Lower is better.
4. Wallet cluster
The buyers that triggered the signal. Pool wallets are named and shown with their tier, score, win rate, and realized PnL. Other on-chain buyers are counted but not individually identified.
A good cluster shows multiple pool wallets and more on-chain strangers following. A pool-only cluster with no non-pool interest is a yellow flag.
5. Rug check row
Four checks run before publish: mint authority revoked, freeze authority revoked, liquidity pool burned or locked, and a routed price-impact sanity check. Any failure does not suppress the signal, it is annotated so you see it. A green "all clear" line means every check passed.
6. Trade links
Footer of the card. Direct links to Axiom, Trojan, Photon, and DEX Screener with the token pre-loaded so you can review the chart and execute from wherever you already trade.
5-minute outcome follow-up#
Five minutes after every signal, Sigmate posts a follow-up card on the same event with the maximum gain, maximum drawdown, and current price. This runs for every signal, not just the winners, and the aggregate feeds the public stats page.
Winning outcomes are broadcast to the public channel. Losers are stored silently so the stats page stays accurate without spamming the channel.
Exclusivity gate for A and S signals#
When the public channel already contains two or more B, A, or S signals in the previous 24 hours, the next A or S rank signal is marked premium-only. It is delivered to every premium channel (DM, webhook, API stream) but it is not posted to the public Telegram channel at all.
The idea is to keep the public feed marketing-useful without saturating it with high-value alpha. Premium subscribers get the rest.
Hourly recap#
At the top of every UTC hour, the public channel posts a one-line summary of the previous hour: how many signals fired, how many resolved positive, and the single best gain. It is a quick health check on the detector without opening the stats page.
Reality check
No signal service can guarantee profitable trades. Sigmate detects coordinated buying by wallets with strong historical track records, but you are still the one clicking buy. Size positions accordingly and assume any single trade can lose.
