FFAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does a whale buying time mean?

The Terminal's whale detection system marks days on which it sees a clear buying or selling tilt in the behavior of large players. How it is calculated is proprietary. It is market data, not a buy or sell recommendation.

What does the crowd comparison show?

The price outcome for people who bought near the peak, in greed or with leverage, and who sold in panic, over the same period. It shows how far whale times stand apart from the crowd's typical entries and exits.

Why are there three separate records?

Because each shows something different. The live record is whale times written on the night, before any outcome was known. The backtest is today's settings applied to past data. The previous setup is what the Terminal actually showed before May 17, 2026.

Why are the latest whale times missing?

The record enters this page with a 90-day delay. The current record is in the Terminal, in the Elite plan.

Is this investment advice?

No. This page is a record of the past and is not personalized. Past results do not guarantee future results.

The WHALE layer is in the Elite plan

See whale buying and selling times in the Terminal, on the same chart as Phantom Lights and CCraftVanga. This page keeps the record 90 days behind.
