Daily Workflow Playbook Guide & Analytics
A structured 20-minute daily session guide describing how to use the AlphaSignal Terminal from open to close — covering regime context, signal review, macro confirmation, trade entry, and end-of-day performance audit. Follow this sequence to ensure every trade decision is grounded in multi-factor confluence before execution.
Phase 1 — Morning Brief (5 min)
Overview
Open the Dashboard first. The three critical reads on open are the Fear & Greed gauge (market risk posture), the Macro Regime Radar (is the underlying regime still intact from yesterday?), and the Sector Treemap (where is capital flowing right now?). These three together establish the day's strategic context before a single signal is evaluated. Fear & Greed below 30 combined with a Liquidity-positive regime is historically a strong accumulation environment — in this configuration, signals are weighted more aggressively. Fear & Greed above 75 combined with HIGH-VOL expansion demands tighter stops and smaller sizes regardless of signal quality.
How to Read
Read left to right: Regime first (strategic context), Fear/Greed second (sentiment overlay), Sector Treemap third (capital flow direction). All three together tell you whether today is an offensive or defensive day.
Phase 2 — Signal Review (10 min)
Overview
Navigate to Signal Hub. Work through four screens in order: (1) Live Signals — scan the Z-Score bell curve, target signals with Z > 2.5 that are not tail outliers. Check the Firing Density histogram — a spike after a quiet period signals a breakout catalyst. (2) Alpha Score — sort descending, the top 5 assets above score 75 become today's watchlist. Cross-reference each against the Signal Confidence Radar to confirm multi-factor support rather than a single-indicator pop. (3) Strategy Lab — for any high-score asset, pull up the Guppy EMA ribbon. Short EMAs compressing above long EMAs signals tension before a breakout. (4) Signal Archive — filter ML_LONG + HIGH severity in the last 24h for the machine's highest-conviction calls of the session.
How to Read
The sequence matters: Bell curve (market breadth) → Alpha Score (opportunity ranking) → Strategy Lab (entry timing) → Archive (ML confirmation). Do not jump to the Archive first — context from the previous steps prevents acting on isolated signals.
Phase 3 — Macro Context (5 min)
Overview
Navigate to Macro Intel then Institutional. The Macro Calendar is checked first — FOMC, CPI, and NFP events within 48 hours require position sizes to be halved regardless of signal quality, as scheduled macro volatility is not alpha. The Yield Curve chart confirms whether the bond market is pricing in stress that has not yet appeared in crypto price action. A deepening 2Y/10Y inversion indicates institutional risk-off that will eventually reach crypto. Finally, Institutional → Capital Flows reveals whether ETF net flow this week is positive or negative — institutional accumulation is the most reliable confirming signal for any bullish setup identified in Phase 2.
How to Read
This phase is a filter, not a generator. It either confirms or veto-es setups from Phase 2. A perfect Phase 2 signal that collides with a FOMC event in 24h gets halved in size. A perfect Phase 2 signal with positive ETF flows and a normal yield curve gets full allocation.
Phase 4 — Trade Decision (5 min)
Overview
For each shortlisted asset from Phase 2 that passed the Phase 3 filter, open Advanced Charting → TradingView to set the exact entry level. Then cross-reference two order-flow confirmations: (1) Market Depth 3D — if the bid wall is 3× the ask wall near current price, that represents real institutional support. Do not enter if asks dominate. (2) Order Flow → Whale Pulse — any large wallet accumulation in the last 6 hours confirms or contradicts the thesis. Contradicting whale data (selling into the Signal) is a veto. The final check is the Tape Imbalance rolling indicator — positive and rising rolling imbalance with buy pressure absorbing sells is the entry trigger. All four must align before committing capital.
How to Read
Think of this phase as a traffic-light check: TradingView sets the price level (WHERE to enter), Market Depth confirms liquidity support (IS the level defended?), Whale Pulse confirms smart money direction (WHO is on the right side?), Tape Imbalance confirms execution timing (WHEN to pull the trigger).
Phase 5 — End of Day (5 min)
Overview
Navigate to Audit & Performance. The Performance Dashboard shows whether today's signals generated alpha — check the equity curve and rolling Sharpe. Once per week (not daily), navigate to Institutional → AI Rebalancer and run a full rebalance plan. Accept EXECUTE → TRADE LEDGER tickets only for ADD actions with an ML score above 80% — lower-confidence additions are deferred until the next weekly rebalance. Finally, check the Risk Matrix — any position that now carries a high composite risk score due to the day's volatility should have its stop tightened or size reduced before close. The goal of this phase is not to make decisions but to measure and maintain discipline.
How to Read
The audit phase is about honesty: did the system work today, and did you follow it? Compare the equity curve against BTC buy-and-hold. If you are underperforming after following the system, the regime may be misaligned — reduce sizes. If you are outperforming, increase systematic adherence and reduce discretionary overrides.
