Screening Filters
Price: min $0.01, max $10
- Purpose: Find cheap coins in absolute price terms.
- Rationale:
- User asked for “cheap crypto,” which most people interpret as low nominal price per coin.
- The lower bound of $0.01 avoids near-worthless “dust” tokens that can be illiquid or abandoned.
- The upper bound of $10 caps the search to relatively low-priced coins, excluding high-priced majors like BTC or ETH.
Market Cap: min $150,000,000
- Purpose: Avoid extremely small, highly speculative or scam-prone projects.
- Rationale:
- Very low market-cap coins (micro/nano caps) can be easily manipulated and are more likely to fail or rug pull.
- A minimum market cap of $150M keeps the search in the “smaller but somewhat established” segment—still speculative, but with a higher likelihood of real projects and active communities.
24h Turnover (Trading Volume): min $10,000,000
- Purpose: Ensure liquidity so you can realistically buy and sell without huge slippage.
- Rationale:
- The user wants something to buy now; that requires enough daily trading activity.
- A $10M+ 24h turnover threshold helps filter out dead or illiquid coins where orders might not fill or might move the market too much.
1-Month Price Change (%): min -5%, max +100%
- Purpose: Avoid both collapsing coins and already-parabolic “chase-the-pump” situations.
- Rationale:
- Minimum -5%: excludes coins that are crashing hard (e.g., -30%, -50%), which can indicate serious fundamental or liquidity problems. A small decline is allowed to include mildly out-of-favor or consolidating names.
- Maximum +100%: removes coins that have already doubled or more in the last month and may be overheated or near a blow-off top, reducing the risk of buying the peak.
Why Results Match Your Request
- The price filter directly targets “cheap” cryptos.
- The market cap and volume filters balance “cheap” with a minimum standard of quality and tradability, making it more realistic to actually invest.
- The 1-month performance filter focuses on coins that haven’t just crashed nor already gone vertical, giving a more balanced risk/reward profile for “what to buy now.”
