Setting up filters: Daily Volume

In this article, we break down the general timeframe filter: Daily Volume.

Without proper volume settings, even the most precise ATR and range calculations can surface "attractive" coins that are practically impossible to trade. Let's break it all down.

📌 What is it?

This is the minimum daily trading turnover in USDT that a coin must have in order to appear in the screener results.

The screener analyzes real volume over the last 24 hours and filters out everything outside the specified range.

📐 Range Type

You can set a "from" (minimum volume) and "to" (maximum volume).

• "From N USDT" — shows coins with volume equal to or above the specified value.
• "To N USDT" — shows coins with volume equal to or below the specified value.

🧹 How to remove the filter entirely?

Simply select "🧹 Without filter" in the filter settings.

The screener will show all coins with no volume restriction.

This is useful when you're testing new ideas, looking for early-stage moves, or want the broadest possible selection — since subsequent timeframe filters will narrow it down anyway, especially when filters are applied across multiple timeframes.

🤔 How and when to use it for different strategies?

• Scalping and intraday: Maximum liquidity is required here to enter and exit without slippage.
• Swing trading: High-volume coins typically have cleaner price action and fewer false breakouts.
• Long-term holding: Here, growth potential matters more than immediate liquidity.

🤷‍♂️ What about low-liquidity coins?

Yes, the filter can be set to low volume thresholds (e.g., up to 500,000). This lets you specifically search for illiquid altcoins.

What strategies work on low-liquidity coins?

This is also part of the market, and many traders profit from it — but with different rules:

• Early entry into potential pumps (low-cap gems) — finding coins in the early hype stage when volume is just starting to grow.
• Long-term holding with high upside — buying "at the bottom" anticipating a future listing or growing interest.
• News-driven trading — fast moves on low volume can deliver 20–100% in a single day.
• Diversified portfolio of small positions — small lots across 20–50 different coins, so one strong pump covers the losses.

⚠️ Key risks when trading low-liquidity coins:

• Extreme slippage and manipulation risk.
• Hard to exit a large position without crashing the price.
• Recommended position size: no more than 0.5–1% of liquidity, and limit orders only.
• Suitable for experienced traders with strict risk management only.

Most professionals still prefer working with volume of 1M+ USDT, because signals are more accurate and predictable there.

✅ How does the volume filter help in trading?

• Saves time: instead of 500+ coins in results, you see only 30–70 actually tradeable instruments.
• Reduces risk: you avoid "dead" altcoins that look good on a chart but are impossible to enter or exit.
• Improves quality: signals are more reliable on liquid instruments where price moves are more "honest."
• Flexibility: using the "To" range type, you can hunt for highly volatile, low-liquidity coins when you're prepared for elevated risk.

The filter defaults to 1,000,000 USDT — the sweet spot for most futures traders.

Test and adjust the filter to match your own trading style.
