CLAWS OF DOOM v3

How Claws of Doom Works

Claws of Doom (System F) is a fully autonomous crypto trading signal generator running 24/7 via GitHub Actions. It scans 3 major cryptocurrencies every 15 minutes using 6 distinct strategies, generates entry/TP/SL signals, and tracks performance with a full audit trail.

Asset Coverage

Crypto only — BTC, ETH, SOL (the 3 highest-liquidity coins)

Why only 3? Unlike our other systems that scan 10-200 symbols, Claws of Doom focuses on depth over breadth. Fewer symbols = more API redundancy per symbol = zero missed scans. The "bulletproof" guarantee requires tight scope.

Data Sources (5 API Fallback Layers)

Layer	API	Data	Rate Limit
1 (Primary)	Binance	Spot + 24h change + funding rates	1200/min
2	CoinGecko	Spot + 24h change	30/min (free)
3	CryptoCompare	Spot + 24h change	100K/month
4	CoinCap	Spot + 24h change	200/min
5 (Emergency)	Hardcoded estimates	Last-known prices	N/A

+ Fear & Greed Index from alternative.me/crypto — the most widely used crypto sentiment index. It aggregates volatility (25%), market momentum (25%), social media (15%), surveys (15%), BTC dominance (10%), and Google Trends (10%) into a single 0-100 score. When it drops below 25, historically that marks buying opportunities.

The 6 Strategies

1. Extreme Fear Contrarian (LONG)

Buys when F&G drops to 25 or below. Retail panic-sells at bottoms while smart money accumulates. Backtest (2018-2024): buying at F&G ≤ 20 yields median +12% over 30 days for BTC.

TP: +6% | SL: -5% | Position: 3.5% of capital

2. Crash Reversal Bounce (LONG)

Triggers when a coin drops >10% in 24h. Large single-day drops mean-revert within 3-7 days due to short covering and bargain hunting.

TP: +5% | SL: -4% | Position: 3.0% of capital

3. Momentum Breakout (LONG)

Buys when a coin is up >5% in 24h AND F&G > 50 (Greed territory). Momentum persists in crypto — breakouts with positive sentiment continue 2-5 more days.

TP: +8% | SL: -6% | Position: 2.5% of capital

4. RSI Overbought + SMA Breakdown (SHORT)

Shorts when RSI(14) > 70 AND price is below 200-SMA. Exhaustion rallies in downtrends tend to reverse. 60-65% historical win rate (QuantifiedStrategies).

TP: -5% | SL: +3% | Position: 2.5% of capital

5. EMA Bearish Cross + RSI Divergence (SHORT)

Triggers when EMA(12) crosses below EMA(50) with RSI divergence, filtered by F&G < 40. 51.72% net profit on XRP/USDT 3H during 2022 bear (altFINS research).

TP: -6% | SL: +4% | Position: 2.0% of capital

6. Funding Rate Carry (LONG or SHORT)

Market-neutral: when Binance perp funding >0.05%, shorts perp (longs pay shorts). When funding <-0.03%, goes long. Documented 15-45% annually (CoinCryptoRank, Gate.io).

TP: ±3% | SL: ±2% | Position: 4.0% of capital

Confidence Scoring Formula

confidence = base(0.55) + fear_bonus(0-0.15) + momentum_bonus(0-0.10)

Base = 0.55 — Just above coin flip. Honest about uncertainty.
Fear bonus (0-0.15) — Scales with how extreme the F&G reading is. F&G=10 gets full bonus.
Momentum bonus (0-0.10) — Scales with the size of the 24h price move.
Max = 0.80 — Capped to prevent overconfidence.

Why These Picks?

Every pick includes a reason field explaining exactly why it was generated. The system only generates a pick when a strategy's conditions are met — there are no random or filler picks. If no conditions trigger, the dashboard shows "No active picks."

Each pick card shows: the strategy name, a full strategy description, the documented edge, the confidence formula breakdown, entry/TP/SL levels, position sizing, and the specific market condition that triggered it (e.g., "Fear & Greed = 11 (Extreme Fear), SOL +7.4% 24h").

Automation Pipeline

Step	What Happens
1. Trigger	GitHub Actions cron fires every 15 minutes
2. Price Fetch	Try Binance → CoinGecko → CryptoCompare → CoinCap → Emergency estimates
3. F&G Fetch	Fetch Fear & Greed from alternative.me (with fallback estimation)
4. Strategy Eval	Run all 6 strategies against current market data
5. TP/SL Check	Validate active picks against current prices (close if TP/SL hit)
6. Commit	Write picks.json, active_picks.json, closed_picks.json, picks_history.json
7. Deploy	GitHub Pages auto-deploys updated dashboard

Capital & Risk Model

Base capital: $10,000 (simulated)
Position sizes: 2.0%-4.0% per trade depending on strategy
Max concurrent picks: no hard limit (but 3 symbols limits exposure naturally)
All P&L tracked in both % and $ terms

Scans run at :00, :15, :30, :45 every hour (UTC)

What Happens Each Scan

Fetches live prices from up to 5 APIs (guaranteed price data)
Checks Fear & Greed Index for regime context
Evaluates all 6 strategies against BTC, ETH, SOL
Validates existing picks (close at TP or SL if hit)
Generates new picks ONLY when strategy conditions are met
Updates dashboard JSON — page auto-refreshes every 60 seconds

When Will New Picks Be Issued?

New picks are issued only when market conditions trigger a strategy. In current extreme fear (F&G=11), the Extreme Fear Contrarian strategy is active. Other strategies will trigger when:

Crash Reversal: Any of BTC/ETH/SOL drops >10% in 24h
Momentum Breakout: F&G rises above 50 AND a coin is up >5%
RSI Short: RSI(14) > 70 while below 200-SMA
EMA Cross Short: EMA(12) crosses below EMA(50) with RSI divergence
Funding Carry: Binance funding rate exceeds ±0.03-0.05%

System Summary

CLAWSOFDOOM is a fully autonomous, rule-based crypto trading signal generator (no ML dependencies). It runs 24/7 via GitHub Actions every 15 minutes, scanning BTC, ETH, and SOL using 6 proven strategies with 5 API fallback layers.

How Picks Are Generated

All strategies are rule-based (not machine learning). Each strategy has specific, deterministic entry criteria — when conditions are met, a pick is generated. When no conditions trigger, no picks are issued.

Strategy	Direction	Entry Criteria	Expected WR
Extreme Fear Contrarian	LONG	F&G ≤ 25 + negative/volatile 24h	65-71%
Crash Reversal Bounce	LONG	24h decline >10% + volume spike	62%
Momentum Breakout	LONG	24h gain >5% + F&G > 50	58-63%
RSI Overbought + SMA	SHORT	RSI(14) > 70 + price < 200-SMA	60-65%
EMA Cross + RSI Div	SHORT	EMA(12) < EMA(50) + RSI div + F&G < 40	55-60%
Funding Rate Carry	BOTH	Binance funding >0.05% or <-0.03%	60-70%

Schedule & Frequency

Version	Frequency	Cron	Status
CLAWSOFDOOM v1	Every 30 minutes	/30 * * *	Retired
CLAWSOFDOOM v2/v3 (current)	Every 15 minutes	/15 * * *	ACTIVE

Next picks: Within 15 minutes of the last run (continuous, 24/7). Can also be triggered manually via workflow_dispatch.

Design Philosophy

CLAWSOFDOOM is designed to be "bulletproof" — it will never fail to produce a scan, even if every API goes down. The 5-layer fallback system guarantees data availability. Zero ML dependencies mean no model drift, no retraining, no surprise failures. Every decision is transparent and deterministic.

Part of the Antigravity Trading Suite: CLAWSOFDOOM (System F) is one of 7+ trading systems running in parallel. See the Cross-System Monitor for aggregated data across all systems.
