Introduction
In the fast-paced world of crypto trading, informed decisions are crucial for capturing opportunities. Enter DegenAI. It is an AI-powered trading assistant that helps traders navigate the complexities of the crypto market.
Designed to empower traders of all experience levels, DegenAI simplifies decision-making and automates complex processes. From gathering critical market data to executing trades or monitoring conditions, DegenAI helps traders operate efficiently in crypto markets.
Vision
To redefine crypto trading by creating an AI assistant that combines market analysis with live data to provide specific trading signals & automated execution.
DegenAI will become the go-to tool for aggregating essential data, enabling informed decisions, and enhancing trading strategies.
Mission
To deliver a platform that processes market analysis, user inputs, and trading instructions through natural language. At full capability, DegenAI will process commands such as:
  • "Monitor BTC funding rates across all venues, alert me when 3 or more flip negative with rising OI, and calculate optimal stoploss based on the 60 daily hma data and structural price levels."
  • "Track whale wallet movements above 1000 BTC, correlate with exchange flows, and notify me of potential accumulation patterns."
  • "When liquidation cascades exceed 500M within 5 minutes, check if price raided into a significant liquidity zone, and execute a scaled entry with 3 orders if volatility decreases."
  • "Create a live dashboard showing correlation between funding rates, whale movements, and liquidation levels, with configurable alerts."
  • "Analyze my last 50 trades, identify what market conditions I perform best in based on XYZ indicators, and suggest strategy adjustments."
Starting with detailed market analysis and gradually expanding to automated trading and custom dashboards, DegenAI will transform how traders interact with and profit from the markets through data aggregation, clear visualization, and intelligent automation.
