# What is ErkeScan?

ErkeScan is an advanced cryptocurrency futures market screener and analytics platform. Think of it as your personal market radar — constantly scanning hundreds of trading pairs across multiple exchanges, detecting unusual activity, and alerting you before major price moves happen.

## The Problem We Solve

Crypto futures markets move fast. Hundreds of coins trade simultaneously across multiple exchanges. Key signals — a sudden spike in open interest, an unusual volume surge, a funding rate flip — often appear minutes before a big price move. No human can watch all of this at once.

ErkeScan watches everything for you, 24/7.

## How It Works

ErkeScan connects directly to the data streams of Binance Futures, Bybit, and Hyperliquid. Every second, we collect and process:

* **Price data** across all listed futures pairs
* **Trading volume** broken down by buy and sell pressure
* **Open interest** changes that reveal new money entering or exiting positions
* **Funding rates** that show market sentiment and leverage imbalance
* **Liquidation events** that can trigger cascading price moves
* **Whale transactions** that signal institutional activity

This raw data is processed through our analytics engine, which calculates 30+ derived metrics across multiple timeframes (5 minutes, 15 minutes, 1 hour, 8 hours, 1 day). The results are delivered to you in three ways:

1. **Web Dashboard** at [app.erkescan.com](https://app.erkescan.com) — a real-time screener with interactive charts and custom alert configuration
2. **Telegram Bot** — instant notifications when your alert conditions are triggered or when our signal scanner detects a high-probability setup
3. **Discord** — available for members of our closed community

## Who Is ErkeScan For?

ErkeScan is built for crypto futures traders of all experience levels:

* **Active day traders** who need real-time data to catch intraday moves
* **Swing traders** who want to spot accumulation or distribution patterns before they play out
* **Research-focused traders** who use data-driven analysis to build trade theses
* **Risk managers** who monitor funding rates, liquidation levels, and whale positioning

You don't need to be a programmer or quant. ErkeScan's interface is designed to be intuitive — if you can read a table and set a filter, you can use ErkeScan.

## What Makes ErkeScan Different

**Multi-exchange coverage** — Most screeners only track Binance. ErkeScan aggregates data from Binance, Bybit, and Hyperliquid, giving you a more complete picture of the market.

**Signal Scanner with grading** — Our proprietary momentum engine doesn't just tell you something is moving. It grades setups from A (strongest) to F (weakest) based on 9 factors, so you can focus on the highest-probability opportunities.

**Unlimited custom alerts** — Other platforms limit alert creation or charge extra. With ErkeScan, create as many alerts as you need using any combination of 30+ metrics.

**Real-time streaming** — No page refreshes needed. Data flows to your screen via live streaming, so you see changes the instant they happen.

**Whale intelligence** — Track what the biggest players in the market are doing, with dedicated whale alerts and trading pattern analysis.
