Quick Start

What is Impetus Layer?

Impetus Layer is an AI trading system that reads market emotions before prices move. Instead of reacting to charts, we predict what the crowd will do — and execute trades first.

How does it work?

Three AI agents work together 24/7:

  • Sentiment Reader — Monitors millions of social posts
  • News Scout — Catches breaking crypto news instantly
  • Trade Bot — Executes profits automatically

Result: You get trading signals before the market reacts.

The Problem We Solve

Why Most Traders Lose

75% of retail traders fail because they trade on emotion, not data.

The cycle looks like this:

  1. FUD kicks in → Fear spreads on Twitter
  2. Panic selling starts → Prices drop 5-10%
  3. You finally decide → "I should have sold!"
  4. Market recovers → You bought back at the top

The problem? Humans can't process millions of signals fast enough.

By the time you see a tweet about an opportunity, institutions have already made their moves.

How Impetus Layer Works

Layer 1: Sentiment Reader 👁️

Scans billions of posts every day from:

  • Twitter/X — Where crypto news breaks first
  • Reddit — Community sentiment & research
  • Telegram — Real-time chat discussions
  • Discord — Trading community channels

What it does:

  • Detects FOMO signals (irrational excitement)
  • Spots fear reversal patterns (capitulation moments)
  • Tracks influencer movements
  • Measures crowd momentum in real-time

Result: Sentiment scores across multiple timeframes (5min, 15min, 1hour)

Layer 2: News Scout 📰

Monitors 50+ crypto news sources 24/7:

  • CoinDesk, Cointelegraph, Bloomberg Crypto
  • Reuters, SEC announcements
  • Exchange listings & regulatory updates
  • Major partnerships & technical upgrades

What it does:

  • Instantly detects market-moving events
  • Classifies impact: Bullish / Neutral / Bearish
  • Scores confidence based on source reliability
  • Predicts price reaction before headlines spread

Real example: When Solana ETF launched Oct 28, 2025:

  • • News Scout detected 847 mentions in 6 hours
  • • Sentiment showed 82% positive bias
  • • Signal: BUY SOL before mainstream reaction
  • • Result: +8.3% gain in first 14 hours

Layer 3: Trade Bot ⚡

Executes your trading strategy automatically:

  • Combines sentiment + news signals
  • Calculates optimal position size (based on risk)
  • Sets stop-loss and take-profit automatically
  • Executes on multiple exchanges in <500ms

Execution Speed:

Human traders: React in 5-30 minutes

Impetus Layer: Reacts in <500 milliseconds

Advantage: You capture the move before 99% of traders wake up

Risk Management:

  • • Never risks more than 2% per trade
  • • Auto-adjusts position size based on volatility
  • • Locks in profits at predetermined targets
  • • Stops losses before they become catastrophic

FAQ

Q: Is my money safe?

A: Your exchange keys are encrypted and never stored on our servers. You remain in full control. You can disable trading instantly.

Q: What fees do you charge?

A: 15-25% of profits on trades generated by Impetus signals. You only pay if you make money.

Q: Can I lose money?

A: Yes. No trading system is 100% accurate. We aim for 78-90%, which means losses still happen. Always risk only what you can afford to lose.

Q: How does it predict moves before they happen?

A: We analyze sentiment signals that precede price moves by 2-6 hours. When enough independent signals align, probability of price movement becomes predictable.

Q: What if the market crashes?

A: Our stop-losses trigger automatically, protecting your capital. We also shift to safer strategies during extreme volatility.

Q: Can I withdraw my funds anytime?

A: Yes. Your funds stay in your exchange wallet. You can withdraw at any time, no lock-up periods.

Q: How do I know the signals actually work?

A: Full transparency. Every trade is logged with: the signal that triggered it, the reasoning, entry price, exit price, and P&L. Zero hiding.
