Crypto Screeners: Pump, Dump, Open Interest, Liquidations - how to trade
Crypto screeners are a practical tool with a simple purpose
Crypto screeners are a practical tool with a simple purpose: quickly find market situations where it makes sense to step into the order book instead of staring at charts for hours.
In practice, it's a set of filters by price, volume, Open Interest and liquidations that helps you catch moves and cut down routine manual scanning.
On the Crypto Resources, screeners are tied directly to execution: you see a signal → you open a position right from the browser, without a separate terminal or re-typing order parameters.
What Crypto Screeners Actually Are
A crypto screener is a set of conditions that monitors the market in real time and shows only those coins and futures where something is actually happening:
- sharp price moves (pump/dump);
- spikes or drops in Open Interest;
- clusters of long/short liquidations;
- abnormal volatility and volume.
Instead of endlessly scrolling through tickers and switching timeframes, the trader works with a filtered list tailored to their style: scalping, intraday trading, or trading "on events".
Pump & Dump Screener: Getting Into a Move While It's Still There
The pump & dump screener tracks coins with abnormal changes in price and volume over a short period.
What it gives you:
- highlights assets that have already started moving — sharp rallies (pump) or selloffs (dump);
- removes background noise and leaves instruments with meaningful volatility;
- helps scalpers and intraday traders trade actual moves instead of guessing.
On Crypto-Resources, a pump/dump signal is a potential entry point. A click on the instrument opens the chart with levels, context and recent behaviour of the coin. From the same screen you can place an order with predefined risk parameters.
Open Interest Screener: Where Positions Are Being Built
Open Interest (OI) shows how many futures contracts are currently open. An Open Interest screener helps you see where positions are really being built and where price is just being pushed around.
It tracks:
- Open Interest rising together with price — potential trend continuation or extended impulse;
- Open Interest falling on a price move — positions closing, profit taking and a move running out of fuel;
- divergences between price and Open Interest — areas where contrarian entries may appear.
For the trader this is a trade trigger, not an abstract metric: movement in Open Interest appears → the setup is checked on the chart → entry is made according to a predefined plan.
Liquidations Screener: Finding Extremes
The liquidations screener shows areas where the market is wiping out leveraged traders:
- spikes in long liquidations — buyers being flushed out on a sharp move down;
- spikes in short liquidations — short squeeze and shorts being forced out on an impulse up.
These areas often turn into:
- reversal zones when the move is overheated and excess positions have been cleared;
- or acceleration zones if the redistribution of positions is just starting.
Combined with pump/dump and Open Interest data, the liquidations screener shows not only where the candle moved, but what is happening to positions behind that move.
Why Traders Need Screeners
Crypto screeners solve several practical tasks.
Time saving
Instead of dozens of tabs with exchanges and analytics, you work from a single panel with noise already filtered out. You see only situations that match your conditions.
Discipline and repeatability
The screener looks for the same types of setups: pump, dump, Open Interest spike, liquidations, etc. That makes it easier to follow a strategy instead of trading on impulse.
Less emotional burnout
You set the conditions and notifications. A signal comes in — you go back to the chart, assess the context and make a decision. No need to sit in front of the screen all day waiting for "something to happen".
Crypto-Resources Screeners: How They Work and What's Different
On most services, a screener is just an analytical table. You check the signals, then still have to go to the exchange and type orders by hand.
On Crypto-Resources, screeners are built into the trading flow.
Analysis and execution in one place
The trade starts from the screener: a signal on a pump, Open Interest or liquidations immediately opens the instrument on the chart and trading panel, where you place the order.
Working with your own account via API
Your exchange account is connected via API without withdrawal rights. Funds stay on the exchange; there's no need to move the balance anywhere.
Entry profiles and risk management
For each trade you can define:
- order types;
- leverage and position size;
- stop loss, take profit and, if needed, trailing stop.
These settings are saved as an entry profile so you don't have to re-enter them every time.
Adapted to trading style
Screeners are configured for specific tasks: aggressive trading on pumps and dumps, more conservative entries by Open Interest, or hunting liquidations on futures. These are different presets, not one generic list.
Real-time updates
Filters work online, tied to current quotes and market parameters. You see the live picture, not a delayed snapshot.
Part of a single platform
Screeners are one module of the Crypto Resources platform alongside bots, algorithmic strategies and manual trading. Signals, execution and position management live in the same workspace.
Bottom Line
Pump & dump, Open Interest and liquidations screeners are tools for traders who actively trade crypto and don't want to manually comb through the entire market.
On Crypto Resources, they are part of the trading infrastructure: they help you quickly find situations, evaluate them on the chart and open trades from the same interface.
