Guide
Changes, volumes, trends, levels
The coin list is not just a sorted table. Every column is a live signal derived from market data, calculated by the backend, and updated continuously. This section explains what each column shows, which timeframe setting drives it, and how to read the values as ranking signals rather than standalone entry triggers.
What this section covers
- What P24 shows: the 24-hour price change percentage, calculated from the price 24 hours ago to the current price.
- What V24 shows: the total trading volume over the last 24 hours expressed in the quote currency.
- What delta shows: the percentage distance from the current price to the nearest confirmed support or resistance level on the configured timeframe.
- What avgPriceChange shows: the average absolute price change per candle over a configured number of candles on a selected timeframe, reflecting typical volatility for that instrument.
- What relVolume shows: the ratio of the current period volume to the average volume over a configured lookback period on a selected timeframe — values above 1 mean volume is higher than usual.
- What NATR shows: the Normalized Average True Range, expressed as a percentage of the current price, calculated over a configurable number of candles on a selected timeframe (default 14 candles).
- What correlation shows: the price correlation of a coin with Bitcoin over a selected timeframe — values near 1 mean the coin moves closely with BTC.
- What the levels, trends, and order distance columns show in the list and how they link to the corresponding overlays on the chart.
- Why values in Watchlist.top can differ from exchange UI numbers — the aggregation window, timeframe, and lookback period are configurable and may not match what the exchange shows by default.
Key screens and controls
- Coin list with multiple metric columns visible: P24, V24, NATR, relVolume, delta, and correlation.
- Column header with sort arrows and the controls to show or hide individual columns.
- Chart with level overlay showing the nearest support/resistance that corresponds to the delta value.
- Settings → Chart tab showing timeframe and count fields for avgPriceChange, relVolume, correlation, and trends.
- Settings → Common tab showing NATR timeframe and candle count.
Step-by-step flow
- To sort the list by a metric, click the corresponding column header. Click again to reverse the order. The sort column and direction are saved with the list.
- To enable or disable a column, open the column visibility controls in the list header. Not all columns are shown by default.
- To configure the timeframe for avgPriceChange, relVolume, correlation, or trends, open Settings and go to the Chart tab. Each metric has its own timeframe and lookback count.
- To configure the timeframe and candle count for NATR, open Settings and go to the Common tab. The default is 14 candles.
- To understand why a delta value is high or low for a coin, open its chart. The nearest level line visible on the chart corresponds to the delta distance shown in the list.
- To see where large orders sit relative to the current price, check the order distance column or open the orderbook panel for that coin.
- Use relVolume as a ranking signal: sort by relVolume descending to find coins with unusually high activity compared to their own average.

Operational notes
- All metric columns show values derived from data the backend has already aggregated. The freshness of each value depends on the update cadence for that metric.
- Sorting by a metric is a ranking operation, not a filter. Coins outside the sorted range are still part of the list.
- P24 and V24 use a rolling 24-hour window, not a fixed calendar day, so values change continuously.
- relVolume above 1 means current volume exceeds the configured average. A value of 2.0 means twice the average — but the baseline itself depends on the configured lookback period in settings.
- NATR is expressed as a percentage of the current price, so it can be compared across coins of very different price levels without normalizing manually.
- Correlation close to 1 or -1 is meaningful; correlation near 0 means the coin moves independently of BTC during the measured period.
- The delta column shows the distance to the nearest level on the configured timeframe. If no level exists for that coin, the cell may be empty.
When to use it
- When you see a value in a list column or chart overlay and want to know what it actually means.
- When you need the formula, thresholds, and practical trading interpretation all in one place.
- When you want to compare a value across different markets and need to verify the context matches.
When not to rely on it
- If your problem is about account access, email state, or notification delivery.
- If you only need to find where a control is — the reference section is faster.
Typical interpretation mistakes
- Trusting a metric without checking its time window and update frequency.
- Comparing values across markets without making sure the parameters and context match.
- Expecting values to match the exchange display when the aggregation logic is different.
Algorithms and formulas to understand
- How P24 and V24 are computed from a rolling 24-hour data window rather than a fixed calendar boundary
- How NATR normalizes ATR as a percentage of the current price to make volatility comparable across different price levels
- How relVolume divides the current period volume by the rolling average volume to produce a dimensionless activity ratio
- How delta is measured as the percentage distance from the current price to the nearest level on the configured timeframe
- How correlation is computed between the coin price series and the BTC price series over the selected timeframe window
