RESEARCH NOTE

A Practical Perpetual Market Scanner Workflow

The purpose of a scanner is not to replace analysis. It is to reduce the number of markets that require analysis.

What matters

A compact workflow is: scan broad market conditions, rank unusual derivatives states, open only the highest-priority charts, confirm broader trend and liquidity, then decide whether the setup deserves further research. This avoids repeatedly switching between hundreds of contracts and several dashboards before you even know what deserves attention.

How Money Radar uses this

Money Radar focuses on the prioritization layer: Funding + short-term OI + 15m structure + Volume + Basis → ranked shortlist.
