Scanner

Scan the market

The scanner reads the whole Delta India perpetuals universe (perps, the no-expiry contracts that track spot) and surfaces the coins that fit what you are looking for. This guide covers AI mode, the charts and the live scoreboard, the quick filters and presets, the results table, and how to trade or set alerts straight from a row.

Describe the filter in plain English (AI mode)

The ✦ AI mode bar sits at the top. Type what you want in plain words and it builds the scanner query for you, then shows the matches.

  1. Click into the ✦ AI mode box at the top. Its placeholder reads "e.g. coins with OI building hard, sorted by funding".
  2. Type the thesis in plain words, for example "coins with OI building hard, sorted by funding". OI is open interest, the total money in open contracts. Funding is the small fee longs and shorts pay each other to hold a perp.
  3. Click Compile → , or press Enter.
  4. Read the "↳ matched:" line under the box. It shows in plain English what the query understood, so you can tell if it caught your intent.
AI mode runs on credits, with a free monthly grant during beta. The plain Quick filters and the table below do not cost anything. If the match is off, edit your words and compile again, or just use a quick filter instead.

  3. Read the ↳ matched line (check it caught your intent)

Read the BTC and gold charts

Two price charts sit under the AI bar, labelled BTC / USD on the left and PAXG / USD · gold (a gold-backed coin) on the right. They are drawn from our own Delta candle data, not an outside feed.

  1. Glance at the BTC / USD chart for where the market is leaning right now.
  2. Glance at the PAXG / USD · gold chart next to it for the risk-off side.
  3. Use them as context before you act on a scanner row.

Watch the live scoreboard banner

The banner under the charts is an auto, no-setup readout that tracks the market like a live score. It refreshes on its own about every minute.

  1. Read the At day high and At day low counters on the left. These count how many coins are sitting right at their high or low for the day.
  2. Read the four leader tiles: Recovering (near its day low and bouncing), Falling (near its day high and rolling over), OI 1h (biggest open-interest gain in the last hour), and Volume 1h (most traded in the last hour).
  3. Note the price-position bar on each leader tile. It shows where the last price sits between the day low and the day high.
The scoreboard is read-only until you turn ⚡ Quick trade ON. When it is on, the leader and day-high/low symbols gain a Trade → button right in the banner.

Turn on quick trade and set your lots

The ⚡ Quick trade toggle is a gate. While it reads OFF, the scanner is watch-only. Turn it on to place orders straight from a row or a scoreboard tile. The toggle lives in the scoreboard banner, next to the Live market label.

  1. Find the toggle reading ⚡ Quick trade OFF in the banner and click it. It flips to ⚡ Quick trade ON in place.
  2. Set the Lots field that appears next to the toggle. Lots is your default size, and it prefills each order ticket (you can still change it per trade).
  3. Notice the Trade → buttons now appear on every results row and on the scoreboard tiles.
  4. Click the toggle again any time to go back to watch-only.
Quick trade places real orders. It is blocked in Paper mode (the local sim with no real account). It works in Testnet (Delta's sandbox with fake money) and Live (real money). Watch the trading mode chip before you fire.

Use the one-click quick filters

The Quick filters rail on the left turns the most common scanner intents into one click. Clicking one resets the filter first, so two presets never stack.

  1. Pick a preset such as Top gainers, Top losers, Nearing 24h high, Nearing 24h low, Recovering from low, Falling from high, OI building, Volume building, Positive funding, or Negative funding.
  2. Read the small hint under each label. It says what the preset actually filters and sorts by.
  3. Watch the results table refresh to the matches.
  4. Click a different preset to swap to it. The earlier one is cleared, not added to.
Each preset is a starting point, not a lock. After you click one you can change the timeframe or sort to refine the same set.

Save, recall, delete and reset presets

Once you have a filter you like, you can save it under a name. Saved presets are stored to your account, so they follow you to another device. You can keep up to 12.

  1. Click ✦ Save preset at the bottom of the rail, type a name in the preset name box, and click Save.
  2. Recall a saved preset later by clicking its name chip under Your presets.
  3. Delete a saved preset by clicking the small × on its chip.
  4. Click ↻ Reset filters at any time to clear everything back to the default view.
Names must be unique and are capped at 12 presets. If a save fails part way through a bulk action, the toast tells you how many went through.

Pick a timeframe and read the results table

The timeframe buttons sit above the table on the right. They recompute the percent, volume, and open-interest columns for the window you choose. Each row is one coin.

  1. Pick a window: 15m, 30m, 1h, 4h, 8h, or 24h. The 24h window uses Delta's live fields; the shorter windows use our intraday data.
  2. Read across a row: Symbol, LTP (last traded price), the percent column (headed 24h % or the window you picked, e.g. 1h %), the 24h Range bar, Volume $, OI $ (the dollar total), and Funding %.
  3. Watch the "↻ updating…" pulse next to the Results label. It blinks on every refresh, including the automatic 10-second refresh, not just the first load.
On a shorter timeframe the OI column header changes to OI Δ% and shows the change in open interest as a percent, not the dollar total. Funding % is shown as a true percent.

Sort columns and open a chart popup

Most number columns are sortable, and any ticker opens a full chart.

  1. Click a sortable header: the percent column (24h %), Volume $, OI $, or Funding %.
  2. Click the same header again to flip between high-to-low and low-to-high. The active header turns the signal color and shows a ↑ or ↓ arrow.
  3. Click any ticker name (shown with a dotted underline) to open a chart popup for that coin.
  4. Press Esc, click the × button, or click the dimmed background to close the chart.
Symbol and LTP are not sortable columns. The chart popup header reads "Chart · our Delta data · Esc to close" and is drawn from our own Delta candle data.

Select rows and set bulk price alerts

You can tick several rows and set a price alert on all of them in one go. A price alert just notifies you when the price crosses a level; it does not place a trade.

  1. Tick the checkbox on each row you want, or tick the header checkbox to select every visible row.
  2. In the bar that springs up from the bottom (reading "N symbols selected"), click 🎯 Set alerts.
  3. In the Set N alerts dialog, set the Direction ("Above (mark goes up)" or "Below (mark goes down)") and the Offset % from each coin's current price.
  4. Click the "Set N alerts →" button to create one alert per selected coin, then watch the toast confirm how many were set.
Each alert fires once. The dialog footer reads "each fires once · 50/user cap shared with single-row alerts", so your bulk alerts share that 50 cap with any single-row alerts you already have. Press Esc to clear your selection.

Quick trade a single row

With ⚡ Quick trade ON, every row gets a Trade → button that opens a small order ticket (headed "COIN · market"). The order is placed only when you click Buy or Sell, never on a stray row click.

  1. Click Trade → on the row you want.
  2. Set the Lots (size) and the SL % (stop loss, the percent move from entry that closes the trade to cap a loss).
  3. Click Buy or Sell. The footer note reads "Market order on your connected Delta account." and the stop is attached.
  4. Read the "Order placed" confirmation in the ticket, then click "View positions →" to follow it.
A stop loss is required on every quick-trade order, so the ticket always attaches one. On Testnet keys only about 11 coins are orderable, so coins not on testnet show a "testnet n/a" badge instead of a Trade → button. Paper and Live can trade the full list.

Keyboard shortcuts, hover preview and the row menu

The scanner is built for fast hands. There are keyboard shortcuts, a hover preview, and a right-click menu.

  1. Press j or the down arrow to move the cursor to the next row, and k or the up arrow to move back up.
  2. Press x to tick or untick the row under the cursor, and Enter to open a trade for it.
  3. Press the / key to jump straight to the ✦ AI mode box.
  4. Hover a row for a moment to see a mini preview card (price, 24h vol, OI, Funding, and the 24h H-L distance).
  5. Right-click a row, or long-press it on a phone, for a menu with "Trade →", "Copy symbol", and "Add to selection" (or "Deselect row" if it is already selected).
The shortcuts only act when you are not typing in a box. A soft tick sound on row moves is off by default; turn it on in Settings under Sound.

Check the trading mode chip

Your trading mode decides what a Trade button actually does. The mode chip lives in the app shell, alongside the scanner.

  1. Read the current mode: Paper (a local sim, no real account), Testnet (Delta's sandbox with fake money), or Live (real money on your funded account).
  2. Switch mode from the chip before you quick trade.
  3. Confirm the first move into Live on the one-time risk acknowledgement.
Paper means zero risk and no real order goes out. Testnet uses fake money on a real exchange sandbox. Live uses real money and real fills. Always confirm the chip before you click Buy or Sell.

Scan on a phone

On a small screen the results show as a card list instead of the wide table, so nothing scrolls off-screen.

  1. Read each coin as a card: ticker and price on top, the percent and range bar, then a small grid of Vol, OI (or OI Δ on a shorter timeframe), and Funding.
  2. Tap the ticker to open its chart.
  3. Tap the checkbox to add a card to your selection for bulk alerts.
  4. Tap Trade → on a card to open the order ticket, the same as on desktop.
