Catching tokens as they start to move
Some of the biggest gains in crypto happen in the first days a token starts trending. Poseidon's momentum engine watches the market around the clock, spots those moves early, and rides them, with the discipline to get out before they fade.
Four steps, running 24/7
You don't watch charts or place a single order. Poseidon does the whole loop for you, and shows you what it found and why.
Scan
Poseidon continuously screens a universe of liquid tokens, looking for ones just beginning to trend upward on real strength, not random spikes.
Grade
Every candidate is scored 0–100 by Poseidon's grading engine on trend strength, market conditions, and conviction. Only the strong ones qualify.
Ride
When a token passes the bar, Poseidon takes a measured position and stays with the move while momentum keeps building.
Exit
The moment momentum fades or the market turns, Poseidon steps out, protecting gains instead of round-tripping them.
Momentum, with a brain and a seatbelt
Plenty of tools chase pumps. Poseidon's momentum strategy is graded, regime-aware, explainable, and risk-managed, the parts that separate riding a trend from gambling on one.
It's graded, not guessed
The same 0–100 engine that powers Poseidon filters candidates. Weak, late, or low-conviction moves never get traded.
It reads the whole market
Momentum only gets deployed when conditions favor it. In hostile regimes Poseidon pulls back instead of forcing trades.
It tells you why
Every entry comes with a plain-language reason in your history and daily "Poseidon's Read." No black box.
It manages risk first
Position sizes are measured, exposure is capped, and exits are fast when a move reverses. Preservation before profit.
How it works under the hood for the curious▸
The momentum engine looks for the signature of a real emerging trend, not a one-candle spike. A token becomes a candidate when several things line up at once:
- Rising trend strength: a strengthening directional trend (measured with indicators like ADX) rather than choppy noise.
- Price breaking above its moving-average stack: short-term averages climbing above longer-term ones, confirming the move has structure.
- Relative strength: the token is outperforming the broader market, so you're in a leader, not a laggard.
- Confirmation on volume: the move is backed by real participation, which helps filter out thin, fake breakouts.
Each candidate is then scored by Poseidon's grading engine (0–100). Only signals that clear the current threshold, which itself adapts to the market regime and macro conditions, are acted on. Entries are position-sized to the strategy and the account, and Poseidon holds while the trend stays intact.
Exits trigger when momentum decays: trend strength rolls over, price loses its moving-average support, the token stops leading the market, or the overall regime flips risk-off. A short cooldown prevents Poseidon from flip-flopping in and out on noise.
This is the same architecture as Poseidon's core: a regime classifier, then the grading "brain," then disciplined execution. It is simply pointed at a different job, finding fresh movers instead of holding a steady allocation.
You only pay a small share of what we manage
No hidden spreads, no cut of your profits, no surprises. Poseidon charges a small base fee plus a fraction of a percent per year on the assets it manages for you, and you can see the running total any time.
# What you pay each month Monthly fee = your plan's base + ( Average daily balance × 0.75% ÷ 12 )
Every plan pays the same fair 0.75% per year on the assets Poseidon manages (billed monthly, so just 0.0625% each month). The base fee is what changes between plans, reflecting how many strategies you run and the support you get. Here is what each plan costs on a $25,000 portfolio:
The larger your account, the smaller that 0.75% feels and the more the base fee fades into the background. Figures shown for a $25,000 average balance.
How the fee is measured the fine print, in plain english▸
- "Managed balance" means the value of the assets Poseidon actively manages for you, the strategy holdings plus their stablecoin buffer. Anything on your exchange that Poseidon doesn't touch isn't counted.
- "Average daily balance" means we take one snapshot of that value per day and average it across the month. We use the average, not a single day, so a volatile day never spikes your fee, and nothing about timing can be gamed.
- Fair if you leave mid-month. Because it's a daily average, you only ever pay for the days your assets were actually being managed. Join or cancel partway through and the fee is prorated automatically.
- The base fee keeps the lights on for smaller accounts where a fraction of a percent is only a few dollars. It is what lets Poseidon manage small portfolios well instead of ignoring them.
Put simply: on the Starter plan, a $25K account pays about $36 a month (about 1.7% a year) for a system that reads the market, hunts momentum, rebalances by regime, and explains every move. As your account grows, that percentage falls.
