How Nezsig Signals Work
A deep dive into Nezsig's 10-layer verification system that scores every trade before it reaches you.
On this page
Every Nezsig signal passes through a 10-layer scoring system before it is published. Each layer awards or withholds points. Only setups that score 70 or above make it to you — the rest are discarded.
Note
On average, we scan 40–60 potential setups per day and publish only 1–3. The 10-layer filter is aggressive by design — fewer, better signals beat more, weaker ones every time.
Layer 1: Multi-Timeframe Alignment (0–25 pts)
The highest-weighted layer. We check Weekly, Daily, and 4H charts for directional consensus. All three bullish (or all three bearish) = 25 points. Two of three = 15 points. Only one aligns = signal rejected immediately.
Layer 2: EMA Stack Verification
We verify the 9, 21, and 50 EMA positions relative to price. A clean EMA stack (9 above 21 above 50 for longs, reversed for shorts) on the 4H chart adds 15 points. A tangled EMA stack = 0 points and likely rejection.
Layer 3: RSI Validation
RSI on the 4H must be in the 40–65 range for longs, or 35–60 range for shorts. Overbought longs and oversold shorts are not signaled — these have the worst R:R ratios. Valid RSI position = 10 points.
Layer 4: Volume Confirmation
Entry candle volume must exceed the 20-period average. A breakout on low volume is a common retail trap. Volume above average = 10 points. Volume below average on a breakout = signal held until volume confirms or rejected.
Layer 5: Order Book Analysis (0–15 pts)
Real-time order book depth analysis. Significant buy wall near entry (for longs) = 15 points. Balanced book = 8 points. Dominant sell pressure at entry = 0 points and likely rejection. This is the layer most retail traders cannot replicate.
Layer 6: No-Trade Zone Filters
Eight hard safety filters — any single failure rejects the signal regardless of score:
- Major economic event within 2 hours (Fed, CPI, FOMC)
- Exchange maintenance scheduled
- Abnormal funding rates (above 0.1% or below -0.1%)
- Price within 0.5% of all-time high (resistance too strong)
- Open interest drop exceeding 15% in past 4 hours (smart money exiting)
- Weekend low-liquidity conditions on leveraged trades
- Asset delisting rumors or exchange suspension warnings
- Spread exceeding 0.15% (indicates low liquidity)
Layer 7: Recent Momentum Score (0–10 pts)
We measure the strength and consistency of the most recent 5 candles on the 4H chart. Strong directional momentum = 10 points. Mixed signals = 5 points. Choppy/range-bound = 0 points.
Layer 8: Session Bonus (+5 pts)
Signals published during the London/New York overlap (13:00–17:00 UTC) receive a 5-point bonus. This 4-hour window accounts for 40% of daily crypto volume — breakouts here are more reliable than Asian session moves.
Layer 9: Volume Pattern (+5 pts)
Checks for a specific volume pattern — three consecutive candles of increasing volume leading into the signal entry. This "volume buildup" pattern precedes the most explosive moves and adds 5 bonus points.
Layer 10: Final Score
All points are summed. The scoring breaks down as:
- 85–100 pts → S-Tier signal: Use full position size
- 70–84 pts → A-Tier signal: Use standard position size
- 55–69 pts → B-Tier: Held for review, published only with additional confirmation
- Below 55 pts → Rejected: Not published regardless of how good the chart looks
Tip
When you see a signal marked S-Tier, every single layer passed with maximum or near-maximum points. These are the setups worth sizing up (within your risk management rules).

This is exactly what I needed. The 10-layer system makes sense — explains why the signal quality is so consistent.
The No-Trade Zone filters are genius. I've been burned by signals during news events so many times. Good to know there's a filter for that.
Session bonus makes a lot of sense. London/NY overlap is always the most liquid period. Low liquidity breakouts are notorious fakeouts.
