## What is CoinTugboat?

Upbit KRW major pairs, auto-scanned in real time. Bitcoin orderbook, charts, on-chain, futures data in one screen.
Cross-check with Bithumb price, BTC dominance, fear & greed, market structure, MACD, RSI — 7-Layer observation.
Tap once and the flow is in your hand. No buy/sell recommendations, only the flow.

※ Independent tool, not affiliated with or endorsed by Upbit. It does not recommend buying or selling and has no trading, ordering, brokerage, or auto-trading functions. All information is for reference only, not investment advice, and the app bears no responsibility for any investment outcome.

[ Three Core Values ]

1. Automatic Scanning
In real time, the engine scans the entire Upbit KRW market.
You don't watch charts, you check the names that the engine flags.

2. Multi-angle Observation
Supply, Trend, Momentum, Market Structure, Derivatives, Regime, Risk -
seven layers viewed simultaneously. No single indicator drives the call.
A signal only fires when 23 indicators agree.

3. Five-Tier Grading
Strong Observation / Observation Candidate / Watch / Inactive / Warning.
You see where each coin currently stands at a glance.

[ 7-Layer Observation System ]

Layer 1. Supply - Volume, fill ratio, order-book pressure
Layer 2. Trend - Moving-average alignment, trendline breaks
Layer 3. Momentum - RSI, MACD, StochRSI across multiple timeframes
Layer 4. Market Structure - key support/resistance zones, trend-shift zones
Layer 5. Derivatives - Funding, OI, long/short ratio, taker pressure
Layer 6. Regime - BTC dominance, Kimchi premium, market state
Layer 7. Risk - Volatility, overheating, liquidation exposure

※ Funding & liquidation are display-only public statistics, not trading features or recommendations.

[ Observation Strategies ]

Early Detection - micro-signals before the move
Day Trading - 5-minute to 1-hour rotation
Swing Trend - multi-day trend following
Volume Surge - coins where capital suddenly concentrates
Pullback Recovery - a name recovering after a pullback within an uptrend
※ Five strategies are selectable: Early Detection, Day Trading, Swing Trend, Volume Surge, and Pullback Recovery.

[ Practical Tools ]

- 23 technical indicators, each with its own diagram and a plain-language reading
- Real-time order book - bid wall, ask wall, spread
- Candle charts - 5m / 15m / 1h / 4h / daily
- Data reliability - cross-checked across 5 exchanges (Upbit, Bithumb, Binance, OKX, Bybit)
- On-chain data - BTC dominance, stablecoin flow
- Analysis modal - see exactly why a grade was assigned

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5.9 — 2026-08-30

Pullback Recovery is now available, and the observation list loads more reliably.
- Pullback Recovery — pick names recovering after a pullback within an uptrend
- Added an "Observing" count to the header so you can see how many names are in view
- Cleaner volume-expansion card
- The list no longer goes blank when one or two names return malformed data
- Free vs. Pro wording refined to match exactly what each tier provides

### 1.5.3 — 2026-08-26

Refined the indicator readout, and fixed cases where the same value was described differently on different screens.
- Unified the naming of the seven observation layers
- When the server verdict and the measured chart disagree, we now hold the verdict instead of asserting one
- Missing values are shown as "cannot determine" rather than silently falling into a bucket
- Privacy: Sign in with Apple no longer requests your name

### 1.5.2 — 2026-08-23

The indicator screen in Observation Detail has been fully redesigned.

· Each indicator now has its own purpose-built diagram instead of sliders and text
· Stochastic RSI draws the actual K/D trajectories; MACD draws the recent histogram from real data
· Ichimoku is shown as a cloud cross-section, Bollinger/Donchian as range sections, Dow Theory as a structure schematic
· Every card leads with a one-line reading; indicators without data are not drawn

Hit Rate Record

· See how each observation criterion actually performed, in Settings
· A hit means beating the market median at the same moment — not simply going up
· Percentages stay hidden until there is enough record

Observation criteria were revised against measured results.

· Pre-Signal — looks for coins holding their price under selling pressure
· Position Watch — checks whether what you hold is at risk right now
· Day Trade and Volume Surge conditions adjusted

Also

· Strategy Lab is now a Pro feature
· When nothing matches, the app tells you how many symbols were scanned
· Improved sign-in and subscription linking reliability

### 1.5.1 — 2026-08-18

Fixed subscriptions appearing locked until you signed in again.

Two token refresh requests could run at the same time and invalidate each other. Refresh now runs once, so your session survives an app restart.

When entitlement cannot be confirmed, the screen now says what to do. If the session expired it takes you straight to sign-in and resumes the restore afterwards.

Also fixed the corners of the Sign in with Apple button.

### 1.5.0 — 2026-08-17

Pro is back. This time Pro only includes what you cannot get for free.

■ New in Pro

· Full analysis
  All 7-Layer evidence and 23 indicators cross-referenced on one screen —
  CVD, derivatives, multi-timeframe, VWAP, EMA and Fibonacci, with the raw reasoning.

· 24-hour status history
  See when an observation strengthened, weakened or was invalidated, in order.
  Not just what is strong now, but how it got there.

· Weakening & invalidation alerts
  Get notified when an existing observation weakens or its invalidation condition is met,
  even when the app is closed.

· 10 alert slots
  Watch more assets at once than the single free slot allows.

■ Still free

Automatic 5-minute scanning of every KRW pair · observation grade and strength ·
state and data quality across 7 layers · invalidation conditions · cautions ·
volume ratio · VWAP deviation · 5-day change · RSI · 1 alert slot

■ Redesigned screens

· The market summary is now a tile layout with much larger numbers.
· The composite score is larger and colored by grade, so ranking reads instantly.
· Above and below VWAP are now color-coded — deliberately different from the
  price-change colors, because "is it expensive right now" is a different question.
· Symbol search is a proper button now.

■ Accessibility

· Every tappable element is at least 44pt.
· Icon-only buttons now have VoiceOver labels.
· Fixed layouts breaking at larger text sizes.
  (Larger Text is supported up to about 1.3× the default size.)

■ Fixes

· The market summary could not read price changes and showed every asset as unchanged.
· Detail screens labeled already-evaluated layers as "no data".
· Push notifications could silently fail due to an environment mismatch.

■ Please note

Full analysis was free in the previous version and is Pro-only from this release.
Observation grade and strength, the state of all 7 layers, invalidation conditions
and cautions remain free.

CoinTugboat does not recommend buying or selling, and has no trading, order
or brokerage functionality.
