The Altcoin Screener data scans through 300+ of the top market cap coins and measures their price performance against Bitcoin and Solana. Subscribe to stay tuned on the weekly updates. This file contains a sample of Large Caps. For the complete list, become a pro.
4
The reason we use Bitcoin as a benchmark is it's the best performing crypto of all time and the largest in marketcap. Similar to the S&P500 with stocks, Bitcoin is like an index for the crypto market.
5
If an altcoin is not outperforming Bitcoin, then you would just buy Bitcoin.
6
Our screener takes this a step further and also checks price performance against Solana which has been a top performing altcoin for this cycle.
7
I use the "Buy Zone & Outperformance Rank" fields to identify coins of interest by sorting the smaller ranks at the top.
8
I also look at "% Change of Max to Current USD" to find out how much down in price the coin is to see if it's a good buy.
9
I will also reference the "Sharpe Ratio" to see if it has good risk-adjusted returns. We typically want to focus on coins with a ratio over 1.
10
- Typically a Large Cap coin is a good buy if it's down more than 40%
11
- Typically a Mid Cap coin is a good buy if it's down more than 60%
12
- Typically a Small Cap coin is a good buy if it's down more than 80%

Buy Zone & BTC Outperformance Long Term RankThis is a proprietary calculation that factors in a combination of how much the coin is outperforming Bitcoin in the last 180 days and 365 days, and how much the coin is down from its high in the last 365 days, how much the coin is up from its low in the last 365 days. I use this in the newsletter to quickly identify coins of interest.
23
Buy Zone & BTC Outperformance Short Term RankThis is a proprietary calculation that factors in a combination of how much the coin is outperforming Bitcoin in the last 30 days and 90 days, and how much the coin is down from its high in the last 365 days, how much the coin is up from its low in the last 365 days. I use this in the newsletter to quickly identify coins of interest.
24
Buy Zone & SOL Outperformance Long Term RankThis is a proprietary calculation that factors in a combination of how much the coin is outperforming Solana in the last 180 days and 365 days, and how much the coin is down from its high in the last 365 days, how much the coin is up from its low in the last 365 days. I use this in the newsletter to quickly identify coins of interest.

26
Buy Category - % Down in USD from MaxThis references the "% Change of Max to Current USD" column and assigns a category
27
% Change of Max to Current USDMeasures how much a coin is down from its high in the last 365 days
28
% Change of Min to Current USDMeasures how much a coin is up from its low in the last 365 days
29
Buy Category - % Down in BTC from MaxMeasures how much a coin is down from its high in the last 365 days in Bitcoin terms
30
Buy Category - % Down in SOL from MaxMeasures how much a coin is down from its high in the last 365 days in Solana terms
31
% Change vs BTC (Last 30 Days)Measures performance against Bitcoin in the last 30 days. This is factored into the "Buy Zone & BTC Outperformance Short Term Rank" field to determine coins of interest.
32
% Change vs BTC (Last 90 Days)Measures performance against Bitcoin in the last 90 days. This is factored into the "Buy Zone & BTC Outperformance Short Term Rank" field to determine coins of interest.
33
% Change vs BTC (Last 180 Days)Measures performance against Bitcoin in the last 180 days. This is factored into the "Buy Zone & BTC Outperformance Long Term Rank" field to determine coins of interest.
34
% Change vs BTC (Last 365 Days)Measures performance against Bitcoin in the last 365 days. This is factored into the "Buy Zone & BTC Outperformance Long Term Rank" field to determine coins of interest.
35
% Change vs SOL (Last 30 Days)Measures performance against Solana in the last 30 days. This is factored into the "Buy Zone & SOL Outperformance Short Term Rank" field to determine coins of interest.
36
% Change vs SOL (Last 90 Days)Measures performance against Solana in the last 90 days. This is factored into the "Buy Zone & SOL Outperformance Short Term Rank" field to determine coins of interest.
37
% Change vs SOL (Last 180 Days)Measures performance against Solana in the last 180 days. This is factored into the "Buy Zone & SOL Outperformance Long Term Rank" field to determine coins of interest.
38
% Change vs SOL (Last 365 Days)Measures performance against Solana in the last 365 days. This is factored into the "Buy Zone & SOL Outperformance Long Term Rank" field to determine coins of interest.
39
Annualized Returns in USD (Last 365 Days)Measures the annualized returns in USD. If a coin has less than 365 days of price history, we extrapolate the data to produce an annualized view with normalized returns.
40
Sharpe Ratio (Last 365 Days)This is used to evaluate the risk-adjusted return of an investment, helping to understand how much return you’re getting for the risk taken. The higher the ratio, the better the risk-adjusted return. A high ratio (usually above 1) suggests the investment has performed well compared to its risk, meaning it's more efficient at generating returns for the amount of volatility it experiences. A ratio below 1 (and particularly below 0) can indicate the investment has underperformed or produced returns not worth the risk.
41
Sharpe Ratio RankThis applies a rank to the "Sharpe Ratio (Last 365 Days)" field. The higher the Sharpe Ratio, the higher the rank (i.e., closer to 1).
