IC Konsole measures participation momentum (P) — the rate at which institutional activity is growing relative to its own historical average. An asset posting 20x its normal participation is far more significant than one with high absolute volume. The D-P score measures the same across the full day, providing a dual-timeframe view of conviction.

Every asset is measured against Bitcoin in real time. The (R) score shows BTC-relative momentum — positive means outperforming. The (B) score shows the beta of the move versus BTC. Altcoins do not move in isolation. IC Konsole shows you which assets are leading versus simply riding a market-wide move.

Beta is not a risk to be minimized in IC Konsole — it is a feature. When BTC is trending and an asset registers A+, beta amplifies the market tailwind. The healthy range for A+ is 1.5x–3.0x BTC beta. Below 1.5x, institutional actors may not be truly engaged. Above 3.0x, the setup becomes too reactive to BTC reversals.

IC Konsole flags active bank holidays for JP, FR, US, AU, and GB. When major financial centres are offline, participation thins and moves become unreliable. You will always know the quality of conditions you are trading in before you size into a position.

1ST SEEN marks the first time an asset triggered a qualifying signal in the current window. LAST SEEN updates only when a genuine new qualifying event occurs — a new 15-minute candle meeting the threshold, or a tier upgrade. It never advances simply because the 60-second scan re-checks an unchanged row.

The market cap slider filters out assets below your chosen threshold. Use 250M+ for liquid, institutional-grade assets. Lower the threshold for emerging opportunities in smaller caps. Match the filter to your risk profile.

Toggle tiers independently. For a focused, high-conviction view run A+ only. Enable all three for a full discovery sweep. Note that C+ signals require additional confirmation before entry.

Do not ignore this flag. JP, FR, US, AU, and GB holidays all degrade participation quality. IC Konsole flags active holidays automatically. Signals generated during thin conditions carry lower reliability. Size down or stand aside during flagged sessions.

Open IC Konsole at the start of your session. Check which assets are signalling and at which tier. Note 1ST SEEN — assets flagged from a prior session carry sustained institutional interest and are your highest-priority watch candidates.

Sort by (B) or (R) % to identify the strongest BTC-relative movers. The highest-quality combination is: A+ tier + (R) > 0.35 + (B) between 1.5x and 3.0x. This is the ICI sweet spot — institutional accumulation in a market-aligned asset with healthy amplification.

IC Konsole surfaces the asset — the chart confirms the setup. Click Chart on any row to open the asset directly in Institutional Charts. Look for structure confluence: support zones, FVGs, breakout levels. The signal tells you where to look. Price action tells you when to enter.

Always verify the Bank Holiday flag and session quality before sizing in. Low-participation windows produce unreliable moves. Asian session signals carry lower institutional volume than London or New York opens. Check before you size.

IC Konsole long setups carry beta exposure. Size must account for amplified volatility. A+ at 1.5–2.0x beta: standard size. A+ at 2.0–3.0x beta: reduce by 20–30%. B+: standard to reduced. C+: speculative — size small.

IC Konsole tells you where participation is building. It does not tell you when to enter or exit. Always combine the signal with price action analysis, stop placement, and risk management. The best signal in the world is worthless without defined entry, stop, and target parameters.

C+ is an early alert, not a confirmed setup. No BTC sync is required for C+, meaning the asset may be moving on isolated narrative. Wait for tier upgrade or chart structure confluence before entering. C+ is for watching, not market ordering.

An asset can reach A+ participation but show negative (R) and (B). This means participation is elevated but the asset is underperforming Bitcoin — a potential distribution or counter-trend signal. These setups carry significantly higher risk and should not be treated as standard long entries.

Signal quality alone does not determine how you manage a trade. A strong B+ signal on a lower cap asset late in a trend calls for a quick scalp and a defined exit target. The same signal on a high cap asset early in a trend can be held for a significantly larger move. Always read the macro context alongside the signal.
