Hello Product Hunt,

Sentinel Aleph: from a personal project to an open system

Sentinel Aleph wasn't originally built as a product.

It started as something I was building for myself.

For the past 2–3 years, I've been developing it in Switzerland as a personal market research and trading system: something I could use to scan markets, test ideas, track setups and understand what was actually happening, instead of relying on someone else's performance claims.

I kept building.

Then rebuilding.

And, more importantly, I kept finding things that were wrong.

At one point, for example, a deduplication step in our ledger was silently dropping real trades, and it happened to keep the losing ones. Other times a headline figure was counted over the wrong scope and looked better than the book. We found them, fixed them, and decided that these kinds of things should never be able to disappear silently.

That philosophy eventually became part of Sentinel Aleph itself:

make the data traceable, make the decisions explainable, and keep the history visible.

What started as a personal tool has now grown into an open system with several layers.

For people

• Market Scanner: 570+ spot and futures markets, using 4h structure

• Signals, published with their actual outcomes

• Public ledger: wins, losses and break-evens, settled against real Binance candles and net of fees

• Veto records: when our own checks reject a setup, the decision and the reason are recorded

• BTC chart reads

• Daily news digest

• AI Advisor: answers from Sentinel Aleph's own data, and says when it doesn't know

For developers

We didn't want Sentinel Aleph to be a closed box, so we're building the infrastructure around it as well:

• Developer handbook: build your own bots on Sentinel Aleph data

• API: access the system programmatically

• Webhooks: connect signals to your own infrastructure

• MCP server: let AI agents work with Sentinel Aleph directly

• Bot-friendly public endpoints, so the same published data can be reproduced independently

We've also opened another piece of the system: Aleph Edge, an open-source desktop trading bot, now on GitHub.

The goal isn't to tell people how they should trade. The goal is to make the infrastructure accessible enough that you can build your own way of using it.

Sentinel Aleph is now entering open beta through Ribqa.

I'm opening something I originally built for myself, because I eventually realized it could be useful to other people too.

It's not presented as a finished system.

It's not a promise of perfect signals.

And it's not built around hiding the ugly parts.

The wins are there.

The losses are there.

The break-evens are there.

The rejected setups are there.

And when we get something wrong, that's part of the history too.

If you're interested in trying Sentinel Aleph, I'd genuinely like your feedback, especially from developers and builders:

What would you want to build on top of Sentinel Aleph?

Beta test results: public ledger

September 2026 (from 13 Sep, all 654 signals settled)

• Target / stop: 231 / 122

• Target share, matured 96 h: 65.4% (n=353)

• Break-even: 93 · Expired after entry: 14 · Not filled: 2

• Counting veto closes as trades: −153.43 points over 652, −0.235% per trade

October 2026 (1–12 Oct, still running, 81 of 430 signals open; short signals paused since 8 Oct)

• Target / stop: 166 / 50

• Target share, matured 96 h: 70.1% (n=164)

• Break-even: 47 · Expired after entry: 12 · Not filled: 0

• Closed early by BTC veto: 74 (−102.02% after fees, reported separately)

• Entered positions without veto: 275 (93 short)

• Net after fees, without veto: +261.01 points, +0.949% per trade

• Counting veto closes as trades: +158.99 points over 349, +0.456% per trade

Publication was paused from 25 Aug to 12 Sep. October figures change until every signal settles. Sums are percentage points across trades, not an account return. Costs: spot 0.20% per trade; futures 0.10% plus 0.02% funding. Figures as of 12 Oct, 06:41 UTC.

A veto close is the system stepping aside after BTC turns, so we report it on its own line. Counted as trades, those closes turn July, August and September negative; October is positive so far, with 81 signals still open. That is why our site says no edge after costs is established: one good partial month is not proof.

Aleph Edge
The beta of Aleph Edge, which will process signals from Sentinel Aleph and perform automatic buying/selling, is being released as open source. For Sentinel Aleph users who want to build their own personal auto-trading bots, we have prepared a guide documenting all the technical information they need.

Aleph Edge does not run in the cloud. It was built with modern Rust/Tauri v2 technology, runs on your own personal computer, and your data is not sent anywhere other than to you and your own exchange. We have also added VAULT support to speed up your transactions across multiple exchanges. A mobile application will be prepared shortly, and by scanning a QR code from your phone, you will be able to connect your phone to Aleph Edge and control it throughout the day. We recently published it on GitHub under the "PolyForm Perimeter License 1.0.1" license. In short, you can modify this program however you want for your own personal use, but you cannot sell it for commercial purposes.

Different bot creation features:
DCA
GRID
SMART
Signal Bots
Pump
Futures
Spot

If you don't know what a DCA BOT or GRID bot is, don't worry — you will find the necessary information in the GUIDE section.
And if you say you didn't understand a thing, that's fine too. We've prepared 12 ready-made DCA and Grid templates, each tested on two years of market data, with its results shown next to it. Use them as they are or change them.
