Signals Remora monitors in real time:
Remora doesn't just say yes or no. It returns risk scoring, regime classification, volatility levels, event flags, and the full reasoning behind each recommendation — so you always know why you've avoided a bad trade.
View actual API responses with complete risk breakdowns and reasoning.
Remora continuously monitors dozens of real-time market conditions including technical indicators (volatility, momentum, trend strength), external data sources (Fear & Greed Index, news sentiment, liquidations, funding rates), and macro indicators (VIX, DXY). All data is collected and processed in real-time to build a comprehensive market picture.
Each condition is weighted and combined into a composite risk score (0-1), with detailed breakdowns by category. The system classifies market regime (bull, bear, choppy, volatile), identifies event flags (extreme fear, panic, bear market), and generates human-readable reasoning explaining why conditions are safe or risky.
Based on the analysis, Remora returns a clear safe_to_trade boolean, a specific recommendation (entry_ok, no_entry, caution), and complete transparency including the risk score, regime classification, reasoning array, and all underlying indicators. Your strategy receives a simple yes/no signal backed by full context.

How Remora WorksI'm Donald Simpson, a developer and algo trader who built Remora to protect strategies from high-risk market regimes.
While building and backtesting strategies, I kept running into the same problem: even good strategies were getting wrecked by a handful of terrible trades during fast, messy market conditions. A single bad entry could wipe out the gains from ten solid ones.
Eventually I realised the strategies themselves weren't the issue - the bots had zero real-time market awareness. They were trading blindly into conditions no (sane) human would touch.
So I started building a layer that gives trading bots the context they were missing, helping them avoid the situations most likely to lead to losses. That became "Remora" - originally intended as a tool to "follow the whales", but it grew into something much broader.
After 6 years of backtesting across 51,941 trades, Remora is now a publicly available microservice used by traders and researchers.
