Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about signals, data sources, tiers, and what MarktBit is not.
- Is MarktBit financial advice?
- No. Signals are measurements of recent market behavior — momentum and range readings labeled BUY/SELL when they cross fixed thresholds. They are informational data, not recommendations. Position sizing and risk decisions are entirely yours.
- Where does the data come from?
- Crypto signals are computed by the MarktBit DataHub from real trade ticks collected from supported exchanges with a maturity delay. Stock signals use historical daily prices from aggregated feeds. The platform does not emit signals when upstream history is insufficient — it reports "insufficient history" instead.
- What do the hit-rate numbers mean?
- The performance view compares each emitted signal to the latest mature price after a minimum aging window. A "hit" means price moved the signaled way beyond a noise floor. Small samples are flagged as such — a 3-for-3 run is not evidence of edge.
- What is the difference between free and paid tiers?
- Market data endpoints — listings, global stats, Fear & Greed, trending, news, sentiment, whale transactions, derivatives, prediction markets — are open. The premium signals feed requires a paid subscription. Check the pricing page for current tier details.
- Why did a signal disappear or show "pending"?
- Signals younger than the minimum measurement age are reported as pending and are not counted in hit-rate statistics. Signals are never deleted — pending simply means the outcome window has not matured yet.
- Can I use MarktBit data in my own tools?
- A developers page documents the public API surface. Free-tier endpoints are public; premium signal data requires an authenticated paid account.
