How AI Trading Signals Work: RSI, MACD & AI Analysis Explained

Apr 8, 20266 min read

At PulseTraders, every signal is the result of a multi-step analysis process combining technical indicators with AI reasoning. Here's exactly how it works.

Step 1: Live Price Data from Binance

Every signal starts with live OHLCV (Open, High, Low, Close, Volume) data pulled directly from Binance API. We collect candles across three timeframes — 1H, 4H, and 1D — for all 20 crypto pairs.

Step 2: Technical Indicator Calculation

We calculate several technical indicators on the raw price data:

  • RSI (Relative Strength Index) — measures momentum. Below 30 = oversold (potential buy), above 70 = overbought (potential sell).
  • MACD — shows trend direction and momentum. A bullish crossover (MACD crossing above signal line) is a buy signal.
  • Bollinger Bands — price near lower band = potential bounce, near upper band = potential reversal.
  • EMA (20/50) — when short EMA crosses above long EMA, it's bullish.
  • Volume — high volume confirms a move. Low volume means the signal is weaker.

Step 3: AI Signal Generation

The indicators are fed into our AI engine which determines signal direction (BUY/SELL), confidence score (0–100%), and generates human-readable reasoning explaining why the signal was triggered.

Step 4: Dynamic TP/SL Calculation

Take profit and stop loss levels are calculated using ATR (Average True Range) — this adapts the levels to current market volatility. High volatility = wider TP/SL, low volatility = tighter levels.

Step 5: Telegram Delivery

Once a signal passes the confidence threshold (70%+), it's immediately sent to all connected Telegram users on eligible plans. The entire process takes under 5 seconds from data fetch to delivery.
