Why V23 Signals Are CIEX-Specific

V23 signals are generated and calibrated for Coinbase International Exchange (CIEX) USDC-settled perpetuals. The asset list (BTC-PERP, ETH-PERP, SOL-PERP, XRP-PERP, DOGE-PERP, TAO-PERP), contract specifications, and funding mechanics are all specific to CIEX. Signals are backtested and forward-tested on CIEX price data โ€” not generic price data from aggregators.

If you trade on another exchange, signal entry zones, targets, and invalidation levels will be close to correct but may vary slightly due to exchange-specific order book depth, funding rates, and tick sizes. The structural logic (entry zone, TP levels derived from market structure, invalidation from structure) remains valid across exchanges โ€” because market structure is the same asset traded by the same global market.

What Translates Across Exchanges

The price levels in V23 signal cards (entry zone, TP1/TP2/TP3, invalidation) are derived from market structure that is exchange-neutral. BTC at $94,500 is the same price on CIEX, Binance, and Bybit โ€” because all exchanges reference the same global spot price. The minor difference between exchanges is typically less than 0.05% โ€” well within the signal's entry zone tolerance.

What does NOT directly translate: leverage tiers (each exchange has different leverage limits), funding rates (vary by exchange and can affect multi-day hold economics), and order types (some exchanges support advanced order types that others don't, which affects how you implement stops).

"Price is universal. Contract specs are local. Use the signal levels anywhere โ€” but understand the specific mechanics of the exchange where you are trading."
