ForeDex Guide
Everything you need to get the most out of ForeDex
From your first chart to advanced whale tracking and risk monitoring—this guide walks you through every part of the platform so you can trade and analyze with confidence.
Welcome to ForeDex
ForeDex is a next-generation intelligence platform that brings together on-chain data, market metrics, and risk analysis in one place. Whether you're building a thesis around Bitcoin supply dynamics, watching stablecoin flows, or tracking whale movements, the tools here are designed to give you an edge without the noise.
This documentation is written like a long-form guide: we'll introduce each area of the product, explain why it matters, and show you how to use it in practice. You can read top-to-bottom or jump to the section you care about using the table of contents above.
New to ForeDex?
Start with Charts to explore data, then try Tracker and Risk Intelligence once you're comfortable. Your favorites and recent charts are always one click away from the dashboard.
Charts
The Charts dashboard is the heart of ForeDex. It's where you spend most of your time: building views, comparing metrics, and turning raw data into decisions. The left sidebar is your map—every category expands into a list of charts, and each chart is a full-screen view with time ranges, overlays, and (where applicable) export options.
What you'll find
We organize charts into clear categories so you can go from high-level overviews to very specific metrics without getting lost.
- On-chain data — Supply in profit/loss (BTC, LTH/STH), realized price, SOPR, NUPL, NRPL, dormancy (MSoL, ASoL), active and new addresses, and addresses by balance. These are the building blocks for understanding holder behavior and cost basis.
- Exchange data — BTC and stablecoin exchange reserves, exchange flow (inflow, outflow, netflow), whale flow, and whale transactions. Essential for spotting accumulation or distribution before it shows up in price.
- Market data — Open interest, funding rates, margin borrow rates, spot/perp gaps, basis, long/short ratios, and exchange volume. Plus spot and futures taker buy/sell volume and CVD so you can see who is actually moving the market.
- Market maker flow — Inflow, outflow, and netflow for market maker entities. Helps distinguish smart money from retail.
- Institutional — Treasury holdings, MSTR Bitcoin flow and holdings, custody flow (in/out/net and transactions), and Coinbase Prime OTC. Built for macro and institutional narrative tracking.
- Mining — Miner reserve, mining market cap, BMCM ratio, average and individual mining cost, and miner outflow. Critical for understanding miner selling pressure and cost floors.
- ETF — Spot Bitcoin ETF dashboard, netflow (total and by issuer), cumulative flow (total, by year, by fund), and institutional holdings. Updated to reflect the current ETF landscape.
- Sentiment — Crypto Fear & Greed Index, Naver trend, Kimchi premium, Korea Ethereum volume ratio, and Korea leverage flow. Regional and sentiment signals in one place.
- Cycle — MVRV, Bitcoin halving and price action post-halving, Puell multiple, Pi Cycle, Rainbow chart, 200-week MA, golden ratio multiplier, Mayer multiple, AHR999, stock-to-flow, RHODL, and NRPL regime. The classic cycle and valuation toolkit.
- Economic — Global policy rates, equity indices (US and others), rates (US and others), commodities (WTI, Brent, gold, copper, natural gas), economic indicators and calendar, prediction markets, liquidity conditions, and M2 (global, US, Europe, Japan, China). Connects crypto to macro.
Advanced Chart, Library, and Templates
Beyond the preset charts, you get a full Advanced Chart experience: multi-timeframe, drawing tools, and the ability to save layouts. Use Chart Library to browse and clone community or official setups, and My Templates to keep your own go-to configurations. The dashboard also supports favorites—star the charts you use daily so they appear at the top.
Pro tip
Combine on-chain (e.g. supply in loss) with exchange flow and funding rate. When supply in loss is high, exchange inflow is rising, and funding is negative, you often get a better read on capitulation and potential reversals than from price alone.
Tracker
Tracker is built for one thing: keeping an eye on large movements. Whales, exchanges, treasuries, and market makers move the market; Tracker surfaces those moves as they happen so you can react or at least understand why price is doing what it's doing.
Whale Tracker
The main view is a live feed of large transfers. You can filter by chain (e.g. Bitcoin, Ethereum), set a minimum value in USD to cut out noise, and scroll through recent activity. Each row shows asset, amount, value, source, and destination—so you can see flows from exchanges to cold storage, or from whales to CEXs. Export to PNG or Excel for reports or screenshots.
Why it matters
Big inflows to exchanges often precede selling pressure; big outflows suggest accumulation. Stablecoin mints and redemptions tell you about liquidity coming in or leaving the system. Tracker doesn't replace your own thesis, but it gives you the raw feed to validate or question it.
Best practice
On high-volatility days, open Tracker in a separate tab and leave it running. Glance at it when you see a sharp move—often you'll find a matching whale transfer or exchange flow that explains the move.
Risk Intelligence (Stablecoin)
Risk Intelligence is ForeDex's stablecoin and risk hub. It answers three questions: Are stablecoins healthy? Where is risk concentrated? And what does the regulatory and AML landscape look like? If you trade stablecoins, use them as a quote currency, or care about systemic risk, this section is for you.
Overview and ratings
The overview gives you a single screen: market cap and flow for major stablecoins (USDT, USDC, DAI, and others), plus ratings at a glance. You can add symbols to favorites and jump into detail pages for any asset. Ratings are based on transparent criteria—reserves, governance, and usage—so you can see why one stablecoin scores higher than another.
Depegging and AML
The Depegging dashboard is built for real-time depeg detection. When a stablecoin drifts from its peg, you see it here first. The Scam / AML detector helps you screen transactions and addresses for known risk categories (e.g. sanctions, mixers, exploits). Use it to avoid touching hot funds or to understand the risk profile of large flows you see in Tracker.
Reserves, flow, and regulation
Reserve and flow charts show where stablecoins sit (exchange vs. elsewhere) and how they move. Active address and transfer metrics add context on usage. The Country regulatory section gives policy and regulatory evaluations by jurisdiction—useful for understanding which regions are friendly or tightening the screws.
Use case
Before going heavy into a new stablecoin, check its rating and the depeg history. Combine that with exchange reserve trends—if reserves are dropping fast while supply grows, that can signal redemptions or shifting demand.
Community
ForeDex isn't just charts and data—it's a place to share ideas and learn from others. The Community section is a feed of posts from analysts and traders: chart takeaways, macro views, and on-chain narratives. You can filter by verified authors, search by keyword, and browse a separate Chart Feed for shared chart setups.
Feed and Chart Feed
The main feed shows posts that mention or tag ForeDex (e.g. with #foredex on X). You can switch between "Verified" (curated authors) and "All" to control signal-to-noise. Chart Feed is dedicated to charts: users share layouts and ideas so you can clone and adapt them.
Ranking and verification
The Ranking leaderboard highlights the most active and influential contributors. Getting verified as an author gives you a badge and more visibility—apply from the Community area. Quality insights can be featured and may earn rewards, so the more you contribute, the more you get out of the community.
Profile
Your Profile is your identity and control center. Here you manage your public bio, location, and website, and you see how you're connected (e.g. Google, Twitter). It's also where you create and manage API keys, check notifications, and view your activity and badges.
API keys
If you use the ForeDex API for scripts, dashboards, or algo ideas, you'll create keys here. Keys are scoped by plan (read-only vs. full access). Never share or commit keys; use environment variables or a secrets manager. Rotate keys periodically and revoke any that might have been exposed.
Activity and badges
Your activity log shows your posts, contributions, and engagement. Badges reflect milestones and roles (e.g. verified author). Level and progress give you a simple way to see your standing; verified authors get higher visibility in Community and more trust from readers.
Research & Insights
The Research section is where we publish longer-form analysis: thematic reports, macro views, and deep dives into specific metrics or events. Content here is updated as we add new studies and insights. Check the app for the latest; we plan to expand with more reports and data-driven narratives over time.
Settings
Settings is your central place for account and app preferences. You can manage language, notification preferences, and display options where available. The Billing subsection handles payment methods, invoice history, and subscription management—upgrade, downgrade, or cancel from here.
Subscription
ForeDex offers tiered plans—typically Explorer, Insight, and Professional—each unlocking more charts, higher API limits, and extra features (e.g. Tracker alerts, priority support). Monthly and annual billing are available; annual plans usually come with a discount.
You choose a plan from the Plans page, complete payment, and are redirected to a success screen. Access updates immediately. Later, you can change plan or payment method from Settings → Billing, or use the upgrade prompts on the dashboard when you hit a limit.
Developer API
For programmatic access to market and on-chain data, use the ForeDex API. Authentication, endpoints, rate limits, and response formats are documented on the API reference page. Build dashboards, backtest strategies, or pipe data into your own tools—all from one reference.
