The Same Methodology Used by Institutional Desks

Traditional prediction models assume markets behave consistently. They don't. Crypto markets cycle through distinct regimes—trending, consolidating, panicking—each requiring different analytical approaches. Institutional quant teams have known this for decades. Now you do too.

Vega's architecture is regime-first: we classify the current market state, then deploy models specialized for that regime. This is exactly how sophisticated trading operations approach markets—and it's been inaccessible to retail traders until now.

The Vega Process

Four steps that power institutional-grade predictions

1

Data Ingestion

We process real-time and historical data from multiple sources

Data Sources

  • Binance order books (20 levels, sub-second updates)
  • Futures data (funding rates, open interest, liquidations)
  • Macro indicators (DXY, VIX, S&P 500, Treasury yields)
  • Dominance metrics (BTC.D, ETH.D, altcoin market share)
  • Long/short positioning (Bitfinex margin data)

Feature Engineering

310+ Features Per Symbol

Our feature engineering pipeline transforms raw market data into actionable signals. From technical indicators and volume patterns to order flow imbalance and whale tracking—all updated in real-time.

Regime Classification

Our EMA/MACD hybrid classifier analyzes price structure, momentum consistency, and volatility to determine current regime

79.5% Crisis SHORT Accuracy

In Q4 2025, we detected 16 crisis events including the November altcoin correction (10 tokens, avg -21% drawdown). Historic backtests also flag FTX and LUNA collapses.

Five Market Regimes

Bull Impulse
Strong uptrends with momentum
Bear Impulse
Risk-off downtrends
Bull Chop
Upward-biased consolidation
Bear Chop
Downward-biased consolidation
Crisis
High-volatility liquidation events

Advanced Features

  • Hysteresis to prevent flickering
  • Transition risk quantification
  • Position sizing adjustments during unstable periods
  • Real-time regime change detection

Regime-Specific Predictions

We don't use one model for all conditions. We train 25 models per symbol (5 regimes × 5 horizons)

Trending Regimes

LightGBM models for impulse conditions

Emphasizes momentum and volume features

Range-Bound Regimes

Ridge regression for chop conditions

Emphasizes mean reversion indicators

Crisis Conditions

Heuristic models for high volatility

Emphasizes liquidation pressure signals

Ensemble & Risk Adjustment

Predictions from multiple horizons are blended with regime-dependent weights

Final Outputs

  • Predicted return with confidence score
  • Recommended position size via Kelly criterion
  • Maximum position size based on VaR limits
  • Regime context and transition risk
  • Optimized TP/SL per asset class

Adaptive Weighting

During stable regimes, we trust short-term signals more. During transitions, we weight longer horizons higher to avoid whipsaws.

Example: In bull impulse with low transition risk, 24h predictions get 40% weight. In uncertain chop with high transition risk, 30d predictions get 50% weight.

Walk-Forward Optimized

Asset-Class Optimized Exits

TP/SL parameters calibrated to each asset's behavior—not one-size-fits-all

BTC behaves differently than altcoins. Our exit parameters are optimized per sector using walk-forward validation—the same methodology we use for our prediction models. No curve-fitting, no cherry-picking.

BTC
Conservative targets reflecting lower volatility
Large-Cap
Balanced approach for ETH, BNB
Mid-Cap
Wider targets to capture momentum

Volatility Adaptive: Exit parameters automatically adjust based on current market volatility. Low-vol environments use tighter targets; high-vol environments expand to capture larger moves.

Walk-Forward Validation

No cherry-picking, no curve-fitting

All models are validated using walk-forward methodology with expanding windows. We don't cherry-pick good periods—performance metrics reflect what you would have experienced in real-time deployment.

Quality Control: Models that fail to meet thresholds are retrained or deprecated. You always see model vintage and validation statistics.
