What Glimpse is. And what it is not.

Glimpse is an auditable Bitcoin Market OS and non-custodial execution desk. It reads public crypto market data, explains order flow, liquidation estimates, funding, open interest, and price structure, and can execute through trade-only exchange API keys. Glimpse does not custody funds, does not request withdrawal permission, and does not promise profit.

What Glimpse is

  • Bitcoin market intelligence software.
  • A free public Market OS for reading BTC market structure: liquidation estimates, funding, open interest, order flow, sentiment, and price structure.
  • Optional non-custodial execution software for eligible users, through trade-only exchange API keys.
  • A public-ledger project that publishes closed trade outcomes, wins and losses alike, while open positions stay redacted until close.

What Glimpse is not

  • Not a broker.
  • Not an exchange.
  • Not a custodian.
  • Not a fund.
  • Not a financial advisor.
  • Not a guaranteed-profit system.
  • Not a signal group promising entries.

Where user funds live

User funds stay on the user’s own exchange account at all times. Glimpse connects through trade-only API keys: it can place and close orders and read positions, but withdrawal and transfer permissions are refused. Users can revoke the key from their exchange dashboard at any moment. Details are on the security page.

Supported exchanges

Glimpse currently connects to Bybit and Toobit accounts. Availability depends on your country of residence, selected exchange, KYC/account status, and whether that exchange currently permits futures and API access for your account. If your country is restricted or unclear, we route you to education, paid-plan notifications, or manual review instead of live trading setup. See supported exchanges for the connection paths.

Risk controls

Every trade opens with a hard stop-loss set before entry. Glimpse also auto-halts new trades for the rest of the UTC day if the account falls 5% (the halt resets at midnight UTC, not local time). Risk controls reduce, but do not eliminate, market risk, slippage, exchange risk, or software risk. Read the full risk disclosure.

Public ledger

Closed trade outcomes are published to a public ledger — side, entry, exit, hold time, and outcome, with losses kept visible alongside wins. Open positions are redacted while live. How the ledger is built, including its reset policy and limits, is documented in the ledger methodology. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

Access and pricing status

The Market OS read at /market is free and public — no account required. For execution, Free is available only for eligible linked accounts in supported regions, and flat-price paid plans are listed on pricing as they open.

What data Glimpse reads

The public Market OS is built from public market data: prices, candles, open interest, funding, order book depth, and sentiment indexes. The full list and update cadence is on data sources. The liquidation map is a labeled model estimate, not exchange liquidation orders — see the liquidation map methodology.
