Blind Monkeys

A transparent crypto analysis tool. Live at blindmonkeys.org.

Blind Monkeys scans 100 cryptocurrencies using composite scoring (Z-score, momentum, volatility, RSI) and displays live Bybit Futures Combo Bot performance. Our bot P&L is public — every visitor sees the same numbers in real time.

"Don't be a blind monkey."

What it does

Scans — ranks coins by composite score, flags buy candidates
Market data — live prices, 24h/7d/30d change, contango/backwardation, macro indicators (10Y Treasury, Fear & Greed, VIX)
Bot tracking — live P&L from a real Bybit Futures Combo Bot, refreshed every 5 minutes via Google Cloud Storage
Transparency — all visitors see the same live data

What it does NOT do

Doesn't place trades for you
Doesn't hold your funds
Isn't financial advice
Doesn't guarantee profit

Tech stack

Python 3.9 + Flask (web framework)
gunicorn (production server)
Bybit API v5 (bot P&L, mark prices)
CoinGecko (coin metadata, OHLC)
FRED (Treasury yields, VIX)
alternative.me (Fear & Greed)
Google Cloud Run (hosting)
Google Cloud Storage (persistent data)
launchd (macOS cron for the snapshot job)

Architecture

The Bybit API key lives only on the operator's machine — never on the cloud. A local cron job fetches bot data every 5 minutes and pushes it to GCS. Cloud Run reads from GCS on each request.

git clone https://git.sr.ht/~deanpowers/blind-monkeys
cd blind-monkeys
