ROCKING M
CRYPTO SCREENER

I'm a small-town handyman from Montana who does leather work on the side. I started trading crypto and got frustrated with the tools available. The School of Hard Knocks has taught me:

Rocking M Leather Works

I am Edward, and this is my maker's mark — the Rocking M Leather Works brand. It is the inspiration for the Rocking M Crypto Screener.

From old-school craftsmanship to modern-day technology, the skills you need are the same. Patience is the key; if you take your time and learn the tools, you can build something that lasts the test of time. Just like my maker's mark pictured, it has seen some rough days. It is scratched and showing its age, but it still boldly proclaims I will prevail.

Just like learning leather work, you cannot just read a book and boom — you can do it. All the knowledge you get from reading about charts and candlesticks is a great place to start, but you need to get your hands on the tools and feel the pain of a mistake to fully understand them. Paper trading has its place, just like practicing stamping leather scraps to get a feel for how the tool works. But now it is time to put some skin in the game and test those trading skills. As with everything, small gains and losses teach just as much as one big win, and don't hurt as badly as a big loss.

Yes, the rocker bar in my logo has been inverted from my maker's mark. Even though the skills needed are similar, the inversion shows the growth from low-tech/no-tech to embracing modern technology.

No craftsman can build anything without knowing how to use his tools. Yes, I said knowing how to use his tools, not how much his tools cost. Any competent carpenter can drive a nail with a $20 hammer from a big box store, but the unskilled person will make a mess of the project even if they own a $60 Estwing. The same is true when trading — charts you can draw, moving averages, or candlesticks that show clear gains and losses are great, but if you can't read those charts, they are just noise.

That's where this screener comes in; it is programmable and preloaded with the settings and options I have found helpful to weed out the higher-risk tokens. Is it going to show you just the winners? No, it will not, but it will help stack the odds in your favor. With community input and some good old-fashioned luck, we can all learn to swing the hammer and drive the nail home.

Every search is dictated by the inputs you choose, so it is not going to create a list based on rumors or wishful thinking, but hard numbers that you set in the search parameters. These are just the ones I have found helpful in my education through wins and losses. With community input, they will grow as the community grows.

When you open the screener, you will be given several choices. They all have presets, so you don't have to do anything if you don't want to — just hit Run Scan. That is the box store hammer; it gets the job done, but it is plain and not balanced to fit your desires. Every filter you change balances the hammer to you.

So let's talk about those choices. Currently, you can select what blockchain or chains you want, up to five at one time. The more you select, the longer it takes to run; the limit of five takes around 15 to 20 seconds to scan and fill. Tier One has the current high-volume blockchains (current as of 04/26/2026). Tier Two has some additional high-volume blockchains. At this point, you are probably scratching your head and thinking Cosmos doesn't fit that description. You would be right, but I use it, so it is included for personal flavor. GeckoTerminal has over 90 blockchains; I mostly chose the ones that were active and would not constantly return zero results.

The next section is where this screener shines and really makes the search yours — it balances the hammer in your hand and aligns it with the nail you want to drive home. The minimum liquidity weeds out low-value noise, and the maximum age keeps it aligned to your trading preferences. The minimum 1-hour change lets you decide if you want to search for a fast mover or a slow cooker, and the 24-hour volume lets you nail down that choice.

The results table has a clickable link to GeckoTerminal for that particular token, which accesses the free version so you can do some research. It also has an address copy feature, so if you have a preferred charting tool, you can copy and paste into that.

The optional trade journal will be used to refine the filters and give others a chance to learn what signals to watch for. Neither I nor anyone else involved in this project will ever ask how much you invested; it is none of our business. The research is about what you traded and why — the minimum liquidity was X, the moving average was Y, you had a gut feeling, or you liked the name. The information may also be used to train an ElizaOS agent.

I've spent a lot of time talking about what the screener does; now let's talk about what the community can do to help improve on what I have started. Anonymously contribute your trades and share your filter presets — the ones that worked and those that didn't. Help build something that teaches everyone how to limit losses and maximize gains. Suggest filters or blockchains I may have missed, or anything you see that can be improved. Spread the word about this project so we can grow this community.

You don't need experience — just be honest about what you have learned: what worked, what didn't, and what broke the system. The crypto market is full of box store tools; let's teach each other how to balance those tools to fit our needs.

Let's step away from the workbench for a moment and cover the technical stuff. I like to look at it more like a pattern. In order to make a leather wallet you need a pattern; the same applies to crypto trading. This is the pattern I propose for this project.

Thank you for taking the time to read about the Rocking M Crypto Screener. I look forward to building something that helps instead of creating noise.
