# About Flicker

Flicker turns raw market data into a readable answer for crypto, stocks and forex — on the web, on iOS and Android, and through a REST API and an MCP server. The web and the apps are mostly free with no account; the API and the MCP server need a free one.

## Who is behind Flicker

Flicker is an independent project based in Armenia, operated informally while formal entity formation is pending. There is no support desk between you and the people who build it: support mail and the founder's Telegram reach the same place, and press, privacy and partnership requests are answered by us directly.

- Based in: Armenia
- Legal status: Independent project; formal entity formation pending

## How the analysis works

Signals are computed, not curated. Nobody picks an asset to promote — the same pipeline runs for every tracked asset on every supported timeframe, and the number it produces is the number the website, the apps, the API and the MCP server all serve.

1. Read the candles — Price and volume history is pulled from every supported venue and stored per asset and timeframe.
2. Compute the indicators — 16 indicator families — trend, momentum, volatility and volume — are calculated on that series.
3. Derive the zones — Support and resistance levels become buy and sell zones with an entry, a stop loss and targets, each scored on how that level has behaved before.
4. Score the verdict — Six weighted factors are summed into a single buy, hold or sell reading. Trend, Momentum, Fear & Greed, Breakout, Risk, Market cycle.

Every zone Flicker publishes is recorded, then walked forward against real candles every 5 minutes, so it ends with a measured outcome instead of an opinion. That record is what the confidence scores are built on.

None of this is investment advice. It is market analysis, it is sometimes wrong, and it is where your own research starts — not a substitute for it.

## What Flicker can and cannot do

Connecting an exchange is optional. Flicker asks for read-only API keys and never requests withdrawal permission — and the service behind the website and the apps ships no order-placing code at all, so the limit is structural rather than a promise.

**With your keys, it can**
- Read your balances, open positions and trade history
- Read the stop-loss and take-profit orders you already placed on the exchange
- Show all of it in one place and alert you when something moves

**It can never**
- Place, change or cancel an order
- Move, transfer or withdraw funds
- Sell or share your personal information

You can delete your account at any time. Deactivation is immediate; the account-deletion page lists exactly what is removed, what we are required to keep, and for how long.
