Dashboard vs scanner — different jobs
Coinglass is one of the best-known crypto derivatives data sites: open interest, funding, liquidations and heatmaps, aggregated across many exchanges. It is excellent for reading the market as a whole.
CryptoScanX does a different job. Instead of showing you charts of OI, it asks a question of every perpetual at once — “which coins have price up, open interest up 20% and volume twice normal right now?” — and returns the list, or pings your phone when a new coin appears.
| You want to… | Better tool |
|---|---|
| See aggregated OI or liquidation heatmaps across exchanges | A derivatives dashboard such as Coinglass |
| Find coins where OI is rising and a technical setup is triggering | CryptoScanX |
| Get a phone alert when a coin newly matches your OI + price rule | CryptoScanX |
| Scan Delta Exchange India perpetuals | CryptoScanX |
To be clear about limits: CryptoScanX reads open interest per exchange (Binance OI for Binance scans), not an aggregate, and it does not draw liquidation heatmaps.
Open interest scans a dashboard can’t run
New money breakout
The Momentum Breakout preset, kept only when open interest jumped 20%+ in a day.
Squeeze fuel
Shorts crowded and still adding, while price breaks yesterday’s high.
Hollow rally filter
Price up on falling OI — short covering, not new buyers. Useful for avoiding late longs.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a free Coinglass alternative?
For scanning, yes: CryptoScanX’s free plan includes OI Change % as a scan condition on every account. For aggregated dashboards and liquidation heatmaps, a dashboard site remains the better fit.
Does CryptoScanX show liquidation heatmaps?
No. CryptoScanX is a scanner: it turns open interest, funding and price data into conditions and alerts. Liquidation heatmaps are an estimate drawn by dashboard sites.
Is CryptoScanX’s open interest aggregated?
No — it is per exchange. A Binance scan uses Binance open interest, a Delta Exchange scan uses Delta’s. That keeps the number consistent with the market you actually trade.
