# The Kingfisher

Modelled liquidation maps, GEX+ and toxic order flow for perpetuals, with API and MCP.

**Best for:** Leveraged perpetuals traders who want modelled liquidation zones and options dealer exposure on one screen, or queried by an agent; not for anyone who needs the model's inputs published.

## What it is

A screen for where leveraged positions in perpetual futures would be forced out, and for the
options and order-flow pressure around them. The product is four views of one question: LiqMap,
a modelled estimate of liquidation pressure by price; the Liquidation Heatmap, the same estimate
plotted against time; GEX+, options dealer gamma and vanna exposure; and Toxic Order Flow, the
vendor's measure of aggressive market orders. An aggregated order book and a multi-panel workspace
hold them side by side.

It is bought by somebody already holding or about to hold a leveraged position who wants to see the
crowd's liquidation levels around it — and, with Pro, by somebody scanning many coins at once for
where those levels have piled up.

There is a third thing on the paid plans, and it is a different kind of output. **KF-Trade
Signals** is described by the vendor as liquidation-based model outputs classified into direction,
predicted target, time horizon, model Z-score and signal strength, sortable by expiry, Z-score or
expected return. That is a call, not a measurement. Every paid plan lists it on one line with
alerts, "premium chats and bots", and none of the plans is headed by it: Premium is sold as full
access to LiqMap, heatmaps, GEX+ and Toxic Flow. This catalogue judged the product by its
screener; the signals are why `ai_features` reads `recommendations` here.

## Pricing

**Month to month the ladder is $0, $79 and $109.** The pricing page opens on the yearly toggle and
prints $65 and $90 a month in the large type; those are $780 and $1,080 paid a year ahead. The
monthly figures appear only when the switch is flipped.

What separates the two paid plans is narrow. Both get LiqMap, the heatmaps, GEX+, Toxic Order Flow,
the aggregated order book, alerts and the signals; Pro adds the Aggregated LiqMap and the Multi Coin
LiqMap — the cross-venue and cross-coin views — plus a larger API-credit allowance and what the page
calls a higher service level.

The **Genesis Pass** is $5,000 once for lifetime Pro access while bitcoin trades under $100k and
0.05 BTC after that, with a line asking buyers to contact the vendor for availability and terms.

Three more ways in carry no number on the public page. **Pay as you go** buys credit-funded
sessions of a chosen length, with no aggregated or multi-coin maps. **Business seats** are sold per
seat with a volume discount of up to 25%. **API tiers** are a separate purchase whose credits,
instruments, history and limits "vary by tier".

The free account gets a short-lived public snapshot of the Binance High Leverage map and the
signals twelve hours late.

## Data & coverage

**The maps are a model, and the vendor says so.** Exchanges do not publish where leveraged
positions sit; LiqMap estimates it from price action, volume, open interest and leverage tiers. The
vendor's own description is that the engine's private inputs, weightings and transformations are
not published, and its documentation page calls an estimated area neither a price forecast nor an
exchange liquidation quote.

**Venues.** The homepage lists the feeds it monitors — Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, BitMEX,
Kraken Futures, Coinbase, Gate.io, Deribit, Hyperliquid, dYdX, Uniswap V3, Bitfinex, HTX and MEXC —
and claims 1,500-plus instruments. The pricing FAQ is narrower: BTC, ETH, SOL and over 180
altcoin perpetual pairs across Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, Deribit and others. The free public map
is Binance only, with fifteen named markets in its directory.

**Options data is Deribit's, as far as the vendor says.** Deribit, listed for BTC and ETH options,
is the only options venue the homepage names.

**Refresh.** The homepage says the forward-looking density is refreshed ten times a second.

## Integrations

**An MCP server that returns the product.** A remote server on the vendor's own `mcp` subdomain,
Streamable HTTP with OAuth 2.1 and PKCE and no API key, exposing twenty-one named tools: liquidation
heatmaps and maps, current and historical GEX, GEX+ and Greek flows, charm, toxic order flow, RSI
distribution, open interest and funding, plus three that pass through Binance futures order-book,
trade and market data. On 9 October 2026 the endpoint answered an unauthenticated request with 401,
which is a server waiting for credentials. The vendor also ships fifteen Markdown "skills" that tell
an agent how to read each dataset, one of them named `autonomous_alpha_engine` and described as a
conditional risk matrix: the agent is coached to return a read with a confidence and invalidations.
That is the same line the signals module walks.

**An API.** The documentation describes access to the liquidation maps and GEX+, opened by an
application form, authenticated by logging in with your account credentials to get a bearer token,
and illustrated with a Python connector. The pricing page lists liquidation-map, GEX, time-series
GEX and Toxic Order Flow endpoints and Python and JavaScript paths.

**No exchange keys.** The vendor's FAQ says none are required: the product reads the market, not
your account.

## Limitations

- **The signals module is advice, and the card is flagged for it.** KF-Trade Signals emits a
  direction, a target, a horizon and a strength per market. The vendor's terms say the
  information presented is not financial and cannot be considered as such; the product still
  lets you sort its calls by expected return. Treat that pane as somebody else's opinion and the maps
  as the data.
- **The marketing reads hotter than the documentation.** The homepage calls the liquidation
  estimate "the forecast" and "the alpha"; the vendor's documentation page says an estimated area
  is not a price forecast. The homepage also quotes an internal subscriber survey about trading
  performance and the history page quotes the founders' desk returns from 2018–2020. Neither
  measures this product, and this card repeats neither figure.
- **"Premium chats and bots" are not described.** Every paid plan lists them; no public page read
  for this card — pricing, homepage, history, MCP, the documentation index — says what the chats
  are or what the bots do.
- **The documentation describes an older product.** Its pricing page quotes prices "set in
  Bitcoin" ($75 a month, $765 a year) and uses Premium for something else entirely — access to an
  order-execution engine, KF-OEMS, priced at 1.5% or 3% of the capital it trades. The getting-started
  page still names FTX perpetual pairs. The homepage still mentions the execution engine; the
  current pricing page neither names nor prices it, so this card does not record execution as a
  capability.
- **The model is closed.** Inputs, weightings and transformations are proprietary by the vendor's
  own statement. A level you quote from LiqMap is a level you cannot reproduce.
- **No published terms on the main site.** Its Terms of Service page read "Under Construction" on
  9 October 2026; the terms that exist are on the documentation host.
- **Three of the five ways to pay have no public price** — sessions, business seats and API tiers.

## Alternatives

The other derivatives screens in this category show liquidation heatmaps too, most of them with
more given away free; they differ on venues, how the model is described and what sits behind the
login. [CoinGlass](https://cryptomarkets.tools/tools/coinglass-web) is the free default, with a heatmap limited to BTC and ETH
until you pay $28 a month. [Hyblock Capital](https://cryptomarkets.tools/tools/hyblock-capital) sells liquidation levels inside
a much wider set of order-book and positioning metrics. [CoinAnk](https://cryptomarkets.tools/tools/coinank) is the closest in
shape — a derivatives screener with a first-party MCP server and a prediction module of its own.
For options positioning on its own terms, [Laevitas](https://cryptomarkets.tools/tools/laevitas-platform) is the
options-first screen. The full list is under [crypto charting platforms](https://cryptomarkets.tools/categories/charting-platforms).

## FAQ

### How much does The Kingfisher cost per month?

Premium is $79 and Pro is $109 month to month. The pricing page opens on the yearly toggle, so the big type reads $65 and $90 — those are $780 and $1,080 paid a year ahead. The toggle says save 20%; the arithmetic is closer to 18%. There is also a $5,000 lifetime Genesis Pass, repriced at 0.05 BTC once bitcoin is above $100k.

### Does The Kingfisher sell trading signals?

Yes, as one module. KF-Trade Signals is, in the vendor's words, liquidation-based model outputs classified into direction, target, horizon, model Z-score and signal strength. Premium and Pro get them live and free accounts after a 12-hour delay. This catalogue lists the product for its maps and screens; the signals are the part that tells you what to do, and the card is flagged for them.

### Is The Kingfisher MCP server real, or a documentation server?

It serves the product's data. The remote endpoint uses OAuth 2.1 rather than an API key, the vendor names twenty-one tools for liquidation maps, GEX, Greek flows, toxic order flow and open interest, and on 9 October 2026 it answered an unauthenticated request with 401 while a made-up path on the same host returned 404.

### Is API access included with Premium or Pro?

A credit allowance is. The pricing FAQ says Premium and Pro include an API-credit allowance, while sustained programmatic access uses dedicated API plans — and those plans carry no price on the public pricing page.
