Hi dracoix!
First of all I want to congratulate you for this successful beta release
Successful is an overstatement, feels like it just walked out of the ER with a gutshot wound. :p
I have played with Moonshot Monitor for a couple of hours now and this is what came to my mind:
- Klicking on File/Edit Ribbons does not show/change anything
Well aware, Options & Help doesn't exist yet either. Think that was the day I went 'oh $#!%' on bittrex desync issue.
- When opening Moonshot Monitor by default the window seems to be slightly too narrow -> market info header window is flickering and messes layout

You have no idea how much that annoys even me, market info header was quickly mashed up in HTML so I could see debug info. Next build will actually use proper UI coding.
- the commandline window in the background could be hidden in future, it is probably visible due to debugging purposes. It also does not close automatically when closing Moonshot Monitor's main window.
There's no good java launcher for Windows without problems and sometimes without packaging 100MB+ of JRE, and double-clicking on a jar is a horrible idea for any java program. I optimized for default jvm inits, but I cringe everytime someone double-clicks on a non-default optimized jar. That window will be staying, for now, and cleaned up into a traditional logger for the UI version and Classic's 1.1 CSV Mode & Visual Mode print out. Moonshot and Moon Alert will be one and the same, the only difference is there will be a UI call for Moonshot safely tucked away.
- the coin overview is blinking like a Christmas tree most of the time, which was quiet overwhelming for me at the beginning. Especially purple signals are quiet confusing to me because it often doesn't show me any (noticeable, extraordinary) strange movement

They are a bit quirky, I tried to emulate Classic the best I could. 1% price difference in past 5 minutes with 80% confidence (hybrid growth/decay percentile) of last 6-candle doesn't seem much, but they are rare. #1 top spot with that firing is a full-fledged pump. If it's in the middle of the list, ya, not really interesting. Pinks/Purple are everywhere on a bear day. They are there mostly to tell me to gtfo my coins for the day and start coding while I wait.
- What do the colored bars on the left side next to the coin name mean? Last volume + direction in 1h bars?
You mean on the right of each coin? Linear-scaled 5-minute volume of the last 6 coins colored to the price% in their instance. Another classic carry-over that I haven't touched since the first alpha.
- And finally: what do you count as a potential "profitable" signal? In classic I see "Buy" and I know this is a signal at current price. In this tool I really could not identify such an "alert" which would draw my attention immediately (maybe because a couple of other coins are blinking as well most of the time).
The Current Fueling & Moonshot will be slowly morphed into that signaling scheme.
(Part of) My system: I look at the market, if it's inactive with 2 or 3 newly active volume bars and hits a 30min BV% of near 1% I buy into it immediately, basically fishing in a barrel. These only occur about 4 to 6 times a day, that means 4 or 6 markets will moonshot usually at least 20% of their value. If it's a dud, I still HODL because people just threw down 1% of its 20-day volume within 30 minutes, I end up paying out a few hours or days later. My biggest gains come from just throwing a sell point at 50% or even 100% more than I paid (I use it's last peak in the past month, but I'll also throw this into the program), and waiting. Micromanagement on a held bag is key, you might only get 10% out of it, sometimes I end up splitting it in half when it hits 10% and use the rest in my normal buy pool. I split $NEO so many times that I made over 2x of the paid value just from re-investing its splits.
(Another part): If a market already moonshot that day, (scrolling left on the candlestick view), as in it spiked and is either in its dip or triangle, which is quite common for Moonshot's listing, I look at Bittrex's top listings (I'll be putting that into the program). If it's currently being bandwagoned there's no hope usually, and it's too late, this is where it's incredibly dangerous and you'll be losing coins more often than gaining. However, if early enough into the moonshot, you can usually get a few gains. I make the majority of small coin gains off this risk, I also get the majority of my losses too, it's better than a coinflip but not by much. I never do this on a bear-day, I got ate alive, and I never do this on a massively negative 24HR% Subtle Price Forecast as it's subject to bigger price drops and more of them. If it's massively positive, I'll definitely HODL just for the giggle risk as I have done with Classic's coin picks.
(Using the Fueling & Moonshot): Wait for it to hit 10 or 15 minutes with over 100 orders, if it's still over 80% I/O% with BvS still in double-digit positive%, go for it. If it's slowly decaying and reaches near 60% or BvS goes negative, get out immediately, the support wall is collapsing, and at 50% the counter will reset due to no support wall left for that timespan. These are the trickle gains, if it last for hours, something has to give as there's more people buying in both numbers and volume. Like with $LSK, everyone was buying in for an all-time-high, and after a short dip it hit it.
EDIT: I almost forgot, this feature is not tied into anything except orders, so use your best judgment and other accompanying features.
I am really looking forward to see your improved Classic Version, I think that version is more suitable for my purposes
In my opinion your products have a huge potential !
To each his own.
Classic will be updated when the backend of moonshot is polished.
Thanks for the constructive criticism.
