The Scan Problem
A single chart is deep but narrow. A heatmap is shallow but broad. vyx uses the broad view first so the user can notice pressure that is spreading across symbols or time.
What The Grid Makes Obvious
- Which symbols are behaving differently from the group.
- Which pressure changes persist instead of flashing once.
- Whether multiple large pairs shift together.
- Where a detailed chart inspection is worth the time.
From Grid To Decision
The grid is the first pass, not the verdict. Once a cell or a row stands out, the value is in narrowing: open the pair, check whether the pressure persists across intervals, and confirm executed flow agrees before any chart-level decision. The heatmap’s job is to make that shortlist obvious — to decide where attention is worth spending next, across hundreds of markets you could never watch one chart at a time.
