Signals & Formulas

Custom Signals & Alerts

Build, save, and alert on your own vyx formulas.

Build Your Own

Write a formula from any variable and function in the Formula Reference, then save it. Saved signals can be edited or cloned later, so you can fork a built-in as a starting point and tune it to your universe.

  • Example: takerBuyRatio >= 0.62 && imb >= 25 (aggressive buying into bid-side pressure).
  • Example: abs(fundingBps) >= 3 (stretched funding in either direction).
  • Example: ofi >= highest(ofi, 30) && imb >= 15 (order-flow pushing to a 30-candle extreme).

Describe It In Plain English

When AI assist is enabled, describe the behavior you want — "aggressive selling into a heavy bid book" — and vyx drafts a formula you can review and refine before saving.

Choose How It Paints

Pick a visualization mode independent of the match threshold: diverging for two-sided behavior (bid versus ask), or a high-value / low-value gradient for one-directional metrics. Trigger-style formulas can still render as a continuous metric so rare predicates show useful structure across history.

Alerts

Enable an alert on any signal with a comparator and threshold. When a pair newly crosses that threshold it surfaces as a fresh entry in the Tape, so you can watch the feed instead of staring at every row. Keep alert formulas narrow — broad formulas create alert fatigue fast.
