Signals & Formulas

Signal Library

How VYX signals work and what the built-in library covers.

What A Signal Is

A signal is a formula evaluated on every pair, every candle, in your browser. Numeric "views" paint a continuous metric across the whole heatmap. Boolean "scans" mark hit or no-hit and feed the Table and Tape. Selecting a signal repaints the entire heatmap history, not just the newest match.

What The Library Covers

  • Core views: imbalance, taker-flow, spread, and volume.
  • Depth and liquidity: walls, stacked pressure, near-versus-deep structure, thin books, and queue shape.
  • Momentum: sweeps, book flips, MACD of imbalance, and ATR volatility expansion.
  • Trade tape: taker sweeps, whale prints, and CVD absorption.
  • Positioning: funding extremes and open-interest surges.
  • Order-book pressure: order-flow imbalance and microprice lean.
  • Impact and fragility: price-impact spikes (Kyle’s lambda), depth concentration, book slope, Amihud illiquidity, and open interest stacked against exit liquidity — how easily a market moves, not just which way.
  • Volatility: range-based estimators (Parkinson and Garman-Klass) that read the full candle range, not just the close.
  • Statistics and timing: percentile and z-score outliers, lookback breakouts, and freshness.

Practical Rules

  • Start with a simple condition before adding z-scores, percentiles, or lookback.
  • Prefer thresholds that survive several market regimes.
  • Use the Tape for freshness; treat older matches as context, not triggers.
  • Use alerts as prompts for review, not as standalone trading decisions.
