IMI, Intelligent Multipoint Indicator

A multi-factor composite indicator that synthesizes market data into a single signal with confidence scoring.

IMI is currently in development and not yet available.

What It'll Do

Most indicators are single-factor — RSI, MACD, volume. One signal, one perspective. They contradict each other constantly.

IMI will synthesize multiple data points across price, volume, volatility, and market structure into one unified signal with a confidence score. Instead of checking ten indicators separately and getting conflicting reads, IMI will produce a single directional signal with a clear confidence level.

The output will include direction (bullish or bearish), strength, confidence (how much data agrees), expected timeframe, and which factors are driving the signal. Higher confidence means more data points are aligned — lower confidence flags conflicting signals.

IMI will also function as a market discovery engine, continuously scanning all available markets across your connected exchanges and surfacing the ones that match your trading criteria.

The Problem: Too Many Markets, Not Enough Eyes

Crypto markets are expanding faster than any trader can keep up with. CEXs like Binance, Bybit, and OKX list new perpetual pairs every week. DEXs like Hyperliquid, dYdX, and Drift are growing even faster, Hyperliquid alone has hundreds of perp markets, and that number climbs constantly.

This creates a real problem. Opportunities are everywhere, but no one can manually scan hundreds of pairs across dozens of venues to find the ones that match their trading style. A momentum trader might miss a breakout on a mid-cap pair they've never heard of. A mean-reversion trader might not notice a range-bound setup on a newly listed asset. The markets that fit your edge are out there, you just can't find them fast enough.

Traditional tools don't solve this. Screeners filter by basic metrics like volume or price change, but they don't understand your setup. They can't tell you "this new SOL-perp pair on Hyperliquid has the exact regime and signal profile you trade best in."

IMI solves both problems at once: it synthesizes multi-factor signals into high-conviction reads and it dashboards the entire market landscape against your personal trading criteria, turning market expansion from a problem into a constant stream of discovery.

Visualization & Dashboard

IMI displays as a multi-layer dashboard:

Top layer: Composite signal (bullish/bearish bar) Middle layers: Individual data point contributions (trend, volume, volatility, etc.) Bottom: Historical accuracy in current regime

Example: "In expansion regime, this IMI setup has been right 73% of the time over 30 days."

Market Discovery: Finding Your Next Trade

This is where IMI becomes more than an indicator, it becomes a market discovery engine.

You define your trading criteria once: the regimes you prefer, the signal thresholds you trade, the volatility ranges you're comfortable with, the minimum liquidity you need. IMI then continuously scans every available market across your connected exchanges and surfaces the ones that match.

How Traders Use IMI

Manual: Watch IMI for high-confidence signals. When Strength > 0.7 and Confidence > 0.8, it's a high-quality setup. Trade it.

With Agents:

  • Riven references IMI when building strategies ("Enter long when IMI > +0.6 with confidence > 0.85")
  • Luma uses IMI as a primary data source for signal aggregation
  • Mentor explains trades using IMI ("We entered because trend, volume, and momentum aligned at +0.72 confidence")

Advanced: IMI for Risk Management

IMI isn't just for entries. Use it for risk decisions:

  • High confidence + bullish → Larger position, wider stops
  • Low confidence → Smaller position, tighter stops
  • Conflicted signal → Reduce or avoid trade entirely

Example: Brix uses IMI confidence to scale Koda's position sizes. High-confidence signals = normal sizing. Low-confidence = 50% sizing.

Agent Integration

Luma (Signal Aggregator) uses IMI as foundational layer:

  • Takes IMI + cross-venue funding data + OI shifts
  • Aggregates into unified market signal

Riven (Strategy Architect) references IMI:

  • "Go long only if IMI confidence > 0.8"
  • Ensures only high-conviction setups execute

Mentor (Education) explains trades via IMI:

  • "We entered because all four IMI layers (trend, volume, volatility, structure) aligned at 0.82 confidence"
  • Helps traders understand why agents made decisions

IMI confidence scoring is key. A bullish signal with 0.5 confidence is a guess. A bullish signal with 0.88 confidence is consensus. Use confidence to determine position sizing.

IMI learns from your feedback. If you manually override an IMI signal and profit, tell PerpDesk. Lucid incorporates your outcome into regime-specific weighting for future signals.
