IMI — Intelligent Multipoint Indicator

Overview

The Intelligent Multipoint Indicator (IMI) is PerpDesk's proprietary analysis tool. Unlike traditional single-factor indicators (RSI, MACD, etc.), IMI synthesizes multiple data points across different categories into a unified, actionable signal with a confidence score.

How It Works

IMI operates in three stages:

Stage 1: Data Collection

IMI gathers data from multiple categories simultaneously:

• Price-derived metrics — Trend strength, momentum, mean-reversion potential
• Volume-derived metrics — Participation rates, volume profile, accumulation/distribution
• Volatility metrics — ATR, implied vs. realized, volatility regime
• Market structure — Support/resistance levels, order book imbalances, trade flow
• Cross-asset signals — Correlations, relative strength, sector rotation

Stage 2: Signal Processing

Each data point is processed through:

• Normalization — Mapped to a common scale for comparison
• Regime weighting — Weighted based on historical reliability in the current regime
• Freshness scoring — Recent data weighted more heavily than stale data
• Conflict detection — Contradictory signals are flagged and handled

Stage 3: Signal Output

IMI produces a composite output:

• Direction — Bullish, bearish, or neutral (-1 to +1)
• Strength — How strong the signal is (0 to 1)
• Confidence — How much agreement exists across data sources (0 to 1)
• Timeframe — The expected duration of the signal's relevance
• Key drivers — Which data points are most influencing the current signal

Visualization

IMI is displayed as a multi-layer dashboard showing:

• The composite signal with direction and strength
• Individual data point contributions
• Historical signal accuracy for the current regime
• Confidence band showing the range of possible outcomes

Integration with Agents

IMI is a core input for several agents:

• Luma uses IMI as one of its primary signal sources
• Riven references IMI strength and confidence when sizing strategies
• Mentor uses IMI components to explain market conditions to you

Configuration

• Data sources — Enable or disable specific input categories
• Timeframe — Short-term, medium-term, or long-term bias
• Custom weights — Override default weighting for specific data points
• Alert thresholds — Notifications when IMI crosses defined levels
• Display preferences — Choose which layers are visible in the dashboard
