Vi IQ

One number, 0 to 100, on every subject the terminal shows. This is what it measures, how to read it, and what it does not claim.

What the number isA read on conditions, taken now

Vi IQ is the desk’s own read on how favourable a subject’s conditions are at the moment it is asked — how much real size is behind the price, how it is moving, what the flow around it looks like, and how much of that the desk can actually see. It is recomputed as those inputs change, so a score is a reading rather than a verdict.

It is the same scale everywhere. A 72 on a crypto pair and a 72 on a topic room mean the same thing about how the desk rates each one against its own normal — which is why the mark looks identical on every surface.

The bandsWhat a score is telling you
  • 88HighEvery input the desk can see is pointing the same way at once. Rare.
  • 72Above normalThe conditions are better than this subject's own normal.
  • 52TypicalMixed, or too thin to lean on. Most subjects sit here most of the time.
  • 32Below normalSomething the desk measures is working against the subject.
  • 12LowConditions are poor on more than one input at once.
What it reads on each surfaceSame scale, different instruments
  • A prediction market. Six things, shown as six bars beside the score: the money traded in the last day (Activity), the liquidity a position can use (Depth), how far the price has moved (Repricing), how tight the book is (Spread), how undecided the outcome still is (Open), and how near the deciding date is (Catalyst). What the wallets the desk rates are doing in it counts too. A contract that sits near 50% by design — a point spread, a total, a five-minute up-or-down — earns nothing for being at 50%, and a market within two hours of closing scores lower, because there is no time left to act on a read.
  • A crypto pair. Venue spread and depth across the exchanges the desk reads, the size and direction of whale prints, the arbitrage routes open between venues, realised volatility, and the sentiment of the headlines it has collected.
  • A topic room. The markets linked into the room, the volume moving through them, the signals that fired inside it, and how fresh the room's own sources and captured trades are.
  • A trader's recent flow. Recency, size and count of their accepted fills, and how many separate markets they were active in — a read on activity, not on skill.

The weights each input carries are not published. The score is the product; the recipe is not.

Published scores and terminal readsTwo states, labelled
  • • A published score was computed server-side and stored, and carries its own coverage and confidence — how much of the input set was available, and how settled the reading was.
  • • A terminal read is the same calculation run on what the open page can see. It says so wherever it is shown, and it is never presented as the published number.
What it does not claimThe limits, stated
  • • It is not a forecast of how a market resolves. It reads conditions, not outcomes.
  • • It is not advice, and it is not a recommendation to take a position.
  • • It is not a track record. Where Vultax publishes how a score performed, it does so on its own page with the window and the method attached.
  • • A subject the desk holds little data on scores toward the middle rather than confidently. A neutral read can mean “mixed” or “not enough to say”, and the coverage figure is what separates them.
