Get the Aperiodic Impact Index

In the APIimpact.kyle_like_lambda

For every perp we cover, at intervals from 1 minute to 1 day. On Binance and Hyperliquid, λ × 1,000,000 ÷ close × 10,000 gives bps per $1M.

In Pro and up, from $199/month billed yearly.

Method

  1. Kyle’s λ: the price return per unit of signed trade size (impact.kyle_like_lambda).
  2. Converted to bps per $1M of flow at the contract’s close. OKX is left out because its λ is per contract, not per coin.
  3. A contract’s value is the median of its last 24 hours of 5-minute rows. The chart plots those rows.
