How it's built

All 11,692 trades from 14:38 to 14:39 UTC on 11 June 2025, Binance BTC-USDT perpetual, from the free raw-trades preview.

  1. Step 1

    Kyle's λ on one minute of trades

    kyle_like_lambda=cov(return, signed size) / var(signed size)=1.90e-6

    Each trade's return is from the trade before it. Signed size is its quantity in BTC, positive for a taker buy and negative for a taker sell.

    Loading 11,692 trades…
  2. Step 2

    In basis points per $1M

    bps per $1M=1.90e-6 × 1,000,000 ÷ $109,927.0 × 10,000=0.173 bps

    $1M at the close is that many BTC. OKX is left out because its λ is per contract, not per coin.

  3. Step 3

    From 24 hours to one value

    A contract's index is the median of its λ in bps per $1M, each bar converted at its own close over the last 24 hours of 5-minute bars. The chart at the top of this page plots those bars.

    The API serves kyle_like_lambda at every interval from 1 minute to 1 day.

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.
