Purpose
SigmaGrid exists to provide institutional-grade fundamentals for synthetic-equity perpetual markets.
The problem
Synthetic-equity perps (SPY-PERP, QQQ-PERP, TSLA-PERP, etc.) trade 24/7, cross-venue, and increasingly agent-driven. But unlike listed equities, they typically trade without:
- a stable institutional fair-value anchor
- forward-looking volatility forecasts
- consistent drift estimates
- regime classification (trend vs chop, high-vol vs low-vol)
- explicit event calendars and sensitivities
That absence creates structural issues:
- Cross-venue mispricings persist longer than they should.
- Directional signals are noisy and fragile.
- Liquidation cascades cluster around macro events.
- Funding patterns become unstable.
- Risk controls for agent-driven execution remain weak.
The SigmaGrid approach
SigmaGrid rebuilds the institutional fundamentals layer for synthetic-equity perps and exposes it as a machine-readable JSON API.
- Every supported ticker receives a real-time snapshot of mandatory fields: fair value, volatility forecasts, drift, regime, and macro event context.
- Optional macro sensitivities (
beta_macro,beta_yield,beta_dollar,beta_vol_index) compress complex relationships into a compact, safe-to-expose signal surface. - All fields are designed so execution engines, risk systems, and AI agents can plug them directly into routing, sizing, and hedging logic.
The goal is simple: make 24/7 synthetic-equity markets behave more like properly anchored institutional products, without forcing every desk to rebuild decades of fundamentals research.
