GRAYBOOK LABS

Vig

A math and physics genius, sitting next to you at all times.

Vig is the AI quant built into the Graybook platform. It does the math a quant would do, and it has the language to explain your trading decisions in terms that make sense.

Ask it anything about a trade

The numbers, and what they mean.

Most tools give you a number. Vig gives you the number, how it got there and what it means for your next decision, in a sentence you could repeat to someone else.

  • Probability, expectancy and drawdown, worked out step by step
  • Options greeks and volatility, explained like physics
  • Your own trades, data and documents as the source

Why did my NQ stop get hit right before the move went my way?

Mostly noise. In the 15 minutes after your entry, NQ’s 1-minute moves had a standard deviation of about 4.2 points. Treat price as a random walk and the chance it touches a stop 12 points away in that window is about 46%, before your idea has had time to work.

P(touch) = 2 · (1 − Φ(d ÷ σ√t)) = 2 · (1 − Φ(12 ÷ 16.3)) ≈ 0.46

A 24-point stop on 1 contract risks the same $480 as 12 points on 2, and cuts the odds of being shaken out to about 14%.

  • NQ 1-min bars
  • Contract specs: $20/pt

Example conversation. The math is real; the trades are made up.

What Vig does.

Six things a great quant does for a trader, available every second the market is open.

Explains every decision

Why a stop was hit, why a size was cut, why a setup was skipped, in plain English and with the numbers behind it.

Does the math

Position sizing, expectancy, drawdown odds, option greeks and volatility, worked out step by step so you can check them.

Thinks like a physicist

Random walks, mean reversion, momentum and regime shifts, the same models physicists use for noisy systems, applied to price.

Reads the research

Retrieval over filings, reports, contract specs and your own trade journal, with the source attached to every claim.

Writes the code

Turns a description into a GBS script in the Graybook Script Editor, ready to compile, test and apply.

Knows its limits

When the data isn’t there, Vig says so. No invented numbers, no guaranteed outcomes.

Under the hood.

Vig is built on all three things we do: a custom language model, a retrieval pipeline and NLP that reads the market’s text.

  1. 1

    Retrieve

    Your question pulls the right context: trade history, positions, market data, contract specs and research.

  2. 2

    Reason

    A model tuned on trading text works out what you’re really asking and what it needs to answer it.

  3. 3

    Compute

    The numbers are calculated, not guessed: probabilities, sizes and greeks come from code that runs.

  4. 4

    Explain

    The answer comes back in plain language, with the working shown and the sources cited.
