This script offers an SMI index of VIX, SPY, and NDX. Rather than overlaying VIX, NDX and SPY on the same chart.
It's much easier to see the correlation between VIX's price and NDX / SPY price in this manner.
Thanks to Buckkets & William Blau for the TSI smoothing method.
The volatility index, Williams vix fix developed by Larry Williams, is a well-known index for finding market bottoms. It describes how much the current low price statistically deviates from the maximum within a given look-back period.
The inverse can be formulated by considering "how much the current high value statistically deviates from the minimum within a...
Works best as an intraday indicator
Background black & line green = Long VIX
Background black & red line = No trade
Background orange & line green = Consider selling
Background orange & line red = Short VIX
A useful measure of recent volatility. I use 50 day or 50 week periods, but you can experiment with other values too. Because it measures ranges as a % of current close it can be used to make good comparisons with other historic periods of low (or high) volatility. This measure reached a new 23 year low for daily S&P 500 in July 2017.
Uses and historic examples: ...
BARS SINCE VIX17 Median by dime (v1.0 release) 04/02/2017
(Inspired by "Bars Since the last RSI Extreme" from DRodriguezFX)
This indicator is useful in tracking how many daily bars since the VIX was last at a historically 'normal' range.
Currently the VIX has been in a period of low volatility for a period of 98 daily bars since the VIX was last at the 17...
This simple script was a collaborative effort with 4X4good.
It plots a moving median for the period using the 50th percentile value.
We wanted to know the median value of VIX but surprisingly, a median indicator wasn't yet available in the indicators library.
So we did a little research & put this together.
This strategy is based off of Chris Moody's Vix Fix Indicator . I simply used his indicator and added some rules around it, specifically on entry and exits.
Rules :
Enter upon a filtered or aggressive entry
If there are multiple entry signals, allow pyramiding
Exit when there is Stochastic RSI crossover above 80
This works great on a number of...
Feel the force ... read the source.
Give you an idea of the contango headwind / backwardation tailwind that UVXY is experiencing.
Works on Daily time frame only unless you buy the VIX feed.
Variation on idea at url below using SPYIX from BATS instead of VIX
from marketsci.wordpress.com
Aids in identifying changes in volatility direction.
EDIT: just noticed that URL is now password protected. The concept from the author is simple: use EMA and SMA smoothing of the VIX as two signal lines. When they cross you have a change in VIX direction. I...
