Intrangle - Straddle / StrangleIntrangle is an indicator to assist Nifty / Bank Nifty Option Writers / Sellers to identify the PE / CE legs to Sell for Straddle and Strangle positions for Intraday.
Basic Idea : (My Conclusion for making this Indicator)
1) Last 10 Years data says Nifty / Bank Nifty More than 66% of times Index are sideways or rangebound (within 1% day) .
2) Mostly, First one hour high and low working as good support and resistance.
Once First one hour complete, this indicator will show Strangle High (CE), Strangle Low (PE) and Straddle (CE/PE).
Straddle:
If you want to do straddle strategy, sell at the money strike (CE/PE) when price comes near to the straddle line (black line),
Strangle:
If you want to do Strangle strategy, sell Strangle High (CE) and Strangle Low (PE) when price comes near to the straddle line (black line). Both Strangle High and Low will be out of the money when price near to the straddle line (black line).
Adjustment: option adjustment to be done based on the price movement. Adjustment purely up to the user / trader.
Note1: If price not comes to near straddle line after first hour, better to stay light…
Note2: If first hour not giving wide High / Low, don’t use strangle strike based on this indicator. Straddle can be done any day with require adjustment / hedge. This Indicator is purely for education purpose, user / trader has to be back-tested before their start using it.
This indicator will work in Nifty / Bank Nifty only. Best Time frames are 3/5/15 Mins. This is purely made for Intraday
Happy Trading 😊
Straddle Indicator - Padding GuideThe Straddle Indicator is designed to help traders visualize potential market movements by straddling the current price. This indicator draws two horizontal lines on the chart: one positioned above and one below the current price, based on user-defined offsets.
Key Features:
Dynamic Price Levels: The levels are calculated based on the current closing price, allowing the indicator to adapt to changing market conditions in real time.
Customizable Offsets: Traders can customize the offsets for the lines above and below the current price, providing flexibility to align with their trading strategies or market analysis.
Visual Clarity: The indicator displays the price levels as horizontal lines in distinct colors (green for above and red for below) along with corresponding labels showing the exact price levels, facilitating quick reference.
Current Bar Focus: The lines and labels are updated to only reflect the current bar, minimizing chart clutter and making it easy to focus on the most relevant price action.
This indicator is particularly useful for traders employing straddle strategies, as it helps to anticipate potential price movements and plan entries or exits accordingly.
NSE Option Straddle Candle Chart
'NSE Option Straddle Candle Chart' plot a straddle chart of the mentioned strike.
Straddle means combine price of a call price and a put price.
User has 4 inputs :
1 : Spot Symbol
2 : Expiry date
3 : Straddle Strikes
4 : Ema Length
5 : Supertrend Inputs
How to use :
1 : Trade need to know first what is a straddle. If ATM straddle price is 405, than it means market is likely to close within 405 points up or down at the expiry.
2 : Straddle is traded on pairs only
3 : If trader sells a straddle than , straddle price should move down. For there reference supertrend and moving average is plotted on chart
4 : Both this indicators helps trade to identify the trend , hence predict market.
5 : Options are dying assite , so is straddle , so prefer selling straddle instead of buying.
Rolling Straddle PremiumScript is Basically intended to provide insight's on the Rolling Straddle premium for the selected index based on the input settings.
Important thing to consider for the script to work seamlessly:
Specify the LTP in the input field (need not be very accurate)
Specify the Expiry Date for the Option Strike.
Ensure Profile matches to the chart script (Index Script)
Note: Zones marked in Blue, is the max level that indicator can track the option prices. beyond which it may fail to track, during such time consider reloading the indicator with Latest LTP .
Labels on the chart indicate that If i had shorted the Straddle, what would be my current position of that Straddle. however the rational behind shorting is only the pivot high points (not sure if this is right or wrong! )
Note On Labels: Labels are delayed basis the pivot point candles specified in the indicator settings.
EN: Entry Price (Straddle Premium) of the Strike Specified.
Cur: Current Price ( Current Straddle Premium ) of the Strike Specified.
SH: Max Straddle Premium ( Increase in Premium ) since position is active.
SL: Min Straddle Premium ( Premium Erosion ) since position is active.
Options Strategy Straddle StrangleThe "Options Strategy Straddle Strangle" indicator is designed to assist traders in identifying and executing optimal options trading strategies by leveraging the foundational principles of option greeks. This tool focuses on two prevalent strategies in options trading: straddles and strangles, providing a systematic approach to determining appropriate strike prices based on real-time market data.
At its core, the indicator calculates strike prices by analyzing key option greeks, including Delta, Gamma, Theta, and Vega. By evaluating these sensitivities, the tool assesses the potential risks and rewards associated with different strike prices, ensuring that the selected levels align with the trader's specified thresholds. Users can input their desired thresholds for each greek, allowing for a customized approach that reflects individual risk tolerance and market outlook.
Once the thresholds are set, the indicator applies its underlying logic to filter and identify the most suitable strike prices for both straddle and strangle strategies. A straddle involves purchasing both a call and a put option at the same strike price, benefiting from significant price movements in either direction. Conversely, a strangle involves buying a call and a put option at different strike prices, which can be more cost-effective while still capitalizing on substantial market shifts.
The output of the "Options Strategy Straddle Strangle" indicator is presented in a clear and organized table format. This table displays the recommended strike prices for implementing either a straddle or a strangle strategy, based on the current market conditions and the predefined greek thresholds. By providing this information in an accessible manner, the indicator enables traders to make informed decisions quickly, enhancing their ability to respond to market volatility effectively.
Note:
Used methodology of the following indicator:
Rate Of Change Earnings Move - ROCEMRate Of Change Earnings Move
What is it and how does it work?
The Rate of Change Earnings Move indicator or ROCEM is an indicator designed for giving the user an idea of how much a stock has moved up or down in past earnings reports. This is ideal for options traders who can use ROCEM to calculate whether or not their long straddles are actually probable of happening.
How it works
The indicator measures the absolute value rate of change and then calculates the average rate of change for the day of the earnings report for the past 8 earnings reports (2 years). It then takes the current stock price and finds the upper and lower price based on the average rate of change for past earnings.
I have also included a moving average (purple line), use this to see if the current rate of change is higher than usual.
Additionally, earnings reports are marked with a red x on the indicator.
How to trade ROCEM
This is primarily made for options trading so I will be explaining how it can be used for that. It is not suited for traditional stock trading as it does not determine a market direction.
Select a stock with an upcoming earnings
Enter your per leg commissions in the indicator if you want it to calculate new upper and lower prices (makes it easier to determine if the options trade will pass the breakeven when commissions are factored in)
Compare your long straddle breakevens with the upper and lower prices of the indicator. If the upper breakeven is smaller than the upper price in ROCEM and the lower breakeven is larger than the lower price in ROCEM, then a long straddle position could be considered a reasonable trade based on past earnings performance.
TCLC - Options - Straddle/Strangle ChartInput :
* two option Premiums
* net Premium Paid for LONG
* net Premium Received for SHORT
based on the above data it plots the line chart of the premiums
the indicator can be used to monitor the straddle / strangle positions
the table displays the premiums of the corresponding options premiums and the current premiums
based on the positions the color of the net premiums will be in RED/ GREEEN
Jurik Fast K copyPretty good copy of the Jurik Fast-K indicator. The phase and power shouldn't really need to be messed with but you can play with the lengths. Jurik's default is 24 and 16 but I prefer the 16 and 12 that I coded into it on here. Enjoy!
Willams %R with 13 EMA and 13 SMAThis is standard Williams %R originally written by another user that I modified. Credit to him whose name escapes me at the moment. The green line is 13EMA and red line is 13SMA (offset by 2 for timing trades). Great for very quick trades/day trades. Green over red = long. Red over Green = short.
Beware: this is still a choppy indicator. You'll need to use it with the Ichimoku lagging span, chop indiicator, adx, or some other method of avoiding getting chopped to death trying to take every signal.
Awesome Oscillator and MACD Histogram by SierraPilot (Lemrin)This is an indicator I stole from Lemrin. I added the plots for the MACD line and the Signal line and also changed the AO and MACD histo to an area plot. MACD = red and green. AO = blue and yellow. Green over top of Blue = possible reversal. Green overlaid over blue = uptrend. Yellow over top of Red = downside reversal possible. Yellow overlaid over Red = downtrend in progress. MACD and Signal line behave normally. Thanks to Lemrin for the majority of the code.
Awesome Oscillator and MACD HistogramGreat script by Lemrin. I just added lines at the 6.5 and -5.0 levels for trend analysis per my own strategy and change the columns to area.
_SP(viaCM)_Opening-Range-FinalChris Moody's script. I just lessened the line/circle width, got rid of the highlighting overall, and reduced the highlighting between OR high and OR low.
Monthly Expected Move (IV + Realized)What it does
Overlays 1-month expected move bands on price using both forward-looking options data and backward-looking realized movement:
IV30 band — from your pasted 30-day implied vol (%)
Straddle band — from your pasted ATM ~30-DTE call+put total
HV band — from Historical Volatility computed on-chart
ATR band — from ATR% extrapolated to ~1 trading month
Use it to quickly answer: “How much could this stock move in ~1 month?” and “Is the market now pricing more/less movement than we’ve actually been getting?”
Inputs (quick)
Implied (forward-looking)
Use IV30 (%) — paste annualized IV30 from your options platform.
Use ATM 30-DTE Straddle — paste Call+Put total (per share) at the ATM strike, ~30 DTE.
Realized (backward-looking)
HV lookback (days) — default 21 (≈1 trading month).
ATR length — default 14.
Note: TradingView can’t fetch option data automatically. Paste the IV30 % or the straddle total you read from your broker (use Mark/mid prices).
How it’s calculated
IV band (±%) = IV30 × √(21/252) (annualized → ~1-month).
Straddle band (±%) = (ATM Call + Put) / Spot to that expiry (≈30 DTE).
HV band (±%) = stdev(log returns, N) × √252 × √(21/252).
ATR band (±%) = (ATR(len)/Close) × √21.
All bands are plotted as upper/lower envelopes around price, plus an on-chart readout of each ±% for quick scanning.
How to use it (at a glance)
IV/Straddle bands wider than HV/ATR → market expects bigger movement than recent actuals (possible catalyst/expansion).
All bands narrow → likely a low-mover; look elsewhere if you want action.
HV > IV → realized swings exceed current pricing (mean-reversion or vol bleed often follows).
Pro tips
For ATM straddle: pick the expiry closest to ~30 DTE, use the ATM strike (closest to spot), and add Call Mark + Put Mark (per share). If the exact ATM strike isn’t quoted, average the two neighboring strikes.
The simple straddle/spot heuristic can read slightly below the IV-derived 1σ; that’s normal.
Keep the chart on daily timeframe—the math assumes trading-day conventions (~252/yr, ~21/mo).
Sideways + Buy + Sell DetectionSure! Here's the plain-language description of your script without using any code.
---
### 📘 **Script Purpose**
This script is designed to detect three different types of market conditions:
1. **Sideways (range-bound) market** — useful for non-directional strategies like strangles or straddles.
2. **Bullish trend** — provides a signal to consider buying.
3. **Bearish trend** — provides a signal to consider selling.
---
### 🔧 **Indicators Used**
* **RSI (Relative Strength Index)**: Measures market momentum. It's used to determine whether the market is in a bullish, bearish, or neutral zone.
* **ADX (Average Directional Index)** along with **DI+ and DI-**: Measures the strength and direction of a trend.
* **MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)**: Confirms momentum and trend direction based on moving averages.
---
### 🟪 **Sideways Market Signal**
A sideways (non-trending) signal is shown when:
* RSI indicates the market is neither overbought nor oversold (in the middle range).
* ADX shows weak trend strength.
* The ADX value is lower than both DI+ and DI-, suggesting indecision or lack of clear trend.
A purple label appears below the bar when this condition is met.
---
### 🟩 **Buy Signal**
A buy signal is generated when:
* RSI shows strong upward momentum.
* ADX confirms there is a strong trend.
* MACD confirms bullish conditions with both the MACD and signal lines above zero and in the correct crossover direction.
A green label appears below the bar when these bullish conditions align.
---
### 🟥 **Sell Signal**
A sell signal appears when:
* RSI shows strong downward momentum.
* ADX confirms a strong trend.
* MACD confirms bearish conditions, with both MACD and signal lines below zero and in the correct crossover direction.
A red label appears — currently also plotted below the bar (which you may want to move above the bar for better clarity).
---
### ✅ **Use Case**
This script is suitable for:
* Deciding when to deploy **strangle/straddle** strategies in sideways markets.
* Identifying strong **bullish or bearish trends** for directional trades.
* Filtering out weak or indecisive conditions.

Multi-Factor Reversal AnalyzerMulti-Factor Reversal Analyzer – Quantitative Reversal Signal System
OVERVIEW
Multi-Factor Reversal Analyzer is a comprehensive technical analysis toolkit designed to detect market tops and bottoms with high precision. It combines trend momentum analysis, price action behavior, wave oscillation structure, and volatility breakout potential into one unified indicator.
This indicator is not a random mix of tools — each module is carefully selected for a specific purpose. When combined, they form a multi-dimensional view of the market, merging trend analysis, momentum divergence, and volatility compression to produce high-confidence signals.
Why Combine These Modules?
Module Combination Ideas & How to Use Them
Factor A: Trend Detector + Gold Zone
Concept:
• The Trend Detector (light yellow histogram) evaluates market strength:
• Histogram trending downward or staying below 50 → bearish conditions;
• Trending upward or staying above 50 → bullish conditions.
• The Gold Zone identifies areas of volatility compression — typically a prelude to explosive market moves.
Practical Application:
• When the Gold Zone appears and the Trend Detector is bearish → likely downside move;
• When the Gold Zone appears and the Trend Detector is bullish → likely upside breakout.
• Note: The Gold Zone does not mean the bottom is in. It is not a buy signal on its own — always combine it with other modules for directional bias.
Factor B: PAI + Wave Trend
Concept:
• PAI (Price Action Index) is a custom oscillator that combines price momentum with volatility dispersion, displaying strength zones:
• Green area → bullish dominance;
• Red area → bearish pressure.
• Wave Trend offers smoothed crossover signals via the main and signal lines.
Practical Application:
• When PAI is in the green zone and Wave Trend makes a bullish crossover → potential reversal to the upside;
• When PAI is in the red zone and Wave Trend shows a bearish crossover → potential start of a downtrend.
Factor C: Trend Detector + PAI
Concept:
• Combines directional trend strength with price action strength to confirm setups via confluence.
Practical Application:
• Trend Detector histogram bottoms out + PAI enters the green zone → high chance of upward reversal;
• Histogram tops out + PAI in the red zone → increased likelihood of downside continuation.
Multi-Factor Confluence (Advanced Use)
• When Trend Detector, PAI, and Wave Trend all align in the same direction (bullish or bearish), the directional signal becomes significantly more reliable.
• This setup is especially useful for trend-following or swing trade entries.
KEY FEATURES
1. Multi-Layer Reversal Logic
• Combines trend scoring, oscillator divergence, and volatility squeezes for triangulated reversal detection.
• Helps traders distinguish between trend pullbacks and true reversals.
2. Advanced Divergence Detection
• Detects both regular and hidden divergences using pivot-based confirmation logic.
• Customizable lookback ranges and pivot sensitivity provide flexible tuning for different market styles.
3. Gold Zone Volatility Compression
• Highlights pre-breakout zones using custom oscillation models (RSI, harmonic, Karobein, etc.).
• Improves anticipation of breakout opportunities following low-volatility compressions.
4. Trend Direction Context
• PAI and Trend Score components provide top-down insight into prevailing bias.
• Built-in “Straddle Area” highlights consolidation zones; breakouts from this area often signal new trend phases.
5. Flexible Visualization
• Color-coded trend bars, reversal markers, normalized oscillator plots, and trend strength labels.
• Designed for both visual discretionary traders and data-driven system developers.
USAGE GUIDELINES
1. Applicable Markets
• Suitable for stocks, crypto, futures, and forex
• Supports reversal, mean-reversion, and breakout trading styles
2. Recommended Timeframes
• Short-term traders: 5m / 15m / 1H — use Wave Trend divergence + Gold Zone
• Swing traders: 4H / Daily — rely on Price Action Index and Trend Detector
• Macro trend context: use PAI HTF mode for higher timeframe overlays
3. Reversal Strategy Flow
• Watch for divergence (WT/PAI) + Gold Zone compression
• Confirm with Trend Score weakening or flipping
• Use Straddle Area breakout for final trigger
• Optional: enable bar coloring or labels for visual reinforcement
• The indicator performs optimally when used in conjunction with a harmonic pattern recognition tool
4. Additional Note on the Gold Zone
The “Gold Zone” does not directly indicate a market bottom. Since it is displayed at the bottom of the chart, it may be misunderstood as a bullish signal. In reality, the Gold Zone represents a compression of price momentum and volatility, suggesting that a significant directional move is about to occur. The direction of that move—upward or downward—should be determined by analyzing the histogram:
• If histogram momentum is weakening, the Gold Zone may precede a downward move.
• If histogram momentum is strengthening, it may signal an upcoming rebound or rally.
Treat the Gold Zone as a warning of impending volatility, and always combine it with trend indicators for accurate directional judgment.
RISK DISCLAIMER
• This indicator calculates trend direction based on historical data and cannot guarantee future market performance. When using this indicator for trading, always combine it with other technical analysis tools, fundamental analysis, and personal trading experience for comprehensive decision-making.
• Market conditions are uncertain, and trend signals may result in false positives or lag. Traders should avoid over-reliance on indicator signals and implement stop-loss strategies and risk management techniques to reduce potential losses.
• Leverage trading carries high risks and may result in rapid capital loss. If using this indicator in leveraged markets (such as futures, forex, or cryptocurrency derivatives), exercise caution, manage risks properly, and set reasonable stop-loss/take-profit levels to protect funds.
• All trading decisions are the sole responsibility of the trader. The developer is not liable for any trading losses. This indicator is for technical analysis reference only and does not constitute investment advice.
• Before live trading, it is recommended to use a demo account for testing to fully understand how to use the indicator and apply proper risk management strategies.
CHANGELOG
v1.0: Initial release featuring integrated Price Action Index, Trend Strength Scoring, Wave Trend Oscillator, Gold Zone Compression Detection, and dual-type divergence recognition. Supports higher timeframe (HTF) synchronization, visual signal markers, and diversified parameter configurations.
vix_vx_regressionAn example of the linear regression library, showing the regression of VX futures on the VIX. The beta might help you weight VX futures when hedging SPX vega exposure. A VX future has point multiplier of 1000, whereas SPX options have a point multiplier of 100. Suppose the front month VX future has a beta of 0.6 and the front month SPX straddle has a vega of 8.5. Using these approximations, the VX future will underhedge the SPX straddle, since (0.6 * 1000) < (8.5 * 100). The position will have about 2.5 ($250) vega. Use the R^2 (coefficient of determination) to check how well the model fits the relationship between VX and VIX. The further from one this value, the less useful the model.
(Note that the mini, VXM futures also have a 100 point multiplier).
Power Law Correlation Indicator 2.0 The Power Law Correlation Indicator is an attempt to chart when a stock/currency/futures contract goes parabolic forming a upward or downward curve that accelerates according to power laws.
I've read about power laws from Sornette Diedler ( www.marketcalls.in ). And I think the theory is a good one.
The idea behind this indicator is that it will rise to 1.0 as the curve resembles a parabolic up or down swing. When it is below zero, the stock will flatten out.
There are many ways to use this indicator. One way I am testing it out is in trading Strangles or Straddle option trades. When this indicator goes below zero and starts to turn around, it means that it has flattened out. This is like a squeeze indicator. (see the TTM squeeze indicator).
Since this indicator goes below zero and the squeeze plays tend to be mean-reverting; then its a great time to put on a straddle/strangle.
Another way to use it is to think of it in terms of trend strength. Think of it as a kind of ADX, that measures the trend strength. When it is rising, the trend is strong; when it is dropping, the trend is weak.
Lastly I think this indicator needs some work. I tried to put the power (x^n) function into it but my coding skill is limited. I am hoping that Lazy Bear or Ricardo Santos can do it some justice.
Also I think that if we can figure out how to do other power law graphs, perhaps we can plot them together on one indicator.
So far I really like this one for finding Strangle spots. So check it out.

Daily Distribution Range - Amplitude Probability DashboardSummary
This indicator provides a powerful statistical deep-dive into an asset's daily distribution range, amplitude and volatility. It moves beyond simple range indicators by calculating the historical probability of a trading day reaching certain amplitude levels.
The results are presented in a clean, interactive dashboard that highlights the current day's performance in real-time, allowing traders to instantly gauge if the current volatility is normal, unusually high, or unusually low compared to history.
This tool is designed to help traders answer a critical question: "Based on past behavior, what is the likelihood that today's range will be at least X%?"
Key Concepts Explained
1. Daily Amplitude (%)
The indicator first calculates the amplitude (or range) of every historical daily candle and expresses it as a percentage of that day's opening price.
Formula: (Daily High - Daily Low) / Daily Open * 100
This normalization allows for a consistent volatility comparison across different price levels and time periods.
2. Cumulative Probability Distribution
Instead of showing the probability of a day's final range falling into a small, exclusive bin (e.g., "exactly between 1.0% and 1.5%"), this indicator uses a cumulative model. It answers the question, "What is the probability that the daily range will be at least a certain value?"
For example, if the row for "≥ 2%" shows a probability of 12.22%, it means that historically, 12.22% of all trading days have had a total range of 2% or more. This is incredibly useful for risk management and setting realistic expectations.
Core Features
Statistical Dashboard: Presents all data in a clear, easy-to-read table on your chart.
Cumulative Probability Model: Instantly see the historical probability of the daily range reaching or exceeding key percentage levels.
Real-Time Highlight & Arrow (→): The dashboard isn't just historical. It actively tracks the current, unfinished day's amplitude and highlights the corresponding row with a color and an arrow (→). This provides immediate context for the current session's price action.
Timeframe Independent: You can use this indicator on any chart timeframe (e.g., 5-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour), and it will always fetch and calculate using the correct daily data.
Clean & Professional UI: Features a monospace font for perfect alignment and a simple, readable design.
Fully Customizable: Easily adjust the dashboard's position, text size, and the amount of historical data used for the analysis.
How to Use & Interpret the Data
This indicator is not a trading signal but a powerful tool for statistical context and decision-making.
Risk Management: If you see that an asset has only a 5% historical probability of moving more than 3% in a day, you can set stop-losses more intelligently and avoid being overly aggressive with your targets on a typical day.
Setting Profit Targets: Gauge realistic intra-day profit targets. If a stock is already up 2.5% and has historically only moved more than 3% on rare occasions, you might consider taking profits.
Options Trading: Volatility is paramount for options. This tool helps you visualize the expected range of movement, which can inform decisions on strike selection for strategies like iron condors or straddles.
Identifying Volatility Regimes: Quickly see if the current day is a "normal" low-volatility day or an "abnormal" high-volatility day that could signal a major market event or trend initiation.
Dashboard Breakdown

IV PercentileIV Percentile Indicator - Brief Description
What It Does
The IV Percentile Indicator measures where current implied volatility ranks compared to the past year, showing what percentage of time volatility was lower than today's level.
How It Works
Data Collection:
Tracks implied volatility (or historical volatility as proxy) for each trading day
Stores the last 252 days (1 year) of volatility readings
Uses VIX data for SPY/SPX, historical volatility for other stocks
Calculation:
IV Percentile = (Days with IV below current level) ÷ (Total days) × 100
Example: If IV Percentile = 75%, it means current volatility is higher than 75% of the past year's readings.
Visual Output
Main Display:
Blue line showing percentile (0-100%)
Reference lines at key levels (20%, 30%, 50%, 70%, 80%)
Color-coded backgrounds for quick identification
Info table with current readings
Key Levels:
80%+ (Red): Very high IV → Sell premium
70-79% (Orange): High IV → Consider selling
30-20% (Green): Low IV → Consider buying
<20% (Bright Green): Very low IV → Buy premium
Trading Application
When IV Percentile is HIGH (70%+):
Options are expensive relative to recent history
Good time to sell premium (iron condors, credit spreads)
Expect volatility to decrease toward normal levels
When IV Percentile is LOW (30%-):
Options are cheap relative to recent history
Good time to buy premium (straddles, long options)
Expect volatility to increase from compressed levels
Core Logic
The indicator helps answer: "Is this a good time to buy or sell options based on how expensive/cheap they are compared to recent history?" It removes the guesswork from volatility timing by providing historical context for current option prices.
Options Volatility Strategy Analyzer [TradeDots]The Options Volatility Strategy Analyzer is a specialized tool designed to help traders assess market conditions through a detailed examination of historical volatility, market benchmarks, and percentile-based thresholds. By integrating multiple volatility metrics (including VIX and VIX9D) with color-coded regime detection, the script provides users with clear, actionable insights for selecting appropriate options strategies.
📝 HOW IT WORKS
1. Historical Volatility & Percentile Calculations
Annualized Historical Volatility (HV): The script automatically computes the asset’s historical volatility using log returns over a user-defined period. It then annualizes these values based on the chart’s timeframe, helping you understand the asset’s typical volatility profile.
Dynamic Percentile Ranks: To gauge where the current volatility level stands relative to past behavior, historical volatility values are compared against short, medium, and long lookback periods. Tracking these percentile ranks allows you to quickly see if volatility is high or low compared to historical norms.
2. Multi-Market Benchmark Comparison
VIX and VIX9D Integration: The script tracks market volatility through the VIX and VIX9D indices, comparing them to the asset’s historical volatility. This reveals whether the asset’s volatility is outpacing, lagging, or remaining in sync with broader market volatility conditions.
Market Context Analysis: A built-in term-structure check can detect market stress or relative calm by measuring how VIX compares to shorter-dated volatility (VIX9D). This helps you decide if the present environment is risk-prone or relatively stable.
3. Volatility Regime Detection
Color-Coded Background: The analyzer assigns a volatility regime (e.g., “High Asset Vol,” “Low Asset Vol,” “Outpacing Market,” etc.) based on current historical volatility percentile levels and asset vs. market ratios. A color-coded background highlights the regime, enabling traders to quickly interpret the market’s mood.
Alerts on Regime Changes & Spikes: Automated alerts warn you about any significant expansions or contractions in volatility, allowing you to react swiftly in changing conditions.
4. Strategy Forecast Table
Real-Time Strategy Suggestions: At the close of each bar, an on-chart table generates suggested options strategies (e.g., selling premium in high volatility or buying premium in low volatility). These suggestions provide a quick summary of potential tactics suited to the current regime.
Contextual Market Data: The table also displays key statistics, such as VIX levels, asset historical volatility percentile, or ratio comparisons, helping you confirm whether volatility conditions warrant more conservative or more aggressive strategies.
🛠️ HOW TO USE
1. Select Your Timeframe: The script supports multiple timeframes. For short-term trading, intraday charts often reveal faster shifts in volatility. For swing or position trading, daily or weekly charts may be more stable and produce fewer false signals.
2. Check the Volatility Regime: Observe the background color and on-chart labels to identify the current regime (e.g., “HIGH ASSET VOL,” “LOW VOL + LAGGING,” etc.).
3. Review the Forecast Table: The table suggests strategy ideas (e.g., iron condors, long straddles, ratio spreads) depending on whether volatility is elevated, subdued, or spiking. Use these as a starting point for designing trades that match your risk tolerance.
4. Combine with Additional Analysis: For optimal results, confirm signals with your broader trading plan, technical tools (moving averages, price action), and fundamental research. This script is most effective when viewed as one component in a comprehensive decision-making process.
❗️LIMITATIONS
Directional Neutrality: This indicator analyzes volatility environments but does not predict price direction (up/down). Traders must combine with directional analysis for complete strategy selection.
Late or Missed Signals: Since all calculations require a bar to close, sharp intrabar volatility moves may not appear in real-time.
False Positives in Choppy Markets: Rapid changes in percentile ranks or VIX movements can generate conflicting or premature regime shifts.
Data Sensitivity: Accuracy depends on the availability and stability of volatility data. Significant gaps or unusual market conditions may skew results.
Market Correlation Assumptions: The system assumes assets generally correlate with S&P 500 volatility patterns. May be less effective for:
Small-cap stocks with unique volatility drivers
International stocks with different market dynamics
Sector-specific events disconnected from broad market
Cryptocurrency-related assets with independent volatility patterns
RISK DISCLAIMER
Options trading involves substantial risk and is not suitable for all investors. Options strategies can result in significant losses, including the total loss of premium paid. The complexity of options strategies requires thorough understanding of the risks involved.
This indicator provides volatility analysis for educational and informational purposes only and should not be considered as investment advice. Past volatility patterns do not guarantee future performance. Market conditions can change rapidly, and volatility regimes may shift without warning.
No trading system can guarantee profits, and all trading involves the risk of loss. The indicator's regime classifications and strategy suggestions should be used as part of a comprehensive trading plan that includes proper risk management, directional analysis, and consideration of broader market conditions.
