Intraday Contango Indicator
If you trade volatility products you need to know the amount of contango between futures 1 and 2. You can see the EOD value using: VI2!/VI1!
For a intraday indicator, the expression VXX*XIV contains a good approximation. The Rate Of Change of this expression shows you how much contango there is (in relative terms) and can warn you if we enter backwardation - when there is a sudden dip in the indicator value.
In summ: ROC(vxx*xiv)
