Editors' picksOPEN-SOURCE SCRIPTVIX Cheat Sheet
Updated
Hello!
This indicator - "VIX Cheat Sheet" - performs several calculations for
VIX against the asset on your chart. However, using VIX as a risk proxy or volatility metric often fails beyond large-cap U.S equities. To remedy this, the VixFix indicator is included in the script; you can select whether the script performs calculations for an asset against VIX or against VixFix (i.e. Forex, Crypto)
Measured are:VIX correlation to an asset's price fluctuations, the average close-to-close gain/loss subsequent a VIX/VixFix close above the upper Bollinger Band, the average 5-session gain/loss following the same occurrence in addition to the average 10-session gain/loss, all close-to-close, 5 session, and 10-session gains/losses are stored as tooltips for labels on the chart. The current close-to-close percentage gain/loss for VIX and VixFix are displayed on the chart.
Displayed in the example image is a box incorporatingVIX price data alongside an upper Bollinger Band and lower Bollinger Band. The data isn't cast to its own price scale but is helpful for quick interpretation of VIX fluctuations. You can select to plot VixFix data in the box in the user inputs table.
Displayed in the second example image is a semi-transparent blue box encompassing all price moves that occurred whenVIX measured above $40 for at least ten consecutive sessions. The largest percentage close-to-close loss is displayed below the box.
Also illustrated is a red label that appears whenVIX or VixFix closes above the upper Bollinger Band. The indicator will calculate and display the performance of the asset for the subsequent 10 sessions, to which the red label will disappear and all data stored as a tooltip in the blue labels stating "VIX Closed Above Upper Band" or "VixFix Closed Above Upper Band".
To reduce chart clutter, a label and line combination marking allVIX closes above the upper Bollinger Band was not included. Instead, bar color changes were added. When "VIX" is selected in the user inputs table the indicator will mark all sessions in which VIX closed above the upper band as blue, in addition to plotting VIX price data in the dynamic black box. When "VixFix" is selected, the indicator will mark all sessions where VixFix closed above the upper band as purple; the VixFix indicator will be plotted in the black box.
Be sure to hover over labels to access tooltip information; try the indicator with bar replay!
