The Volatility Index (VIX) is calculated only for the S&P, Dow, and Nasdaq.

However, according to Larry Williams; A synthetic” (VIX) calculation can be used in any market to reproduce the performance of the well-known volatility index.

market is NASDAQ

set{x1, close 22 day high}
set{x2, x1-low}
set{x3, x2/x1}
set{wvf, x3*100}
set{x4, cstddev(wvf,20)}
set{sDev, 2*x4}
set{midline, cma(wvf,20)}
set{lowerBand, midline - sDev}
set{upperBand, midline + sDev}
set{rangeHigh50, wvf 50 day high}
set{rangeHigh, rangeHigh50 *0.85}
set{rangeLow50, wvf 50 day low}
set{rangeLow, rangeLow50 * 1.01}

draw wvf
PlotType{wvf,zerobar}
draw upperBand on plot wvf
draw rangeHigh on plot wvf

]



High values = High volatility and potential market bottoms
Low values = Low volatility and potential market tops

High values above the lines help confirm market bottoms

Here's a simple jazz riff on the filter above (with some of my preferred add-ins) for those of us who do better with numbers than charts. (Or, like me, prefer the obvious to be clearly shown...).

Fetcher[
Market is NASDAQ
Average Volume(30) > 300000
Volume > 300000
Price > 3

set{x1, close 22 day high}
set{x2, x1-low}
set{x3, x2/x1}
set{wvf, x3*100}
set{x4, cstddev(wvf,20)}
set{sDev, 2*x4}
set{midline, cma(wvf,20)}
set{lowerBand, midline - sDev}
set{upperBand, midline + sDev}
set{rangeHigh50, wvf 50 day high}
set{rangeHigh, rangeHigh50 *0.85}
set{rangeLow50, wvf 50 day low}
set{rangeLow, rangeLow50 * 1.01}

draw wvf
PlotType{wvf,zerobar}
draw upperBand on plot wvf
draw rangeHigh on plot wvf
add column upperBand
add column rangeHigh

and upperBand > rangeHigh
set{diff, upperBand - rangeHigh}
add column diff
sort column 7 descending
]



Might be worth paper-trading for a while to see if there is an actual pattern at play.

There is no pattern. It is the FEAR INDEX... Cool additions though.


Fun Fact; Larry's daughter was in the movie Venom.
