What This Indicator Does
The Williams VIX Fix measures market fear by calculating how far current lows deviate from recent highs, identifying potential market bottoms during high volatility periods. This implementation provides Larry Williams' original formula in its purest form.
How It Works
Core Formula:
VIX Fix = ((Highest High over 22 periods - Current Low) / Highest High over 22 periods) × 100
The calculation process:
- Measures Relative Distance: Compares current low to highest high over lookback period
- Converts to Percentage: Normalizes values for cross-market comparison
- Applies Statistical Analysis: Uses Bollinger Bands (2 std dev) around VIX Fix values
- Filters with Percentiles: 85th percentile threshold removes noise
Signal Generation
Green Flash Signals trigger when either condition is met:
- VIX Fix exceeds upper Bollinger Band (2 standard deviations above 20-period MA)
- VIX Fix exceeds Range High (85th percentile of recent values)
This dual-condition approach reduces false signals while capturing genuine volatility spikes.
What Makes This Original
- Pure Formula Implementation: Uses Williams' exact original calculation without modifications
- Dual Confirmation System: Combines Bollinger Bands with percentile analysis
- Professional Visualization: Histogram display, background highlighting, and live value table
- Comprehensive Alerts: Signal start/end notifications plus Green Flash alerts
How to Use
Primary Purpose: Spot high-probability reversal zones during market fear climaxes
Signal Interpretation:
- Green triangle + background highlight = High volatility reversal zone
- Higher VIX Fix values = Stronger fear/better reversal potential
- Use with price action confirmation for best results
Optimal Settings:
