ACH_Williams_Vix_Fix

Description

This indicator is the ctrader version of the famous CM_Williams_Vix_Fix indicator. And I saw that it was used a lot in tradingview. That's why I created it for ctrader users to use.

-------------------------------

WilliamsVixFix indicator was invented back in 2007 when the well-known trader and “indicator innovator” Larry Williams wrote an article in Active Trader about VIX and how you can create your synthetic VIX for any security you like.

It was introduced in 1993 and is intended to represent the “fear” or “complacency” of the market. Unfortunately, the VIX is only calculated for the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and the Dow Jones 30.

When the VIX is high, it shows fear is high and vice versa. A high VIX normally means the market has fallen, at least in the short term, and the risk premium for owning stocks increases.

The formula for Williams VixFix is as follows:

Formula VIX Fix = (Highest (Close,22) – Low) / (Highest (Close,22)) * 100

***Combining Williams Vix Fix with Bollinger Bands can help us find trend reversal points***

If you have any problem with how to work with this indicator, contact me.

I can also take orders for algorithm development.
