VixRSI - The Fear Indicator

The VixRSI which was presented in the January 2014 issue of the TASC magazine.

Several years ago, Larry Williams developed something he calls the VIX fix. What he developed was a simple calculation that closely emulates the performance of the original VIX using only price data, and which can therefore be applied to any tradable. In a nutshell, we take the highest close over the last 22 trading days, subtract today�s low price, and then divide the result by the highest close over the last 22 trading days.

Combining the VixFix with the RSI makes it even more powerful to detect Instrument bottoms and oversold areas. Detecting overbought VIX �greed areas� can also be useful if you try to catch a fast and profitable long trade on the VIX itself.

The calculation is simple:
VixRSI = ema3 of VixFix / ema3 of 14-day RSI
