Williams’ VIX Fix Indicator for ThinkorSwim

ext99k · Dec 15, 2021

@diazlaz Thanks for posting the code!

I'm wondering if someone knows how to scan for when the vixfix turns grey from yellow? that seems to do well at finding the bottom and the beginning of the next uptrend. Would appreciate it then we could go ahead and backtest. I've only been able to figure out how to scan for when it turns Yellow but that just signifies the beginning of the down trend, rather, I'm looking for the beginning of the next bull run. Would be great, thanks again.

It would seem that the scan is the same for both tops and bottoms.
But when scanning for bottoms, make sure to set :

input plotBottoms = yes; #hint Plot Bottoms if yes or Plots Tops if no.
def wvf = if plotBottoms then ((Highest(close, pd) - low) / (Highest(close, pd))) * 100 else
((Lowest(close, pd) - high) / (Lowest(close, pd))) * 100;

if set to no, it flips the logic and highlights potential tops.

This doesn't work
input plotBottoms = no; #hint Plot Bottoms if yes or Plots Tops if no.
def wvf = if plotBottoms then ((Highest(close, pd) - low) / (Highest(close, pd))) * 100 else
((Lowest(close, pd) - high) / (Lowest(close, pd))) * 100;

This works ??

((Lowest(close, pd) - high) / (Lowest(close, pd))) * 100;

The Williams’ VIX Fix indicator helps to measure volatility for individual stocks, similar to how the VIX does for the S&P 500 Index. Williams Vix Fix also includes a 20 Bollinger Bands indicating extremes in the signal line.

Some traders believe the Vix Fix indicator can find market bottoms in all instruments.

great indicator i just love it, thank you very much!! a quick question, in this script i think is missing the ORANGE candle, we have the cyan entry, the magenta entry, lime bottom, but we are missing the ORANGE candle entry. can someone check if is just me? thanks in advance

You added the definition for wvf to a script that already had a definition of wvf. Which gave you an error.
Your workaround is valid. By adding wvf1, you avoided the duplicate statement error.
What you should have done:

Replace this:

Rich (BB code):

# Williams Vix Fix Formula
def wvf = ((highest(close, pd) - low) / (highest(close, pd))) * 100;

With this:

Rich (BB code):

# Williams Vix Fix Formula
input plotBottoms = no; #hint Plot Bottoms if yes or Plots Tops if no.
def wvf = if plotBottoms then ((Highest(close, pd) - low) / (Highest(close, pd))) * 100 else
                              ((Lowest(close, pd) - high) / (Lowest(close, pd))) * 100;

Hi,

I am trying to make an upper chart label but it fails. What am I missing here? Thanks

Code:

# EMA
input fastLength = 9;
input slowLength = 21;
def fastEMAOne = ExpAverage(close, fastLength);
def slowEMAOne = ExpAverage(close, slowLength);

# VIX
input n = 22;
def WVF = (Highest (Close, n) - Low) / (Highest(Close, n)) * 100;
def mean = inertiaAll(WVF);

def vix_bull = WVF crosses below mean;
def vix_bear = WVF crosses above mean;

#####
AddLabel(yes, "Put", if  fastEMAOne < slowEMAOne and vix_bear then Color.RED else Color.GRAY);

AddLabel(yes, "Call", if fastEMAOne > slowEMAOne and vix_bull then Color.GREEN else Color.GRAY);

The inertiaAll function is the problem.
When a length is not provided for this function the plot calculation assumes the length of the chart.
When you attempt to use the inertiaAll function in a label, a watchlist, or a scan there is no 'plot'. So there is no "length of the chart" to assume.

Providing a length for ToS 'full range' functions when they are used in a label, a watchlist, or a scan, 'usually' resolves the issue.
Reading through this thread, the mean length for the inertiaAll that members find favorable seems to be 50 for the daily chart.

You must adjust THESE settings to match your strategy:
input gotarrows = yes ; turn on / off to your preference
input meanlength = 50 ; set to the best length for the aggregation that you are using.

FYI: inertiaAll has other problems that will lag with your results.

Thanks for the details answer MD. I was interested to use it for intraday scalp strategy but for some reason it is not working on short time intervals like 3min or 5min. I really appreciate your help.

You must adjust THESE settings to match your strategy:
input gotarrows = yes ; turn on / off to your preference
input meanlength= set to the best length for the aggregation that you are using.

A VERY RUDIMENTARY review of online VIX scalping strategies suggest a meanlength = 10 ** might be a good place to start refining your length. You need to adjust the meanlength to each aggregation that you trade. The meanlength of 10 on the 5 minute seems to fire a little early and still needs adjusting. This is just an EXAMPLE to illustrate that your study does work on lower timeframes.

If you are able to optimize this to your strategy and you want to give back to the community; come back and report what lengths work best and how you are using it.
