Normalized Volatility (VIX & VDAX)#Script Capabilities
1. Retrieves VIX Data via External Symbol
The script pulls volatility data (e.g., CBOE:VIX) using request.security(), independent of the chart’s underlying asset.
2. Selectable Timeframe Input
Users can define the VIX calculation timeframe (e.g., Daily, Weekly, Intraday), making the indicator adaptable to different trading horizons.
3. Rolling Lookback Window
It evaluates volatility relative to a configurable historical period (e.g., 252 days), enabling regime-sensitive analysis.
4. Min-Max Normalization (0–100 Scale)
The script transforms raw VIX values into a standardized 0–100 range, allowing intuitive interpretation of extremes.
5. Relative Volatility Positioning
It shows where the current VIX stands within its recent historical range, rather than displaying only absolute levels.
6. Visual Threshold Levels
Reference lines (e.g., 20 / 50 / 80) help classify volatility into low, neutral, or high regimes.
7. Optional Background Highlighting
High and low volatility zones can be visually emphasized for faster decision-making.
8. Regime Detection Tool
The indicator helps identify transitions between low-volatility trend environments and high-volatility stress phases.
9. Cross-Market Compatibility
It can be applied on any chart (equities, indices, commodities) while referencing the same volatility index.
10. Strategic Context Filter
The script functions as a macro-volatility filter rather than a direct entry signal.
#Practical Applications
1. Options Selling Timing
High normalized VIX (>80) → favorable for short premium strategies (short puts, covered calls, strangles).
Low normalized VIX (<20) → unfavorable for premium selling.
2. Risk Management
Helps scale exposure during elevated systemic stress.
3. Volatility Regime Filtering
Improves systematic strategies by avoiding breakout trades during volatility compression or avoiding mean reversion during panic phases.
4. Market Sentiment Gauge
Acts as a proxy for fear and complacency cycles.
5. Portfolio Allocation Adjustment
Can guide shifts between defensive and risk-on positioning.
6. Event Risk Monitoring
Useful before/after macroeconomic events to assess volatility compression or expansion phases.
