VixFix Indicator for cTrader

Catch Market Panic Before It Hits the News.

This VixFix indicator is a smart adaptation of Larry Williams’ classic “VIX Fix” concept—designed to help traders detect short-term fear and volatility spikes, especially useful in identifying potential market bottoms.

How It Works

  • Calculates a pseudo-volatility spike by comparing the recent low to the highest high over a configurable period (default: 12).
  • Applies a moving average and standard deviation envelope to separate signal spikes from normal noise.
  • Plots red histogram bars when volatility exceeds the threshold—your cue to start paying attention.

Features

  • Clean histogram display (non-overlay)
  • Two-color plot:
    • Red = Signal (volatility spike above threshold)
    • Gray = Normal activity
  • Adjustable periods and sensitivity factor
  • Zero indicator lag—uses raw price action only, no repainting

Use Cases

  • Spot potential reversals in downtrends
  • Time mean-reversion trades
  • Confirm oversold conditions without relying on RSI or other laggy tools
