Customize Your Setup for Maximum Insight

Easily fine-tune the indicator to match your trading strategy by setting the desired values for Low VIX Level and High VIX Level thresholds. Additionally, adjust the VIX Scale Factor to precisely control the height and visualization of the VIX line in the lower panel.

How to Read Breakout & Consolidation Signals

• Breakout Alert (High Volatility): When the VIX line breaks strongly above the High VIX Level AND is accompanied by high volume (indicated by the High Volume histogram), this confirms extreme fear/greed and signals a high-probability market breakout.
• Consolidation Signal (Low Volatility): When the VIX line falls below the Low VIX Level, it often indicates a period of market calm, tight consolidation, or potential mean-reversion — ideal for preparing your next move or scaling back risk.
• Volume Insights: The indicator plots High Volume (Green) and Low Volume (Red) histograms in the background, allowing you to instantly gauge the liquidity and conviction behind the current price action.
