OPEN-SOURCE SCRIPT
VIX Fix Indicator (Hestla 2015)

This script provides a streamlined version of the VIX Fix, referencing the foundational work of Larry Williams and the strategies of Amber Hestla. It serves as a synthetic volatility gauge for assets that lack a dedicated VIX index. The math works by measuring the percentage drop from the highest recent close to the current low, essentially quantifying fear in the market without needing options data.
This specific script is designed to be purely visual. I have removed all the buy and sell labels found in other versions to leave a clean pane that plots only the oscillator and its moving average. You can use this to identify potential market bottoms when the black line spikes significantly, signaling that selling pressure is reaching a mathematical extreme relative to the recent trend.
