CM_Williams_Vix_Fix (v5) + Optional Inverse

CM_Williams_Vix_Fix (v5) + Optional Inverse
This indicator is a modernized Pine v5 rewrite of Larry Williams’ classic Vix Fix, with an optional inverse mode to detect both capitulation lows (buy signals) and euphoric highs (sell signals).
🔎 What It Does
Vix Fix (Buy-side): Mimics the behavior of the VIX by detecting panic/fear spikes when price makes unusually deep lows relative to recent closes.
Inverse Vix Fix (Sell-side): Flips the logic to highlight euphoric/overbought spikes when price makes unusually high prints relative to recent closes.
Works on any timeframe or instrument — originally built for stocks/futures that don’t have their own VIX.
⚙️ Inputs
LookBack Period (pd): Number of bars to check for recent highs/lows.
Bollinger Band Length (bbl): Period for volatility bands.
Std Dev Multiplier (mult): Sensitivity of the bands.
Percentile Lookback (lb, ph, pl): Optional percentile thresholds for extra filters.
Show Range Lines (hp): Toggle percentile-based high/low markers.
Show StdDev Bands (sd): Toggle Bollinger-style envelopes.
Show Inverse (Sell) Version: Plots a red histogram for euphoric tops.
📊 Plots
Green Histogram: Vix Fix (fear/panic spikes).
Red Histogram: Inverse Vix Fix (euphoria spikes, optional).
Orange Lines: Percentile-based thresholds (optional).
Aqua Lines: Bollinger-style volatility bands (optional).
🧭 How to Use
Green Spikes (Buy Vix Fix): Potential market bottoms when fear is high.
Red Spikes (Inverse): Potential market tops when greed/euphoria is high.
Works best when combined with:
Trend filters (e.g. moving averages).
Market structure tools (e.g. support/resistance, FVGs, liquidity levels).
Other volatility/volume confirmations.
⚠️ Note: This is an indicator only (not a strategy). It highlights potential extremes in sentiment/volatility, but does not provide direct buy/sell orders. Always confirm with price action and risk management.
