The volatility index, Williams vix fix developed by Larry Williams, is a well-known index for finding market bottoms. It describes how much the current low price statistically deviates from the maximum within a given look-back period.
The inverse can be formulated by considering "how much the current high value statistically deviates from the minimum within a...
Works best as an intraday indicator
Background black & line green = Long VIX
Background black & red line = No trade
Background orange & line green = Consider selling
Background orange & line red = Short VIX
A useful measure of recent volatility. I use 50 day or 50 week periods, but you can experiment with other values too. Because it measures ranges as a % of current close it can be used to make good comparisons with other historic periods of low (or high) volatility.

Rules :
Enter upon a filtered or aggressive entry
If there are multiple entry signals, allow pyramiding
Exit when there is Stochastic RSI crossover above 80
This works great on a number of...

Give you an idea of the contango headwind / backwardation tailwind that UVXY is experiencing.
Works on Daily time frame only unless you buy the VIX feed.
Variation on idea at url below using SPYIX from BATS instead of VIX
from marketsci.wordpress.com
Aids in identifying changes in volatility direction.
EDIT: just noticed that URL is now password protected. The concept from the author is simple: use EMA and SMA smoothing of the VIX as two signal lines. When they cross you have a change in VIX direction. I...
