Vx2!

Contango/Backwardation Monitor This is an indicator to display the spread difference between two products. I designed it around VX1! and VX2! but any other two products can be chosen. It is a simple subtraction of VX2-VX1. I will go through the options first and what they do followed by what contango/backwardation is in my own words. You will need the data package for VX futures for the default version to work. INPUTS -Apply Smoothing: choose to apply smoothing or not. -Smoothing Method: choose between SMA,EMA,WMA, etc. -Line Width: Width of line if line is chosen style(can be changed in style section) -Threshold 1-5: This is the level at which the line will change colors(defaults are for VX) -Color 1-5: The color the line will change to when crossing threshold. Towards Backwardation: Background color change when line is slanted down Towards Contango: Background color change when line is slanted up Bars to Confirm Trend: This is my method to cut down on background color changes. It is how many bars consecutive going back needed to change color. STYLE -All colors and whatnot can be changed here(threshold colors can be changed here or on the input page). T1 Line-T5 line: These are simple horizontal lines that can be used to denote threshold areas or whatever you want. Contango/Backwardation-These terms are used mostly with futures to define the calendar spread between two contracts. Contango is when that spread is is getting longer and backwardation is when that spread is closing. In terms of VIX futures, Contango would imply that volatility is stabilizing and the S and P will likely gain. Backwardation, woudl eb the opposite. The most simple way to read this indicator with default settings- If the line is up, red, and the background is red, then you can assume S and P prices are going down. And if the opposite is true, then prices are likely going up. Please feel free to ask any questions and I will do my best to answer them.
