VIX Implied Moves
Key Features:
Three Timeframe Bands:
Calculation Methodology:
Visual Features:
Example Calculation (VIX=20, ES=5000):
This indicator helps visualize expected price ranges based on current volatility conditions, with wider bands indicating higher market uncertainty. The probabilistic ranges represent 68% confidence levels (1 standard deviation) derived from options pricing.
Three Timeframe Bands:
- Daily: Blue bands showing ±1σ expected move
- Weekly: Green bands showing ±1σ expected move
- 30-Day: Red bands showing ±1σ expected move
Calculation Methodology:
- Uses VIX's annualized volatility converted to specific timeframes using square root of time rule
- Trading day convention (252 days/year)
- Band width = Price × (VIX/100) ÷ √(number of periods)
Visual Features:
- Colored semi-transparent backgrounds between bands
- Progressive line thickness (thinner for shorter timeframes)
- Real-time updates as VIX and ES prices change
Example Calculation (VIX=20, ES=5000):
- Daily move = 5000 × (20/100)/√252 ≈ ±63 points
- Weekly move = 5000 × (20/100)/√50 ≈ ±141 points
- Monthly move = 5000 × (20/100)/√21 ≈ ±218 points
This indicator helps visualize expected price ranges based on current volatility conditions, with wider bands indicating higher market uncertainty. The probabilistic ranges represent 68% confidence levels (1 standard deviation) derived from options pricing.
