This script uses the VIX spike method timwest found, it can be applied to any equity (in the daily timeframe) that fall with VIX spikes. (see )
What the script essentially does is looking for a VIX spike higher than certain points - and the following retracement to a certain % level. Then it draws the midline between the lowest price during the spike and the price at the retracement as a hidden market level. The thickness of the line is adjusted to the size of the VIX spike.
In the settings you can adjust: - the length of the line - if there should be labels to label the characteristic bars for the VIX spike (minimum, confirmation, maximum and retracement) - if there should be triangles at the chart to show the lowest and highest price during the spike - if there should be sidelines at the lowest and highest price - the length of these sidelines
Release Notes
I upgraded the script: - If there is no dip in the equity while VIX spikes (and instead the lowest price bar is at the bar of the VIX retracement), the level line now is DASHED - it's maybe not a real VIX retracement level... - You can now choose between different line colors. - You can now set a "minimum line size" for better visibility
