What it does

How Volatility Extreme reads the chart.

Imprint Volatility Extreme reads fear and greed straight from price (a two-sided Williams VIX Fix) and draws it on the price chart instead of a sub-panel you have to decode. Normal bars stay clean. When downside volatility spikes past its band, the bar gets a soft mint wash and a small up-marker below the low: capitulation, watch for a bounce. When upside volatility spikes past its band, a soft red wash and a down-marker above the high: blow-off, watch for a drop. The wash deepens the further past the band price stretched, so a glance separates a mild stretch from a true climax. No options or VIX data required. Just price, on any instrument. Display-only: it places no orders and changes no data.

FAQ

Common questions.

Does this need VIX or options data?
No. It's derived entirely from the chart's own price, so it works on any instrument NinjaTrader can chart.
Will it clutter my chart?
No. Nothing prints on normal bars. It only washes a bar's column and adds a small marker when volatility actually hits an extreme, with the color telling you which side.
