StockSharp.Strategies.0037_VIX_Trigger

VIX Trigger (C# Version)

VIX Trigger reacts to changes in the Volatility Index. A rising VIX signals fear and possible reversals in the underlying instrument. The strategy compares VIX direction with price relative to a moving average.

When VIX increases and price is below the moving average, it buys expecting a recovery. Conversely, rising VIX with price above the average invites a short position.

Positions close when VIX falls or the stop-loss percentage is reached.
