Re: [amibroker] Market Trend Indicator

[Terry <MagicTH@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

To determine which is higher (SPX or VIX) I think youšre going to have to
normalize the SPX and the VIX to some common value or index. You can use
RelStrength to do this. I donšt have a suggestion as to what to normalize to
since the usual candidate IS the SPX.

Subject: [amibroker] Market Trend Indicator


This is where I'm at with this indicator... (see below)...

It compares price action between the $SPX and $VIX to determine the
market trend at any given moment (this is primarily for hourly
trading). I would like the price line (varSPXPrice/varVIXPrice) bar
color to reflect more information than I have here.

Right now, I have a basic buy/sell color code for the price line. I
would like to make the price line colorBrightGreen when there's a buy
signal AND the $SPX is above the $VIX. Make it colorPink for the
reverse.

I'm not sure what the best way is to determine when one index is
higher or lower the other since they are using different scales. Any
ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Bman
