  VIX
  Hi Clyde,
   
  I'm not sure that this idea is ready for 
  that.  I was thinking more along the lines of something simpler to 
  begin with and explore the VIX's value as an indicator for the QQQ's.  
  For example buying the QQQ's when VIX > 40 and shorting the 
  QQQ's when VIX < 28 (or what ever values back testing may show to 
  have value).
   
  Since I don't have Trade Station, I don't know 
  how easy or difficult it is to create a buy/sell signal in one index 
  (QQQ's) based on the value of another index (VIX).  If that is 
  possible the next step would be to explore exit strategies.  Since the 
  VIX can be neutral for long periods, a stop and reverse strategy would 
  not (consistently) work.  Also, since the VIX can stay above or below a 
  given level for days (or weeks), trailing stops might take out a position just 
  before it moves in the anticipated direction.
   
  Any thoughts or comments are 
welcome.
   
  Good luck and good trading,
   
  Ray Raffurty

    Here are some pictures going back to 
    9/2000.
     
    Without doing some linear trend adjusting it is 
    tough to get these
    things so they will scale to a point for 
    comparison.
     
    I believe that if anything the QQQ is leading 
    or concurrent with
    the VIX which is EXACTLY what I would 
    expect.

      Hi All RT's,
       
      I was struck by the high correlation between 
      the VIX and the QQQ's.  I wasn't looking for it and only posted the 
      QQQ's as an after thought.  During the last 6 months (shown) the VIX 
      has been a LEADING indicator of the QQQ's..  This may be because of 
      the popularity of the QQQ's with "amateur" traders who may be subject to 
      greater pressures from fear and greed.
       
      Unfortunately I do not have software or 
      enough data to back test his hypothesis and was hoping someone with the 
      time and wherewithal would do it, to confirm or refute.
       
      Thanks in advance,
       
      Ray Raffurty

        You can get charts of VIX in various time 
        frames for free at <A 
        href="">http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com
         
        The first chart is the VIX alone to create 
        is go to the web site above, enter the symbol VIX and click "Interactive 
        Charts".  You man need to turn off some default settings to get a 
        clean chart.
         
        The second chart is SPX compared to 
        VIX.  Go to the web site above, enter the symbol SPX and click 
        "Interactive Charts".  Turn off any defaults and enter "Compare To" 
        "Symbol" VIX .
         
        
        The third chart is NDX compared to 
        VIX.  Go to the web site above, enter the symbol NDX and click 
        "Interactive Charts".  Turn off any defaults and enter "Compare To" 
        "Symbol" VIX.
         
        
        The last, and perhaps most 
        interesting, chart is QQQ compared to VIX.  Go to the web 
        site above, enter the symbol QQQ and click "Interactive 
        Charts".  Turn off any defaults and enter "Compare To" "Symbol" VIX 
        .
         
        As you may know VIX is a contraireian indicator and is mostly 
        neutral right now.
         
        Hope this helps.
         
        Good luck and good trading,

          Hi,
           
          Anyone what the VIX is saying right now 
          on S&P, Nasdaq ?
          Are we at a top or bottom ?
          Also while we on the subject what data 
          and software can you use to work it out ?
          Are there any sites that regularly show 
          updates and charts on the VIX index ?
           
          ThanksTo
