VIX Algorithm Trading Analysis Tool

£1,250.00

The VIX Algorithm is an educational trading tool designed to analyze the Volatility Index (VIX). The VIX represents the market’s expectations for volatility in the S&P 500 Index. Traders use the VIX to assess the level of risk, fear, or stress in the market when making trading decisions.

The VIX algorithm, developed by Samuel Leach and the Samuel & Co Trading team, uses various technical factors and mathematical calculations to analyze potential directional movements in the VIX. The algorithm is programmed to monitor VIX levels and execute trades based on your configured parameters and entry criteria. The strategy logic includes position management rules that adjust based on changing market conditions.Important: This tool is designed for educational purposes and practice trading on demo accounts. It can be used on live accounts at your own discretion and risk. This tool does not guarantee profits, predict market movements with certainty, or eliminate trading risks. All trading involves substantial risk of loss.
