"I'll be back" and guess what? Yes, Arnold is back. Again, I might add. Anyway, the nickname "Governator" came into my head when I was introduced to the following neat indicator: Vixenator (thanks mr. T!).
But before introducing the Vixenator, I'd like to thank all my visitors for 50,000+ pageviews and their continuous support!
The original indicator was scripted some 4 years ago by "
Osikani" and it compares the value of the VIX to the Implied Volatility of the SPX. What is Implied Volatility (IV)? In TOS speach:
Implied volatility is an estimate of the volatility of the underlying
stock that is derived from the market value of an option. Implied
volatility is the volatility number that, if plugged into a theoretical
pricing model along with all the other inputs, would yield a theoretical
value of an option equal to the market price of the same option.

As "Osikani" put it: "Put it on a daily chart (the only chart on which it will plot), and see
how it calls the market direction quite well: VIX above IV of SPX is a
falling market; and the converse."
