$vix correlation to $spx plotted in purple over the corr($spx:$NYlow) indicator window.   Shows a similar fore warning of market pull backs to new lows in the indices.  

    The $vix and the index  new lows are completely independent data series providing similar  forewarning signals.

    I have looked back at the index new low corr with the $SPX/spy over 22 years and it generally provides  fore warnings of 1% in strong bull runs to up to 15-20% corrections.

    As with all indicators is is only a tool to combine with other signals. Not a system in itself.

    the comparison charts are cool, I hadn't played around with that before. I'm adding that to various indicators I commonly use. One thing, the default setting they use is 20 days, however for things that are extremely correlated such as QQQ vs QQQE, SPX vs SPXE you might want to use a MUCH smaller value over the default such as 5 - 8.  

    also for the VIX the perfect correlation is -1, however you can flip that by using $ONE:$VIX

    Thanks for the values. I

    Thanks for the values. I was trying a few different values. But it will take a while to vusually look back a few yeras to get a good fit. The VIX "5" is good.

    Excellent!
