VVIX/VIX ratio gives excellent buy/sell signals

    $VVIX:$VIX - Chart Link when it is outside the upper Bollinger Bands sell signals

    Below lower Bollinger Bands, buy signal

    notice it was outside the upper Bollinger Bands on Wed and Thursday, thus giving an early warning. 

    The VIX itself was NOT outside the Bollinger Bands, so this is another VIX type tool

    On a related note, $VVIX

    On a related note, $VVIX closed above the upper band on Friday. Just a warning signal. Can stay above multiple days.

    I really like the ratio of the two however, VVIX/VIX, great tool in addition to only looking at the VIX or VVIX alone

    I follow that ratio closely

    I follow that ratio closely on multiple timeframes. It is one of my primary indicators, especially with some indicator configurations thrown onto it

    Without answering your question directly, I would say follow the ratio yourself for a while. I've been watching it for two to three years. See how it fits into your trading style. That's what I had to figure out. I will say that the Bollinger Bands are useful in the same way as Matt talks about them on the daily ratio. But again, you have to get to know it.
