Yes, when the VIX closed out side of the bollinger bands
yesterday, that was a great sign. In fact, all last year that
never failed, each time you crossed outside the bollinger bands, it
gave a nice signal either for a pullback or a rally.
Here's a quick video on the VIX and bollinger bands
I'd love to write a system on this, so that I can back test it
and see the actual stats. So if someone here is bored?
would be nice to see that. Obviously doesn't give many
trades, but would be nice to see the stats
When the VIX closes outside of a the Bollinger Band and then
reverses back within the band, it represents a valid signal for the
SPX. In this case, it closed BELOW the lower BB and then
reversed back above producing a SELL SIGNAL on the SPX (at least
for the short term). The opposite is true if it closed above
and fell back within.
The SELL (for the SPX) signal DOES NOT come when you move
outside the bands since it can remain outside the bands for a few
days at times. The SELL signal came when the VIX moved back
inside the bands. Truthfully, it need to CLOSE inside the
bands for a DAILY signal.

Once this got back above the lower Bollinger Band that was another good signal. It gapped up today after showing a hollow red candle yesterday.

A good signal for the market to go down?
Or a good signal for a bounce?
