Volatility based Standard Deviation and Fib. Pivot Points

The Volatility based Standard Deviation and Fib. Pivot Points indicator provides a comprehensive set of volatility-anchored support and resistance levels based on manual settlement prices and VIX data.

Usage

The Usage section focuses on how to plot dynamic volatility levels for specific trading sessions. To use this tool, the user must manually input the previous day's settlement or closing price of the asset, along with the closing value of a relevant volatility index (e.g., VIX for ES/RTY, or VXN for NQ).

• Standard Deviation Levels: These levels act as primary targets or reversal zones based on statistical volatility.
• Fibonacci Pivot Points: These provide secondary support and resistance layers calculated using Fibonacci ratios applied to the volatility-based "move."
• Multi-Asset Application: While originally designed for indices using the VIX, it can be applied to individual stocks or forex pairs by utilizing the corresponding volatility metrics.

Details

This tool implements a specific calculation for daily moves based on the "Rule of 16" (vixClose / 16) and a Z-table constant (0.0625). The standard deviation (SD) is calculated as: sd = settlementPrice * (vixClose / 100) * 0.0625

The indicator then projects multiple tiers of upper and lower deviations (ranging from 0.25 to 4.00 SD) and Fibonacci-weighted pivot points (including 23.6%, 38.2%, 61.8%, etc.). These lines remain horizontal based on the static inputs provided at the start of a session, offering a fixed roadmap for price action throughout the day.

Settings

• Settlement Price: The closing or settlement price of the instrument from the previous session.
• VIX Closing: The closing value of the Volatility Index (VIX, VXN, etc.) to be used for the volatility calculation.
