Updated Williams Vix Fix Bottoms and Tops - DUAL MODE
Williams Vix Fix Bottoms and Tops - DUAL MODE
This is a DUAL implementation of Williams Vix Fix that evaluates both:
- LOWS: potential downside exhaustion / bottom conditions.
- HIGHS: potential upside exhaustion / top conditions.
The goal is to combine statistical extremes with price-action confirmation and clear visual signaling.
Core calculations
LOWS mode:
WVF_LOWS = ((highest(close, pd) - low) / highest(close, pd)) * 100
HIGHS mode:
WVF_HIGHS = ((lowest(close, pd) - high) / lowest(close, pd)) * 100
For each mode, the script computes:
- statistical bands (SMA + stdev multiplier),
- percentile thresholds (lb with ph/pl),
- extreme-state conditions,
- and price-action/context filters (ltLB, mtLB, str).
Signals and bar coloring
Bars can be highlighted by 5 classes:
- Aggressive
- Filtered
- Entry
- Above Lines
- All Bars
In DUAL mode, LOWS and HIGHS are processed together with signal-priority layering to keep chart reading consistent.
Histogram and lines
- LOWS histogram: “Extreme” color in extreme conditions, “Normal” otherwise.
- HIGHS histogram: “Extreme” color in extreme conditions, “Normal” otherwise.
- Optional lines for statistical bands and percentile ranges.
Alerts
Includes:
- Williams Green Bar (LOWS)
- Williams Green Bar (HIGHS)
GreenBarLookBack controls lookback/consecutive logic for alert triggering.
How to use
- Tune parameters per symbol/timeframe.
- Use signals with structure confirmation and risk management.
- This is a decision-support tool, not a guaranteed-profit system.
Open-source reuse and credits
This script is based on the open-source indicator:
“Williams Vix Fix Bottoms and Tops” by theehoganator
Source:
This version adds and/or changes:
1) Dual simultaneous processing of LOWS and HIGHS.
2) Distinct visual logic for LOWS/HIGHS extremes and normal states.
3) Layered bar-color priority for signal classes.
4) Green-bar alert logic with configurable lookback.
5) Input/layout and signal presentation refinements.
Limitations
- Reversal signals can be early in strong trends.
- Behavior depends on volatility regime.
- Risk management is required.

Release Notes
Fixed the 'Flip Indicator' functionality.It now correctly inverts the histogram/indicator plot without affecting the signal logic.
