Is something big coming?
If you don't know about the VIX, why are you trading?
It's an index of volatility in the S&P500. But.. but.. hold on. What happens in the S&P500 affects loads of other things, like key forex pairs e.g. AUD, NZD, JPY, USD
It won't tell you about entry and exit points in your trades. But it could tell you when markets are very volatile.
Wait - aren't traders supposed to love volatility? Well, yes and no. There are basically two types of traders:
1 - those who know how to exploit volatility with sound strategies
2 - those who fear volatility and are basically gambling.
I'm not saying anything about any trader who reads this. What I am saying is, "Get develop the skills to exploit volatility."
So what does the chart show. It's showing that the Vix is wild and that every few months, it goes into a frenzy. I don't expect the Vix to have a regular interval. If that was the case then 'everybody' would wait for the right time and make a killing in the markets.
I'm saying that the last long run of lowish volatility may herald a new round, as folk get shaken out or make millions.
