The VIX Minimum & Maximum Entry Settings allow you to control when your bot enters a trade based on the current level of the VIX (Volatility Index). This is useful for making sure you only run strategies in the type of market volatility they’re designed for.
The VIX (CBOE Volatility Index) measures expected market volatility.
High VIX = higher expected volatility (more market uncertainty).
Low VIX = lower expected volatility (more stable markets).
Different strategies perform better in different volatility environments.
Minimum VIX: The bot will only enter a trade if the VIX is greater than or equal to your set value.
Maximum VIX: The bot will only enter a trade if the VIX is less than or equal to your set value.
Both: You can set a range (e.g., only take trades when VIX is between 15 and 25).
Imagine you have two strategies:
High-Volatility Strategy
Works best when VIX is above 20.
Set a Minimum VIX = 20.
The bot will only trade if the VIX is 20 or higher.
Low-Volatility Strategy
Works best when VIX is below 18.
Set a Maximum VIX = 18.
The bot will only trade if the VIX is 18 or lower.
By combining minimum and maximum, you can target specific volatility ranges. For example, setting Min = 15 and Max = 25 ensures trades only run when VIX is between 15 and 25.
Keeps high-volatility strategies out of calm markets.
Prevents low-volatility strategies from firing during chaotic swings.
Lets you tailor bots for different market environments.
Minimum VIX = only trade if VIX is at or above your set value.
Maximum VIX = only trade if VIX is at or below your set value.
Useful for matching strategies to the right volatility conditions.
