The VIX Intraday % Entry Settings let you control when your bot enters a trade based on the percentage movement of the VIX during the current trading day. Instead of looking at the absolute VIX level, this rule measures how much the VIX has changed from the market open to the current price.
Intraday % Change = (Current VIX – Opening VIX) ÷ Opening VIX × 100
A positive value means VIX has increased since the open.
A negative value means VIX has decreased since the open.
This helps you capture opportunities during days when volatility is moving quickly, even if the absolute VIX level is not high or low.
Minimum %: The bot will only trade if the intraday change is greater than or equal to your set percentage.
Maximum %: The bot will only trade if the intraday change is less than or equal to your set percentage.
Both: You can define a range for acceptable VIX movement.
Percentages must be entered as whole numbers. Example: 2% = 2.
Breakout Strategy
You only want trades when volatility is surging intraday.
Set Minimum Intraday % = 3.
If VIX is up +3% or more from the open, your bot can enter.
Calm Market Strategy
Works best when volatility is stable or cooling off.
Set Maximum Intraday % = 1.
If VIX is up +1% or less from the open, your bot can enter.
By combining min and max, you can ensure trades only run when VIX is moving within your preferred range.
Captures daily volatility swings, not just overall levels.
Lets you trade differently on volatile days vs. calm days.
Helps filter out bad entries when the market is shifting unexpectedly.
VIX Intraday % = change in VIX from market open to now.
Min % ensures the bot only trades if volatility moves enough upward.
Max % ensures the bot only trades if volatility hasn’t moved too much.
Great for tailoring strategies to daily market conditions.
