Vix FIX / StochRSI Strategy by timj

vixfix chrismoody profit profitable strategy alerts vix stochasticrsi

This strategy is based off of Chris Moody's Vix Fix Indicator. I simply used his indicator and added some rules around it, specifically on entry and exits.

Rules:

Enter upon a filtered or aggressive entry
If there are multiple entry signals, allow pyramiding
Exit when there is Stochastic RSI crossover above 80

This works great on a number of stocks. I am keeping a list of stocks with decent Profit Factors and clean equity curves here.

Possible ways to use this:

Modify this script and setup alerts around the various entries
Use as is with different stocks or currency pairs
Modify entry / exit points to make it more profitable for even more symbols and currencies
