Trinity VIX DashboardTrinity VIX Dashboard Indicator – Quick TradingView Guide
**Purpose**
This lightweight indicator displays the current **VIX value** + its short-term trend (based on the last 3 candles) directly on your chart.
It’s especially useful for options traders on 3–10 minute charts who want a fast visual check of volatility mood without switching symbols.
**What it shows**
- **VIX** label
- Current VIX value (with customizable background color)
- Trend direction of the last 3 candles:
- **Up ↑** (red by default)
- **Down ↓** (green by default)
- **Sideways ↔** (gray by default)
**Color logic for the VIX value**
- Below **Low Threshold** → green background (default 18)
- Above **High Threshold** → red background (default 19)
- Between the two thresholds → yellow background (neutral zone)
**How to add and use it**
1. Open TradingView → Pine Editor
2. Paste the full script (the latest version I provided)
3. Click “Add to Chart”
**Customize in Settings (Inputs tab)**
- **Table Position**
Choose where the panel appears: Top Left, Top Right, Top Middle, Bottom Right, Bottom Middle, etc. (Bottom Right is default)
- **Text Size**
Tiny / Small / Normal / Large (Normal is default)
- **VIX Low Threshold** (default 18.0)
Anything below this level gets the “low” color (usually green)
- **VIX High Threshold** (default 19.0)
Anything above this level gets the “high” color (usually red)
- **Background Colors**
- VIX < Low Threshold (green)
- VIX > High Threshold (red)
- Between thresholds (yellow)
- **Trend Colors**
- Up trend
- Down trend
- Sideways
**Practical usage tips for options trading (3–10 min charts)**
- **Low VIX (< your low threshold)** → calm market → expect smaller moves, tighter option premiums, good for selling premium or calls (long calls, credit spreads, iron condors)
- **High VIX (> your high threshold)** → fear / volatility spike → wider ranges, more expensive options, good for buying premium (long puts, debit spreads) or scalping volatility
- **Middle zone** → neutral / uncertain → avoid aggressive directional trades or wait for breakout
- Watch the **trend arrow**:
- Down arrow (green) → volatility contracting → potential mean-reversion or calm continuation
- Up arrow (red) → volatility expanding → possible panic or big move coming
**Best chart setup**
Works best on SPX, SPY, QQQ, or any major index where VIX data is reliable.
Use on lower timeframes (3–15 min) for intraday options decisions.
**Limitations**
- No resizing or dragging (Pine Script limitation) — only move via position input
- Shows only last 3 candles trend (simple but fast)
- Requires TVC:VIX data access on your chart
That’s it — a minimal, focused VIX snapshot you can glance at while trading options. Adjust thresholds to match your strategy (e.g. 15/20, 17/25, 12/30 are popular alternatives).
