Headline: Darwin Vix Fix - Dual: The 360° Volatility Hunter
Why settle for half the picture?

The classic Williams Vix Fix (WVF) is a legendary tool for finding market bottoms by creating a synthetic "Fear Index" from price action. But markets don't just crash down—they also melt up.

Darwin Vix Fix - Dual evolves the classic formula by adding a proprietary "Flipped" engine. It monitors Downside Volatility (Fear) and Upside Volatility (Greed) simultaneously, giving you a complete 360-degree view of market extremes.

🔥 KEY FEATURES
1. Dual-Core Volatility Engine
The Classic (Top Histogram): Calculates the standard synthetic VIX based on recent Highs vs. Lows. This detects panic selling and potential Market Bottoms.

The Inverted (Bottom Histogram): Applies a reverse logic to detect euphoric buying. This creates a mirrored synthetic VIX that hunts for Market Tops.

2. Dynamic "Statistical Extreme" Detection
This is not a static overbought/oversold indicator. It uses two dynamic methods to identify when volatility has reached a critical tipping point:

Bollinger Band Volatility: Checks if the current VIX value is piercing the upper standard deviation band.

Percentile Ranges: Checks if the current value is in the highest percentile of the lookback period.

3. Smart Color Coding
No guesswork required. The histogram automatically changes color when a statistical extreme is detected:

Top (Fear): turns Fuchsia when the market is terrified (Potential Buy Zone).

Bottom (Greed): turns Lime Green when the market is euphoric (Potential Sell Zone).

🚀 HOW TO USE
1. Finding Bottoms (Long Entries)

Watch the Top Histogram.

When you see a tall Fuchsia spike, it indicates that price has dropped rapidly relative to recent highs. This "Fear Spike" often marks the capitulation point before a bounce.

2. Finding Tops (Short Entries)

Watch the Bottom Histogram (below the zero line).

When you see a deep Lime Green spike, it indicates that price has rallied rapidly relative to recent lows. This "Greed Spike" often marks exhaustion before a pullback.

3. Assessing Market State

Gray/Silver Bars: Indicate "Neutral" volatility. The market is ranging or trending normally without extreme emotion.

Tall Bars: High Volatility.

Short Bars: Low Volatility (Squeeze potential).
