The Forex Zone Spot VIX Strategy Indicator MT5 by YoForex gives you advance notice of volatility surges, plotting forward‑looking volatility zones directly on your MT5 chart.

What Is the Forex Zone Spot VIX Strategy Indicator MT5?

The Forex Zone Spot VIX Strategy Indicator MT5 is a custom MQL5 indicator designed to bring VIX‑style insights to spot forex pairs. Instead of relying solely on past price action (like ATR or Bollinger Bands), it:

  • Replicates the CBOE VIX “fear gauge” mechanics for spot FX
  • Analyzes real‑time bid/ask spread changes and tick‑level volume
  • Applies historical VIX‑spot correlations for enhanced accuracy
  • Displays two dynamic bands—Volatility Ceiling and Volatility Floor—to highlight potential breakout zones
