Vix Jump for Selling Puts or Buying Calls 

S&P 500 IndexTVC

Description

This script aims to identify optimal times when to write Puts for premium, for example using the SPX Weeklies model or simply buying Calls. Not perfect but provides some additional confidence when playing Puts on SPX or the Wheel on SPY.
What it does:
We compare current VIX with a lookback VIX for X% delta. If there is a jump of say 20% over a defined period then that would indicate an opportunity to sell Puts, run a straddle or buy Calls. We use VVIX as a check to stop to many false positives ie VVIX falls of faster than VIX.
You can also use this loosely as a bottom finder.

Looks very interesting. Can you explain what you mean by using the VVIX to filter out signals? I do see that you get a fair number of false signals.

@tedkim333, Daily assessment with a three day look back. You could adjust the code for a faster result however you would get more false positives.
