OPEN-SOURCE SCRIPT
Cross Asset Volatility
This script brings together a number of volatility indexes from the CBOE in one space making it easier to use rather than adding a number of different securities to one chart. One could create a template with these securities attached, but sometimes, you don't want to switch charts, for whatever reason, and adding an indicator for is quick and simple.
One note is that due some securities exhibit much larger volatility than others (i.e. oil vs bonds) and it can be difficult to see clearly those securities whose volatilities are low, and hence we have added the ability to calculate the values as a Log value to make the indicator more readable. Another way to do this is to change the Y-axis on the chart to Logarithmic while leaving the indicator at its default settings (i.e. the checkbox for using Log calculations remains unchecked).
