<x-rich>I went to the Equis web site, I could not find any indicator with the
name VIX. What is the full name of this indicator, and what do the lettes
VIX mean.

<excerpt>Hello,

  

I'm trying to understand how to interpret Modified VIX numerically, since
I don't have access to the TASC April 1995 article. The formula I have
from the Metastock website is as follows:

  

(((P - Mov(P,15,E))/Mov(P,15,E))*(100*33*2))*(Sqrt(252)/Sqrt(15)/C)

  

This implies the foll:

  

1. Difference between today's VIX indicator value and 15 period
exponential moving average of VIX is divided by the 15 period EMA of the
VIX.

2. The quotient is multiplied by 100 (probably a percentage function),
then by 33 (what would this be? and by 2 (again, what would this be?)

3. Sqrt 252 and Sqrt 15 are calculations for deviations around mean
values of VIX and the 15 period EMA; these are divided by today's closing
value of OEX.

  

2 is multiplied by 3.

  

I would appreciate if someone could help out here, either email a
clarification or fax the article @ 212-594-1913.

  

Thanks a lot!

  

Gitanshu Buch
