Or did you have some formula for volatility? Just look at the Bollinger bands. They represent two standard deviations. Volatility makes them wider.

I know the bollinger bands and what they are based on. The VIX is not restricted to options. It`s also for stocks. Title: Re: Does anyone knows a btc-chart with volatility index ?

VIX is a measure of stock volatility, but it is calculated based on the options market: Quote Theoretically it is a weighted blend of prices for a range of options on the S&P 500 index.

as there doesn`t exist any options for BTC, no volatility is to be measured by that way. So I will work with the bollinger bands which I like. |
