Vix FIX / StochRSI Strategy

Script from: TradingViewLongTermMomentumTrend followingVolatilityMean reversion

This strategy leverages Chris Moody's Vix Fix to initiate trades. Traders can choose to enter positions through filtered or aggressive signals and engage in pyramiding on successive entry signals. Positions are exited upon a Stochastic RSI crossover above the 80 threshold. Optimized for Pine V5, it is compatible with selected futures and timeframes and includes options for both entry signal styles.
