Add VIX (volatility index indicator)
The VIX index measures the implied volatility of S&P 500 index calls and options. It's known as the fear gauge since its value rises at times of increasing volatility. As a volatility-specific hedge, investors can utilize ETFs that track the VIX to go long on the VIX.
