John - No, sorry, I don't have a StockCharts subscription. However, this is an interesting concept that I will watch. Since we track the NDX, we found the VXN to be of better utility than VIX, especially for shifting between a two different sets of stops. It is really rather intuitive when you think about it, but in times of high volatility, loss stops should normally be wider and profit stops tighter (i.e. you wait a little longer for the market to turn if your position is down, and if the market does offer you a decent profit, you book it before the market can take it away from you.
