The [CBOE Volatility Index](http://www.cboe.com/products/vix-index-volatility/vix-options-and-futures/vix-index) (Ticker: [VIX](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/%5EVIX?p=^VIX)) is a well known  measure of the stock market's expectation of volatility implied by S&P 500 index options.

The problem with the VIX is that its available for a very limited number of indicies. There are a few *Synthetic VIX* indicators out there, invluding [Larry William's VIX Fix](https://www.ireallytrade.com/newsletters/VIXFix.pdf)
(which probably is the most famous attempt) and [this by PJ Sutherland](https://blog.sutherlandresearch.com/index.php/2017/05/27/engineering-a-synthetic-volatility-index/).

I've beem using my own version of the Synthetic VIX for a while (based of the work of the above links)
for Crypto Currencies (read Bitcoin) trading which great success, and I tought others can benefit from my work.

So over the weekend I've put up together a small website called [**CCVIX**](http://ccvix.com) (Crypto Currencies Volatility Index)
that shows the "VIX" for leading crypto-currencies, which I hope people will find useful.

The **CCVIX**  calculates the expectation of volatility implied by daily price changes on an hourly basis, and is used as a measure of market risk.
