Stay ahead of every market move with real-time CBOE Volatility Index tracking, instant panic level alerts, and the full upcoming earnings schedule - all in one beautifully designed app. LIVE VIX DATA Volatility Radar pulls the live CBOE VIX index directly from the market and refreshes it every 60 seconds. See the current value, point change, and percentage move at a glance. Know exactly where market fear stands the moment you open the app. MARKET PANIC LEVELS The VIX doesn't just move - it signals. Volatility Radar translates the raw number into five clear market conditions. - Regular (VIX less 30) - Markets are calm - High Fear (30-40) - Investors are getting cautious - Extreme Panic (40-50) - High volatility, risk management critical - Capitulation (50-80) - Aggressive selling, sharp reversals possible - Historic Crisis (80 and more) - Systemic risk, unprecedented conditions The entire interface reacts dynamically - background gradients shift from green to orange to red to deep purple as fear escalates, giving you an instant visual read on market conditions. INSTANT ALERTS Enable market alerts and get notified the moment the panic level changes. Whether fear is rising or calm is returning, you'll know before most traders do. EARNINGS SCHEDULE Track the next 7 days of US earnings reports - company name, ticker, report timing (before open, after close, during market), and estimated EPS. Never be caught off guard by a major earnings move again. MARKET STATUS See at a glance whether US equity markets are currently open or closed, updated in real time based on NYSE trading hours. BUILT FOR SPEED Auto-refresh runs silently in the background every minute. Pull to refresh anytime for an instant update. Clean, dark interface designed for fast reading in any lighting condition.
