1. The Liquid-Market Volume Proxy Distinction

The Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) is a mathematical index computed from options strips; it does not have a native share-trading volume. S&P 500 index points are likewise non-traded. When volume bars appear on our animations, they are explicitly labeled as the SPY ETF volume proxy to represent market liquidity truthfully without implying direct index trading.
