How to create 1/vix indicator?

[rc5781]

I asked if plotting 1/vix was possible before and was told that the only was to do this was to create and indicator.

I have no idea where to start to do this. Is there any way you can get me started or point me in the right direction?

You would need to create a multi-instrument strategy. Use the Add() to add the ^VIX instrument. Then you would need to create yourself a new DataSeries and set its value to be 1/Close[0] of the VIX.

at what point do i use add() to add the vix? the first thing i see when creating a new strategy is "user defined inputs"

You cannot do this in the Strategy Wizard. It will require custom programming. You add it in the Initialize() method.
