Vix index

[Massa trader]

$evz fx vix index . Is this just for the $/euro volitility index or can you use this to gauge volitility on major and minor currencies.

That index ($EVZ or Euro VIX) measures solely EUR/USD volatility and is based on exchange traded options on EUR/USD. Of course, you could try to gauge wider market volatility based on EUR/USD volatility, but that wouldn't be very accurate.
