Vortex MTF Strategy

This strategy calculates the Vortex indicator on a configurable timeframe. Long positions are opened when the positive Vortex line crosses above the negative line. Short positions are opened on the opposite crossover.

Details

  • Indicator: Vortex
  • Direction: Long and short
  • Timeframe: Configurable
