Separately Configuring Long and Short Vortex Indicator Systems

Summary

This Expert Advisor contains two Vortex Indicator trading systems, one for long trades and one for short trades. Each side has its own settings, including a distinct magic number and position-sizing method, and can be enabled or disabled independently. The document argues that rising and falling markets may call for different settings, and recommends tuning each side separately before running both together. This setup makes it possible to compare symmetric configurations with configurations tailored to each direction.

The material refers to a 2017 EURJPY H12 test and shows examples of trades under symmetric and asymmetric settings. It says the displayed tests used default inputs and no stop loss or take profit, but gives no numerical performance measures or risk analysis. Results from that one test context cannot establish that the strategy will work elsewhere. The EA also depends on a separately installed Vortex Indicator file.

Key ideas

• The EA runs independent long and short systems based on Vortex Indicator signals.
• Long and short inputs, including position sizing, can be configured separately.
• The document recommends testing each direction with the other disabled before combining them.
• A 2017 EURJPY H12 test is referenced, with symmetric and asymmetric settings illustrated.
• The reported test setup omitted stop loss and take profit and gives no numerical performance statistics.
