Understanding Vortex Indicator in Pocket Option

Vertex indicator is a technical analysis tool that can be used to find the upcoming trends and reversals of security. This indicator is made from the composition of the four most important components namely the Positive Vortex Indicator (+VI), the Negative Vortex Indicator (-VI) , True Range (TR) and Directional Movement (DM). The concept of the True Range (TR) and Directional Movement (DM) is used to find the Positive Vortex Indicator (+VI) and the Negative Vortex Indicator (-VI) via which we can identify the trends & reversals.

How to use the Vortex indicator on the Pocket Option?

In order to understand the concept of the Vortex Indicator properly,  you need to first the Positive Vortex Indicator +VI line and Negative Vortex Indicator line -VI.

The +VI ( Positive Vortex Indicator) is calculated by measuring the difference between the current high and the previous low, and the difference between the current low and the previous low. these values are then added together and divided by the True range of the current period. and the resulting value is then multiplied by 100.

Similarly, -VI (Negative Vortex Indicator) is calculated by measuring the difference between the current high and the previous high with the addition of the difference between the current low and the previous high. these values are then added together and divided by the True Range of the current period and the resulting values is then multiplied by 100.

The formula for Positive Vortex Indicator and Negative  Vortex Indicator is as follows:

+VI ( Positive Vortex Indicator) = [(Current high – Previous low) + (Current low – Previous low)] / TR x 100

-VI (Negative Vortex Indicator) = [(Current high – Previous high) + (Current low – Previous high)] / TR x 100

Placing trades using the Positive and Negative Vortex Indicator

You can use the above two lines to identify the upcoming bullish and bearish trends. when the +VI and -VI lines intersect each other it generates the possible buy and sell trends.

When the +VI and -VI lines intersect each other and the +VI line intersects above the -VI line. It indicates a possible trend reversal from bearish to bullish. so,  here you can consider placing a buy trade.

Similarly, When the +VI and -VI lines intersect each other and the +VI line intersects below the -VI line. It indicates a possible trend reversal from bullish to bearish. and here you can consider placing a sell trade.
