Frequently Asked Questions
General
What is VRTX™?
VRTX™ is a professional trading analysis tool developed to help traders analyse market conditions using multiple technical indicators in one easy-to-read dashboard. Rather than relying on a single indicator, VRTX combines several technical factors to help identify higher-probability trading opportunities.
VRTX™ is an analysis tool. It does not place trades automatically or make trading decisions on your behalf.
Who is VRTX™ designed for?
VRTX™ is suitable for traders of all experience levels.
Whether you’re learning technical analysis for the first time or you’re an experienced trader looking for additional confirmation, VRTX™ is designed to simplify market analysis while allowing you to remain in complete control of every trading decision.
Does VRTX™ place trades automatically?
No.
VRTX™ is not an automated trading robot (EA). It does not execute trades, manage your account or make decisions for you.
Every trade remains your responsibility.
Can beginners use VRTX™?
Yes.
VRTX™ was designed to simplify technical analysis, but like any professional trading tool, beginners should first learn how the system works before risking real money.
We strongly recommend practising on a demo account until you’re comfortable using the rules consistently.
Which markets can I use VRTX™ on?
VRTX™ can be used across multiple financial markets, including:
- Forex
- Indices
- Commodities
- Cryptocurrencies
- Stocks (where supported by your trading platform)
Which timeframes work best?
VRTX™ can be used on multiple timeframes.
Many traders prefer using the higher timeframes to identify the overall market direction before looking for opportunities on lower timeframes.
Understanding the Dashboard
Does every signal mean I should enter a trade?
No.
A signal is only one part of the trading process.
Before entering any trade, all required confirmation rules should be met. The purpose of the system is to encourage discipline and consistency—not frequent trading.
What does "NO TRADE (SIDEWAYS) mean?
When the dashboard displays NO TRADE (SIDEWAYS), market conditions are considered unsuitable for entering a trade.
The system is designed to keep traders out of low-probability market conditions where price is moving sideways rather than trending.
The correct action is simply to wait for better conditions.
What does the Long/Short Probability percentage mean?
The Long and Short Probability values represent the strength of the current technical setup based on the indicator’s internal calculations.
Higher probability values indicate stronger technical alignment, but probability should never be used on its own. It forms part of the overall confirmation process.
What is confluence?
Confluence simply means that multiple technical conditions agree with one another.
VRTX™ encourages traders to wait until several pieces of evidence support the same trade before entering the market rather than relying on a single indicator.
Why is patience important?
One of the biggest mistakes traders make is forcing trades.
VRTX™ is designed to help traders wait for quality opportunities rather than taking every possible setup.
Often the best trade is the one you never take.
Entering Trades
When should I enter a trade?
A trade should only be considered when the system produces a valid entry signal and all required confirmation rules are satisfied.
Entering before or after the signal increases the likelihood of taking lower-quality trades.
What if I miss a signal?
Don’t chase the market.
If you miss a valid entry, simply wait for the next opportunity.
Successful trading is about consistency, not catching every move.
Do I need a liquidity sweep before every trade?
No.
A liquidity sweep can provide additional confirmation, but it is not a requirement for every setup.
It should never contradict the direction of your trade.
Risk Management
How much should I risk per trade?
Risk management is one of the most important parts of trading.
The VRTX rules recommend risking only a small, consistent percentage of your trading account on each trade rather than increasing risk based on confidence or emotion.
Where should I place my stop loss?
Your stop loss should be determined before entering the trade.
VRTX™ recommends placing stops using logical market structure rather than choosing arbitrary price levels.
Can I move my stop loss?
Once your stop loss has been placed, it should never be moved further away from your entry.
You may reduce risk by tightening your stop, but increasing your risk after entering a trade goes against the trading rules.
How do I determine my position size?
Your stop loss should always be determined first.
Only then should you calculate the appropriate position size based on the amount of capital you are prepared to risk.
Managing Trades
When should I exit a trade?
A trade should be closed when your planned target is reached, your stop loss is triggered, or the system produces an exit signal.
Following a consistent exit strategy is just as important as following your entry rules.
Should I ignore an exit signal?
No.
Ignoring an exit signal because you hope the market will reverse introduces emotion into the trading process and goes against the rule-based approach used by VRTX™.
What if the market turns sideways during my trade?
If market conditions change while you are already in a position, you should manage your trade according to your trading plan.
The VRTX rules recommend tightening your stop loss or considering partial profit-taking when the market loses its trend.
Trading Discipline
Should I trade during major news events?
High-impact economic news can create significant market volatility.
Unless your trading plan specifically accounts for these events, it is generally better to avoid entering new trades around major announcements.
Should I keep a trading journal?
Yes.
Keeping a detailed trading journal helps you identify patterns, review your decisions and improve your consistency over time
Is every losing trade a bad trade?
No.
If you followed every rule correctly, a losing trade is simply part of trading.
Breaking your rules and making money is actually more harmful in the long run because it encourages poor habits.
VRTX Heavy
Why didn't an arrow appear?
In VRTX Heavy, a trade only exists when a valid Long or Short arrow is printed.
If there is no arrow, there is no trade, regardless of how attractive the chart may appear.
Why is there an arrow but no valid trade?
The printed arrow is only one part of the confirmation process.
The Wave System must also agree with the direction of the trade. If it doesn’t, the setup should be ignored.
What does PAUSE/END mean?
The PAUSE/END tag is an exhaustion warning.
When it appears near a potential trade, the setup should generally be avoided because market momentum may already be running out.
Why must multiple rules be satisfied before entering?
VRTX™ is designed around confirmation rather than prediction.
Requiring multiple technical conditions to align helps filter out weaker setups and encourages traders to focus on higher-quality opportunities instead of trading every market movement.
