Vortex Indicator
Two lines (VI+ and VI−) that compare upward and downward movement to find the start of trends.
L’idée en termes simples
In an uptrend today's high is far from yesterday's low; in a downtrend today's low is far from yesterday's high. Vortex sums those distances and compares them.
Mode de calcul
VM+ = |high − previous low|, VM− = |low − previous high|. Over N candles, VI+ = ΣVM+ ÷ ΣTR and VI− = ΣVM− ÷ ΣTR.
VI+ = Σ|H − L₋₁| ÷ ΣTR, VI− = Σ|L − H₋₁| ÷ ΣTR (N = 14)Comment l’utiliser
- VI+ crossing above VI−: a possible start of an uptrend; the reverse for downtrends.
Tirer des conclusions
- The wider apart the lines, the stronger the trend.
Exemple
SOLUSD H4: VI+ rises from 0.92 to 1.15 and crosses VI− at 0.95; momentum has turned up.

Points de vigilance
- Frequent crosses in flat markets.
Un peu d’histoire
Introduced by Etienne Botes and Douglas Siepman in 2010, inspired by Viktor Schauberger's studies of vortices in water.
