24# Forex Vector Trading System MT4

Forex Vector is a trend momentum strategy for MT4 platform.

1. Initial Setup

Platform: MT4 (MetaTrader 4)
Indicator: Forex VECTOR Indicator
Assets: Forex pairs (but can be extended to indices, stocks, commodities, cryptocurrencies)
Time Frame: Can be used on any time frame (1 minute to 1 month), but adjust it according to your trading style (scalping, day trading, or swing trading).

2. Mode Selection

Normal Mode: Recommended for most traders, especially beginners. It generates balanced signals with a medium risk-to-reward ratio. This is ideal for day trading or swing trading.
Fast Mode: This is for more experienced traders or scalpers. It produces faster signals with a higher risk-to-reward ratio. Use this mode if you prefer quick trades and are comfortable managing the increased risk.

3. Signal Interpretation

BUY Signal: The Forex VECTOR Indicator will show a clear "BUY" alert when it detects a potential upward trend.
SELL Signal: Similarly, it will give a "SELL" alert when it identifies a possible downward movement.
Alerts: The indicator can be set to notify you via email, SMS, or platform pop-ups, which allows you to monitor multiple assets simultaneously without having to stay glued to the screen.

4. Entry Rules

BUY Trade:
- Wait for a BUY signal from the Forex VECTOR Indicator.
- Confirm the signal using your additional analysis (optional but recommended) such as checking for strong support levels, moving averages, or any other indicator you prefer.
- Enter the trade on the next candle after the BUY signal.
SELL Trade:
- Wait for a SELL signal from the indicator.
- Confirm the SELL signal with additional analysis (e.g., strong resistance level, trendline break, etc.).
- Enter the trade on the next candle after the SELL signal.

5. Exit Rules

Take Profit (TP): Set a target depending on your risk-to-reward ratio.
- Normal Mode: Aim for a 1:2 or 1:3 risk-to-reward ratio.
- Fast Mode: Due to higher signal frequency, a tighter TP (1:1.5 or 1:2) can be considered.
Stop Loss (SL):
- Place your SL just below the recent support for a BUY trade, or just above the resistance for a SELL trade.
- Alternatively, set the SL at a fixed percentage of your position size based on your risk tolerance.

6. Risk Management

Position Sizing: Risk only 1-2% of your total capital on each trade. Adjust your lot size accordingly to ensure that your SL does not exceed this percentage.
Trailing Stop: For stronger trends, use a trailing stop to lock in profits as the price moves in your favor.

7. Additional Filters (Optional but Recommended)

Trend Confirmation: Use a trend indicator like Moving Averages (MA) to confirm the overall trend direction before taking trades.
- Only take BUY signals when the price is above the 200-period MA (uptrend).
- Only take SELL signals when the price is below the 200-period MA (downtrend).
Support and Resistance: Incorporate support and resistance levels into your analysis to increase the accuracy of entries and exits.

8. Time Frame Selection

Scalping: Use the Fast Mode on 1- to 5-minute charts.
Day Trading: Use Normal Mode on 15-minute to 1-hour charts.
Swing Trading: Use Normal Mode on 4-hour to daily charts.
