marke  technicians Etienne Botes and Douglas Siepman introduced the vortex indicator (VI) in the January 2010 issue of the magazine Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities. Since then, this technical tool has gained traction as a reliable trend following indicator that can produce surprisingly accurate buy and sell signals.
However, it may still take a few more years of market testing and experience to fully evaluate the vortex indicator's potential. Here we take a closer look at the vortex trading strategies.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The vortex indicator is used to spot trend reversals and confirm current trends using a pair of oscillating lines.
