Vortex Signals [Gabremoku]Vortex Signals is a reworked version of the classic Vortex Indicator designed to make directional shifts easier to read and less reactive than raw crossover-based interpretations.
Instead of treating every VI+ / VI- crossover as a direct trading signal, this script uses the Vortex lines as a regime detector first, then looks for signal quality through spread expansion and re-activation after a pullback. The goal is to reduce the noisy sequence of repeated entries and exits that often appears when the standard Vortex is used on its own.
What the script does:
Plots the classic Vortex components, VI+ and VI-.
Fills the space between the two lines with a dynamic gradient that reflects which side is dominant and how strong the current spread is.
Detects bullish and bearish dominance regimes.
Uses a signal engine based on regime change, spread expansion, and first valid continuation after weakening.
Prints compact chart markers for LONG, SHORT, and CLOSE events.
Includes a dashboard to show current state, sequence status, setup condition, spread, slope, and directional bias.
How it works:
Regime: the script first determines whether VI+ is above VI- or VI- is above VI+.
Spread: it measures the distance between the two Vortex lines to evaluate whether dominance is meaningful or weak.
Expansion: a regime becomes more relevant when the spread rises above its short baseline and continues widening.
Trigger logic: instead of firing on every crossover, the script waits for either an early valid impulse after regime change or the first useful re-expansion after a pullback inside the same regime.
Why this is different from the classic Vortex:
The built-in Vortex is often read through raw line crossovers.
This script reframes the indicator as a dominance and continuation tool rather than a pure crossover trigger.
The signal engine is designed to capture cleaner transitions and continuation phases while avoiding part of the back-and-forth noise that often occurs in choppy conditions.
How to use it:
In Long mode, focus on bullish dominance and the appearance of a LONG marker after spread expansion or re-expansion.
In Short mode, focus on bearish dominance and the appearance of a SHORT marker after the same logic on the opposite side.
CLOSE markers appear when the opposite Vortex condition breaks the active sequence.
Suggested use:
This script is generally better suited to trending or directional environments than to highly compressed sideways markets.
In my testing and chart observation, the signals can appear cleaner on the 1H timeframe, where short-term noise is often reduced compared with very low timeframes, but users should still adapt settings to the instrument and market structure they trade.
Notes:
This indicator is not predictive and does not guarantee profitable signals.
It should be used as a decision-support tool together with price structure, risk management, and broader market context.
As with any directional model, false signals can still occur during whipsaw or transition phases. Indicator

Vortex Cross w/MA ConfirmationThis script is a trading strategy that combines the Vortex Indicator and a Moving Average (MA) to generate potential entry signals for long and short positions.
1. Vortex Indicator:
The Vortex Indicator consists of two lines: Vortex Positive (VIP) and Vortex Negative (VIM). It is designed to identify trend direction and measure the strength of a trend.
2. Moving Average (MA):
The script uses a chosen type of Moving Average (SMA, EMA, SMMA, WMA, or VWMA) to smooth the price data. The smoothed line is referred to as the "Smoothing Line."
3. Determine Long and Short Conditions:
The script looks for potential long entry signals when VIP crosses above VIM, highlighting each crossover on the chart, and the closing price is above the Smoothing Line. It searches for short entry signals when VIM crosses above VIP, with the closing price is below the Smoothing Line. When the long or short conditions are met, the strategy enters either a long or short position accordingly.
Potential Usage:
The strategy can be utilized in trending markets, where the Vortex Indicator helps identify trend direction and strength, and the Moving Average smooths the price data to filter out some noise. It aims to capture trends and ride them while avoiding false signals during choppy or sideways markets. Strategy
Smoothed Vortex IndicatorThe Smoothed Vortex Indicator (SVI) is an enhanced version of the original Vortex Indicator (VI), designed to provide traders with a more refined and smoother representation of trend strength and potential reversals in financial markets. While both indicators share the same concept of measuring directional movement and true range, the SVI incorporates the Hull Moving Average (HMA) to achieve additional smoothing , differentiating it from the standard Vortex Indicator.
The original Vortex Indicator (VI) consists of two lines, VI+ and VI-, which represent the positive and negative directional movements, respectively. It calculates the True Range (TR), Plus Directional Movement (PDM), and Minus Directional Movement (MDM) over a specified period, usually 14 periods, and then calculate the Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) of VI+ and VI- based on these values.
On the other hand, the Smoothed Vortex Indicator (SVI) utilizes the HMA to improve precision and reduce lag in trend identification. The HMA is itself a weighted moving average of two WMAs and is known for its smoothing characteristics. The SVI first calculates the VI+ and VI- values as in the original VI and then applies the HMA formula to each of these values separately.
To add further flexibility to the SVI, it introduces a user-defined Weighting Factor. This factor allows traders to fine-tune the smoothing effect applied to VI+ and VI-. By multiplying the weighted VI values with the HMA, the SVI ensures a smoother representation of trend strength, making it easier for traders to identify trends and potential reversal points in the market.
In summary, the Smoothed Vortex Indicator (SVI) enhances the original Vortex Indicator by incorporating the Hull Moving Average (HMA) for additional smoothing and introducing a customizable Weighting Factor. This improved version provides traders with a more refined and visually smoother indicator, aiding them in making better-informed trading decisions based on trend strength and possible market reversals.
