VectorFlow is a systematic trend-following trading bot designed to capitalize on market momentum using a disciplined, rules-based approach. It employs momentum and trend-confirmation indicators to identify sustained directional movements, entering trades only when short-term momentum aligns with the longer-term trend. The system includes filters to reduce false signals during uncertain market conditions.
Ideal for strong trending environments, high momentum sessions (such as London/New York overlaps), and breakout or breakdown scenarios, VectorFlow avoids trading during prolonged sideways markets, low volatility consolidations, and major news events due to slippage risks.
Key parameters include a fast 9-period exponential moving average for momentum triggers, a slow 20-period simple moving average for trend filtering, a 10-pip stop loss (adjustable), and take profit targets set at 2.0x stop loss for buys and 1.5x for sells. It supports both long and short trades with adjustable risk settings and logs trades labeled "VectorFlow" for transparency.
Primary market focus is XAUUSD (Gold) on the 15-minute timeframe, with compatibility for major forex pairs like EURUSD, GBPUSD, and USDJPY. The bot operates 24/5, requires a minimum account balance of $1,000, supports leverage up to 1:30, and is compatible with both hedging and netting account types. A VPS is recommended for continuous operation.
Backtesting on XAUUSD M15 from October 2025 to January 2026 showed a 43.92% ROI, 3.97 profit factor, 71.4% win rate, and up to 28 consecutive winning trades. The bot is suitable for prop firms and emphasizes consistent logic without over-optimization.
