+You're in
Here's how to get Vektor on your chart.
Six short steps. Two minutes, most of it waiting on TradingView. You do not install anything — access is already switching on for your account. When you are set up, Vektor tells you which way to go on gold and Bitcoin: long, short, or wait.
01 /The setup
Six steps. Then it runs itself.
Do these in order. Every step happens inside TradingView — no other apps, no downloads, no config files.
Your access is switching on
You entered your TradingView username at checkout, so access is granted to that exact account automatically. There is no human in the loop and nothing to install.
It is usually live in seconds, up to a couple of minutes at most. If you are reading this the moment you paid, give it a beat and refresh TradingView before you go looking.
Add Vektor to TradingView
Open a chart on TradingView, then open the Indicators dialog (the fx button, or press /). Go to the Invite-only scripts tab.
You will see Vektor Strategy listed there once access is on. Click it to add it to your chart. If the tab is empty, access is still switching on from step one — wait a moment and reopen the dialog.
Load a gold or Bitcoin chart
Load an XAUUSD (gold) or BTCUSD (Bitcoin) chart and give it a second to pull the history. Vektor is built and tuned for these two markets — that focus is the point, so keep it on gold and Bitcoin.
It runs on any TradingView plan, including the free one. You do not need a paid subscription to see the signals or the tester.
Read the Strategy Tester
Open the Strategy Tester panel below the chart. It lists every trade Vektor has ever taken on that market, and the table that sets it next to simply holding — return, drawdown, win rate.
Vektor never repaints. A signal is locked once the bar closes, so what you see in the history is what would actually have happened, not a line redrawn with hindsight.
Turn on alerts
Right-click the chart or use the alarm-clock icon to add an alert on Vektor Strategy. That is how entries, exits, and flips reach your phone the moment they print.
Alerts need a paid TradingView plan — Essential or higher; the free plan does not allow indicator alerts. If you are serious about investing it is worth it, so you never have to sit and watch the chart.
Set the condition to Once Per Bar Close. This is the one setting that matters: it fires only on a confirmed, closed bar, so a signal can never move or vanish after you have acted on it.
Then let it wait
Most days, Vektor sits flat — and that is the edge, not a fault. It only acts when the trend on gold or Bitcoin is real, which is roughly a signal every week or two per market, not something every day.
When it does fire, it sets your exit line before you are in and trails it to lock in gains as the move runs. Your job is to let the rules run and not talk yourself into the trades it skipped.
02 /Reading the signals
Long, short, or flat. Nothing to interpret.
Vektor plots one thing on your chart: which side of the trade you should be on. Here is what each state means and what happens around it.
The trend is up and every entry filter is clear. Vektor is on the buy side, with an exit line already set below.
The trend is down and confirmed. Vektor is on the sell side, exit line set above. It shorts as readily as it buys.
No trend, or the market is choppy. Vektor stands aside and holds nothing. Waiting is a position — most days, this is it.
The exit comes first
Vektor sets a visible exit line before you enter, so your trade structure is defined up front, not decided in the heat of a move. As the trade runs its way, that line trails behind price to lock in gains. It is a discipline tool — it defines your risk, it does not remove it, and it cannot promise a fill through slippage, gaps, or an outage.
Size scales with volatility
Every trade carries the same risk. The wilder the market, the smaller the position Vektor takes — calm conditions get a full size, wild conditions get a fraction of it. You do not do this math; it is set for you, so one violent day never quietly becomes an oversized bet.
+A signal every week or two per market is normal. Vektor is built to compound an account over a year, not to hand you a trade today. The rarity is the point.
03 /Never miss a print
Turn on alerts, then put your phone away.
Because Vektor waits most days, you should not have to watch it. Set it up once and let the signals come to you.
How
- 1Right-click the chart, or hit the alarm-clock icon, and choose to add an alert.
- 2Set the condition to Vektor Strategy.
- 3Choose your channel — push, email, or a webhook to wherever you want it.
The one setting that matters
Set the alert to Once Per Bar Close.
This fires the alert only on a confirmed, closed bar. It is what keeps a signal from moving or disappearing after the fact — exactly the same reason Vektor never repaints. Skip this and you risk reacting to a bar that has not finished forming.
+Alerts require a paid TradingView plan (Essential or higher) — the free plan does not allow indicator alerts. Worth it if you are serious about investing.
04 /If something's off
Troubleshooting. Almost always a quick fix.
Access isn't showing up yet?
Give it a moment. Provisioning is fully automated but not instant — it usually lands in seconds and can take a couple of minutes. Refresh TradingView and reopen the Invite-only scripts tab. If it is still missing after a few minutes, it is almost always the username, below.
Entered the wrong TradingView username?
Access is tied to the exact username you gave at checkout, so a typo or the wrong account means it lands somewhere else. Email desk@vektoralgo.com with the correct username and we will move it over. Include the email you bought with so we can find you fast.
Do I need a paid TradingView plan?
For the strategy itself, no — you can add Vektor, run the Strategy Tester, and see every signal on the free plan. Alerts are the exception: TradingView only allows indicator alerts on a paid plan (Essential or higher). If you want entries and exits pushed to your phone — and if you are serious about investing, you do — that is the one upgrade worth making.
It isn't taking any trades.
That is likely correct behaviour, not a bug. Vektor sits flat whenever the trend is weak or the market is choppy, which is most days. Confirm you are on an XAUUSD or BTCUSD chart and check the Strategy Tester — the trade history proves it is live and simply waiting for a real move.
+Still stuck?
A real person reads every message.
If access has not appeared, a username needs fixing, or anything at all looks wrong, email the desk. No ticket queue, no bots — we would rather you were set up and trading than guessing.
