Pocket Option 2024 Strategy With the Velocity X Indicator
Velocity X is an arrow-based signal indicator available here on UltimateFXTools, built to help you read short-term trend shifts at a glance. Instead of forcing you to interpret raw price action, it plots a clear up or down arrow directly on the chart when its internal conditions line up. That makes it a natural fit for a fast platform like Pocket Option, where you place a Call (Up) or a Put (Down) contract and choose a fixed expiry time. The idea of this 2024 setup is simple: pair the Velocity X arrows with a smoothed moving average so you only act on signals that agree with the wider trend.
On Pocket Option, Velocity X is used as a visual confirmation tool. You load it onto your chart, wait for a fresh arrow to appear on a closed candle, and then decide whether the surrounding conditions support entering an Up or Down position. Below is how the signals behave, the settings this strategy uses, the entry rules, and a sensible approach to timeframe, expiry, and risk.
How the Velocity X Signals Work
Velocity X blends a momentum reading with a moving-average filter to flag when price may be turning. When momentum rotates from falling to rising and price is holding above the filter, the indicator prints an upward arrow. When momentum rolls over and price sits below the filter, it prints a downward arrow. Because the signal is drawn as an arrow rather than a shaded zone, it is easy to spot in real time. The most reliable arrows tend to appear after a short pullback inside an existing trend, rather than in flat, directionless price. Treating each arrow as a prompt to check the trend, rather than an automatic entry, is what keeps the approach consistent.
Recommended Settings
This 2024 configuration keeps things deliberately lean so the chart stays readable:
- Candle timeframe: a short candle interval paired with a Heikin Ashi candle type, which smooths noise and makes the underlying direction easier to see.
- Trend filter: a Weighted Moving Average (WMA) set to a period of 42, drawn at a thicker line width so it is obvious at a glance.
- Velocity X core: an Exponential Moving Average period of 13 and a CCI period of 14, with the CCI applied to the weighted price and reversal levels set at +100 and -100.
These values are a starting point. It is worth loading them on a demo chart first and adjusting the moving-average period to match how a given pair moves before you rely on them.
Buy / Call and Sell / Put Rules
Keep your entries mechanical so every trade follows the same checklist:
- Call (Up): price is trading above the WMA 42 filter and Velocity X prints a fresh upward arrow on a closed candle. Enter an Up contract on the next candle.
- Put (Down): price is trading below the WMA 42 filter and Velocity X prints a fresh downward arrow on a closed candle. Enter a Down contract on the next candle.
- Skip the trade when price is chopping right on top of the moving average, or when an arrow contradicts the direction of the filter. Sitting out unclear signals is part of the method.
The moving-average filter is what separates a usable arrow from a random one. Only take the arrow that points the same way the trend is already leaning.
Best Timeframe, Expiry and Risk
Velocity X is designed for short intraday reads, so a low timeframe with a matching short expiry generally keeps signals and outcomes aligned. As a rule of thumb, set your expiry to roughly one to two candles of the timeframe you are watching, so the trade has room to resolve without drifting into unrelated price action. Just as important is money management: risk only a small, fixed share of your balance on any single contract, cap the number of trades you take per session, and step away after a run of losses instead of chasing them. Consistent position sizing does more for long-term results than any single signal.

FAQ
Does the Velocity X arrow repaint or move after a candle closes?
Always wait for the candle to fully close before acting on an arrow. Signals should be judged on completed candles so the reading is final; treating a still-forming candle as confirmed is the most common way traders end up acting on a signal that later shifts.
Which platforms can I use this strategy on?
The setup is described here for Pocket Option, where you take Up and Down contracts on a fixed expiry. The same Velocity X arrows and WMA filter also translate to other platforms that let you load custom indicators, such as MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, so you can apply the same rules wherever you chart.
What is the best timeframe to trade it on?
Velocity X is built for short intraday reads, so a low timeframe paired with a short expiry of about one to two candles keeps the signal and the trade window aligned. Test a couple of timeframes on a demo account first and settle on the one where the arrows read most clearly for the pairs you follow.
