Exit / target
- For binary/one‑minute trades, the trade exits automatically at expiry.
- For other instruments (CFD), use a tight take profit (e.g., 1:0.5 to 1:1 RR on scalps) and a hard stop.
Martingale recovery (controlled) Martingale increases stakes after loss to recover previous loss + profit. Use this only if you accept the risks. Implement strict rules:
- Max martingale steps: 2–3 steps (no more). Example: base stake $1 → if loss → step 1 stake $2.5 → if loss → step 2 stake $6.5 (numbers illustrative; pick your own multiplier).
- Maximum drawdown per session: decide a fixed dollar/percentage stop (e.g., stop after 3 consecutive losses or 5% of account per session).
- Never exceed a pre‑set portion of account on any single sequence (e.g., max 2–5% of balance exposed).
- If margin/available funds insufficient, stop martingale sequence automatically.
- Prefer fixed sized increments or a conservative multiplier (1.8–2.5), not huge doubling.
Money management & session rules
- Risk per base trade: 0.5–2% of total account balance.
- Max daily loss limit: e.g., 5% of account. If hit, stop trading for the day.
- Max daily profit target: set a realistic target (e.g., 2–4% of account) and stop when reached.
- Demo practice: run this strategy for at least 1000 demo trades or 3–4 weeks of consistent testing before using real funds.
- Keep a trade log: time, asset, entry reason, indicators reading, result, stake, and notes. Review weekly.
Common setups and examples (descriptive)
- Example 1 (bullish reversal): Vortex lines are separated, downward trend cooling; CCI hit −100 and turned up; a green Heiken Ashi candle forms. Trade CALL for 1 minute. If win, record and continue. If loss, use martingale step 1 if rules allow.
- Example 2 (trend continuation filtered by CCI): Vortex strongly trending down. CCI rises close to +100 then rolls down and forms downward Heiken Ashi. Trade PUT for 1 minute.
- If Vortex lines are close together or CCI is flat near zero, skip — low probability.
Risk notes and limitations (must read)
- No method guarantees 70–80% returns consistently. Claims of such high win rates are often exaggerated.
- Martingale can produce large drawdowns and wipe accounts fast in streaks of losses.
- 1‑minute trading is effectively scalping — noise and spreads matter. Slippage and execution speed on Pocket Option can change results.
- Backtest and forward demo test the combination of Vortex(18)+CCI(18) under different market conditions.
Checklist before each trade
- Are vortex lines clearly separated? Y/N
- Is CCI near a key level (±100) and turning? Y/N
- Did a Heiken Ashi reversal bar appear? Y/N
- Is there any scheduled news in the next 15 minutes? N/Y
- Stake size vs account rules OK? Y/N If any answer is NO, skip the trade.

Closing This method can help you structure quick trades using Vortex + CCI (period 18) and an optional martingale recovery plan. The key is disciplined money management, strict stop rules, demo testing, and realistic expectations. If you want, I can:
- Produce a printable checklist/one‑page cheat sheet.
- Create a sample martingale stake calculator in Excel or Google Sheets.
- Build a demo trade log template (CSV) you can paste into a spreadsheet.
