UNDERSTAND THE SIGNAL FORMAT
Every Vector Ridge signal includes four key components: the asset/pair, direction (Long or Short), entry price, stop loss, and take profit levels.
Long means you're buying the asset expecting the price to rise. Short means you're selling the asset expecting the price to fall.
WAIT FOR YOUR ENTRY
Patience is crucial. When you receive a signal, wait for the market price to reach the specified entry level before opening your position. Do not chase the price or enter early.
Pro Tip
Set a limit order at the entry price rather than a market order. This ensures you only enter at the optimal level and prevents slippage.
If the price moves past the entry level before you can place your order, it's better to wait for the next signal than to chase a missed entry.
SET YOUR STOP LOSS IMMEDIATELY
The moment you enter a trade, place your stop loss at the specified level. This is non-negotiable. The stop loss protects your capital and limits potential losses.
Critical Rule
Never move your stop loss further away from your entry to avoid being stopped out. This is one of the most common and costly mistakes traders make.
MANAGE YOUR TAKE PROFITS
Our signals typically include multiple take profit levels. We recommend the following approach:
- Close 50% of your position at Take Profit 1
- Move your stop loss to breakeven after TP1 is hit
- Close the remaining 50% at Take Profit 2
- For extended signals with TP3, trail your stop to lock in profits
POSITION SIZING
Never risk more than 1-2% of your total trading capital on any single trade. Calculate your position size based on the distance between your entry and stop loss.
Position Size Formula
Position Size = (Account Balance × Risk %) ÷ (Entry Price - Stop Loss Price)
For example, with a $10,000 account risking 1% per trade and a 70-pip stop loss, your position size should be calculated so that a 70-pip loss equals $100.
STAY DISCIPLINED
Consistency is the key to long-term profitability. Follow these rules for every single trade:
- Follow the signal exactly as provided - don't modify entries or stops
- Don't overtrade - take only the signals provided
- Keep a trading journal to track your performance
- Accept losses as part of trading - no strategy wins 100%
- Never revenge trade after a loss
