How Vortex Confluence Protocol [JOAT] works

Rules in this group usually work like this. It tries to act the way a person reading a chart would: at spots where price turned, at gaps, and at places where many people are likely to have set a stop. In code those ideas become counts of bars. The result depends on how those spots are defined. The next paragraph is this particular rule, which can be narrower than the group.

It can buy, and it can bet on falling prices. It acts only when several checks agree at once. It leans on ATR, EMA, pivot high, pivot low; those names are explained on their own pages, further down. The exact line is in the list below, in the author's names, and you can skip that list. When it enters, it also sets a stop or a target, so a trade can close without a new signal.

Each trade uses 2 percent of the account. It holds one trade at a time.

The exact condition, from the code

Same rule, translated from the code, in the author's names. You can skip this list if the paragraph above was enough.

• Enters long when Enable Long Trades (on) and bull confluence and (in bull fair value gap when Require FVG Confluence (on), else on) and ((break of structure up or change of character up) when Require BOS/CHoCH (on), else on) and no position is open.
• Enters short when Enable Short Trades (on) and bear confluence and (in bear fair value gap when Require FVG Confluence (on), else on) and break of structure short and no position is open.
• On entry, places a stop at calculated stop loss (on), a target at calculated take profit (the close, calculated stop loss (on), on).
• On entry, places a stop at calculated stop loss (off), a target at calculated take profit (the close, calculated stop loss (off), off).
• Places a stop at trail stop, a target at take profit when Use Trailing Stop (on) and a position is open and a long position is open and (the high − (the 14-period ATR × Trail ATR Multiplier (2))) is above trail stop.
• Places a stop at trail stop, a target at take profit when Use Trailing Stop (on) and a position is open and a short position is open and (the low + (the 14-period ATR × Trail ATR Multiplier (2))) is below trail stop.

How the backtest was run

Every strategy was tried the same way, on the settings the author published.

The years are October 2021 to June 2026. The prices are from Bybit, for 13 widely traded coins, mostly on hourly, 4-hour and daily charts, with some faster charts. That was 47,242 tries. The window stored in the files is 2021-09..2026-06.

599 rules produced a finished try. A rule that finished above zero on at least 12 cells, before any fee, was tried again with a fee of 0.12 percent per side. Only buys are counted in that second try. 273 rules got it.

The method, the aggregate results and a downloadable table are on the study page. What the desk does with the results beyond these pages is its own.

Before any fee, it was tried on 12 cells, and it placed no trades.

It was not run a second time with a fee. That second pass happens only when at least 12 cells finished above zero before fees. 273 rules got that pass.

Cells tried	12
Cells that placed a trade	0

How to read the result

How to read the number

No cell took a trade, so there is no return to read. The rule above is the whole note.

What this does not show

The useful question is how the turning points are counted in the code. A person can be vague. The code has to count bars.

There is no cell to single out, and this note does not invent one. Other years, another exchange, or another fee would be a different measurement.

Questions about Vortex Confluence Protocol [JOAT]

Words used on this page

Backtest

The rule was tried on old prices. No real money moved.

Cell

One coin on one chart speed. Bitcoin every 4 hours is one cell. Bitcoin once a day is another.

Chart speed

How often a new price bar is drawn. 15m means every 15 minutes, 1h means hourly, 4h means every 4 hours, 1D means once a day.

Fee, per side

A cost taken each time the rule trades. Per side means once on the way in and once on the way out.

Median

Line the cells up from the biggest loss to the biggest gain. The median is the middle one. Half the cells did better and half did worse.

Drawdown

The deepest fall from a high point along the way, as a percent of the account at that high.

Above zero

The account finished with more than it started.

The indicators Vortex Confluence Protocol [JOAT] uses

Each has its own page: what it measures, how it is read, where it misleads.

• ADX and the directional movement index: how strong the trend is, not which way
• ATR (average true range): the volatility number behind most stops
• Exponential moving average (EMA): what it measures and where it misleads
• Pivot points: swing pivots and floor-trader pivots, two different things with one name
• RSI (relative strength index): the formula, the 70/30 rule, and why it misleads in trends
• Simple moving average (SMA): the plainest average, and why it still runs half the strategies
• Standard deviation in trading: the volatility measure inside Bollinger Bands and z-scores
• Wilder's smoothing (RMA): the average inside RSI, ATR and ADX
