VSTpro tests a new trading strategy.
Recently the ASX (XJO) index fell out of sync with the US S&P 500 index, and trading the ASX stock using the VSTpro's Market Trend Filter (the filter is based on the S&P 500 index) became difficult.
The Canadian TSX stocks also became difficult to safely trade, and this is when Terry, a member of the VSTpro User Group put forward an idea which led to Jose Silva writing an indicator, and incorporating it into the VSTpro.
Terry posts many ideas on the forum, and is always looking for new, and better ways to safely trade, this new idea is robust and the VSTpro testing is very promising.
The charts below display the system setup in the VSTpro.
Chart details from left to right by numbers.
NOTE: The VSTpro User Group is only available to owners of the VSTpro MetaSTock trading platform.

Many thanks to Terry for his enthusiasm and determination.
