Vantis Engine is a professional‑grade algorithmic trading system designed to capture high‑probability breakout opportunities in liquid markets. It combines:
- Dynamic asset ranking
- Volatility and trend filters
- Macro‑exposure control
- Professional risk management
- Modular and transparent architecture
This manual explains:
- How the strategy works
- How to configure the system
- How each parameter affects performance
- How Trading Profiles and Symbol Presets interact
- Best practices for traders of all experience levels
The goal is to give you a clear understanding of what the system does, why it does it, and how to use it effectively.
1. System Philosophy
Vantis Engine is not a retail‑style robot (no martingale, no grids, no scalping gimmicks). It is a disciplined, rules‑based engine built on institutional principles:
✔️ Smart asset selection
Each symbol receives an Institutional Score based on volatility, trend, and opportunity.
✔️ Disciplined execution
Trade is only taken when:
- The score exceeds a minimum threshold
- Macro exposure is clean
- Market compression is favorable
- A statistically meaningful breakout occurs
✔️ Professional risk management
Position size is calculated using:
- Risk per trade
- ATR‑based stop distance
- Symbol tick value and tick size
✔️ Modular architecture
Each component is independent:
- Ranking
- Filters
- Execution
- Risk
- Presets
- Technical inputs
This ensures transparency, stability, and full user control.
2. Operational Flow
On every new bar, Vantis Engine follows this sequence:
2.1. Detect new bar
Prevents over‑trading within the same candle.
2.2. Check drawdown limit
Stop trading if the maximum drawdown is exceeded.
2.3. Build the symbol ranking
Each symbol is scored using:
- Volatility Score
- Trend Score
- Opportunity Score
Then sorted from highest to lowest.
2.4. Iterate through the ranking
For each symbol:
- Check minimum score
- Check macro exposure
- Check entry conditions
- Execute trade if valid
2.5. Enforce maximum concurrent positions
Never exceeds the allowed number of open trades.
3. Institutional Score (Asset Classification)
The Institutional Score is a weighted combination of three components:
3.1 Volatility Score (40%)
Measures the ratio between short‑term and long‑term ATR. Rising volatility → higher score.
3.2 Trend Score (40%)
Evaluates:
- Price relative to the moving average
- Slope of the moving average
3.3 Opportunity Score (20%)
Based on the symbol’s spread. Lower spreads → higher opportunity.
4. Trading Profile (Operational Presets)
The Trading Profile defines default operational parameters:
- Risk per trade
- Minimum score
- Maximum positions
Important:
👉 Trading Profile does NOT define which symbols are traded. 👉 User inputs always override the profile if they are not zero.
Profiles:
Profile Risk per Trade Min Score Max Positions
RISK_CONTROLLED 0.50% 72 2
BALANCED_ALPHA 0.75% 72 2
HIGH_CONVICTION 1.00% 72 2
CUSTOM_INSTITUTIONAL User-Input User-Input User-Input
AUTO Mode
Operational inputs default to 0, meaning:
- If input = 0 → use Trading Profile value
- If input ≠ 0 → use user value
This gives full flexibility without losing structure.
5. Symbol Preset (Asset Selection)
Symbol Preset defines exactly which symbols the EA trades. It is never modified by the Trading Profile.
Presets:
Preset Symbols
JPY_MOMENTUM_SET EURJPY, AUDJPY, CADJPY
USD_MAJOR_SET GBPUSD, USDCAD
EURO_CROSS_SET EURCAD, EURAUD, EURNZD
CORE_LIQUIDITY_SET EURUSD, USDJPY
CUSTOM_SYMBOL_SET User‑defined list
6. Technical Inputs (Always User‑Controlled)
These parameters do not have AUTO mode and are never overwritten:
ATR_Short Period of the short ATR used for volatility measurement, momentum scoring, and breakout detection across all timeframes.
ATR_Long Period of the structural ATR used for stop-loss sizing, trailing stop distance, and regime classification.
Compression_Lookback Number of bars used to measure prior ATR compression before a breakout setup. Higher values require a longer consolidation period to qualify a setup.
Compression_Factor Minimum ratio of current ATR to historical ATR required to confirm a compression state. Lower values accept shallower consolidations.
Expansion_Factor Minimum ratio of current range to ATR required to confirm a valid breakout. Controls how decisive the breakout must be before entry is considered.
MA_Period_Trend Period of the EMA used for trend direction scoring and mean-reversion risk assessment across all timeframes.
Max_DD_Pct Maximum allowable drawdown as a percentage of account balance. Once breached, the System halts all new entries permanently until the user manually resets the equity peak from the inputs panel. This is an intentional safety mechanism — recovery is never automatic. If the drawdown lock is triggered, set Manual Reset to true, restart Vantis Engine, then set it back to false. The high-watermark will be recalculated from the current equity.
StrategyID Unique magic number assigned to all orders opened by this instance. Must be unique per chart when running multiple EA instances simultaneously.
Enable_Partial_Close Enables partial position closure at a defined R-multiple profit target, locking in gains while leaving a portion of the trade open to capture further movement.
Partial_Close_R R-multiple at which the partial close is triggered. A value of 1.5 closes part of the position when profit reaches 1.5× the initial risk.
Trail_Start_R R-multiple at which the trailing stop activates. The trailing mechanism does not engage until this profit threshold is reached.
ATR_Multiplier Multiplier applied to ATR to determine trailing stop distance once the trail is active. Higher values give the trade more room to breathe.
Failsafe_Max_Loss_R Maximum loss expressed as an R-multiple before the position is closed unconditionally. Acts as a hard floor independent of the standard stop-loss.
Max_Bars_In_Trade Maximum number of bars a position is allowed to remain open. Positions still active after this limit are closed to prevent capital from being tied up in stagnant trades.
SignalDelaySeconds Number of seconds to wait after a new bar opens before evaluating entry signals. Allows the bar to stabilize and reduces sensitivity to opening spread spikes.
MTF_TF1 Macro timeframe — the highest level in the multi-timeframe stack. Carries 50% weight in trend and momentum scoring. Should be significantly above the chart timeframe.
MTF_TF2 Intermediate timeframe — the mid level of the multi-timeframe stack. Carries 35% weight. Should sit between MTF_TF1 and the chart timeframe.
MTF_TF3 Entry timeframe — the lowest level of the multi-timeframe stack. Carries 15% weight. Should match the chart timeframe.
Enable_Weekend_Close When enabled, all open positions are closed before the Friday market close to eliminate exposure to weekend gap risk.
Friday_Close_Hour_GMT Hour in GMT on Friday at which the EA closes open positions and blocks new entries. Default is 20:00 GMT, one hour before the formal market close, ensuring execution in normal liquidity conditions.
They define the technical behavior of the strategy and must remain under user control.
7. Entry Conditions
A trade is executed only if:
✔️ Market is in compression
ATR(0) < ATR average × Compression_Factor
✔️ Breakout is meaningful
Candle range > ATR × Expansion_Factor
✔️ Macro exposure is clean
Avoid trading pairs with overlapping currencies.
✔️ Institutional Score is high enough
Controlled by Trading Profile or user input.
8. Risk Management
Position size is calculated using:
- Account balance
- Risk per trade
- ATR‑based stop distance
- Symbol tick value and tick size
This ensures consistent and proportional risk across all trades.
9. Recommended Timeframe
Vantis Engine uses the timeframe of the chart on which it is loaded to make all its trading decisions. The system’s internal logic — entry filters, risk management, multi‑timeframe alignment, and exit rules — has been carefully calibrated around a 1‑hour (H1) timeframe. For this reason, H1 is the recommended and highest‑edge timeframe.
