What is the Vortex Indicator?

The Vortex Indicator is a trend-following indicator that uses the relationship between price extremes and volatility to identify new trends and momentum shifts.

How do I identify a trend change?

A trend change is identified via a Crossover signal, which occurs when the +VI line crosses the -VI line.

Can I get a summary of the current market state?

Yes, you can use the `get_vortex_summary` tool to retrieve trend direction, momentum strength, and extreme status for any given index in your data.
