Pivot Regime Anchored VWAP [CHE] Pivot Regime Anchored VWAP — Detects body-based pivot regimes to classify swing highs and lows, anchoring volume-weighted average price lines directly at higher highs and lower lows for adaptive reference levels.
Summary
This indicator identifies shifts between top and bottom regimes through breakouts in candle body highs and lows, labeling swing points as higher highs, lower highs, lower lows, or higher lows. It then draws anchored volume-weighted average price lines starting from the most recent higher high and lower low, providing dynamic support and resistance that evolve with volume flow. These anchored lines differ from standard volume-weighted averages by resetting only at confirmed swing extremes, reducing noise in ranging markets while highlighting momentum shifts in trends.
Motivation: Why this design?
Traders often struggle with static reference lines that fail to adapt to changing market structures, leading to false breaks in volatile conditions or missed continuations in trends. By anchoring volume-weighted average price calculations to body pivot regimes—specifically at higher highs for resistance and lower lows for support—this design creates reference levels tied directly to price structure extremes. This approach addresses the problem of generic moving averages lagging behind swing confirmations, offering a more context-aware tool for intraday or swing trading.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
- Baseline reference: Traditional volume-weighted average price indicators compute a running total from session start or fixed periods, often ignoring price structure.
- Architecture differences:
- Regime detection via body breakout logic switches between high and low focus dynamically.
- Anchoring limited to confirmed higher highs and lower lows, with historical recalculation for accurate line drawing.
- Polyline rendering rebuilds only on the last bar to manage performance.
- Practical effect: Charts show fewer, more meaningful lines that start at swing points, making it easier to spot confluences with structure breaks rather than cluttered overlays from continuous calculations.
How it works (technical)
The indicator first calculates the maximum and minimum of each candle's open and close to define body highs and lows. It then scans a lookback window for the highest body high and lowest body low. A top regime triggers when the body high from the lookback period exceeds the window's highest, and a bottom regime when the body low falls below the window's lowest. These regime shifts confirm pivots only when crossing from one state to the other.
For top pivots, it compares the new body high against the previous swing high: if greater, it marks a higher high and anchors a new line; otherwise, a lower high. The same logic applies inversely for bottom pivots. Anchored lines use cumulative price-volume products and volumes from the anchor bar onward, subtracting prior cumulatives to isolate the segment. On pivot confirmation, it loops backward from the current bar to the anchor, computing and storing points for the line. New points append as bars advance, ensuring the line reflects ongoing volume weighting.
Initialization uses persistent variables to track the last swing values and anchor bars, starting with neutral states. Data flows from regime detection to pivot classification, then to anchoring and point accumulation, with lines rendered globally on the final bar.
Parameter Guide
Pivot Length — Controls the lookback window for detecting body breakouts, influencing pivot frequency and sensitivity to recent action. Shorter values catch more pivots in choppy conditions; longer smooths for major swings. Default: 30 (bars). Trade-offs/Tips: Min 1; for intraday, try 10–20 to reduce lag but watch for noise; on daily, 50+ for stability.
Show Pivot Labels — Toggles display of text markers at swing points, aiding quick identification of higher highs, lower highs, lower lows, or higher lows. Default: true. Trade-offs/Tips: Disable in multi-indicator setups to declutter; useful for backtesting structure.
HH Color — Sets the line and label color for higher high anchored lines, distinguishing resistance levels. Default: Red (solid). Trade-offs/Tips: Choose contrasting hues for dark/light themes; pair with opacity for fills if added later.
LL Color — Sets the line and label color for lower low anchored lines, distinguishing support levels. Default: Lime (solid). Trade-offs/Tips: As above; green shades work well for bullish contexts without overpowering candles.
Reading & Interpretation
Higher high labels and red lines indicate potential resistance zones where volume weighting begins at a new swing top, suggesting sellers may defend prior highs. Lower low labels and lime lines mark support from a fresh swing bottom, with the line's slope reflecting buyer commitment via volume. Lower highs or higher lows appear as labels without new anchors, signaling possible range-bound action. Line proximity to price shows overextension; crosses may hint at regime shifts, but confirm with volume spikes.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
- Trend following: Enter longs above a rising lower low anchored line after higher low confirmation; filter with rising higher highs for uptrends. Use line breaks as trailing stops.
- Exits/Stops: In downtrends, exit shorts below a higher high line; set aggressive stops above it for scalps, conservative below for swings. Pair with momentum oscillators for divergence.
- Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Defaults suit forex/stocks on 1H–4H; on crypto 15M, shorten length to 15. Scale colors for dark themes; combine with higher timeframe anchors for confluence.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Closed-bar logic ensures pivots confirm after the lookback period, with no repainting on historical bars—live bars may adjust until regime shift. No higher timeframe calls, so minimal repaint risk beyond standard delays. Resources include a 2000-bar history limit, label/polyline caps at 200/50, and loops for historical point filling (up to current bar count from anchor, typically under 500 iterations). Known limits: In extreme gaps or low-volume periods, anchors may skew; lines absent until first pivots.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with the 30-bar length for balanced pivot detection across most assets. For too-frequent pivots in ranges, increase to 50 for fewer signals. If lines lag in trends, reduce to 20 and enable labels for visual cues. In low-volatility assets, widen color contrasts; test on 100-bar history to verify stability.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a structure-aware visualization layer for anchoring volume-weighted references at swing extremes, enhancing manual analysis of regimes and levels. It is not a standalone signal generator or predictive model—always integrate with broader context like order flow or news. Use alongside risk management and position sizing, not as isolated buy/sell triggers.
Many thanks to LuxAlgo for the original script "McDonald's Pattern ". The implementation for body pivots instead of wicks uses a = max(open, close), b = min(open, close) and then highest(a, length) / lowest(b, length). This filters noise from the wicks and detects breakouts over/under bodies. Unusual and targeted, super innovative.

xVWAP (Multi-Source VWAP)This indicator lets you plot a true cross-symbol VWAP — volume-weighted average price taken from any symbol or from your current chart. It’s ideal for futures, micros/minis, indices, and correlated assets (e.g., MGC ↔ GC1!, MNQ ↔ NQ1!, ES ↔ SPX).
You can choose the source symbol, anchor period, and display up to three standard-deviation bands around VWAP.
In the chart, since I trade Micros, I used MGC1! (colored), then overlay it with the VWAP from GC1! (Grey).
Multiple Timeframe Rolling VWAPsThis indicator plots up to five customizable time-based Rolling Volume-Weighted Average Price (RVWAP) lines.
Each VWAP can be enabled or disabled and configured with a user-defined time period (days, hours, minutes) and minimum bars. It supports multi-timeframe analysis, allowing users to toggle between the current chart resolution and a custom timeframe (e.g., daily, weekly).
Ideal for traders analyzing volume-weighted price trends across multiple periods. Features include five independent VWAP lines with distinct colors, flexible time periods, and robust calculations. Ensure your chart has volume data for accurate results.
Multi-timeframe 24 moving averages + BB+SAR+Supertrend+VWAP █ OVERVIEW
The script allows to display up to 24 moving averages ("MA"'s) across 5 timeframes plus two bands (Bollinger Bands or Supertrend or Parabolic SAR or VWAP bands) each from its own timeframe.
The main difference of this script from many similar ones is the flexibility of its settings:
- Bulk enable/disable and/or change properties of several MAs at once.
- Save 3 of your frequently used templates as presets using CSV text configurations.
█ HOW TO USE
Some use examples:
In order to "show 31, 50, 200 EMAs and 20, 100, 200 SMAs for each of 1H, 4H, D, W, M timeframes using blue for short MA, yellow for mid MA and red for long MA" use the settings as shown on a screenshot below.
In order to "Show a band of chart timeframe MA's of lengths 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 100 and 200 plus some 1H, 4H, D and W MAs. Be able to quickly switch off the band of chart tf's MAs. For chart timeframe MA's only show labels for 21, 100 and 200 EMAs". You can set TF1 and TF2 to chart's TF and set you fib MAs there and configure fixed higher timeframe MAs using TF3, TF4 and TF5 (e.g. using 1H, D and W timeframes and using 1H 800 in place of 4H 200 MA). However, quicker way may be using CSV - the syntax is very simple and intuitive, see Preset 2 as it comes in the script. You can easily switch chart tf's band of MAs by toggling on/off your chart timeframe TF's (in our example, TF1 and TF2).
The settings are either obvious or explained in tooltips.
Note 1: When using group settings and CSV presets do not forget that individual setting affected will no have any effect. So, if some setting does not work, check whether it is overridden with some group setting or a CSV preset.
Note 2: Sometimes you can notice parts of MA's hanging in the air, not lasting up to the last bar. This is not a bug as explained on this screenshot:
█ FOR DEVELOPERS
The script is a use case of my CSVParser library, which in turn uses Autotable library, both of which I hope will be quite helpful. Autotable is so powerful and comprehensive that you will hardly ever wish to use normal table functions again for complex tables.
The indicator was inspired by Pablo Limonetti's url=https://www.tradingview.com/script/nFs56VUZ/]Multi Timeframe Moving Averages and Raging @RagingRocketBull's # Multi SMA EMA WMA HMA BB (5x8 MAs Bollinger Bands) MAX MTF - RRB
Percent of U.S. Stocks Above VWAPThis indicator plots a line reflecting the percentage of all U.S. stocks above or below their VWAP for the given candle. Horizontal lines have been placed at 40% (oversold), 50% (mid-line), and 60% (overbought). I recommend using this indicator as a market breadth indicator when trading individual stocks. In my experience, this indicator is best utilized while trading the major indices (SPX, SPY, QQQ, IWM) or their futures (ES, NQ, RTY) in the following manner:
- When the line crosses 50%, a green or red triangle is plotted indicating the majority of market momentum has turned bullish or bearish based on price positioning vs. VWAP. Look for longs when the line is rising (green) or above 50%, or shorts when the line is falling (red) or below 50%.
- When the line is below 40%, indicator shows red shading; I would not be long anything during this period. When the line exits this level, I begin looking for long entries. This line is adjustable in the indicator settings if you prefer to use a tighter or looser oversold level.
- When the line is above 60%, indicator shows green shading; I would not be short anything during this period. When the line exits this level, I begin looking for short entries. This line is adjustable in the indicator settings if you prefer to use a tighter or looser overbought level.
This indicator uses the TradingView ticker “PCTABOVEVWAP.US”, thus it only updates during NY market hours. If trading futures, I recommend applying VWAP to your chart and using that as the level to trade against in a similar manner, along with your personal price action analysis and other indicators you find useful.

Average Daily Range Lines + VWAP by TenozenOANDA:EURUSD
Hello! I created an indicator called ADRL (Average Daily Range Lines). This is my first original work, and I hope it's helpful to you guys.
1. Let me explain a bit of how it works...
So first of I need the ADR value, as by default length I use 19 for it. I want this indicator to calculate every start of the new day and break if another new day starts, so if the target level isn't reached, then the value would start to go back to 0 and get the new target level of the day. The target level is based on the first ADR multiplied by how much "percent" we want for the target level to hit, based on the first ADR value of the day. When the new day starts, the algo would start to add up the ADR value. If the added ADR hits the target level, it starts to plot a line by the candlestick by its high, low, and mid-level; it would create a new line if there is a new target being hit. So that's it.
About the VWAP, I took Tradingview's VWAP. I added the anchored part so I can plot a line if there is a new target level being hit. I hope that's okay.
2. How to use it...
- Using this indicator is pretty easy. When a new box is being plotted, that means that's the time when you should trade, as the box is still fresh. The VWAP helps if the market is trending or not.
- You can treat this indicator just like an S&R, as the price tends to respect the box. So best to use it as a pullback trade.
- We can assume if the price above the box, is a buy; vice versa.
3. Best Market to use...
- I suggest a trade in a nonvolatile market. The more volatile the market is, the harder the box is to be respected by the price. But if you really want to trade in that market, I suggest adjusting the inputs by how the box is being respected.
4. Suggestions...
- Use this indicator in 5 minutes chart if you day trade.
- Try using 30 minutes and setting the percent input from 100 to 80 and changing the ADR length from 19 to 14, this is much more suitable if you tend to hold trades.
Rolling Anchored Vwap ExperimentalCurrently only some timeframes, but I can add more, this was made when requesting additional timeframes from the original creator, this was my quick interpretation of the code.
It works by rolling the vwap, so it never resets but is always X amount of time back as the source for the start of data. Its really useful i use it daily.
GMS: VWAP with Percent BandsThis is a pretty straight-forward script. I just wanted to see percent bands around the VWAP after looking at the standard deviation bands for a while and even dabbling with keltner channels. This is the cleanest in my opinion. The script is open so feel free to poke around!
The default settings are below, just to confuse 0.25 with 25%.
0.25 = 0.25%
0.5 = 0.50%
0.75 = 0.75%
PS - it's not multi-timeframe yet. That'll come in the next update.
Hope this helps,
Andre

I used the script "Koalafied VWAP D/W/M/Q/Y" by Koalafied_3 and made some changes, such as adding more standard deviation bands.
The script can display the daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly VWAP.
Standard deviation bands values can be changed (default values are 0.618, 1, 1.618, 2, 2.618, 3).
Also the previous standard deviation bands can be displayed.

Smart VWAP FVG SystemSmart VWAP FVG System - Professional Multi-Filter Trading Indicator
📊 OVERVIEW
The Smart VWAP FVG System is an advanced multi-layered trading indicator that combines institutional volume analysis, multi-timeframe VWAP trend confirmation, and Fair Value Gap detection to identify high-probability trade entries. This indicator uses a sophisticated filtering mechanism where signals appear only when multiple independent confirmation criteria align simultaneously.
Recommended Timeframe: 5-minute (M5) or higher. The indicator works best on M5, M15, and M30 charts for intraday trading.
🎯 ORIGINALITY & PURPOSE
This indicator is original because it combines three distinct analytical methods into a unified decision-making system:
Market Profile Volume Analysis - Identifies institutional accumulation/distribution zones
Dual VWAP Filtering - Confirms trend direction using two independent VWAP calculations
Fair Value Gap Detection - Validates institutional interest through price inefficiency zones
The key innovation is the directional filter system: the primary Market Profile generates BUY-ONLY or SELL-ONLY states based on higher timeframe value area reversals, which then controls which signals from the main system are displayed. This creates a multi-timeframe confluence that significantly reduces false signals.
Unlike simple indicator mashups, each component serves a specific purpose:
Market Profile → Direction bias (trend filter)
Primary VWAP (Session) → Short-term trend confirmation
Secondary VWAP (Week) → Medium-term trend confirmation
FVG Detection → Institutional activity validation
🔧 HOW IT WORKS
1. Primary Market Profile Filter (Higher Timeframe)
The indicator calculates Market Profile on a higher timeframe (default: 1 hour) to determine the overall market structure:
Value Area High (VAH): Top 70% of volume distribution
Value Area Low (VAL): Bottom 70% of volume distribution
Point of Control (POC): Price level with highest volume
When price reaches VAH and reverses down → SELL-ONLY mode activated
When price reaches VAL and reverses up → BUY-ONLY mode activated
This higher timeframe filter ensures you're trading in the direction of institutional flow.
2. Dual VWAP System
Two independent VWAP calculations provide multi-timeframe trend confirmation:
Primary VWAP (Session-based): Resets daily, tracks intraday momentum
Secondary VWAP (Week-based): Resets weekly, confirms longer-term trend
Filter Logic:
BUY signals require: Price > Primary VWAP AND Price > Secondary VWAP
SELL signals require: Price < Primary VWAP AND Price < Secondary VWAP
This dual confirmation prevents counter-trend trades during ranging conditions.
3. Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection
FVG zones identify price inefficiencies where institutional orders were executed rapidly:
Bullish FVG: Gap between candle .high and candle .low (upward imbalance)
Bearish FVG: Gap between candle .high and candle .low (downward imbalance)
The indicator monitors recent FVG formation (lookback: 50 bars) and requires:
Bullish FVG present for BUY signals
Bearish FVG present for SELL signals
FVG zones are displayed as colored boxes and automatically marked as "mitigated" when price fills the gap.
4. Main Trading Signal Logic
The secondary Market Profile (default: 1 hour) generates the actual trading signals:
BUY Signal Conditions:
Price reaches Value Area Low
Reversal pattern confirmed (minimum 1 bar)
Price > Primary VWAP
Price > Secondary VWAP (if filter enabled)
Recent Bullish FVG detected (if filter enabled)
Primary MP Filter = BUY-ONLY or NEUTRAL
SELL Signal Conditions:
Price reaches Value Area High
Reversal pattern confirmed (minimum 1 bar)
Price < Primary VWAP
Price < Secondary VWAP (if filter enabled)
Recent Bearish FVG detected (if filter enabled)
Primary MP Filter = SELL-ONLY or NEUTRAL
All conditions must be TRUE simultaneously for a signal to appear.

⚠️ IMPORTANT WARNINGS & LIMITATIONS
1. Repainting Behavior
CRITICAL: This indicator uses lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on to access higher timeframe data immediately for FVG detection. This is necessary to provide real-time FVG zone visualization but has the following implications:
FVG zones may shift slightly until the higher timeframe candle closes
FVG detection signals are preliminary until HTF bar confirmation
The main trading signals (triangles) appear on confirmed bars and do not repaint
Best Practice: Always wait for the current timeframe bar to close before acting on signals. The filter status and FVG zones are informational but may adjust as new data arrives.
2. Minimum Timeframe
Do NOT use on timeframes below 5 minutes (M5)
Recommended: M5, M15, M30 for intraday trading
Higher timeframes (H1, H4) can also be used but will generate fewer signals
3. Multiple Filters Can Block Signals
By design, this indicator is conservative. When all filters are enabled:
Signals appear ONLY when all conditions align
You may see extended periods with no signals
This is intentional to reduce false positives
If you see no signals:
Check the Info Panel to see which filters are failing
Consider adjusting FVG lookback period
Temporarily disable FVG filter to test
Verify VWAP filters match current market trend
4. Market Profile Limitations
Market Profile requires sufficient volume data
Low-volume instruments may produce unreliable profiles
Value Areas update only on higher timeframe bar close
Works best on liquid markets (major forex pairs, indices, crypto)
📖 HOW TO USE
Step 1: Add to Chart
Apply indicator to M5 or higher timeframe chart
Ensure chart shows volume data
Use standard candles (NOT Heikin Ashi, Renko, etc.)
Step 2: Configure Settings
Primary MP Filter TF: Set to 60 (1 hour) minimum, or 240 (4 hour) for swing trading
Main MP TF: Set to 60 (1 hour) for intraday signals
FVG Timeframe: Match or exceed main MP timeframe
Leave other settings at default initially
Step 3: Understand the Info Panel
Monitor the top-right panel:
FILTER STATUS: Shows current directional bias
NEUTRAL = Both signals allowed
BUY ONLY = Only green triangles will appear
SELL ONLY = Only red triangles will appear
FVG Filter: Shows if bullish/bearish gaps detected recently
VWAP positions: Confirms trend alignment
Step 4: Take Signals
For BUY Signal (Green Triangle ▲):
Wait for green triangle to appear
Check Info Panel shows ✓ for BUY signals
Confirm current bar has closed
Enter long position
Stop loss: Below recent VAL or swing low
Target: Previous Value Area High or 1.5-2× risk
For SELL Signal (Red Triangle ▼):
Wait for red triangle to appear
Check Info Panel shows ✓ for SELL signals
Confirm current bar has closed
Enter short position
Stop loss: Above recent VAH or swing high
Target: Previous Value Area Low or 1.5-2× risk
Step 5: Risk Management
Risk per trade: Maximum 1-2% of account equity
Position sizing: Adjust based on stop loss distance
Avoid trading: During major news events or time filter periods
Multiple confirmations: Look for confluence with price action (support/resistance, trendlines)
🎓 UNDERLYING CONCEPTS
Market Profile Theory
Developed by J. Peter Steidlmayer in the 1980s, Market Profile organizes price and volume data to identify:
Value Areas: Where 70% of trading activity occurred
POC: Price level with highest acceptance (most volume)
Imbalances: When price moves away from value quickly
This indicator uses TPO (Time Price Opportunity) calculation method to build the volume profile distribution.
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)
VWAP represents the average price weighted by volume, showing where institutional traders are positioned:
Price above VWAP = Bullish (institutions accumulated lower)
Price below VWAP = Bearish (institutions distributed higher)
Using dual VWAP (Session + Week) creates multi-timeframe trend alignment.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Also known as "imbalance" or "inefficiency," FVG occurs when:
Price moves so rapidly that a gap forms in the candlestick structure
Indicates institutional order flow (large market orders)
Price often returns to "fill" these gaps (rebalance)
The 3-candle FVG pattern (gap between candle and candle ) is widely used in ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology and Smart Money Concepts.

⚡ PERFORMANCE TIPS
Start Conservative: Enable all filters initially
Reduce Filters Gradually: If too few signals, disable Secondary VWAP filter first
Match Timeframes: Keep MP Filter TF and FVG TF at same value
Backtest First: Review historical performance on your preferred instrument/timeframe
Combine with Price Action: Look for support/resistance confluence
Use Time Filter: Avoid low-liquidity hours (optional setting)

TradeRaven — VWAP Auto Trend Signal Pro)TradeRaven — VWAP Auto Trend Signal Pro
A next-gen VWAP signal engine built for traders who want speed, accuracy, and true institutional clarity — without needing footprint charts or high-end orderflow tools.
This indicator reads what the market is actually doing and classifies every major behavioural shift into instantly recognisable signal states.
What Makes This Tool Different
Most indicators respond after the move.
This one responds to the behaviour that creates the move.
It interprets the real internal pressure behind each candle —
expansion, contraction, absorption, imbalance, continuation —
and instantly classifies the bar into:
CON — Trend Continuation
REV — Mean Reversion
IGN — Ignition
MON — Monster Displacement
EXH — Exhaustion / Absorption
These aren’t random technical alerts.
They are behavioural state transitions, the same shifts professional traders watch when evaluating momentum, failure, and opportunity.
This is why it feels unusually accurate:
it doesn’t chase price — it reads intention.
Universal Engine — Built for Every Market
Because the model is based on structural behaviour around VWAP, not fixed pattern recognition, it adapts seamlessly across a range of instruments
And it works on:
1–5m scalping
Intra-session day trading
Higher timeframe swing structure
If a market has candles, VWAP, and volume,
the engine knows how to classify the move.
Why VWAP Is the Perfect Anchor
VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price — average price weighted by traded volume) is the institutional benchmark for execution and session fairness.
VWAP gives you the map:
Near VWAP → equilibrium (fair value)
Far from VWAP → imbalance (opportunity or risk)
Return to VWAP → reversion / rebalance
Acceleration away → genuine trend commitment
This engine measures how price interacts with that fair-value line and translates the interaction into clear, tradable insights.
VWAP defines the environment.
The engine defines the behaviour.
How the Engine Interprets the Market
Every signal is the result of multi-layer behavioural reading.
The system evaluates:
Trend alignment & slope strength
Compression vs extension from fair value
Expansion velocity (how fast energy is released)
Volatility regime & session volume
Imbalance pressure
Wick rejection at extremes
Structural displacement patterns
This is what gives the signals depth.
They aren’t triggered by simple crossovers.
They only fire when the market shows a true change in internal state.
That’s why the signals feel “alive.”
Sensitivity Modes
Aggressive — fast profiling, more signals
Balanced — the clean default
Sniper — ultra-filtered, higher conviction
These modes shift behavioural thresholds depending on volatility and trend maturity, letting you tailor the tool to your execution style.
Session Filters
Choose the sessions you want the engine active in:
Asia
London
New York
This locks signals to genuine volatility windows instead of low-efficiency zones.
How Traders Use It
1. Start with VWAP Slope
The slope defines the environment:
Upward → pro-trend bias
Downward → sell-side bias
Flat → rotational or mean-reversion conditions
This alone filters most bad trades.
2. Read the Signals as Market Narrative
CON + IGN → Expansion
Ideal for continuation plays and momentum entries.
REV + EXH → Rotation
Perfect for spotting early reversions, failed highs/lows, and areas to reduce risk.
MON → Major Legs
These bars define the session and often mark liquidity breaks or displacement shifts.
You’re not trading signals —
you’re trading the story they reveal.
3. Combine It With Your Own Edge
The engine is designed to enhance:
Orderflow
CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta — measures net aggressive buyers/sellers)
Delta footprint
Market structure
Liquidity plays
Price action scalping
Think of it as orderflow-style clarity
without needing orderflow software.
Why This is a Game Changer
it turns chaos into structure.
it updates instantly.
it shows intention where most indicators show noise.
it helps you understand why the market moves — not just when.
This isn't a traditional “indicator.”
It’s a behavioural engine that maps strength, imbalance, exhaustion, and true momentum in a way that mirrors institutional reading.
In the right hands,
it becomes one of the cleanest, most accurate timing tools you’ll ever use.
Rolling VWAP LevelsRolling VWAP Levels Indicator
Overview
Dynamic horizontal lines showing rolling Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) levels for multiple timeframes (7D, 30D, 90D, 365D) that update in real-time as new bars form.
Who This Is For
Day traders using VWAP as support/resistance
Swing traders analyzing multi-timeframe price structure
Scalpers looking for mean reversion entries
Options traders needing volatility bands for strike selection
Institutional traders tracking volume-weighted fair value
Risk managers requiring dynamic stop levels
How To Trade With It
Mean Reversion Strategies:
Buy when price is below VWAP and showing bullish divergence
Sell when price is above VWAP and showing bearish signals
Use multiple timeframes - enter on shorter, confirm on longer
Target opposite VWAP level for profit taking
Breakout Trading:
Watch for price breaking above/below key VWAP levels with volume
Use 7D VWAP for intraday breakouts
Use 30D/90D VWAP for swing trade breakouts
Confirm breakout with move beyond first standard deviation band
Support/Resistance Trading:
VWAP levels act as dynamic support in uptrends
VWAP levels act as dynamic resistance in downtrends
Multiple timeframe VWAP confluence creates stronger levels
Use standard deviation bands as additional S/R zones
Risk Management:
Place stops beyond next VWAP level
Use standard deviation bands for position sizing
Exit partial positions at VWAP levels
Monitor distance table for overextended moves
Key Features
Real-time Updates: Lines move and extend as new bars form
Individual Styling: Custom colors, widths, styles for each timeframe
Standard Deviation Bands: Optional volatility bands with custom multipliers
Smart Labels: Positioned above, below, or diagonally relative to lines
Distance Table: Shows percentage distance from each VWAP level
Alert System: Get notified when price crosses VWAP levels
Memory Efficient: Automatically cleans up old drawing objects
Settings Explained
Display Group: Show/hide labels, font size, line transparency, positioning
Individual VWAP Groups: Color, line width (1-5), line style for each timeframe
Standard Deviation Bands: Enable bands with custom multipliers (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, etc.)
Labels Group: Position (8 options including diagonal), custom text, price display
Additional Info: Distance table, alert conditions
Technical Implementation
Uses rolling arrays to maintain sliding windows of price*volume data. The core calculation function processes both VWAP and standard deviation efficiently. Lines are created dynamically and updated every bar. Memory management prevents object accumulation through automatic cleanup.
Best Practices
Start with 7D and 30D VWAP for most strategies
Add 90D/365D for longer-term context
Use standard deviation bands when volatility matters
Position labels to avoid chart clutter
Enable distance table during high volatility periods
Set alerts for key VWAP level breaks
Market Applications
Forex: Major pairs during London/NY sessions
Stocks: Large cap names with good volume
Crypto: Bitcoin, Ethereum, major altcoins
Futures: ES, NQ, CL, GC with continuous volume
Options: Use SD bands for strike selection and volatility assessment
