VWAPmP (ATR as % Version)This indicator displays a histogram for the distance of closing price from a VWAP value. The VWAP length is rolling and its value is user defined. Additionally, there are 3 bands which are based on the %-value of the underlying ATR. The ATR's length can be chosen by the user, and the distance multipliers may also be chosen. Lastly, there are two simple moving averages which have user-defined lengths and are based on the histograms value.

VWAP - Standard + 3 multi periodThis script combines the standard VWAP with 3 additional period-dependent VWAPs (originally coded by Neolao).
rth vwap and midMidpoint and VWAP are often important inflection points in daytrading. I managed to find a script providing me with a 24 hour session midline by NorthStarDayTrading and a RTH VWAP script by LDBC. So I decided to merge those two to get a RTH mid and vwap.
Rumpy's Donchian Anchored VWAPUses donchian points to anchor VWAPs (start a new VWAP interval). The defaults are set up for a 1H chart, with lookback periods of 1 day, 2 days, 1 week, 2 weeks and 4 weeks for the anchor points.
Green : upper donchian AVWAPs, Red : lower donchian AVWAPS, thin/1day to thickest/4 week.
Option to test whether a new point should be formed from a high or low exceeding the historical high/low over a lookback length or using a closes that exceed the historical high/low.

VWAP-Anchored MACD [BOSWaves]VWAP-Anchored MACD - Volume-Weighted Momentum Mapping With Zero-Line Filtering
Overview
The VWAP-Anchored MACD delivers a refined momentum model built on volume-weighted price rather than raw closes, giving you a more grounded view of trend strength during sessions, weeks, or months.
Instead of tracking two EMAs of price like a standard MACD, this tool reconstructs the MACD engine using anchored VWAP as the core input. The result is a momentum structure that reacts to real liquidity flow, filters out weak crossovers near the zero line, and visualizes acceleration shifts with clear, high-contrast gradients.
This indicator acts as a precise momentum map that adapts in real time. You see how weighted price is accelerating, where valid crossovers form, and when trend conviction is strong enough to justify execution.
It uses gradient line coloring to show bullish or bearish momentum, histogram shading to highlight energy shifts, cross dots to mark valid crossovers, optional buy/sell diamonds for execution cues, and candle coloring to display trend strength at a glance.
Theoretical Foundation
Traditional MACD compares the difference between two exponential moving averages of price.
This variant replaces price with anchored VWAP, making the calculation sensitive to actual traded volume across your chosen period (Session, Week, or Month).
Three principles drive the logic:
Anchored VWAP Momentum : Price is weighted by volume and aggregated across the selected anchor. The fast and slow VWAP-EMAs then expose how liquidity-corrected momentum is expanding or contracting.
Zero-Line Distance Filtering : Crossover signals that occur too close to the zero line are removed. This eliminates the common MACD problem of generating weak, directionless signals in choppy phases.
Directional Visualization : MACD line, signal line, histogram, candle colors, and optional diamond markers all react to shifts in VWAP-momentum, giving you a clean structural read on market pressure.
Anchoring VWAP to session, weekly, or monthly resets creates a systematic framework for tracking how capital flow is driving momentum throughout each trading cycle.
How It Works
The core engine processes momentum through several mapped layers:
VWAP Aggregation : Price × volume is accumulated until the anchor resets. This creates a continuous, liquidity-corrected VWAP curve.
MACD Construction : Fast and slow VWAP-EMAs define the MACD line, while a smoothed signal line identifies edges where momentum shifts.
Zero-Line Distance Filter : MACD and signal must both exceed a threshold distance from zero for a crossover to count as valid. This prevents fake crossovers during compression.
Visual Momentum Layers : It uses gradient line coloring to show bullish or bearish momentum, histogram shading to highlight energy shifts, cross dots to mark valid crossovers, optional buy/sell diamonds for execution cues, and candle coloring to display trend strength at a glance.
This layered structure ensures you always know whether momentum is strengthening, fading, or transitioning.
Interpretation
You get a clean, structural understanding of VWAP-based momentum:
Bullish Phases : MACD > Signal, histogram expands, candles turn bullish, and crossovers occur above the threshold.
Bearish Phases : MACD < Signal, histogram drives lower, candles shift bearish, and downward crossovers trigger below the threshold.
Neutral/Compression : Both lines remain near the zero boundary, histogram flattens, and signals are suppressed to avoid noise.
This creates a more disciplined version of MACD momentum reading - less noise, more conviction, and better alignment with liquidity.
Strategy Integration
Trend Continuation : Use VWAP-MACD crossovers that occur far from the zero line as higher-conviction entries.
Zero-Line Rejection : Watch for histogram contractions near zero to anticipate flattening momentum and potential reversal setups.
Session/Week/Month Anchors : Session anchor works best for intraday flows. Weekly or monthly anchor structures create cleaner macro momentum reads for swing trading.
Signal-Only Execution : Optional buy/sell diamonds give you direct points to trigger trades without overanalyzing the chart.
This indicator slots cleanly into any momentum-following system and offers higher signal quality than classic MACD variants due to the volume-weighted core.

Disclaimer
The VWAP-Anchored MACD is a structural momentum tool designed to enhance directional clarity - not a guaranteed predictor. Performance depends on market regime, volatility, and disciplined execution. Use it alongside broader trend, volume, and structural analysis for optimal results.
VWAP Momentum Oscillator How It Works
Core Calculation Method
The oscillator combines four key market measurements into a single, normalized reading:
1. Price-VWAP Deviation: `(Close - VWAP) / VWAP × 100`
2. VWAP-MA Momentum: `(VWAP - MovingAverage) / MovingAverage × 100`
3. Anchored VWAP Strength: Average of high/low anchor deviations from rolling VWAP
4. Range Position: `(Close - PeriodLow) / (PeriodHigh - PeriodLow) × 100 - 50`
Dynamic Signal Line
The signal line uses an EMA that automatically adjusts its length based on your chart timeframe:
- Futures: Always covers 23 hours of trading (1,380 minutes)
- Stocks: Always covers 6.5 hours of trading (390 minutes)
- Examples: 276 periods on 5-min futures chart, 1,380 periods on 1-min futures chart

Version History & Development
This oscillator evolved from advanced VWAP overlay strategies, transforming complex multi-line analysis into a single, actionable momentum gauge. The indicator maintains the sophistication of institutional VWAP analysis while providing the clarity needed for retail trading decisions.
Core Philosophy
Traditional VWAP indicators show where price is relative to volume-weighted averages, but they don't quantify momentum or provide clear entry/exit signals. This oscillator solves that problem by normalizing all VWAP relationships into a single, bounded indicator that works consistently across all timeframes and asset classes.

This information is further reinforced by coloring the chart candles based on the VWAP trend, enabling quick visual analysis and enhancing decision-making for trend-following strategies. Whether you're trading intraday or longer-term, the ** VWAP Direction Histogram ** offers an intuitive and effective way to align your trades with market trends.
Distance from Vwap// How it Works \\
Measuring the distance of the close price from a higher timeframe VWAP - Volume Weighted Average Price
There is a threshold which is calculated by looking back at the previous x amount of bars and storing the highest/lowest values
If the distance from the vwap stretches above that threshold, the histogram will go green if price is above VWAP and red if its below the vwap
If the distance from the vwap reaches below the low threshold you will see the histogram flashes orange
// Settings \\
In the settings you have the ability to change what timeframe the indicator is calculated on, as well as this you can change the timeframe the VWAP is calculated on.
I always recommend using a higher timeframe vwap as they tend to me more respected
e.g on the hourly timeframe, I use the weekly VWAP, on 1 minute timeframe you may want to use 4 hour timeframe but obviously feel free to experiment
// Use Case \\
When histogram is flashing green, prices is pulling far away from the vwap, obviously you don't want to be buying a falling knife but if you have levels of confluence this can help spot reversals.
I personally wait until the first candle after its been green to get confirmation of the fall weakening. Vica versa for reds and shorts/sells.
When you see orange flashes, this shows that price has been consolidating and the price is very close to the higher time frame VWAP which could be considered a safe entry point as they tend to lead to a big move to follow
// Suggestions \\
Happy for anyone to make any suggestions on changes which could improve the script,

VWAP Multiple [Huntersull]This is a VWAP/Price multiple analysis, in the same vein as something like the Mayer multiple.
It finds the VWAP of price and volume starting at the bar you choose when initiating the script (You can also drag the starting point line on the chart to change it later), and calculates the running VWAP total for every following bar until the current bar.
It then takes the hlc3 of price for each bar and divides it by the VWAP value of that bar, giving a multiple over VWAP price.
This is then charted with your choice of an SMA, EMA, or WMA using VWAP as the source, and a default length of 200, which is also modifiable.
When VWAP is over the moving average, it is filled green. When VWAP is below the moving average, it is filled red.
--------------------------------------------
This is not meant to be a trading indicator, but a tool for general bull/bear market and trend analysis. Use at your own risk.
Multiple Anchored VWAP [Morty]The Anchored VWAP (aVWAP) indicator ties VWAP calculations to a specific price bar chosen by the trader. Anchored VWAP allows you to specify the price bar where calculations begin, making it easy to see whether the bulls or bears have been in charge since a very specific point in time. The starting price bar that is chosen generally marks a shift in market psychology, such as a significant high or low, earnings, news, or other announcements. The Anchored VWAP line is charted using price and volume data from that significant event onward.
This indicator plots up to 4 aVWAP lines in the chart.
Features:
- plot up to 4 aVWAP lines
- custom start date of aVWAP
- custom line color
- optional label of starting price bar
- optional custom resolution

Multi-Day VWAP
Chart the multi-day Volume Weighted Average Price ( VWAP ). Normally, the VWAP is tracked for the current day, from the first bar of the day (regular or extended session). The VWAP shows the current value of:
-> sum(hlc3 * volume , barsForDay) / sum( volume , barsForDay),
-> where 'barsForDay' is the total number bars that have elapsed during the day for the chart interval.
The multi-day version tracks the VWAP for N days back, by averaging the previous N - 1 day bars VWAP and the current VWAP for the current bar (chart interval).
This is very different that simply using a volume weighted moving average , since the closing VWAP values are used for the historical day bars. The results are interesting for intraday trades... especially for values of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 days.
Enjoy.
Moving VWAP-KAMA CloudMoving VWAP-KAMA Cloud
Overview
The Moving VWAP-KAMA Cloud is a high-conviction trend filter designed to solve a major problem with standard indicators: Noise. By combining a smoothed Volume Weighted Average Price (MVWAP) with Kaufman’s Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA), this indicator creates a "Value Zone" that identifies the true structural trend while ignoring choppy price action.
Unlike brittle lines that break constantly, this cloud is "slow" by design—making it exceptionally powerful for spotting genuine trend reversals and filtering out fakeouts.
How It Works
This script uses a unique "Double Smoothing" architecture:
The Anchor (MVWAP): We take the standard VWAP and smooth it with a 30-period EMA. This represents the "Fair Value" baseline where volume has supported price over time.
The Filter (KAMA): We apply Kaufman's Adaptive Moving Average to the already smoothed MVWAP. KAMA is unique because it flattens out during low-volatility (choppy) periods and speeds up during high-momentum trends.
The Cloud:
Green/Teal Cloud: Bullish Structure (MVWAP > KAMA)
Purple Cloud: Bearish Structure (MVWAP < KAMA)
🔥 The "Reversal Slingshot" Strategy
Backtests reveal a powerful behavior during major trend changes, particularly after long bear markets:
The Resistance Phase: During a long-term downtrend, price will repeatedly rally into the Purple Cloud and get rejected. The flattened KAMA line acts as a "concrete ceiling," keeping the bearish trend intact.
The Breakout & Flip: When price finally breaks above the cloud with conviction, and the cloud flips Green, it signals a structural regime change.
The "Slingshot" Retest: Often, immediately after this flip, price will drop back into the top of the cloud. This is the "Slingshot" moment. The old resistance becomes new, hardened support.
The Rally: From this support bounce, stocks often launch into a sustained, multi-month bull run. This setup has been observed repeatedly at the bottom of major corrections.
How to Use This Indicator
1. Dynamic Support & Resistance
The KAMA Wall: When price retraces into the cloud, the KAMA line often flattens out, acting as a hard "floor" or "wall." A break of this wall usually signals a genuine trend change, not just a stop hunt.
2. Trend Confirmation (Regime Filter)
Bullish Regime: If price is holding above the cloud, only look for Long setups.
Bearish Regime: If price is holding below the cloud, only look for Short setups.
No-Trade Zone: If price is stuck inside the cloud, the market is traversing fair value. Stand aside until a clear winner emerges.
3. Multi-Timeframe Versatility
While designed for trend confirmation on higher timeframes (4H, Daily), this indicator adapts beautifully to lower timeframes (5m, 15m) for intraday scalping.
On Lower Timeframes: The cloud reacts much faster, acting as a dynamic "VWAP Band" that helps intraday traders stay on the right side of momentum during the session.
Settings
Moving VWAP Period (30): The lookback period for the base VWAP smoothing.
KAMA Settings (10, 10, 30): Controls the sensitivity of the adaptive filter.
Cloud Transparency: Adjust to keep your chart clean.
Alerts Included
Price Cross Over/Under MVWAP
Price Cross Over/Under KAMA
Cloud Flip (Bullish/Bearish Trend Change)
Tip for Traders
This is not a signal entry indicator. It is a Trend Conviction tool. Use it to filter your entries from faster indicators (like RSI or MACD). If your fast indicator signals "Buy" but the cloud is Purple, the probability is low. Wait for the Cloud Flip

Kalman Based VWAP [EdgeTerminal]Kalman VWAP is a different take on volume-weighted average price (VWAP) indicator where we enhance the results with Kalman filtering and dynamic wave visualization for a more smooth and improved trend identification and volatility analysis.
A little bit about Kalman Filter:
Kalman filtering (also known as linear quadratic estimation) is an algorithm that uses a series of measurements observed over time, including statistical noise and other inaccuracies, to produce estimates of unknown variables that tend to be more accurate than those based on a single measurement, by estimating a joint probability distribution over the variables for each time-step. The filter is constructed as a mean squared error minimiser, but an alternative derivation of the filter is also provided showing how the filter relates to maximum likelihood statistics
This indicator combines:
Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) for institutional price levels
Kalman filtering for noise reduction and trend smoothing
Dynamic wave visualization for volatility zones
This creates a robust indicator that helps traders identify trends, support/resistance zones, and potential reversal points with high precision.
What makes this even more special is the fact that we use open price as a data source instead of usual close price. This allows you to tune the indicator more accurately when back testing it and generally get results that are closer to real time market data.
The math:
In case if you're interested in the math of this indicator, the indicator employs a state-space Kalman filter model:
State Equation: x_t = x_{t-1} + w_t
Measurement Equation: z_t = x_t + v_t
x_t is the filtered VWAP state
w_t is process noise ~ N(0, Q)
v_t is measurement noise ~ N(0, R)
z_t is the traditional VWAP measurement
The Kalman filter recursively updates through:
Prediction: x̂_t|t-1 = x̂_{t-1}
Update: x̂_t = x̂_t|t-1 + K_t(z_t - x̂_t|t-1)
Where K_t is the Kalman gain, optimally balancing between prediction and measurement.
Input Parameters
Measurement Noise: Controls signal smoothing (0.0001 to 1.0)
Process Noise: Adjusts trend responsiveness (0.0001 to 1.0)
Wave Size: Multiplier for volatility bands (0.1 to 5.0)
Trend Lookback: Period for trend determination (1 to 100)
Bull/Bear Colors: Customizable color schemes
Application:
I recommend using this along other indicators. This is best used for assets that don't have a close time, such as BTC but can be used with anything as long as the data is there.
With default settings, this works better for swing trades but you can adjust it for day trading as well, by adjusting the lookback and also process noise.
VWAP SpiderThe VWAP Spider indicator enhances the conventional Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) analysis by anchoring it to the first candle and incorporating an extensive series of standard deviation (SD) lines, extending up to +8 SDs with additional half-step increments. This configuration provides a more suitable set of lines for identifying support and resistance, distinguishing it from existing VWAP and SD indicators. Its design, featuring color gradients for fills and distinct labels for each line, aims to improve the utility and user experience.
Optimal Timeframes:
It is recommended for use on weekly or monthly resolutions to ensure all price and volume history is included.
Distinctive Features:
The indicator includes a more extensive array of SD lines than typically found in VWAP indicators, enhancing the depth of market analysis.
The visual presentation is optimized with color gradients and clear labeling, facilitating ease of use and integration into trading strategies.
Practical Use of the VWAP Spider:
SD Lines as Support and Resistance : Observe the interactions between the price and the SD lines closely. These can serve as dynamic support and resistance indicators, influencing trading decisions.
Analyzing Historical Price Action : Investigate how the price has historically interacted with the SD lines. Identify which lines have frequently acted as support and resistance in the past, as they will often continue to be revisited.
Strategic Application : Leverage insights from the interactions between price and SD lines to fine-tune entry and exit points. For example, a rebound from an SD line may suggest a strong entry point, while breaching an SD line could indicate a potential exit.
This indicator is freely available and open-source on TradingView for all. It is designed to help traders enhance their market analysis and strategic decision-making.
