Whale VWAP Heatmap
What it does
This indicator paints a heatmap around an anchored VWAP to make market context obvious at a glance.
Above VWAP → cyan background
Below VWAP → amber background
The farther price is from VWAP (in %), the stronger the color intensity.
How it works
Uses an anchored VWAP that resets on the period you choose (Session / Week / Month / Quarter / Year / Decade / Century / Earnings / Dividends / Splits).
Computes the percentage distance between price and VWAP, then maps that distance to background opacity.
Optional VWAP line can be shown/hidden.
Inputs (Settings)
Anchor Period — choose when VWAP resets (Session→Year, plus E/D/S options).
Source — price source (default hlc3).
Hide on D/W/M (Session only) — hides the script on Daily/Weekly/Monthly when anchor=Session (avoids NA behavior).
Enable Heatmap — turn background coloring on/off.
Max distance for full color (%) — at/above this % from VWAP, color hits full intensity (typical 0.5–2% depending on volatility).
Show VWAP Line / Line Color/Width — visual preference.
How to read it (quick playbook)
Context first: color tells you if price is trading above/below “fair value” (VWAP).
Intensity = how stretched price is from VWAP.
Use it to frame bias (above/below VWAP) and to avoid chasing extended moves.
Notes & limitations
Requires volume (VWAP is volume-weighted). If the data vendor doesn’t provide volume for the symbol, the script will stop.
For intraday, Session anchor is common. For swing/context, try Week or Month.
