Tactical DeviationTACTICAL DEVIATION - Multi-Timeframe VWAP Deviation Tool
Overview
Tactical Deviation shows daily/weekly/monthly VWAP lines with optional standard deviation bands and signal markers when price reaches configured deviation levels and optional filters are met. It is intended to provide statistical context around price distance from VWAP and highlight areas to review.
What It Plots
- Daily/weekly/monthly VWAP lines (independent toggles)
- ±1σ/±2σ/±3σ deviation bands
- Optional fill between ±2σ bands
- Long/short signal markers based on deviation + filters
- Info table with current deviation levels by timeframe
How It Works
1) VWAP is computed per timeframe using volume-weighted price.
2) Standard deviation is calculated from the same volume-weighted data.
3) Deviation levels are defined by how far price is from VWAP in σ units.
4) Signals can require any combination of:
- Minimum deviation level (1σ/2σ/3σ)
- Volume confirmation (spike or momentum)
- Pivot reversal alignment
- RSI overbought/oversold filter
- Multi-timeframe VWAP confluence
5) Optional dynamic multipliers scale bands using ATR% to adapt to volatility.
How To Use
- Use deviation bands to see when price is near VWAP (inside ±1σ) or statistically stretched (outside ±2σ/±3σ).
- Treat signal markers as alerts to review price behavior at extremes, not as guarantees.
- Start with Daily VWAP + ±2σ bands and volume confirmation, then add Weekly/Monthly VWAP for broader context.
Inputs Summary
- VWAP Settings: show daily/weekly/monthly VWAPs
- Deviation Bands: toggle bands and adjust multipliers
- Dynamic Multipliers: scale bands based on ATR%
- Signals: minimum deviation level, volume confirmation, pivot reversal, RSI filter
- Confluence: require agreement from multiple VWAPs
- Visual: line widths, fill opacity, info table
Originality and Combination Rationale
This script combines multi-timeframe VWAP deviation with optional volatility scaling and confirmation filters (volume, pivots, RSI) so that users can evaluate deviations and confirmations within a single, consistent framework rather than multiple separate indicators.
Notes
- Publish and evaluate on standard candles (not Heikin Ashi, Renko, Kagi, Point & Figure, or Range).
- Keep the chart clean with only this script unless additional tools are required and explained.
- No performance claims are made; results depend on market conditions and settings.
Deviationbands
Deviation BandsThis indicator plots the 1, 2 and 3 standard deviations from the mean as bands of color (hot and cold). Useful in identifying likely points of mean reversion.
Default mean is WMA 200 but can be SMA, EMA, VWMA, and VAWMA.
Calculating the standard deviation is done by first cleaning the data of outliers (configurable).
3 Leg Short Strangle BandsDraws 3 leg bands along with safe zone(green lines) based on input
1) Input ATR, Week Day, Current Market Close
2) Input ATR - Previous day 1H Max ATR
3) ADX < 25
4) Input Current Market Close
5) Trading Day - Mon/Tue/Wed/Thu/Fri - Bands distance calculated based on day M/Tu/F 2*(Max ATR), W/Th 1.5(ATR)
6) Safe zone green lines - CMPCls +/- (1.5 * Max ATR)
7) Leg 1 Upper Lower Legs - M/Tu/F - CMPCls +/-(2 * Max ATR), W/Th - CMPCls +/-(1.5 * ATR)
8) Leg 2 & 3 Calculates based on Leg 2 = Leg 1 +/- 100 pts distance, Leg 3 = Leg 2 +/- 100 pts distance'
9) All figures rounded to nearest 100's
10) Safe zone broken exit all positions
This is a popular technic used by Profitable traders on sideway markets for Intraday

WHAT'S THIS...?
Work derived by previous own research for study:
This is mainly an INFINITE IMPULSE RESPONSE FILTERING INDICATOR , it's purpose is to catch trend given by the nature of lag given by a VOLATILITY ESTIMATION ALGORITHM as it's coefficient. It provides as well an INFINITE IMPULSE RESPONSE DEVIATION FILTER that uses the same coefficients of the main filter to plot deviation bands as an auxiliary tool.
The given Filter based indicator provides my own Multi Volatility-Estimators Function with only 3 models:
ELASTIC VOLUME WEIGHTED VOLATILITY : This is a Modified Daigler & Padungsaksawasdi "Volume Weighted Volatility" as on DOI: 10.1504/IJBAAF.2018.089423 but with Elastic Volume Weighted Moving Average instead of VWAP (intraday) for faster (but inaccurate) calculation. A future version is planned on the way using intra-bar inspection for intraday timeframe as described in original paper.
GARMAN & KLASS / YANG-ZANG EXTENSION : As one of the best range based (OHLC) with open gaps inclusion in a single bar.
PETER MARTIN'S ULCER INDEX : This is a better approach to measure realized volatility than standard deviation of log returns given it's proven convex risk metric for DrawDowns as shown in Chekhlov et al. (2005) . Regarding this particular model, I take a different approach to use it as coefficient feed: Given that the UI only takes in consideration DrawDawns, I code myself the inverse of this to compute Draw-Ups as well and use both of them to filter minimums volatility levels in order to create a SLOW version of the IIR filter, and maximums of both to calculate as FAST variation. This approach can be used as a better proxy instead of any other common moving average given that with NO COMPOUND IN TIME AT ALL (N=1) or only using as long as N=3 bars of compund, the filter can catch a trend easily, making the indicator nearly a NON PARAMETRIC FILTER.
