VWAP PressureKey Features and Utility:
Intrabar Focus: Unlike standard VWAP, which provides a cumulative average throughout the day, the Intrabar VWAP focuses on volume-weighted price calculations within shorter time frames. This allows traders to see how price and volume interact moment-to-moment, offering a granular view of market sentiment.
Market Pressure Analysis: The indicator examines the difference between a smoothed weighted average price of the close and intrabar price movements. This analysis helps in identifying the market pressure at high volume areas. When the market exhibits high volume at low prices within a bar, it suggests accumulation, whereas high volume at high prices indicates distribution.
Momentum and Pressure Shift Signals: By applying a modified MACD calculation to the smoothed difference, the indicator provides signals on shifts in market pressure. Positive values indicate upward price momentum (buying pressure), while negative values suggest downward momentum (selling pressure).
Quarterly Rolling VWAP# Quarterly Rolling VWAP Indicator
This custom indicator calculates and displays a Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) that resets at the beginning of each quarter, providing traders with a medium-term perspective on price action relative to trading volume.
## Key Features:
1. **Quarterly Reset**: The VWAP calculation automatically resets at the beginning of each quarter, allowing for a rolling analysis that adapts to changing market conditions.
2. **Standard Deviation Bands**: The indicator includes two sets of bands based on standard deviations from the VWAP, helping to identify potential support and resistance levels.
3. **Customizable Appearance**: Users can adjust the colors of the VWAP line and bands, as well as control the visibility and transparency of the bands.
4. **Flexible Band Multipliers**: The distance of the bands from the VWAP can be adjusted using customizable multipliers.
## Indicator Logic:

- The script uses a function `isNewQuarter()` to determine the start of a new quarter.
- It calculates the timestamp for the start of the current quarter and checks for changes in this value.
2. **VWAP Calculation**:
- The `calcVWAP()` function computes the Volume-Weighted Average Price.
- It maintains running sums of price * volume and volume, which reset at the start of each quarter.
- The VWAP is calculated as the ratio of these sums.
3. **Standard Deviation Calculation**:
- The `calcStdDev()` function computes the standard deviation of price from the VWAP.
- It uses a similar approach to VWAP, maintaining running sums that reset quarterly.
4. **Band Calculation**:
- Two sets of bands are calculated using the VWAP, standard deviation, and user-defined multipliers.
- Upper and lower bands are plotted at 1x and 2x the standard deviation by default, but these are customizable.
5. **Plotting**:
- The main VWAP line is plotted with user-defined color and width.
- Bands are plotted conditionally based on user preference.
- The area between bands is filled with a semi-transparent color for better visualization.
## Trading Applications:
- **Medium-Term Trend Analysis**: The quarterly VWAP provides a broader perspective on price trends compared to daily or weekly VWAPs.
- **Support and Resistance**: The VWAP line and bands can act as dynamic support and resistance levels.
- **Mean Reversion Strategies**: Traders can look for potential reversals when price reaches the outer bands.
- **Volatility Assessment**: The width of the bands gives an indication of recent price volatility relative to volume.
- **Quarter-over-Quarter Comparison**: By resetting each quarter, the indicator allows for easy comparison of price action across different quarters.

5. **Real-time Information**: The current Z-Score and VWAP start information are displayed on the chart, providing immediate context.
6. **Flexible Appearance**: Users can customize colors and choose whether to display bands, enhancing chart readability.
7. **Multiple Alert Conditions**: The indicator includes alert conditions for price crossovers of the VWAP and all band levels.
## How It Works:
1. The indicator calculates the volume Z-Score on a user-specified timeframe, comparing current volume to historical volume over a lookback period.
2. When the volume Z-Score exceeds the threshold, a new VWAP calculation is triggered, resetting the cumulative values used in the VWAP formula.
3. The VWAP is continuously calculated and plotted on the chart, along with upper and lower bands based on price deviation from the VWAP.
4. Traders can use the VWAP line and bands to identify potential support/resistance levels and overbought/oversold conditions.
5. The Z-Score trigger helps ensure that the VWAP remains relevant by adapting to significant changes in trading volume.
## Trading Applications:
- **Dynamic Support/Resistance**: Use the VWAP and bands as potential support and resistance levels that adapt to changing market conditions.
- **Trend Identification**: The slope of the VWAP can help identify the overall trend direction.
- **Mean Reversion**: Look for potential reversals when price reaches the outer bands.
- **Volume Analysis**: The Z-Score trigger points highlight periods of unusual volume, which may precede significant price moves.
- **Risk Management**: Use the bands as potential stop-loss or take-profit levels.
This indicator is suitable for traders who want a more dynamic alternative to traditional VWAP indicators, especially those trading in markets with variable volume patterns. It combines volume analysis with price action, providing a comprehensive view of market behaviour

VWAP Bands [TradingFinder] 26 Brokers Data (Forex + Crypto)🔵 Introduction
Indicators are tools that help analysts predict the price trend of a stock through mathematical calculations on price or trading volume. It is evident that trading volume significantly impacts the price trend of a stock symbol.
The Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) indicator combines the influence of trading volume and price, providing technical analysts with a practical tool.
This technical indicator determines the volume-weighted average price of a symbol over a specified time period. Consequently, this indicator can be used to identify trends and entry or exit points.
🟣 Calculating the VWAP Indicator
Adding the VWAP indicator to a chart will automatically perform all calculations for you. However, if you wish to understand how this indicator is calculated, the following explains the steps involved.
Consider a 5-minute chart. In the first candle of this chart (which represents price information in the first 5 minutes), sum the high, low, and close prices, and divide by 3. Multiply the resulting number by the volume for the period and call it a variable (e.g., X).
Then, divide the resulting output by the total volume for that period to calculate your VWAP. To maintain the VWAP sequence throughout the trading day, it is necessary to add the X values obtained from each period to the previous period and divide by the total volume up to that time. It is worth noting that the calculation method is the same for intervals shorter than a day.
The mathematical formula for this VWAP indicator : VWAP = ∑ (Pi×Vi) / ∑ Vi
🔵 How to Use
Traders might consider the VWAP indicator as a tool for predicting trends. For example, they might buy a stock when the price is above the VWAP level and sell it when the price is below the VWAP.
In other words, when the price is above the VWAP, the price is rising, and when it is below the VWAP, the price is falling. Major traders and investment funds also use the VWAP ratio to help enter or exit stocks with the least possible market impact.
It is important to note that one should not rely solely on the VWAP indicator when analyzing symbols. This is because if prices rise quickly, the VWAP indicator may not adequately describe the conditions. This indicator is generally used for daily or shorter time frames because using longer intervals can distort the average.
Since this indicator uses past data in its calculations, it can be considered a lagging indicator. As a result, the more data there is, the greater the delay.
🟣 Difference Between VWAP and Simple Moving Average
On a chart, the VWAP and the simple moving average may look similar, but these two indicators have different calculations. The VWAP calculates the total price considering volume, while the simple moving average does not consider volume.
In simpler terms, the VWAP indicator measures each day's price change relative to the trading volume that occurred that day. In contrast, the simple moving average implicitly assumes that all trading days have the same volume.
🟣 Reasons Why Traders Like the VWAP Indicator
The VWAP Considers Volume: Since VWAP takes volume into account, it can be more reliable than a simple arithmetic average of prices. Theoretically, one person can buy 200,000 shares of a symbol in one transaction at a single price.
However, during the same time frame, 100 other people might place 200 different orders at various prices that do not total 100,000 shares. In this case, if you only consider the average price, you might be mistaken because trading volume is ignored.
The Indicator Can Help Day Traders: While reviewing your trades, you might notice that the shares you bought at market price are trading below the VWAP indicator.
In this case, there's no need to worry because with the help of VWAP, you always get a price below the average. By knowing the volume-weighted average price of a stock, you can easily make an informed decision about paying more or less than other traders for the stock.
VWAP Can Signal Market Trend Changes: Buying low and selling high can be an excellent strategy for individuals. However, you are looking to buy when prices start to rise and sell your shares when prices start to fall.
Since the VWAP indicator simulates a balanced price in the market, when the price crosses above the VWAP line, one can assume that traders are willing to pay more to acquire shares, and as a result, the market will grow. Conversely, when the price crosses below the line, this can be considered a sign of a downward movement.
🔵 Setting

BooBee Digital - Enhanced Buy & Sell Alerts Suite
BooBee Digital - Enhanced Buy & Sell Alerts Suite
Introduction:
The “BooBee Digital - Enhanced Buy & Sell Alerts Suite” is a comprehensive trading tool designed to provide traders with precise buy and sell signals by integrating the Average True Range (ATR) trailing stop technique and the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) indicator. This script is tailored to help traders make informed decisions by considering both market volatility and trading volume.
How It Works:
1. ATR Calculation:
• Purpose: Measures market volatility to set dynamic stop levels.
• Details: The Average True Range (ATR) is calculated over a user-defined period. The ATR value reflects the average range of price movements over the specified period, which is crucial for assessing market volatility.
2. ATR Trailing Stop:
• Purpose: Identifies potential trend reversals by setting trailing stops based on market volatility.
• Details: The ATR trailing stop is dynamically adjusted using the ATR value and a user-defined sensitivity factor. This trailing stop level helps identify trend reversals by moving in accordance with price fluctuations.
3. VWAP Calculation:
• Purpose: Provides a volume-weighted average price to benchmark fair value.
• Details: The VWAP is calculated by taking the sum of the product of price and volume, divided by the total volume. This indicator gives traders a reference point for the average price at which the asset has traded throughout the day, considering trading volume.
4. EMA Crossover:
• Purpose: Adds a confirmation layer for buy and sell signals.
• Details: A 1-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is used to identify short-term price movements. Buy and sell signals are generated based on the crossover of the EMA and the ATR trailing stop, adding an extra layer of confirmation for trade entries and exits.
Signal Generation:
Buy Signal:
• Generated when the price is above the ATR trailing stop and there is a bullish crossover of the EMA and ATR trailing stop.
• Indicator: Green label below the bar with “Buy” text.
Sell Signal:
• Generated when the price is below the ATR trailing stop and there is a bearish crossover of the EMA and ATR trailing stop.
• Indicator: Red label above the bar with “Sell” text.
VWAP Line:
• The VWAP line is plotted on the chart to help traders identify significant price levels based on trading volume.
• Indicator: Blue line representing the VWAP.

VWAP Bands [UAlgo]The "VWAP Bands " indicator is designed to provide traders with valuable insights into market trends and potential support/resistance levels using Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) bands. This indicator integrates the core concepts of VWAP with additional trend analysis features, making it a versatile tool for both range trading and trend-following strategies.
The VWAP bands are plotted based on the standard deviation multipliers, creating upper and lower bands around the VWAP. These bands serve as dynamic support and resistance levels. When the price approaches these bands, traders can anticipate potential reversals or continuations of the current trend. Additionally, the indicator provides visual cues for trend strength and potential trend changes, helping traders make informed decisions in various market conditions.
🔶 Settings
Source (Data Source): The data source for VWAP calculations. The default setting is the typical price (HLC3), which is the average of the high, low, and close prices.
Length: The number of bars used in the VWAP calculation. This determines the lookback period for the indicator.
Standard Deviation Multiplier: The multiplier applied to the standard deviation to create the primary upper and lower VWAP bands. This setting controls the distance of the bands from the VWAP.
Secondary Standard Deviation Multiplier: The multiplier applied to the standard deviation to create the secondary upper and lower VWAP bands, providing additional levels of support and resistance.
Display Trend: A toggle to enable or disable the display of the trend analysis feature. When enabled, the indicator highlights trend strength and potential trend changes.
Display Trend Crossovers: A toggle to enable or disable the display of trend crossover signals. When enabled, the indicator plots shapes to indicate where trend switches are likely occurring.
🔶 Calculations
The calculations behind the "VWAP Bands " indicator begin with determining the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP), which provides a comprehensive view of the average price of an asset, weighted by trading volume. This gives a more accurate representation of the asset's true average price over a specified period.
The first step in this process involves summing the trading volume over a chosen period, typically represented by the length parameter. Simultaneously, the product of the price (usually an average of the high, low, and close prices) and the trading volume is calculated and summed. By dividing this cumulative price-volume product by the total volume, we obtain the VWAP value. This VWAP serves as the central anchor around which the price action oscillates.
To enhance the utility of VWAP, we introduce standard deviation calculations. Standard deviation measures the extent of price dispersion from the VWAP, providing insight into price volatility. By calculating the variance (which involves the squared deviations of price) and then taking its square root, we derive the standard deviation. This helps in understanding how far prices typically stray from the VWAP.
With the VWAP and standard deviation in hand, we then establish upper and lower bands by adding and subtracting multiples of the standard deviation from the VWAP. These bands act as dynamic support and resistance levels, adapting to changes in market volatility. The primary bands, set by the first standard deviation multiplier, are augmented by secondary bands defined by a larger multiplier, offering additional layers of potential support and resistance.
It also integrates trend analysis, highlighting areas where the price action suggests a strong or weak trend. This is achieved by overlaying colored zones above and below the bands, indicating the strength and direction of the trend. When the price crosses these bands, it signals potential trend changes, aiding traders in making timely decisions.

Practical Application of VWAP Bands
Understanding VWAP
VWAP is a trading benchmark that calculates the average price a security has traded at throughout the day based on volume and price. It is primarily used for intraday trading but can also offer insights during end-of-day reviews.
Using VWAP for Trading
Intraday Trading
Entry and Exit Points: VWAP can help identify optimal buy and sell points. Buy when the price is above VWAP and sell when it's below.
Support and Resistance: VWAP often acts as a dynamic support/resistance level. Prices tend to revert to VWAP, making it a crucial level for intraday traders.
Trend Confirmation
Uptrends and Downtrends: In an uptrend, the price will generally stay above VWAP. Conversely, in a downtrend, it will stay below. Use this to confirm market direction.
Combining with Other Indicators
Moving Averages and Bollinger Bands: Combining VWAP with these indicators can provide a more robust trading signal, confirming trends and potential reversals.
Setting Stop-Loss and Profit Targets
Conservative Stop Orders: Place stop orders at recent lows for pullback trades.
Profit Targets: Use daily highs or Fibonacci extension levels to set profit targets.
Strategies for Using VWAP
Pullback Strategy

Visualization:
The VWAP is displayed as a line on the chart, and the color of the line changes depending on the price position relative to the VWAP:
Green: The current closing price is above the VWAP (bullish signal).
Red: The current closing price is below the VWAP (bearish signal).
Options:
Show barcolors:
This option allows you to display the colors of the candles based on their position relative to the VWAP (green for bullish, red for bearish).
Show previous VWAP close:
This option shows the closing value of the VWAP from the previous period to provide historical reference points.
Interpretation:
Bullish Signal:
If the current price is above the VWAP, this indicates that the market trend is upward, which could be considered a buying opportunity.
Bearish Signal:
If the current price is below the VWAP, this indicates that the market trend is downward, which could be considered a selling signal.
Consolidation VWAP's [QuantVue]Introducing the Consolidation VWAP's Indicator , a powerful tool designed to identify consolidation periods in stock advance and automatically anchor three distinct VWAPs to key points within the consolidation.
Consolidation Period Identification:
The indicator automatically detects periods of consolidation or areas on the chart where a stock's price moves sideways within a defined range. This period can be seen as the market taking a "breather" as it digests the previous gains. Consolidations are important because they often act as a base for the next move, either continuing the previous uptrend or reversing direction.
Consolidation requirements can be customized by the user to match your instrument and timeframe.

Anchored VWAP, or Anchored Volume-Weighted Average Price, is a technical analysis tool used to determine the average price of a stock weighted by volume, starting from a specific point in time chosen by the analyst.
Unlike traditional VWAP, which starts at the beginning of the trading session, the anchored VWAP allows traders to select any point on the chart, such as a significant event, price low, high, or a breakout, to begin the calculation.
VWAP incorporates price and volume in a weighted average and can be used to identify areas of support and resistance on the chart.
VWAP Anchored to Consolidation High: This VWAP is anchored at the highest price point within the identified consolidation period. It helps traders understand the
average price paid by buyers who entered at the peak of the consolidation.
VWAP Anchored to Consolidation Low: This VWAP is anchored at the lowest price point within the consolidation. It provides insights into the average price paid by
buyers who entered at the lowest point of the consolidation.
VWAP Anchored to Highest Volume in the Consolidation: This VWAP is anchored at the price level with the highest trading volume during the consolidation. It reflects the average price at
which the most trading activity occurred, often indicating a key support or resistance level.
The indicator also allows the trader to see past consolidation areas and previous anchored VWAP's.

VWAP DivergenceThe "VWAP Divergence" indicator leverages the VWAP Rolling indicator available in TradingView's library to analyze price and volume dynamics. This custom indicator calculates a rolling VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) and compares it with a Simple Moving Average (SMA) over a specified historical period.
Advantages:
1. Accurate VWAP Calculation: The VWAP Rolling indicator computes a VWAP that dynamically adjusts based on recent price and volume data. VWAP is a vital metric used by traders to understand the average price at which a security has traded, factoring in volume.
2. SMA Comparison: By contrasting the rolling VWAP from the VWAP Rolling indicator with an SMA of the same length, the indicator highlights potential divergences. This comparison can reveal shifts in market sentiment.
3. Divergence Identification: The primary purpose of this indicator is to detect divergences between the rolling VWAP from VWAP Rolling and the SMA. Divergence occurs when the rolling VWAP significantly differs from the SMA, indicating potential changes in market dynamics.
Interpretation:
1. Positive Oscillator Values: A positive oscillator (difference between rolling VWAP and SMA) suggests that the rolling VWAP, derived from the VWAP Rolling indicator, is above the SMA. This could indicate strong buying interest or accumulation.
2. Negative Oscillator Values: Conversely, a negative oscillator value indicates that the rolling VWAP is below the SMA. This might signal selling pressure or distribution.
3. Divergence Signals: Significant divergences between the rolling VWAP (from VWAP Rolling) and SMA can indicate shifts in market sentiment. For instance, a rising rolling VWAP diverging upwards from the SMA might suggest increasing bullish sentiment.
4. Confirmation with Price Movements: Traders often use these divergences alongside price action to confirm potential trend reversals or continuations.
Implementation:
1. Length Parameter: Adjust the Length input to modify the lookback period for computing both the rolling VWAP from VWAP Rolling and the SMA. A longer period provides a broader view of market sentiment, while a shorter period is more sensitive to recent price movements.
2. Visualization: The indicator plots the VWAP SMA Oscillator, which visually represents the difference (oscillator) between the rolling VWAP (from VWAP Rolling) and SMA over time.
3. Zero Line: The zero line (gray line) serves as a reference point. Oscillator values crossing above or below this line can be interpreted as bullish or bearish signals, respectively.
4. Contextual Analysis: Interpret signals from this indicator in conjunction with broader market conditions and other technical indicators to make informed trading decisions.
This indicator, utilizing the VWAP Rolling component, is valuable for traders seeking insights into the relationship between volume-weighted price levels and traditional moving averages, aiding in the identification of potential trading opportunities based on market dynamics.
VWAP RollingThis indicator, referred to here as "VWAP Rolling," is a technical tool designed to provide insight into the average price at which an asset has traded over a specified rolling period, along with bands that can indicate potential overbought or oversold conditions based on standard deviations from this rolling VWAP.
Purpose and Utility:
The indicator's primary purpose is to track the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) over a specified period, typically 20 bars in this script. The VWAP Rolling is particularly useful in assessing the average price level at which a security has been traded over the recent history, incorporating both price and volume data. This can help traders understand the prevailing market price in relation to trading volume.
Advantages:
1. Dynamic Average: Unlike fixed VWAP indicators that calculate over a specific session, the rolling VWAP adapts to recent price and volume changes, offering a more responsive and dynamic average.
2. Volume Sensitivity: By weighting prices by volume, the rolling VWAP gives more importance to periods with higher trading activity, providing a clearer picture of where significant trading has occurred.
3. Standard Deviation Bands: The inclusion of standard deviation bands (configurable as 1x and 2x deviations in this script) around the rolling VWAP adds a layer of analytical depth. These bands can serve as potential areas of support and resistance, highlighting deviations from the mean price.
Singularization and Interpretation:
The VWAP Rolling indicator is singularized by its ability to adapt to changing market conditions, offering a dynamic representation of the average price level influenced by volume. To use and interpret this indicator effectively:
• Rolling VWAP Line: The main line represents the rolling VWAP. When this line trends upwards, it suggests that recent trading has been occurring at higher prices weighted by volume, indicating potential bullish sentiment. Conversely, a downtrend in the rolling VWAP may indicate bearish sentiment.
• Standard Deviation Bands: The upper and lower bands (configurable as 1x and 2x standard deviations from the rolling VWAP) are used to identify potential overbought or oversold conditions. A price crossing above the upper band may indicate overbought conditions, signaling a potential reversal or correction downwards. Conversely, a price crossing below the lower band may suggest oversold conditions, potentially signaling a bounce or reversal upwards.
• Band Interaction: Watch for interactions between price and these bands. Repeated touches or breaches of the bands can provide clues about the strength of the prevailing trend or potential reversals.
Interpretative Insights:
• Trend Confirmation: The direction of the rolling VWAP can confirm or contradict the prevailing price trend. If the price is above the rolling VWAP and the VWAP is rising, it suggests a strong bullish sentiment. Conversely, a falling rolling VWAP with prices below might indicate a bearish trend.
• ean Reversion Signals: Extreme moves beyond the standard deviation bands may signal potential mean reversion. Traders can look for price to revert back towards the rolling VWAP after such deviations.
In summary, the VWAP Rolling indicator offers traders a flexible tool to gauge average price levels and potential deviations, incorporating both price and volume dynamics. Its adaptability and standard deviation bands provide valuable insights into market sentiment and potential trading opportunities.

Relative Average Extrapolation [ChartPrime]Relative Average Extrapolation (ChartPrime) is a new take on session averages, like the famous vwap . This indicator leverages patterns in the market by leveraging average-at-time to get a footprint of the average market conditions for the current time. This allows for a great estimate of market conditions throughout the day allowing for predictive forecasting. If we know what the market conditions are at a given time of day we can use this information to make assumptions about future market conditions. This is what allows us to estimate an entire session with fair accuracy. This indicator works on any intra-day time frame and will not work on time frames less than a minute, or time frames that are a day or greater in length. A unique aspect of this indicator is that it allows for analysis of pre and post market sessions independently from regular hours. This results in a cleaner and more usable vwap for each individual session. One drawback of this is that the indicator utilizes an average for the length of a session. Because of this, some after hour sessions will only have a partial estimation. The average and deviation bands will work past the point where it has been extrapolated to in this instance however. On low time frames due to the limited number of data points, the indicator can appear noisy.
Generally crypto doesn't have a consistent footprint making this indicator less suitable in crypto markets. Because of this we have implemented other weighting schemes to allow for more flexibility in the number of use cases for this indicator. Besides volume weighting we have also included time, volatility, and linear (none) weighting. Using any one of these weighting schemes will transform the vwap into a wma, volatility adjusted ma, or a simple moving average. All of the style are still session period and will become longer as the session progresses.
Relative Average Extrapolation (ChartPrime) works by storing data for each time step throughout the day by utilizing a custom indexing system. It takes the a key , ie hour/minute, and transforms it into an array index to stor the current data point in its unique array. From there we can take the current time of day and advance it by one step to retrieve the data point for the next bar index. This allows us to utilize the footprint the extrapolate into the future. We use the relative rate of change for the average, the relative deviation, and relative price position to extrapolate from the current point to the end of the session. This process is fast and effective and possibly easier to use than the built in map feature.
If you have used vwap before you should be familiar with the general settings for this indicator. We have made a point to make it as intuitive for anyone who is already used to using the standard vwap. You can pick the source for the average and adjust/enable the deviation bands multipliers in the settings group. The average period is what determines the number of days to use for the average-at-time. When it is set to 0 it will use all available data. Under "Extrapolation" you will find the settings for the estimation. "Direction Sensitivity" adjusts how sensitive the indicator is to the direction of the vwap. A higher number will allow it to change directions faster, where a lower number will make it more stable throughout the session. Under the "Style" section you will find all of the color and style adjustments to customize the appearance of this indicator.
Relative Average Extrapolation (ChartPrime) is an advanced and customizable session average indicator with the ability to estimate the direction and volatility of intra-day sessions. We hope you will find this script fascinating and useful in your trading and decision making. With its unique take on session weighting and forecasting, we believe it will be a secret weapon for traders for years to come.

VWAP SuiteThis indicator automates the plotting of various timeframe based VWAP Values. This utilizes a different calculation method for the standard deviations bands compared to the native Tradingview AVWAP. While the Tradingview AVWAP indicator calculates the standard devation based on the VWAP variance, this indicator calculates the std dev based on the price sum variance (i.e. the variance of the hlc3, ohlc4, etc. values).
Current timeframes include:
- Daily VWAP with three user configurable standard deviation bands
- Multi-Day VWAP that allows you to plot 2-day to 5-day VWAP
- Weekly VWAP with three user configurable standard deviation bands
- Monthly VWAP with three user configurable standard deviation bands
Some unique aspects of this indicator is that it allows the user to calculate VWAP for only a specific session range if you are only interested in the VWAP when specific participants are active in the market. For example, the default session range only calculates VWAP for the New York RTH session (0930-1600).
If the user wants to compare how the session range chosen varies from the VWAP calculation with ETH you can select the 'Include Extended Trading Hours' check box which will ignore the session range input variable and simply calculate what is exactly on the chart without filtering.
You can also toggle whether the VWAP values show up in the price scale, status line, or both which can limit the amount of clutter that shows up on the chart based upon the user's preferences.
