VWAP+Trendline+Option OI – Deadly Intraday Setup You Must Learn!

2 252
Hello Traders!
Want a setup that combines price action + smart money data + intraday structure? This is one of my go-to setups for intraday trading that aligns logic with real market strength. If you’re struggling with random entries or early stop-loss hits, this VWAP + Trendline + OI Setup could change the game for you.

Why This Combo Works?
  • VWAP: Shows intraday average price where volume is traded — a key level institutions watch.

  • Trendline: Identifies dynamic support/resistance and the structure of the market move.

  • Option Chain OI: Reveals where the big players are writing or exiting positions in real-time.


How to Use This Setup Effectively
  1. Mark Trendline on 5–15 min Chart:
    Plot rising/falling trendline based on swing highs/lows.

  2. VWAP Re-Test or Bounce:
    Look for price to respect VWAP and trendline together. Avoid entries far from VWAP.

  3. Check Option Chain for OI Confirmation:
    At breakout/bounce level, check if PE (for upmove) or CE (for downmove) is getting unwound, and opposite side is building.

  4. Entry & Exit:
    Enter on candle confirmation (engulfing, breakout candle).
    SL = below trendline or VWAP.
    Target = next resistance/support or 1:2 RR.


When It Works Best
  • Between 9:30 AM – 11:30 AM and Post 1:30 PM:
    Volatility is clear, and smart money flows are easier to read.

  • Low News Days:
    Best when no big data releases are expected.

  • During Expiry Days (with caution):
    OI shift gives clearer confirmation on trending or trapping moves.


Rahul’s Tip
Let VWAP guide you, trendline frame you, and OI validate you. When all 3 align, it’s no longer a guess — it’s precision.

Conclusion
This deadly combo of VWAP, Trendline, and Option OI shift gives you structure, strength, and confirmation — everything a smart intraday trader needs. Backtest this setup, follow your rules, and stop trading blindly.
