MERCURY by Dr.Abiram Sivprasad - Adaptive Pivot and Ema AlertSYSThe MERCURY indicator is an advanced, adaptive indicator designed to support traders in detecting critical price movements and trend reversals in real time. Developed with precision by Dr. Abhiram Sivprasad, this tool combines a sophisticated Central Pivot Range (CPR), EMA crossovers, VWAP levels, and multiple support and resistance indicators into one streamlined solution.
Key Features:
Central Pivot Range (CPR): MERCURY calculates the central pivot along with below-central (BC) and top-central (TC) pivots, helping traders anticipate areas of potential reversal or breakout.
EMA Crossovers: The indicator includes up to nine EMAs with customizable lengths. An integrated EMA crossover alert system provides timely signals for potential trend shifts.
VWAP Integration: The VWAP levels are used in conjunction with EMA crossovers to refine trend signals, making it easier for traders to spot high-probability entries and exits.
Adaptive Alerts for Breakouts and Breakdowns: MERCURY continuously monitors the chart for conditions such as all EMAs turning green or red. The alerts trigger when a candle body closes above/below the VWAP and EMA1 and EMA2 levels, confirming a breakout or breakdown.
Customizable EMA Dashboard: An on-chart table displays the status of EMAs in real-time, with color-coded indicators for easy readability. It highlights long/short conditions based on the EMA setup, guiding traders in decision-making at a glance.
How to Use:
Trend Confirmation: Use the CPR and EMA alignment to identify uptrends and downtrends. The table colors and alerts provide a clear, visual cue for entering long or short positions.
Breakout and Breakdown Alerts: The alert system enables traders to set continuous alerts for critical price levels. When all EMAs align in one color (green for long, red for short), combined with a candle closing above or below VWAP and EMA levels, the indicator generates breakout or breakdown signals.
VWAP & EMA Filtering: VWAP acts as a dynamic support/resistance level, while the EMAs provide momentum direction. Traders can refine entry/exit points based on this multi-layered setup.
Usage Scenarios:
Day Trading & Scalping: Traders can use the CPR, VWAP, and EMA table to make swift, informed decisions. The multiple EMA settings allow scalpers to set shorter EMAs for quicker responses.
Swing Trading: Longer EMA settings combined with VWAP and CPR can provide insights into sustained trends, making it useful for holding positions over several days.
Risk Management: MERCURY dashboard and alert functionality allow traders to set clear boundaries, reducing impulsive decisions and enhancing trading discipline.
Indicator Composition:
Open-Source: The core logic for CPR and EMA crossovers is presented open-source, ensuring transparency and user adaptability.
Advanced Logic Integration: This indicator implements custom calculations and filtering, optimizing entry and exit signals by merging VWAP, CPR, and EMA in a logical and user-friendly manner.
Chart Requirements:
For best results, use MERCURY on a clean chart without additional indicators. The default settings are optimized for simplicity and clarity, so avoid cluttering the chart with other tools unless necessary.
Timeframes: MERCURY is suitable for timeframes as low as 5&15 minutes for intraday trading and up to daily timeframes for trend analysis.
Symbol Settings: Works well across forex, stocks, and crypto assets. Adjust EMA lengths based on the asset’s volatility.
Example Chart Settings:
Symbol/Timeframe: BTCUSD, 1-hour timeframe (or any symbol as per user preference).
Settings: Default settings for CPR and EMA table.
Chart Style: Clean chart with MERCURY as the primary indicator.
Publishing Considerations:
Invite-Only Access: If setting to invite-only, ensure compliance with the Vendor requirements.
Limit Claims: Avoid making unsubstantiated claims about accuracy, as MERCURY should be viewed as a tool to aid analysis, not as a guaranteed performance predictor.
Example Strategy
This indicator provides signals primarily for trend-following and reversal strategies:
1. Trend Continuation:
- Buy Signal: When the price crosses above both EMA1 and EMA2 and holds above the daily CPR level, a bullish trend continuation is confirmed.
- Sell Signal: When the price crosses below both EMA1 and EMA2 and holds below the daily CPR level, a bearish trend continuation is confirmed.
2. Reversal at Pivot Levels:
- If the price approaches a resistance (R1, R2, or R3) from below with an uptrend and then begins to cross under EMA1 or EMA2, it may signal a bearish reversal.
- If the price approaches a support (S1, S2, or S3) from above in a downtrend and then crosses above EMA1 or EMA2, it may signal a bullish reversal.
Example Setup
- Long Entry
- When the price crosses above the daily pivot point and closes above both EMA1 and EMA2.
- Hold the position if the price remains above the VWAP band and monitor for any EMA crossunder as an exit signal.
- Short Entry:
- When the price drops below the daily pivot and both EMA1 and EMA2 cross under the price.
- Consider covering the position if the price breaks above the VWAP band or if a crossover of EMA1 and EMA2 occurs.
Alerts
Alerts are customizable based on EMA1 & EMA2 crossovers to notify the trader of potential trend shifts.

Options Series - Technical Analysis Chart➤ Simple Technical Chart Only:
➤ With MA-20 Overlay and Volatility background bars:
➤ With RSI Candles:
⭐ Overview and How It Works:
This script provides a multi-asset analysis tool to assess various market conditions across four symbols simultaneously. It combines several indicators such as daily price change, Moving Averages (MA), Bollinger Bands (BB), Parabolic SAR, RSI, and VWAP to generate buy/sell signals and trend indicators. Its strength lies in the layered use of indicators to enhance signal reliability, making it valuable for traders needing cross-validation in decision-making.
⭐ Key Features and Functionality:
The script evaluates each symbol's price against various indicators and conditions:
Daily Price Conditions: It checks if each symbol’s close price is above or below the previous day’s open, close, and intra-day ranges, forming a foundational bullish/bearish condition.
Range Breakout 1st 5min Candle (ORB): Opening Range Breakout levels are calculated and compared with current close prices, detecting breakout/breakdown conditions.
ORB Body: This basically calculates the previous day Daily candle body size, if todays Daily candle body size is greater than previous day, then we can say that we are having good momentum else its likely to be in-sidebar trading.
Moving Averages (MA): It leverages EMA-20, 2-day, and 3-day exponential moving averages to gauge short to medium-term trends.
RSI and VWAP: Relative Strength Index (RSI) determines overbought or oversold conditions, while VWAP compares prices to volume-weighted levels.
Bollinger Bands and Trend Analysis: Detects volatility and potential breakout conditions.
Concept of ORB Body:
Current_PrevDay_Body = (math.max(var_Current_PrevD_Open, var_Current_PrevD_Close) - math.min(var_Current_PrevD_Open, var_Current_PrevD_Close))
Current_Upper_ORB = var_Current_D_Open + Current_PrevDay_Body
Current_Lower_ORB = var_Current_D_Open - Current_PrevDay_Body
Current_TodayDay_Body = math.max(var_Current_D_Open, var_Current_Close) - math.min(var_Current_D_Open, var_Current_Close)
Current_ORBBody = Current_TodayDay_Body > Current_PrevDay_Body
Current_Upper_ORB_bull = (var_Current_Close > Current_Upper_ORB)
Current_Lower_ORB_bear = (var_Current_Close < Current_Lower_ORB)
🎨 Visualizations and User Experience:
The script can dynamically display colored backgrounds indicating trends when conditions are met. For example, the bgcolor function changes the background when certain trend-based criteria are satisfied, offering visual cues to users. Additionally, the checkbox input toggles trend bar visualizations, enhancing user experience by providing a quick visual reference without needing to interpret individual data points manually.
RSI-Based Candle Coloring:
➤ The script customizes candle colors based on RSI thresholds, specifically defining upper (60) and lower (40) RSI levels. When the RSI value exceeds the upper threshold, candles are colored as bullish (green), and if it falls below the lower threshold, candles are colored as bearish (red). Neutral RSI values result in a default color (gray).
➤ This setup offers a visually intuitive way to identify potential trend directions based on RSI levels, making it ideal for traders looking to gauge momentum visually.
⭐ Settings and Customization:
With multiple user-configurable inputs, the script allows for tailored analysis. Customizable parameters, such as enabling/disabling trend bars and setting various look-back periods for indicators like Bollinger Bands and Moving Averages, make it adaptable to various trading styles and preferences. It also allows users to modify visual elements like colors and styles, improving flexibility.
⭐ Uniqueness of the Concept:
The unique aspect of this script is its multi-symbol approach combined with complex conditions. By comparing not only one but four symbols simultaneously, it provides a broader market view and allows traders to correlate signals across different assets, offering a potential edge for diversified or comparative strategies. Additionally, the incorporation of ORB and multi-timeframe MAs gives it a robustness often lacking in simpler single-symbol scripts.
🚀 Conclusion:
This script is a powerful multi-indicator tool suited for traders looking for a comparative, multi-symbol analysis. With features like ORB, Bollinger Band-based trend detection, and MA cross-verification, it can assist traders in identifying and validating trend signals across assets. The user-friendly visualizations and customizable settings further enhance its usability, making it versatile for various trading strategies and preferences.
VWAP it GOODWhy: Instead of having 5 individual VWAP indicators, I found it beneficial for one view with a clean display. This VWAP indicator combines the daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual into one color coded view. These colors and styles can be modified by the user.
A user can turn any timeframe off, but this is how I personally like to trade since it helps me better understand potential bounce or pullback areas.
Do your own research for what is best for you.
Rolling Reversion BandsRolling Reversion Bands: A Technical Trading Indicator
This indicator helps traders spot potential reversal opportunities by showing where price might be overextended and likely to return to average levels. It combines two powerful technical tools - Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) and Hull Moving Average (HMA) smoothing - to create a more reliable signal.
Key Features:
Golden centerline: A smoothed VWAP that filters out market noise
Uses volume-weighted pricing for better accuracy than simple averages
HMA smoothing reduces false signals while staying responsive to real moves
Works like a "fair value" level that price tends to return to
Colored bands:
Turquoise bands (#32f0dd): Show shorter-term price ranges (100 periods)
Pink/red bands (#c2024f): Show longer-term price ranges (200 periods)
Two levels for each color (inner and outer bands)
How to Use It:
When price moves outside the bands, it might be overextended
The golden HMA-smoothed VWAP centerline acts as a target level where price often returns to
Wider bands show higher volatility, narrower bands show lower volatility
You can toggle different bands on/off to keep your chart clean
Customization:
Adjust HMA smoothing to make the centerline more or less responsive
Change how wide you want the bands to be
Turn different bands on or off as needed
The indicator combines advanced technical concepts (VWAP, HMA, volatility bands) in a visually clean way, using smoothing techniques to reduce noise and help identify clearer trading opportunities.
Multi Deviation VWAP [OmegaTools]The Multi Deviation VWAP is an original variation of the traditional VWAP indicator, designed to enhance your trading experience by providing more precise market insights. While the conventional VWAP calculates a single price level based on volume and price over a given period, the Multi Deviation VWAP goes a step further by introducing dynamic upper and lower bands that adapt to market conditions. These bands give traders a more comprehensive understanding of volatility and price action, making it an ideal tool for various trading strategies, especially for identifying potential price reversals or trend continuations.
Key Features:
Separate Calculation of Deviation Bands:
Unlike traditional VWAP bands, where both the upper and lower bands are symmetrically calculated using a single deviation value, the Multi Deviation VWAP calculates the deviations independently for the upper and lower bands. This allows for a more accurate reflection of market dynamics.
The upper deviation band is based on the average distance of closing prices above the VWAP, while the lower deviation band considers the average distance of closing prices below the VWAP.
This separation provides a more tailored approach, adapting to whether the market is showing bullish or bearish momentum, as opposed to a fixed, equal deviation in both directions.
Internal and External Bands:
Two sets of deviation bands are plotted: Internal Bands and External Bands, controlled by user inputs (factorone for internal and factortwo for external). These bands offer multiple levels of support and resistance based on market volatility.
The Internal Bands are closer to the VWAP and act as the first level of support/resistance, suitable for short-term or tighter trading ranges.
The External Bands are further from the VWAP and capture more significant market swings, useful for identifying larger trends or setting wider stop-losses.
Timeframe Flexibility:
The indicator allows traders to select the desired timeframe (1D by default) over which the VWAP and its deviation bands are calculated. This flexibility enables users to adapt the indicator to different trading styles, from intraday scalping to longer-term trend analysis.
Visual Enhancements:
Bullish and Bearish Colors: The bands are color-coded for quick visual interpretation. Bullish bands (lower deviations) are colored blue, while bearish bands (upper deviations) are colored red, making it easy to differentiate between market conditions at a glance.
Plot Fill: The area between the internal and external bands is shaded, providing clear visual zones of potential price containment, aiding in understanding the market structure and anticipating price movements.
How It Differs from a Standard VWAP:
Traditional VWAP provides a single price line that represents the volume-weighted average price over a given period, often used to identify general price trends.
In contrast, the Multi Deviation VWAP introduces upper and lower bands calculated separately based on price deviations above and below the VWAP, giving a more nuanced view of market volatility.
Symmetrical bands in traditional VWAP may not always accurately reflect the market's true behavior, especially in trending markets, where upward and downward price movements aren't always equal. By splitting the deviation calculations, this tool provides a more dynamic and realistic view of price action, adapting to whether the market is showing stronger upward or downward pressure.
Use Cases:
Trend Identification: The VWAP line acts as a central trend line, while the deviation bands offer levels of potential support and resistance. When price moves beyond the external bands, it may indicate overextension and potential reversal.
Volatility Trading: Traders can use the internal and external bands to set dynamic take-profit or stop-loss levels, allowing for flexible risk management depending on market conditions.
Range Trading: In consolidating markets, the Multi Deviation VWAP can help traders identify optimal buy and sell zones as the price oscillates between the upper and lower bands.
By incorporating independent deviation bands, this indicator provides traders with a more responsive tool that reflects market behavior more accurately, helping them make informed trading decisions with enhanced precision.
Realized Price Profit/Loss Margin [VWAP Optimized]Shaded Profit/Loss Margin Oscillator
The Shaded Profit/Loss Margin Oscillator is a powerful tool designed to measure Bitcoin’s Net Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL). This metric reflects the difference between Bitcoin’s current market price and its realized price, which approximates the price at which coins were last moved. By smoothing the NUPL using a moving average, the indicator provides a clean purple oscillator line that helps users easily gauge market sentiment. When the oscillator is above the zero line, the market is in profit, and when it is below zero, participants are generally in a state of unrealized loss. The shaded area between the oscillator and the zero line enhances visual clarity, making it easier to identify potential shifts in market behavior such as profit-taking or capitulation.
Unique Features and Added Value
What sets this indicator apart from traditional NUPL indicators is the use of a volume-weighted average price (VWAP) as a proxy for the realized price. Unlike the original on-chain NUPL metric, which relies on complex on-chain data, this indicator leverages VWAP to provide an approximation of realized price based solely on price and volume data available directly on TradingView. This method makes it highly accessible to traders who don’t have access to on-chain data platforms.
The use of VWAP not only simplifies the calculation but also provides additional value, as it incorporates volume into the realized price estimation. This volume-sensitive approach may offer a more responsive and dynamic reflection of realized prices compared to on-chain models, which can sometimes lag. In essence, this VWAP-based NUPL oscillator offers a unique edge in tracking profit/loss margins, particularly for traders who want a straightforward and efficient way to gauge sentiment without relying on external on-chain data sources. It brings the essence of NUPL into the world of technical analysis in an accessible and actionable way.

Buy Signal:
A buy signal is generated when a green candle (bullish candle) closes above the SMA 20, SMA 200, and VWAP without touching them (i.e., the low of the candle is above all three). This signal will only be plotted for the first such candle of the day to avoid signal clutter.
Sell Signal:
A sell signal is generated when a candle closes below the SMA 20, SMA 200, and VWAP without touching them (i.e., the high of the candle is below all three). Similar to the buy signal, it will only be plotted for the first qualifying candle of the day.
Customization:
SMAs and VWAP: Users can adjust the lengths, colors, and line thickness of the SMAs and VWAP to suit their preferences.
Signal Shape: You can choose from different shapes (arrow, circle, or cross) to represent the buy and sell signals on the chart.
Key Features:
First Candle Only: Both buy and sell signals are generated only for the first candle that satisfies the conditions, ensuring clean and actionable signals.
Visual Customization: Full control over the appearance of the indicator, including signal shapes and line properties.
Works Across Assets: This indicator is applicable to any asset (stocks, forex, crypto) where price action relative to moving averages and VWAP is important.
Auto Anchored Swing VWAP'sThe Auto Anchored Swing VWAP's indicator automatically anchors Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) lines to recent swing highs and swing lows. VWAPs often act as key support or resistance levels because they represent the average price at which the majority of trading volume has occurred over a given time.
What is VWAP? VWAP is an essential tool in trading, representing the average price of a security over a specific period, weighted by volume. It helps traders identify the average price at which most trades have been executed, providing a balanced view of price action over time.
Anchored VWAPs: Unlike traditional VWAPs, which start from the beginning of the day, anchored VWAPs allow traders to "anchor" the calculation to a specific point in time or a pivot on the chart, in this case a swing high and swing low. This version of VWAP follows the price action from a selected point forward.
When the price is above the VWAP, it indicates that the majority of traders have paid less for the asset, creating a potential support zone as buyers may step in at or near this level. On the other hand, when the price is below the VWAP, it suggests that most traders have paid a higher price, which can lead to a resistance level where sellers may appear to defend their positions.
Anchored VWAPs, in particular, provide more precise support and resistance levels by starting from a specific swing high, swing low, or other significant point on the chart. This allows traders to track how price interacts with these levels after a certain bar.
The selectable pivot lookback length in this indicator defines the number of bars to the left and right of a potential swing high or swing low that must be lower (for a swing high) or higher (for a swing low) in order to confirm the pivot. In other words, it controls how many surrounding bars need to validate a local price extreme before it is considered a true swing point.
For example, if the lookback length is set to 9, a swing high is identified when there are 9 bars to the left and 9 bars to the right that all have lower highs than the current bar. The same logic applies for swing lows, where the price must be lower than the highs of the bars to the left and right for it to be considered a swing low.
This parameter allows traders to control the sensitivity of the swing points used to anchor VWAPs. A smaller lookback value will identify more frequent and short-term swing highs and lows, making the VWAPs more responsive to recent price action. Conversely, a larger lookback value will result in fewer but more significant swing points.
Pine Script
Utilization of Pine Script’s Enum Feature: This indicator leverages Pine Script's new enum feature for the selection of the VWAP lines (solid, dashed, or dotted) style.
VWAP Periodic Close [LuxAlgo]The VWAP Periodic Close script offers an advanced tool for analyzing the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) across various timeframes.
This tool enables traders to visualize VWAP close levels for daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly periods, offering a comprehensive view of price behavior across different time frames. It helps in identifying key levels where the VWAP closes at the end of each specified period.
🔶 USAGE
This script is designed to enhance your trading strategy by plotting VWAP close levels on your chart for different time periods. This helps traders easily identify historical VWAP levels and analyze price action relative to these levels, particularly useful for identifying key support and resistance levels providing insights into potential future price behavior.
Supports VWAP closes for multiple timeframes, including historical periods (e.g., 3 months back, 3 quarters back, 3 years back). The labels provide context and detailed information about the VWAP close at a specific point in time and enhance the clarity and usefulness of the VWAP data presented on the chart.
Users can toggle the display of VWAP lines for different periods and customize the colors for each timeframe (e.g., distinct colors for monthly, quarterly, and yearly closes).

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. **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:

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

- Color All Bars: When enabled, all bars on the chart are colored based on whether they close above (green) or below (red) the VWAP.
- Trend Bars Only: This option, when selected, colors only the bars that close beyond the second standard deviation band. It helps in identifying stronger trends and significant market movements.
4. Buy and Sell Signal Conditions: The script includes conditions for buy and sell signals specifically tailored for trend bars. A buy signal is generated when a bar closes above both the VWAP and the upper second standard deviation band, indicating a potential strong uptrend. Conversely, a sell signal is triggered when a bar closes below both the VWAP and the lower second standard deviation band, suggesting a strong downtrend.
5. Alert Conditions: To aid in timely decision-making, the script features alert conditions corresponding to the buy and sell signals.
Usage and Application:
- For Trend Identification: The VWAP and its bands can help identify the prevailing market trend. Bars closing consistently above the VWAP suggest an uptrend, while those closing below indicate a downtrend.
- Volatility Assessment: The standard deviation bands provide a visual representation of market volatility. Narrower bands suggest low volatility, while wider bands indicate high volatility.
- Signal Alerts for Trading: The buy and sell signals, especially those filtered by the trend bars condition, can be valuable for traders looking for strong movement confirmations.
Flexibility and Customization:
This indicator is highly customizable and builds off of the core logic found in standard VWAP indicators. By allowing traders to adjust the standard deviation multipliers and choose their preferred bar coloring strategy. It caters to various trading styles, whether focusing on the broader market trend or pinpointing significant trend-based movements.

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.

Session VWAPS [QuantVue]The Session VWAPS indicator is a designed for traders to enhance their trading analysis by incorporating Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) anchored to custom-defined trading sessions.
This indicator automatically plots VWAPs at three critical points of a user defined session:
🔹session start
🔹session high
🔹session low
Additionally, it provides the option to display the VWAPs from previous sessions, offering a look at potential areas of support and resistance.
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.

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.
How to Use:
• Chart Type: The script is designed for use on standard chart types such as Candlestick and OHLC. It does not support non-standard chart types like Heikin Ashi, Renko, Kagi, Point & Figure, and Range, as they may produce unrealistic results.
• Clean Chart: Ensure your chart is clean and free of other indicators to avoid confusion. The signals and colors plotted by the script should be easily identifiable.
• Trade Confirmation: Use the buy and sell signals generated by the script in conjunction with other analysis methods to confirm trades.
Key Concepts:
• ATR Trailing Stop: This technique sets dynamic stop levels based on market volatility, helping to identify trend reversals.
• VWAP: This indicator provides a benchmark for the average price considering trading volume, helping traders identify fair value.
• EMA Crossover: This adds a layer of confirmation for buy and sell signals, improving the accuracy of trade entries and exits.
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.
