Smart Swing VWAP (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Smart Swing VWAP (Zeiierman) is an adaptive price-volume tool that automatically selects meaningful swing highs and lows as VWAP anchors. Instead of relying on one fixed swing period, the indicator analyzes five configurable swing scales and ranks their current structure using price movement, volatility, volume participation, swing size, and agreement between scales.
Once the strongest qualifying swing is selected, the indicator builds a decayed, volume-weighted average from that anchor. Recent price and volume receive more influence, while older data gradually loses importance. This allows the VWAP to remain responsive during active markets without becoming excessively noisy during quieter conditions.
Blending multi-scale swing structure with an adaptive VWAP engine creates a dynamic fair-value path that stays connected to current market behavior. This makes trend pullbacks, structural breaks, retests, continuation setups, and mean-reversion areas easier to identify.
Smart Swing VWAP builds upon the foundation of Dynamic Swing Anchored VWAP (Zeiierman) , which introduced swing-based re-anchoring combined with an adaptive, decayed volume-weighted average. This version expands that concept with five-scale swing analysis, matrix-based anchor ranking, anchor quality filters, structural break handling, selectable line behavior, and automated retest detection.
█ How It Works
⚪ Smart Swing Selection
The indicator tracks five swing scales simultaneously. Each candidate is evaluated using cross-scale agreement, swing range, directional progress, volatility expansion, and volume participation.
float sc = 100.0 * (0.25 * cs + 0.20 * rg + 0.55 * en)
Only swings that pass the Minimum Anchor Score, Minimum Move Strength, and Bars Between New Anchors requirements can become the active VWAP anchor. This helps prevent constant re-anchoring during noisy or overlapping market structure.
⚪ Adaptive VWAP
Once an anchor is selected, the script calculates a decayed volume-weighted average. Recent price and volume matter more, while older observations gradually lose influence.
pv := (1.0 - alx) * pv + alx * hlc3 * vi
vv := (1.0 - alx) * vv + alx * vi
vw := vv > 0 ? pv / vv : na
Price Tracking Speed controls the base responsiveness. The optional volatility adjustment compares current ATR with its average, allowing the VWAP to react faster during volatility expansion and move more smoothly during quieter conditions.
⚪ Structure And Line Behavior
After an anchor is accepted, the indicator tracks the strongest opposite swing. A confirmed close through the active structural level changes the bullish or bearish state.
Users can choose between two behaviors:
Recolor Entire Active Line: Keeps one continuous VWAP and recolors the complete active path when structure changes.
Preserve Old Color And Start New Segment: Keeps the previous color visible and begins a new segment from the confirmed structure-break bar.
⚪ Historical Anchor Reconstruction
When a swing wins the ranking process, the indicator rebuilds the active VWAP from the original swing bar. This displays the complete price-volume path that developed from the selected structure point.
The anchor is only accepted after the ranking conditions are confirmed. The reconstructed historical line does not mean the winning swing was known in real time at the original pivot bar.
█ Why This Adaptive Approach Beats a Simple VWAP
Standard anchored VWAP uses one manually selected starting point. Its usefulness depends heavily on whether that anchor remains important as market structure changes.
A cumulative VWAP can also become increasingly resistant to new price information because every historical price-volume observation remains permanently included. During long trends or multi-session moves, this can cause the VWAP to drift far away from the current price.
Smart Swing VWAP addresses these problems in three ways:
⚪ Smart Multi-Scale Anchoring
Instead of using one fixed swing period, the indicator compares several structural horizons.
Shorter scales react to fast local movement, while longer scales identify broader market pivots. The ranking system selects the swing with the strongest combination of agreement, range, movement quality, volatility, and volume participation.
⚪ Decayed Price-Volume Weighting
Older information gradually loses influence instead of remaining permanently dominant.
This allows the VWAP to stay closer to the market’s current perception of fair value and can create more relevant pullbacks and retests than a traditional cumulative VWAP.
⚪ Volatility-Aware Responsiveness
Markets do not move at one constant speed.
High Volatility → faster tracking: The VWAP responds more quickly and remains closer to active price movement.
Low Volatility → smoother tracking: The VWAP filters smaller fluctuations and remains more stable.
Result: A structure-aware VWAP that can adapt its anchor, responsiveness, and directional presentation as market conditions evolve.
█ How to Use
⚪ Trend Trading
During bullish structure, the green VWAP can act as a dynamic support reference. Look for price to remain above the line, pull back toward it, and then show renewed buying pressure.
During bearish structure, the red VWAP can act as a dynamic resistance reference. Look for price to remain below the line, retrace toward it, and then show renewed selling pressure.
█ Settings
Pivot Scales: Enables or disables each swing scale used by the ranking engine. More active scales provide broader structural comparison.
Length: Number of bars used to detect swing highs and lows for each scale. Smaller = faster and noisier; larger = slower and cleaner.
After Structure Break: Chooses whether the entire active VWAP changes color or the previous color is preserved and a new segment begins.
Price Tracking Speed: Sets the base VWAP reaction speed. Lower = faster and tighter to price; higher = smoother and slower.
Adjust Speed With Volatility: When ON, tracking speed automatically adjusts using current ATR relative to its average. High volatility = faster; low volatility = smoother.
Volatility Adjustment Strength: Controls how strongly volatility changes the tracking speed. Higher values = stronger adjustment.
Minimum Anchor Score: Minimum total ranking score required before a swing can become the active VWAP anchor. Higher = fewer, more selective anchors.
Minimum Move Strength: Requires directional progress, volatility expansion, and volume participation before accepting a swing. Higher = stronger moves only.
Bars Between New Anchors: Minimum number of confirmed bars before another swing can replace the active anchor. Higher = fewer anchor changes.
Retest Touch Zone (ATR): Maximum distance from the VWAP that counts as a retest touch. Higher = wider touch zone.
Retest Setup Distance (ATR): Minimum distance price must first move away from the VWAP before a later return can trigger a retest.

Indicator
EMA Bounce Futures System - Clean MTFEMA BOUNCE FUTURES SYSTEM — VWAP ALERTS & MTF CONFIRMATION
This indicator is based on the primary setup I personally use when trading futures. It combines multiple exponential moving averages, session VWAP, pullback and rejection detection, higher-timeframe confirmation, risk-based profit targets, and configurable VWAP proximity alerts.
The purpose of this indicator is not to predict every market movement or automatically tell a trader when to enter. It is designed to organize the information I already use when evaluating a setup and make it easier to recognize when price is approaching an area that may deserve attention.
MAIN FEATURES
MULTIPLE EMA TREND STRUCTURE
The indicator plots the following moving averages:
• 9 EMA
• 21 EMA
• 50 EMA
• 100 EMA
• 200 EMA
These averages are used to evaluate short-term momentum, broader trend direction, and possible pullback or rejection areas.
AUTOMATIC TRADING MODES
The indicator can automatically adjust its setup logic based on the chart timeframe.
Scalp Mode
Designed for lower-timeframe futures trading. It prioritizes faster moving averages, shorter swing calculations, and closer profit targets.
Intraday Mode
Designed for moderate intraday timeframes. It uses slower trend confirmation and wider risk-to-reward targets.
Swing Mode
Designed for higher timeframes. It prioritizes deeper EMA pullbacks and broader trend structure.
The mode can be selected manually or left on Auto.
EMA BOUNCE DETECTION
The indicator looks for price to pull back into an eligible EMA and close back away from it with rejection.
A potential long setup generally requires:
• Bullish trend conditions
• Price touching or moving through an eligible EMA
• A bullish rejection candle
• The closing price remaining within the selected maximum entry distance
A potential short setup uses the opposite conditions.
The signal label identifies which EMA generated the possible setup.
ENTRY, STOP, AND PROFIT TARGETS
When a qualifying setup appears, the indicator can display:
• Entry price
• Stop-loss level
• TP1
• TP2
• TP3
• Tick distance
• Approximate contract value
The stop is based on a recent swing high or swing low. Profit targets are calculated as multiples of the initial risk.
These levels are references for trade planning. They are not automatic orders.
VWAP APPROACH ALERTS
The indicator can notify the trader when price enters a selected proximity zone around VWAP.
Separate alert conditions are available for:
• Approaching VWAP from above
• Approaching VWAP from below
• Any VWAP approach
• Dynamic alerts containing the symbol, current price, VWAP price, and distance in ticks
The VWAP alert is intended to provide an early warning. It is not automatically a long or short signal.
Price may reject VWAP, consolidate around it, continue through it, or completely reverse. Market structure and confirmation still matter.
HIGHER-TIMEFRAME CHECK
The indicator includes a configurable higher-timeframe EMA check.
An “HTF?” label may appear when a deeper lower-timeframe rejection aligns with the selected higher-timeframe trend conditions.
This label is a reminder to inspect the higher-timeframe chart. It should not be treated as an automatic entry signal.
MY PREFERRED STARTING SETTINGS
These are the settings I generally use as a starting point for lower-timeframe futures trading:
• Mode: Auto or Scalp
• Higher Timeframe: 15 minutes
• Maximum Entry Distance From Bounce EMA: 20 ticks
• VWAP Alert Distance: 20 ticks
• Show Only Latest Setup: On
• Show VWAP Approach Flags: On
• Wait For Bar Close: Off
I may enable Wait For Bar Close when I want fewer intrabar alerts and more confirmation.
The appropriate VWAP distance depends on the contract, timeframe, and current volatility. A 20-tick setting may be reasonable for one instrument but too close or too far for another.
HOW I USE THE INDICATOR
This is primarily a pullback and confluence tool.
I generally use it to identify situations where:
• The broader trend is established
• Price pulls back toward an important EMA or VWAP
• The pullback shows rejection
• Higher-timeframe structure supports the idea
• The stop location is reasonable
• The available reward justifies the risk
I do not take every signal that appears.
I still consider:
• Overall market structure
• Support and resistance
• Trend strength
• Consolidation
• News and economic releases
• Time of day
• Volatility
• Distance from major levels
• Whether the trade has a logical invalidation point
THIS IS NOT A CHEAT CODE
This indicator does not eliminate risk, prevent losses, or guarantee profitable trades.
An alert only means that the programmed conditions have been met. It does not mean that price must reverse, continue, or respect the indicated level.
The indicator cannot account for every market condition, including sudden volatility, breaking news, low liquidity, slippage, emotional decision-making, or poor risk management.
The trader is still responsible for deciding:
• Whether market conditions are appropriate
• Whether the setup is valid
• Where to enter
• How much to risk
• When to exit
• When not to trade
The strongest use of this indicator is as a structured decision-support tool alongside experience, discipline, and risk management.

VWAP ReclaimVWAP Reclaim–Retest Created by Claude — User Guide
A mechanical PulseWire indicator (Pine Script v6) for trading VWAP reclaims and rejections. It is built for a 5-minute chart but will run on any timeframe. It does not place trades — it identifies setups, marks entry/stop/target levels, and can fire alerts.
---
What it does
The indicator watches price relative to a daily-anchored VWAP and only signals when a specific three-step sequence completes. The point of the sequence is to stop you entering on the raw cross (which gets chopped to pieces) and instead wait for price to prove it can hold the level.
Long sequence
Reclaim — price closes above VWAP (a crossover).
Retest — within a set number of bars, price pulls back to VWAP but closes back above it. This is the "does it hold?" test. The candle that does this becomes the retest candle, and its high is recorded.
Trigger — a later candle breaks above the retest candle's high. That break is the entry.
Short sequence is the mirror image: price closes below VWAP, pops back up to VWAP but closes back below, then a later candle breaks below the retest candle's low.
A setup is abandoned (reset to idle) if price closes back through VWAP before the trigger, or if too many bars pass without a retest or trigger. This is what keeps stale setups from firing late.
---
The regime filter (why this matters most)
Reclaims only pay on directional days. On a chop/range day, price ping-pongs across VWAP and every reclaim fails. The regime filter ties each direction to VWAP's slope:
Longs only fire when VWAP is flat-to-rising.
Shorts only fire when VWAP is flat-to-falling.
Slope is measured by comparing the current VWAP to its value N bars ago (the slope lookback). This single filter removes most of the counter-trend losers. You can turn it off to see every raw setup, but leaving it on is the recommended default.
---
Reading the chart
Element Meaning
VWAP line Daily-anchored VWAP. Green = rising, red = falling, gray = flat. The color is the regime.
Shaded bands Optional ±standard-deviation bands around VWAP. Useful as context: price stretched to the outer band is extended.
LONG / SHORT triangle A confirmed trigger. Appears on the close of the trigger bar.
Entry / Stop / Target lines Drawn at each signal. Entry = the break level. Stop = beyond the retest swing plus an ATR buffer. Target = entry ± (R multiple × risk).
Background tint Faint green or red while a setup is building (reclaimed or armed) but not yet triggered — your early warning.
Status panel (top-right) Live state of each side and the current VWAP direction. States: Idle → Reclaimed → await retest → Retest → ARMED. "ARMED" means a valid retest is in place and the next break will trigger.
---
Settings, group by group
Direction
Trade long reclaims / Trade short reclaims — turn each side on or off independently. Disable one to focus, e.g. longs only on a strong up day.
VWAP
VWAP source — the price the VWAP is built from. Default `hlc3` (the standard). Change to `close` if you prefer a close-based VWAP.
Show ±SD bands — toggle the standard-deviation bands.
Band multiplier — how many standard deviations the bands sit at (1.0 default). Raise for wider context bands.
Regime filter (VWAP slope)
Only trade with VWAP slope — the regime filter described above. On by default. The single biggest filter against chop.
Slope lookback (bars) — how far back to measure slope. Lower = more sensitive (reacts fast, more flips); higher = smoother (only strong trends qualify). 10 is a reasonable 5-minute default.
Reclaim / Retest mechanics
Retest proximity (ticks to VWAP) — how close the pullback must get to VWAP to count as a retest. `0` = price must actually touch VWAP. Increase to allow near-misses where price pulls back toward VWAP but doesn't quite tag it. This is tick-based, so the right value differs by instrument (ES ticks are 0.25; a stock might be 0.01) — calibrate per symbol.
Max bars: reclaim → retest — how long after a reclaim the indicator will wait for a retest before giving up. Too low misses slow pullbacks; too high lets stale setups linger.
Max bars: retest → trigger — same idea for the window between a valid retest and the breakout trigger.
Stop / Target
ATR length — lookback for the ATR used to pad the stop.
ATR buffer beyond level — how far past the retest swing the stop sits, in ATR multiples. 0.5 = half an ATR of breathing room. Raise it if you're getting wicked out, lower it for tighter risk.
Target (R multiple) — where the target line is drawn, as a multiple of risk. 1.5 means the target is 1.5× the distance from entry to stop. This sets the displayed reward, not a hard rule — you can still manage the trade manually.
Session filter
Restrict signals to a session — off by default. Turn on to ignore signals outside a chosen window.
Session — the time window, e.g. `0945-1130` to skip the open spike and lunch chop, or `0930-1600` for the full regular session.
Timezone — the timezone the session string is read in. Default `America/New_York`.
Visuals
VWAP rising / falling / flat colors — the three slope colors.
Entry / Stop / Target colors — the three level-line colors.
Level line length (bars) — how far to the right the entry/stop/target lines extend.
Level line width — thickness of those lines.
Label size — tiny / small / normal / large for the price labels.
Show status panel — toggle the top-right state table.
Tint background while a setup is forming — toggle the faint background shading during the reclaim/armed phase.
Alerts
Three `alertcondition`s are exposed when you create an alert in PulseWire: Long, Short, and Any. Pick one, set it to "Once per bar close" so it matches how signals confirm.
---
A suggested workflow
Put it on a 5-minute chart of a symbol that has volume (VWAP needs volume to compute).
Leave the regime filter on. Watch the VWAP color — that tells you which direction the indicator will even consider.
When the background tints and the status panel shows ARMED, a break is imminent; that's your prep signal.
On the triangle, the entry/stop/target lines show you the trade's geometry. Check that the target isn't sitting right on top of an obvious level (prior day high/low, round number) that would cap the move.
Forward-test on paper for 30–50 signals before sizing up. Tune one setting at a time — retest proximity and slope lookback have the biggest effect on how many signals you get and how clean they are.
---
Honest caveats
Signals confirm on the close of the trigger bar. This is the non-repainting behavior, but it means the marker appears slightly after the intrabar break where a live stop order would actually fill. The entry line shows the real break level.
The retest proximity is tick-based and must be calibrated per instrument.
It's an analysis tool, not advice. A clean ruleset still has losing streaks; the value of mechanizing is consistent, small losses so a real edge can show over a sample — not the elimination of losers. Backtest and forward-test before risking size. Indicator
volume profil multitimeframe**Volume Profile D/W/M — Auction Map**
Volume Profile D/W/M is a visual auction-analysis indicator designed to display confirmed Daily, Weekly, or Monthly volume profiles on the chart. It focuses on value areas, volume concentration, auction structure, and important reaction zones. The script is intended for discretionary market analysis and does not generate automatic buy or sell signals.
---
## Overview
This indicator builds a volume profile from a selected confirmed period:
* Daily
* Weekly
* Monthly
Only one mode is active at a time. The goal is to keep the chart readable while still showing the most important auction levels.
The profile highlights where volume was concentrated during the selected period and displays key levels such as POC, VAH, VAL, HVN, LVN, VWAP, Initial Balance, naked POC levels, imbalance zones, confluence zones, and auction-state information.
---
## Main Features
### Confirmed Volume Profile
The script draws confirmed profiles from closed periods. This makes historical profiles stable and prevents them from constantly changing after the period has closed.
Available profile modes:
* Daily profile
* Weekly profile
* Monthly profile
The current developing profile can also be displayed with the dedicated option, but it should be understood as a live preview and not as a confirmed profile.
---
### POC, VAH and VAL
The script displays the main volume profile levels:
* POC: the price row with the highest volume
* VAH: upper boundary of the value area
* VAL: lower boundary of the value area
These levels are used to read market acceptance, rejection, rotation, and possible return-to-value behavior.
---
### HVN and LVN
The script can highlight:
* HVN: high-volume nodes, where the market accepted price
* LVN: low-volume nodes, where price often moved quickly or found less acceptance
HVN levels may act as areas of balance or reaction. LVN levels may act as rejection zones or acceleration zones depending on context.
---
### Bull / Bear Split and Delta Imbalance Rows
Each profile row can be split into bullish and bearish volume estimates. This helps visualize whether a price area was dominated by bullish or bearish pressure.
The indicator also includes imbalance rows, which highlight areas where one side strongly dominated the row volume.
To avoid label clutter, imbalance labels can be displayed as:
* a single multiplier label
* one label per row
* no label
The multiplier mode is recommended for normal use.
---
### Confluence Zones
The confluence module looks for clusters where several important levels are close to each other.
Examples of levels used in confluence:
* POC
* VAH / VAL
* HVN / LVN
* Period open / close
* Naked POC
* Profile high / low
* Poor high / poor low
* Composite levels
A confluence zone does not predict direction by itself. It simply marks an area where several auction references are grouped together.
---
### Naked POC Tracking
The script can track previous POC levels that have not yet been revisited. These levels are often watched as potential return-to-value or magnet zones.
Naked POC levels include status logic such as:
* Fresh
* Tested
* Respected
* Broken
* Dead
The extension distance can be adjusted so naked POC levels do not appear too far away from the rest of the profile.
---
### VWAP and Initial Balance
The indicator includes optional period VWAP and VWAP bands.
It can also display Initial Balance levels:
* IB High
* IB Low
* IB Mid
* 1x / 2x IB extensions
These tools are useful for reading whether price is rotating inside value, expanding away from balance, or failing an attempted breakout.
---
### Auction Dashboard
The dashboard summarizes useful auction information such as:
* selected mode
* current price location
* auction state
* value relation
* POC migration
* profile shape
* nearest target
* risk zone
* dominant session
* confluence score
* POC, VAH, VAL, VWAP and IB information
The dashboard is only a reading aid. It should not be used as a standalone trading system.
---
## Beginner Tutorial
### Step 1 — Choose the Profile Mode
Start with Daily mode.
Daily mode is usually the easiest to understand because each profile represents one completed trading day.
Once you are comfortable, you can test Weekly and Monthly modes to read the larger market structure.
---
### Step 2 — Read the Main Levels
Start with three levels:
* POC
* VAH
* VAL
A simple way to read them:
* Price above VAH: market is trading above accepted value
* Price below VAL: market is trading below accepted value
* Price around POC: market is rotating near the main accepted price
* Price between VAH and VAL: market is inside value
---
### Step 3 — Look for Reaction Areas
After the basic value area is understood, check:
* HVN zones
* LVN zones
* naked POC levels
* confluence zones
* VWAP
* Initial Balance
Do not use every line as a trade signal. The goal is to identify areas where price may react, pause, reject, or accelerate.
---
### Step 4 — Use the Dashboard
The dashboard helps summarize the profile state.
For example:
* If price is above VAH and POC migration is rising, the market may be accepting higher prices.
* If price rejects above VAH and returns inside value, it may indicate a failed auction.
* If price is near a confluence zone, the area may deserve more attention.
---
## Example Use Cases
### Example 1 — Return to Value
Price trades above VAH, fails to hold, and returns inside the value area.
A trader may watch for a rotation back toward POC.
This is not a direct entry signal. Confirmation should come from price action, market structure, or another method.
---
### Example 2 — POC Magnet
Price moves away from the previous POC but later returns toward it.
A naked POC or composite POC may act as a reference level where traders expect a reaction or pause.
---
### Example 3 — LVN Acceleration
Price approaches an LVN zone.
Because LVN zones represent low acceptance, price may either reject quickly or move through the area with speed.
The direction depends on context, not on the LVN alone.
---
### Example 4 — Weekly Context, Daily Execution
A trader can use Weekly mode to identify larger auction levels, then switch back to a lower chart timeframe to observe how price reacts near those levels.
This helps separate macro context from execution timing.
---
## Recommended Timeframes
The script is not designed for very low timeframes with heavy settings.
Recommended chart timeframes:
* 5 minutes and above for Daily mode
* 15 minutes and above for Weekly mode
* 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 1 hour for Monthly mode
Using the script on a 1-minute chart is not recommended, especially with Weekly or Monthly mode, developing profile enabled, high profile rows, many historical profiles, or multiple visual modules active.
Very low timeframes may require too many historical bars or too many drawing objects, which can cause PulseWire limits to be reached.
---
## Performance Recommendations
For stable use, start with these settings:
* Profiles History: 3
* Profile Rows: 48
* Current Developing Profile: Off
* Imbalance Labels: Multiplier
* Composite Display: Near Profile
* Naked POC extension: short distance
If the chart becomes heavy, reduce:
* profile rows
* history count
* developing profile
* imbalance zones
* VWAP bands
* Initial Balance extensions
* confluence labels
---
## Important Notes
This indicator is an analytical tool, not a trading system.
It does not predict the market and does not provide guaranteed results. All levels should be interpreted with market context, price action, risk management, and the trader’s own strategy.
Volume profile analysis is most useful when combined with structure, trend, volatility, session behavior, and confirmation from price action.
Use the script to build a map of important auction areas, not as a standalone reason to enter or exit a trade.

SR LevelsSR Levels — Multi-Timeframe Support & Resistance with SR-Anchored VWAP
OVERVIEW
SR Levels Pro is an overlay indicator that plots higher-timeframe support and resistance levels on your chart with a clean, minimal layout. It focuses on widely used structural levels — previous day/week/month/year highs and lows — plus optional session levels (Asia, London, New York).
The goal is simple: show where price is relative to key reference levels, how far away each level is, and whether volume-weighted price action is accepting or rejecting a level after a touch.
This script is designed for traders who use HTF structure, session context, and level-based decision making on lower timeframes.
KEY FEATURES
• HTF Structure Levels
Previous Day/Week/Month/Year High and Low (PDH, PDL, PWH, PWL, PMH, PML, PYH, PYL)
Each timeframe uses a distinct color for quick identification
• Smart Level Display
Thin cross markers on a short right-side segment — not full-width lines
Optional proximity filter: hide levels until price is within range
Price labels show level name, exact price, and % distance from current price
Example: PDH 77766.4 +1.42%
• Session Levels (Optional, Off by Default)
Previous session high, low, and open for Asia, London, and New York
Customizable session times and timezone
• SR-Anchored VWAP
When price touches an active S/R level, VWAP begins tracking from that anchor
Green VWAP above anchor = potential acceptance
Red VWAP below anchor = potential rejection
Shaded fill between VWAP and anchor shows the acceptance/rejection gap
Auto-deactivates after max bars or when price moves too far from the level
• Optional Signals (Off by Default)
Triangles = bullish/bearish rejection at scored S/R levels
Diamonds = PDH/PDL volume breakouts
Confluence scoring, EMA trend filter, volume filter, and cooldown
Built-in alerts for rejections and breakouts
HOW TO USE
1. Add to any chart (stocks, crypto, forex, futures).
2. Defaults show PDH, PDL, PWH, PWL. Session levels and signals are off.
3. Read right-edge labels for price and % distance from each level.
4. Watch SR-Anchored VWAP when price approaches a level for acceptance vs rejection.
5. Enable signals only if you want entry markers. Adjust score and cooldown for your timeframe.
6. For forex/futures, set Session Timezone and session hours to match your market.
SETTINGS
Core: touch tolerance, visibility range, cross segment length, price labels
HTF: toggle day/week/month/year levels and colors
Session: Asia/London/NY H/L/O with custom times
VWAP: max bars, deactivate distance, bull/bear colors
Signals: master toggle, breakout diamonds, min score, cooldown, filters
ALERTS
• SR: Long Rejection
• SR: Short Rejection
• SR: Bull Breakout (above PDH)
• SR: Bear Breakout (below PDL)
RECOMMENDED TIMEFRAMES
Intraday (1m–15m): PDH/PDL + PWH/PWL, optional sessions
Swing (1H–4H): PWH/PWL + PMH/PML
Position (D/W): PMH/PML + PYH/PYL
DISCLAIMER
This indicator is for educational and informational purposes only. It is not financial advice and does not recommend buying or selling any instrument. Trading involves risk. Past results do not guarantee future performance. Always do your own research and use proper risk management.
NOTES
HTF levels use the prior completed period high/low. Signals are optional and disabled by default. SR-Anchored VWAP accumulates on confirmed bars only. Indicator
VWAP Auto Anchored TrendVWAP Auto Anchored Trend
This indicator is a Pine Script v6 recreation of an auto-anchored VWAP tool with an added trend and flatness readout. It is designed to help you study how volume-weighted price develops from a selected anchor and how stable or directional that VWAP remains over time.
What It Does
At its core, this script calculates a Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) . Unlike a simple moving average, VWAP gives more influence to bars with higher volume. That allows it to reflect where trading activity has been concentrated during the active anchor period.
The line begins at the selected anchor and updates forward from there, giving you a focused view of how price and volume have behaved from that point.
Anchor Periods
The script supports multiple anchor types, including:
Auto
Highest High
Lowest Low
Highest Volume
Session
Week
Month
Quarter
Year
Decade
Century
Earnings
Dividends
Splits
For time-based anchors such as Month , Quarter , or Year , the indicator displays only the currently active anchor period. That keeps the chart focused on the most recent cycle rather than extending the VWAP through the entire chart history.
Source and Calculation
The VWAP can be calculated from a selectable source, such as hlc3 , which is commonly used as a balanced price basis. The script accumulates price multiplied by volume, then divides that running total by cumulative volume over the active anchor period.
This makes the line responsive not only to price movement, but to how much trading participation occurred at those prices.
Bands and Visual Structure
The script includes optional upper and lower VWAP bands. These bands can be calculated using:
Standard Deviation
Percentage
Up to three band levels can be enabled, each with its own multiplier. When active, they can help frame how tightly or loosely price is trading around the anchored VWAP.
A background fill can also be used between the outer visible bands to make the VWAP zone easier to read visually.
Offset Support
An offset setting is included so the VWAP and its bands can be shifted visually on the chart. This affects display placement only and does not change the underlying VWAP calculation.
VWAP Flatness and Trend Readout
One of the main additions in this version is the VWAP Flatness section.
Instead of only judging the VWAP slope by eye, the script measures how much the VWAP has drifted from its anchor to the current bar. It then normalizes that drift using ATR to produce a more comparable trend/flatness reading.
The table compares two views:
All Period - the entire active anchor period
Last 50% - the most recent half of that same period
This can help show whether the VWAP has remained balanced over the full anchor period, or whether the more recent portion has started to trend more clearly.
Table Readout Includes
VWAP State - VERY FLAT, FLAT, MODERATE, TRENDING, or STRONG TREND
ATR Score - VWAP drift measured against ATR
Drift % - total percentage drift in VWAP over the measured section
Per Bar % - average drift per bar over that section
This is intended as a structured way to describe VWAP behavior. It does not predict future price movement, but it can help organize how stable or directional the VWAP has been within the chosen anchor window.
How It May Be Used
This indicator can be used as a reference for:
Tracking where volume-weighted price has developed from an anchor
Comparing current price to anchored average value
Observing whether price is staying near VWAP or expanding away from it
Viewing optional VWAP band structure
Comparing overall VWAP behavior with the most recent half of the anchor period
Notes
This script is intended as a charting and analysis tool.
The flatness and trend labels describe measured VWAP behavior, not guarantees.
Different symbols, timeframes, and anchor periods can produce very different readings.
Summary
This script combines anchored VWAP logic, optional bands, and a two-part flatness/trend readout into one tool. Its goal is to help you study where weighted price has developed, how price is behaving around that value, and whether the VWAP itself has remained relatively flat or become more directional over the active anchor period.

Daily + Anchored VWAP**Daily VWAP + Anchored VWAP (RTH / Full Session Toggle)**
This script provides a clean and reliable implementation of Daily VWAP along with an Anchored VWAP, designed to behave consistently across different session types and chart settings.
The Daily VWAP automatically resets each day based on the selected mode. In RTH mode, it resets on the first regular-session bar and only includes regular trading hours. In Full Session mode, it resets on the first bar of the day and includes all available price data. The calculation uses a proper cumulative price × volume divided by volume approach, ensuring accuracy with no gaps or delayed starts on the opening candle.
The script includes a historical display control that allows switching between showing only the current trading day or displaying a configurable number of previous trading days. The “today only” mode is handled using chart-based date detection, which avoids the common issues seen in other VWAP scripts where the first bars of the session are incorrectly excluded.
An Anchored VWAP is also included, which starts from the first session bar of a user-defined number of trading days back and accumulates forward to the present. This anchored VWAP operates independently from the daily VWAP visibility settings and remains stable regardless of whether historical display is enabled or not.
A session toggle allows switching between RTH-only behavior and full-session behavior. This setting applies consistently to both the Daily VWAP and Anchored VWAP, making it easy to compare how price interacts with VWAP under different session definitions.
This script is designed to avoid common VWAP issues such as incorrect start points, broken “today only” filtering, and inconsistent handling of extended hours. The logic separates reset conditions, accumulation, and display filtering to ensure stable and predictable output.
This tool is useful for intraday trading, tracking institutional positioning, anchoring VWAP to recent sessions, and analyzing price behavior across different session types.
Anchored VWAP requires sufficient historical data on the chart to include the selected anchor start point. Behavior may vary slightly depending on the symbol’s session definition and chart settings.
Built for precision and reliability, with a focus on correct behavior in real trading conditions.

Piv X**Title:** Piv X: Confluence-Based Market Structure & Volume Analyzer
**Introduction**
Piv X is a comprehensive market structure analysis tool designed to grade the quality of Pivot Points using a composite "Confluence Score." Unlike standard indicators that simply identify local highs and lows based on price alone, this script evaluates the *strength* of every pivot by cross-referencing it against volume data, momentum divergences, multi-timeframe structure, and institutional key levels.
**Concept & Methodology**
The core functionality of this script builds upon a **Dynamic Pivot Quality Scoring System**. When a pivot point is detected (using an ATR-based dynamic lookback), the script runs a background analysis on 10+ technical factors to assign a "Confluence Score" (0-100).
The score is calculated based on the accumulation of the following factors:
1. **Volume Anomalies**: Detects volume spikes at the pivot, suggesting institutional participation.
2. **Momentum Divergence**: Checks for RSI and Williams %R divergences relative to price action to identify exhaustion.
3. **Liquidity Mechanics**: Identifies "Swing Failure Patterns" (SFP) and "Sweeps" where price pierces a previous structure but closes back inside.
4. **Multi-Timeframe Alignment**: Verifies if the pivot aligns with Higher Timeframe (HTF) trends and structures to filter out counter-trend noise.
5. **Key Level Interaction**: Rewards pivots that form near Daily/Weekly Highs or Lows.
6. **Fair Value Gap (FVG) Fills**: Detects if the pivot is reacting to a market imbalance fill.
**Unique Feature: Williams %R Divergence Anchored VWAP**
This tool introduces a logic-driven Anchored VWAP. Instead of arbitrarily anchoring VWAPs to high/low dates, the script automatically anchors a VWAP from the exact candle where a Williams %R Momentum Divergence is confirmed. This allows traders to visualize the "true cost basis" of participants who entered specifically on the momentum reversal signal.
**How to Use**
1. **Golden Zones (High Confluence)**: Pivots that achieve a high Confluence Score (e.g., >80) are highlighted with a distinct "Golden" border and background. These represent high-probability Support/Resistance levels backed by multiple forms of technical evidence.
2. **Standard Zones (Normal Confluence)**: Pivots with moderate scores are shown in standard Green/Purple. These are valid structure points but may require additional confirmation before trading.
3. **Trend Filtering**: The "Trend System" overlay (using EMA Clouds and RSI filters) provides visual context for the dominant trend direction, helping traders avoid taking structure signals against the main flow.
4. **Market Structure Shifts (MSS)**: The script automatically plots CHoCH (Change of Character) lines to alert traders when the sequence of Higher Highs or Lower Lows has been broken, often signaling a trend reversal.
**Settings**
* **Pivot Detection**: Adjust the ATR Multiplier to control the sensitivity of pivot detection.
* **Filters**: Toggle specific scoring factors (like Session Logic or HTF Confluence) to customize how strict the Scoring System is.
* **Visuals**: Enable/Disable specific VWAP periods (Weekly, Monthly, Yearly) to keep the chart clean.

Dynamic Swing Anchored VWAP (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Dynamic Swing Anchored VWAP (Zeiierman) is a price–volume tool that anchors VWAP at fresh swing highs/lows and then adapts its responsiveness as conditions change. Instead of one static VWAP that drifts away over time, this indicator re-anchors at meaningful structure points (swings). It computes a decayed, volume-weighted average that can speed up in volatile markets and slow down during quiet periods.
Blending swing structure with an adaptive VWAP engine creates a fair-value path that stays aligned with current price behavior, making retests, pullbacks, and mean reversion opportunities easier to spot and trade.
█ How It Works
⚪ Swing Anchor Engine
The script scans for swing highs/lows using your Swing Period.
When market direction flips (new pivot confirmed), the indicator anchors a new VWAP at that pivot and starts tracking from there.
⚪ Adaptive VWAP Core
From each anchor , VWAP is computed using a decay model (recent price×volume matters more; older data matters less).
Adaptive Price Tracking lets you set the base responsiveness in “bars.” Lower = more reactive, higher = smoother.
Volatility Adjustment (ATR vs Avg ATR) can automatically speed up the VWAP during spikes and slow it during compression, so the line stays relevant to live conditions.
█ Why This Adaptive Approach Beats a Simple VWAP
Standard VWAP is cumulative from the anchor point. As time passes and volume accumulates, it often drifts far from current price, especially in prolonged trends or multi-session moves. That drift makes retests rare and unreliable.
Dynamic Swing Anchored VWAP solves this in two ways:
⚪ Event-Driven Anchoring (Swings):
By restarting at fresh swing highs/lows, the VWAP reference reflects today’s structure. You get frequent, meaningful retests because the anchor stays near the action.
⚪ Adaptive Responsiveness (Volatility-Aware):
Markets don’t move at one speed. When volatility expands, a fixed VWAP lags; when volatility contracts, it can overreact to noise. Here, the “tracking speed” can auto-adjust using ATR vs its average.
High Volatility → faster tracking: VWAP hugs price more tightly, preserving retest relevance.
Low Volatility → smoother tracking: VWAP filters chop and stays stable.
Result: A VWAP that follows price more accurately, creating plenty of credible retest opportunities and more trustworthy mean-reversion/continuation reads than a simple, ever-growing VWAP.
█ How to Use
⚪ S wing-Aware Fair Value
Use the VWAP as a dynamic fair-value guide that restarts at key structural pivots. Pullbacks to the VWAP after impulsive moves often provide retest entries.
⚪ Trend Trading
In trends, the adaptive VWAP will ride closer to price, offering continuation pullbacks.
█ Settings
Swing Period: Number of bars to confirm swing highs/lows. Larger = bigger, cleaner pivots (slower); smaller = more frequent pivots (noisier).
Adaptive Price Tracking: Sets the base reaction speed (in bars). Lower = faster, tighter to price; higher = smoother, slower.
Adapt APT by ATR ratio: When ON, the tracking speed auto-adjusts with market volatility (ATR vs its own average). High vol → faster; low vol → calmer.
Volatility Bias: Controls how strongly volatility affects the speed. >1 = stronger effect; <1 = lighter touch.

ZenAlgo - LevelsThis script combines multiple anchored Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) calculations into a single tool, providing a continuous record of past VWAP levels and highlighting when price has tested them. Typically, VWAP indicators show only the current VWAP for a single anchor period, requiring you to either keep re-anchoring manually or juggle multiple instances of different VWAP tools for each timeframe. By contrast, this script automatically tracks both the ongoing VWAP and previously completed VWAP values, along with real-time detection of “tests” (when price crosses a particular VWAP level). It’s especially valuable for traders who want to see how price has interacted with VWAP over several sessions, weeks, or months—without switching between separate indicators or manually setting anchors.
Below is a comprehensive explanation of each component, why multiple VWAP lines working together can be more informative than a single line, and how to adjust the script for various markets and trading styles:
Primary VWAP vs. Historical VWAP Lines - Standard VWAP indicators typically focus on the current line only. This script also calculates a primary VWAP, but it “locks in” each completed VWAP value when a new time anchor is detected (e.g., new weekly bar, new monthly bar, new session). As a result, you retain an ongoing history of VWAP lines for every completed anchored period. This is more powerful than manually setting up multiple VWAP tools—one for each desired timeframe—because everything is handled in a single script. You avoid chart clutter and the risk of forgetting to reset your manual VWAP at the correct bar.
Why Combine Multiple Anchored VWAP Lines in One Script? - Viewing several anchored VWAP lines together offers synergy . You see not only the current VWAP but also previous ones from different sessions or months, all within the same chart pane. This synergy becomes apparent if multiple historical VWAP lines cluster near the same price level, indicating a potentially significant zone of volume-based support or resistance. Handling this manually would involve repeatedly setting separate VWAP indicators, each reset at specific points, which is time-consuming and prone to error. In this script, the process is automated: as soon as the anchor changes, a completed VWAP line is stored so you can observe how price eventually reacts to it, repeatedly or not at all.
Automated “Test” Detection - Once a historical VWAP line is set, the script tracks when price crosses it in subsequent bars. If the high and low of a bar span that line, the script marks it in red (both the line and its label). It also keeps a counter of how many times each line has been tested. This method goes beyond a simple visual approach by quantifying the retests. Because all these lines are created and managed in one place, you don’t have to manually label the lines or check them one by one.
Advantages Over Manually Setting Multiple VWAPs
You save screen space: Instead of layering several VWAP indicators, each with unique settings, this single script plots them all on one overlay.
Automation: When a new anchor period begins, the script “closes out” the old VWAP and starts a new one. You never need to remember to reset it manually.
Retest Visualization: The script not only draws each line but also changes color and updates the label automatically if a line gets tested. Doing this by hand would be labor-intensive.
Unified Parameters: All settings (e.g., array size, max distance, test count limit) apply uniformly. You can manage them from one place, instead of configuring multiple separate tools.
Extended Insight with Multiple VWAP Lines
Since VWAP reflects the volume-weighted average price for each chosen period, historical lines can show zones where the market had a fair-value consensus in previous intervals. When the script preserves these lines, you see potential support/resistance areas more distinctly. If, for instance, price continually pivots around an old VWAP line, that may reveal a strong volume-based level. With several older VWAP lines on the chart, you gain an immediate sense of where these volume-derived averages have appeared and how price reacted over time. This wider perspective often proves more revealing than a single “current” VWAP line that does not reflect previous anchor sessions.
Handling of Illiquid Markets and Volume Limitations
VWAP is inherently tied to volume data, so its reliability decreases if volume reporting is missing or if the asset trades with very low liquidity. In such cases, a single large trade might momentarily skew the VWAP, resulting in “false” test signals when the high/low range intersects an abnormal price swing. If you suspect the data is incomplete or the market is unusually thin, it’s wise to confirm the validity of these VWAP lines before using them for any decision-making. Additionally, unusual market conditions—like after-hours trading or sudden high-volatility events—may cause VWAP to shift quickly, setting up multiple lines in a short time.
Key User-Configurable Settings
Hide VWAP on Day timeframe and above : Lets you disable the primary VWAP plot on daily or higher timeframes for a cleaner view.
Anchor Period : Select from Session, Week, Month, Quarter, Year, Decade or Century. Controls how frequently the script resets and preserves the VWAP line.
Offset : Moves the current VWAP line by a specified number of bars if you need a shifted perspective.
Max Array Size : Caps how many past VWAP lines the script will remember. Prevents clutter if you’re charting very long histories.
Max Distance : Defines how far back (in bar index units) a line is kept. If a line’s start bar is older than this threshold, it’s removed, keeping the chart uncluttered.
Max Red Labels : Limits the number of tested (red) VWAP lines that appear. If price tests a large number of old lines, only the newest red labels remain once you hit the set limit.
Workflow Overview
As soon as a new anchor period begins (e.g., a new weekly candle if “Week” is chosen), the script ends the current VWAP and stores that final value in its internal arrays.
It creates a dotted line and label representing the completed VWAP, and keeps track of whether it has been tested or not.
Subsequent bars may then cross that line. If a bar’s high/low includes the line’s value, it’s flagged as tested, labeled red, and a test counter increases.
As new anchored periods come, old lines remain visible—unless they fall outside your maxDistance or you exceed the maximum stored line count.
Real-World Benefits
Combining multiple VWAP lines—ranging, for example, from session-based lines for intraday perspectives to monthly or quarterly lines for broader context—provides a layered view of the volume-based fair price. This can help you quickly spot zones where price repeatedly intersects old VWAPs, potentially highlighting where bulls or bears took action historically. Because this script automates the management of all these lines and flags their retests, it removes a great deal of repetitive manual work that would typically accompany multiple, separate VWAP indicators set to different anchors.
Limitations & Practical Use
As with any volume-related tool, the script depends on reliable volume data. Assets trading on smaller venues or during illiquid periods may produce spurious signals. The script does not signal buy or sell decisions; rather, it helps visually map out where volume-weighted averages from previous periods might still be relevant to market behavior. Always combine the insight from these historical VWAP lines with your existing analytical approach or other technical and fundamental tools you use.
Conclusion
This script unifies past and present VWAP lines into one overlay, automatically detecting new anchor resets, storing the final VWAP values, and indicating whenever old lines are retested by price. It offers synergy through the simultaneous display of multiple historical VWAP lines, making it quicker and easier to detect potential support/resistance zones and better reflect changing market volumes over time. You no longer need to manually create, configure, or reset multiple VWAP indicators. Instead, the script handles all aspects of line creation, retest detection, and clutter management, giving you a robust framework to observe how historical VWAP data aligns with current price action.
By understanding the significance of multiple anchored VWAP lines, you can assess market structure from multiple angles in a single view. As always, ensure you confirm the reliability of the volume data for your particular asset and use these lines in conjunction with other analyses to form a well-rounded perspective on current market behavior.

VWAP Fibonacci Bands (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The VWAP Fibonacci Bands is a sophisticated yet user-friendly indicator designed to assist traders in visualizing market trends, volatility, and potential support/resistance levels. Developed by Zeiierman, this tool integrates the MIDAS (Market Interpretation Data Analysis System) methodology with Standard Deviation Bands and user-defined Fibonacci levels to provide a comprehensive market analysis framework.
This indicator is built for traders who want a dynamic and customizable approach to understanding market movements, offering features that adapt to varying market conditions. Whether you're a scalper, swing trader, or long-term investor.
█ How It Works
⚪ Anchor Point System
The indicator begins its calculations based on an anchor point, which can be set to:
A specific date for historical analysis or alignment with significant market events.
A timeframe-based reset, dynamically restarting calculations at the beginning of each selected period (e.g., daily, weekly, or monthly).
This dual-anchor method ensures flexibility, allowing the indicator to align with various trading strategies.
⚪ MIDAS Calculation
The MIDAS calculation is central to this indicator. It uses cumulative price and volume data to compute a volume-weighted average price (VWAP), offering a trendline that reflects the true value weighted by trading activity.
⚪ Standard Deviation Bands
The upper and lower bands are calculated using the standard deviation of price movements around the MIDAS line.
⚪ Fibonacci Levels
User-defined Fibonacci ratios are used to plot additional support and resistance levels between the bands. These levels provide visual cues for potential price reversals or trend continuations.
█ How to Use
⚪ Trend Identification
Uptrend: The price remains above the MIDAS line.
Downtrend: The price stays below the MIDAS line and aligns with the lower bands.
⚪ Support and Resistance
The upper and lower bands act as support and resistance levels.
Fibonacci levels provide intermediate zones for potential price reversals.
⚪ Volatility Analysis
Wider bands indicate periods of high volatility.
Narrower bands suggest low-volatility conditions, often preceding breakouts.
⚪ Overbought/Oversold Conditions
Look for the price beyond the upper or lower bands to identify extreme conditions.
█ Settings
Set Anchor Method
Anchor Method: Choose between Timeframe or Date to define the starting point of calculations.
Anchor Timeframe: For Timeframe mode, specify the interval (e.g., Daily, Weekly).
Anchor Date: For Date mode, set the exact starting date for historical alignment.
Set Std Dev Multiplier
Controls the width of the bands:
Higher values widen the bands, filtering out minor fluctuations.
Lower values tighten the bands for more responsive analysis.
Set Fibonacci Levels
Define custom Fibonacci ratios (e.g., 0.236, 0.382) to plot intermediate levels between the bands.
█ Tips for Fine-Tuning
⚪ For Trend Trading:
Use higher Std Dev Multipliers to focus on long-term trends and avoid noise. Adjust Anchor Timeframe to Weekly or Monthly for broader trend analysis.
⚪ For Reversal Trading:
Tighten the bands with a lower Std Dev Multiplier.
Use shorter anchor timeframes for intraday reversals (e.g., Hourly).
⚪ For Volatile Markets:
Increase the Std Dev Multiplier to accommodate wider price swings.
⚪ For Quiet Markets:
Decrease the Std Dev Multiplier to highlight smaller fluctuations.

VWAP with CharacterizationThis indicator is a visual representation of the VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price), it calculates the weighted average price based on trading volume. Essentially, it provides a measure of the average price at which an asset has traded during a given period, but with a particular focus on trading volume. In our case, the indicator calculates the VWAP for the current trading symbol, using a predefined simple moving average (SMA) with a period of 14. This volume-weighted moving average offers a clearer view of the behavior of the VWAP and, of consequence of market dynamics.
One of the distinctive features of this indicator is its ability to provide a more "linear" representation of the data. This means that the data is "smoothed" to remove noise, allowing you to more easily identify the direction of the market trend. This smoother representation is especially useful because the financial market can be subject to significant fluctuations and volatility, and this indicator can help get a more stable view of the trend.
The indicator also offers a visualization of the market trend in a very intuitive way. Using an evaluation of the highs and lows of the last 10 days, determine whether the market is in an uptrend, downtrend, or no trend at all. To make this evaluation even clearer and more immediate, the indicator line is colored dynamically. When the trend is bullish, the line is blue, while in case of a bearish trend, it takes on a distinctive color, such as pink. If the trend is not defined, the line will be colored differently, for example light yellow. This coloration gives traders an immediate visual indication of the prevailing trend, allowing them to make more informed decisions regarding trading operations.
One potential strategy involves watching candles when they cross the VWAP line strongly. If, for example, a candlestick breaks above the VWAP line, we may look for retest areas near key support levels to gauge a potential long entry. In other words, we would consider that the price may have the potential to rise further after breaking above the VWAP line, and we would look to enter a long position to take advantage of this opportunity.
On the other hand, if a candlestick crosses below the VWAP line, we might consider looking for retest areas near the VWAP line itself, which now serves as potential resistance. This could indicate a possible short entry opportunity, as the price may struggle to break above the resistance represented by the VWAP line after breaking it down. In this case, we would look to take advantage of the expected continuation of the downtrend.
In both cases, the idea is to exploit significant movements across the VWAP line as signals of potential reversal or continuation of the trend. This strategy can help identify key entry points based on price behavior relative to the VWAP line.

RD Key Levels (Weekly, Daily, Previous vWAP)The RexDog Key Levels indicator plots the weekly open, daily open, and the previous day vWAP close.
These are all critical price levels (zones) to know when trading any market or instrument. These areas are also high probability reaction areas that you can trade using simple confirmation trading patterns.
First, I'll cover an overview of the indicator then I'll share general usage tips.
Weekly Open - default is white/orange. White is when price is above the weekly open. Orange is when price is below the weekly open.
Weekly High/Low - there are options to turn on the weekly high and lows. Default plot is circles. Green is the high. Red is the low.
Daily Open - default is green/red. Green is when price is above the daily open. Red is when price is below the daily open.
Previous vWAPs - aqua single lines. These are the closing price of the daily vWAPs.
Top Indicators - The triangles at the top of the chart signify is price is currently above or below the weekly open. This is helpful on lower timeframe charts (5m, 15m) to get a quick indication when price is far extended beyond the weekly open. Green triangle = above weekly open. Red triangle = below weekly open.
General Usage
Each one of these levels are important levels markets look use for continuation or failure of momentum and bias. I also find it extremely helpful to think of these levels as magnets, dual magnets. They both attract and repel price at the same time. Now you might say, how is that helpful to have opposing views at the same time? Be indifferent to direction, create your own rules on when these price zones repel or attract price, I have my own.
Here's the easiest way to use these price levels.
As price approaches one of these levels to expect a reaction. A reaction is price is going in one direction and price hits a price level zone and reacts in the opposite direction.
These are price zones, sometimes you will see a reaction right at the price but visualize these areas as zones of reaction.
A high percentage of the time when price approaches these level zones there will be a reaction. So trade the reaction .
How do you do that?
Simple. Trade patterns that repeat. I have 3 solid patterns I trade around these key levels:
The first pattern is early entry with precise scale in rules and a very effective protective stop loss placement.
The second pattern is wait for confirmation that the level holds. This requires more patience and for you to fully trust the chart. The benefit of this pattern is with confirmation you have even more precise stop placement.
There is a bonus third pattern I trade around these levels. I call this the confirmation and bluff entry. It's a combination of both of the patterns above. You wait for confirmation but on any pull back you call the bluff on the market and enter on key test. Trade management here is critical. In addition to the pattern you trade you should have a series of failure patterns that tell you to get out of the trade, I use 2 primary failure patterns.
I trade all markets, same system, same rules, so I'll show a few examples.
Usually I start with Bitcoin but let's start with equities:
BA - Boeing - 8 Trades
Here we see weekly low patterns, previous week low test, vwAP hold patterns, day magnets and day holding. Then 2 week failures and a double hold pattern.
These are all straightforward trades to execute following really simple patterns.
BTCUSD Previous vWAP and Day Open Trades
We see here on the circle areas both daily open and previous day vWAP zone tests. Within this chart are all 3 highly effective patterns I trade.
SPY - 7 High Probability Trades
Here we see a pDay vWAP mixed with a daily failure. Next a daily retest, then a pDay vWAP failure, then a vWAP capture and test. Then a double weekly failure test (great trade there) and finally a daily test.
I could provide more examples but most are just derivatives of the above examples.
