Tactical Deviation

🎯 TACTICAL DEVIATION - Volume-Backed VWAP Deviation Analysis

What Makes This Different?

Unlike basic VWAP indicators, Tactical Deviation combines:
• Multi-timeframe VWAP deviation bands (Daily/Weekly/Monthly)
• Volume spike intelligence - signals only appear with volume confirmation
• Pivot reversal detection at deviation extremes
• Optional multi-VWAP confluence system
• Smart defaults for quality over quantity

This unique combination filters weak setups and identifies high-probability entries at extreme price deviations from fair value.

📊 DEFAULT SETTINGS (Ready to Use)

✅ Daily VWAP with ±2σ deviation bands
✅ Volume spike detection (1.5x average required)
✅ 2σ minimum deviation for signals
❌ Weekly/Monthly VWAPs (enable for multi-timeframe)
❌ Pivot reversal requirement (enable for stronger signals)
❌ Fill zones (optional visual enhancement)

Why: Daily VWAP is most relevant for intraday trading. 2σ bands catch meaningful moves. Volume spikes ensure conviction. Clean chart focuses on what matters.

🚀 HOW TO USE

BASIC USAGE:
• Green triangles (below bars) = Long signals at oversold deviations
• Red triangles (above bars) = Short signals at overbought deviations

SIGNAL QUALITY:
• Normal size, bright colors = Volume spike (best quality)
• Small size, lighter colors = Volume momentum
• Tiny size = No volume confirmation

DEVIATION ZONES:
• ±2σ = Extreme deviation (signals appear here)
• ±1σ to ±2σ = Extended but not extreme
• Within ±1σ = Normal range

TRADING APPROACHES:
Mean Reversion:
→ Enter when price reaches ±2σ with volume spike
→ Target: Return to VWAP or opposite band
→ Stop: Beyond extreme deviation

Trend Continuation:
→ Use bands to identify pullbacks
→ Enter pullback to VWAP in trending market
→ Volume confirms continuation

Reversal Trading:
→ Enable "Require Pivot Reversal" for stronger signals
→ Signals only when deviation + pivot reversal occur
→ Higher probability, fewer signals

⚙️ EXPLORE SETTINGS FOR FULL USE

VWAP SETTINGS:
• Show Weekly/Monthly VWAP = Multi-timeframe context
• Show ±1σ Bands = Normal deviation range
• Show ±3σ Bands = Extreme extremes (rare but powerful)

SIGNAL SETTINGS:
• Min Deviation: 1σ (more signals) | 2σ (default) | 3σ (fewer, extreme only)
• Require Pivot Reversal: OFF (default) | ON (stronger but fewer)
• Volume Spike Threshold: 1.5x (default) | 2.0x+ (major spikes) | 1.2x (more signals)

CONFLUENCE SETTINGS:
• Require Multi-VWAP Confluence: OFF (default) | ON (2+ VWAPs must agree)
• Min VWAPs: 2 (Daily + Weekly/Monthly) | 3 (all must agree)

VISUAL SETTINGS:
• Show Fill Zones = Shaded areas between bands
• Fill Opacity = Transparency adjustment
• Line Widths = Customize thickness

💡 PRO TIPS

1. Start with defaults, then enable features as you learn
2. Volume spike requirement filters weak moves - keep it enabled
3. Enable Weekly/Monthly VWAPs for higher timeframe context
4. Enable confluence for swing trading setups
5. Pivot reversals: ON for reversals, OFF for continuations
6. Check top-right info table for current deviation levels

🎨 VISUAL GUIDE

• Cyan Line = Daily VWAP (fair value)
• Cyan Bands = Daily deviation zones
• Orange Line = Weekly VWAP (if enabled)
• Purple Line = Monthly VWAP (if enabled)
• Green Triangle = Long signal (oversold)
• Red Triangle = Short signal (overbought)

⚠️ IMPORTANT

Educational purposes only. Always use proper risk management. Signals are based on statistical deviation, not guarantees. Volume confirmation improves quality but doesn't guarantee outcomes. Combine with your own analysis.

The unique combination of VWAP deviation analysis, volume profile confirmation, pivot identification, and multi-timeframe confluence in a single clean interface makes Tactical Deviation different from basic VWAP indicators.
