🎯 HOW TO USE
For Trend Trading:
Accepted Long/Short backgrounds indicate confirmed participation—stay with the trend
Strong moves typically travel 1-1.5 ATR from VWAP with delta support
Use VWAP as dynamic support/resistance
Combine with momentum indicators (MACD, RSI) for confluence
Price above VWAP + Accepted Long state = bullish bias
Price below VWAP + Accepted Short state = bearish bias
For Mean Reversion:
Fade Long/Short states signal overextension without participation
Price beyond 1.5 ATR from VWAP with weak delta = potential reversal
Look for price return to VWAP when extended
Bollinger Band extremes + Fade state = high-probability mean reversion setup
VWAP acts as mean reversion anchor during range-bound sessions
For Risk Management:
Chop state = avoid new entries
Bollinger Band compression + Chop = pre-expansion zone (wait for breakout)
Delta compression after strong move = early exhaustion warning
State transitions (Accepted → Neutral → Fade) = tighten stops
Signal Confirmation:
Strongest setups occur when multiple factors align:
BB breakout + Accepted state + price above/below VWAP
Price rejection at BB bands + Fade state
VWAP support/resistance hold + state transition
Delta expansion + distance increasing + trend direction

EMA with VWAPThis indicator combines two popular technical analysis tools: the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP), into a single, powerful overlay on your chart. It allows you to analyze both trend direction using the EMA and institutional interest and fair value using the VWAP, all while saving valuable indicator slots on your TradingView layout.
Key Features:
- Exponential Moving Average (EMA):
- Calculates the EMA based on a user-defined Length and Source (e.g., close, open, hl2).
- Includes an optional Offset to shift the EMA line forward or backward on the chart.
- Offers a Smoothing Line feature, allowing you to further smooth the EMA using various moving average types (SMA, EMA, SMMA (RMA), WMA, VWMA) with a customizable Smoothing Length.
- EMA and Smoothing Line can be toggled on or off.
- EMA and Smoothing Line have independent offset capabilities.
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP):
-Calculates the VWAP, a crucial indicator that reflects the average price weighted by volume.
- Offers a wide range of Anchor Periods for resetting the VWAP calculation, including: Session, Week, Month, Quarter, Year, Decade, Century, Earnings, Dividends, and Splits.
- Includes an optional Offset to shift the VWAP line.
- Option to Hide VWAP on 1D or Above timeframes to focus on intraday analysis.
- Provides up to three customizable Standard Deviation Bands above and below the VWAP, visually representing volatility and potential support/resistance levels.
- Bands can be calculated using either "Standard Deviation" or "Percentage" methods.
- Bands can be turned on or off independently.
How to Use:
- EMA: Use the EMA to identify the overall trend direction. An upward-sloping EMA suggests an uptrend, while a downward-sloping EMA suggests a downtrend. The Smoothing Line can help confirm the EMA's trend.
- VWAP: The VWAP acts as a benchmark for the "fair" price of an asset during the selected anchor period. Prices above the VWAP may indicate bullish sentiment, while prices below may indicate bearish sentiment.
- Bands: The Standard Deviation Bands can help identify potential overbought and oversold conditions. Price reaching the upper bands might suggest overbought levels, while price reaching the lower bands might suggest oversold levels.
Customization:
- The indicator offers extensive customization through its settings:
- EMA Settings: Adjust the EMA length, source, offset, smoothing method, and smoothing length.
- VWAP Settings: Choose the VWAP anchor period, source, offset, and whether to hide it on daily or higher timeframes.
- VWAP Bands Settings: Control the visibility, multiplier, and calculation method for each of the three standard deviation bands.
Benefits:
- Consolidated Analysis: Combines two essential indicators into one, providing a comprehensive view of price action and volume.
- Saves Indicator Slots: Frees up valuable indicator slots on your TradingView chart.
- Highly Customizable: Offers a wide range of settings to tailor the indicator to your specific trading style and preferences.
- Visual Clarity: Clearly displays the EMA, VWAP, and optional bands on the chart, facilitating quick and easy analysis.
This combined EMA and VWAP indicator is a valuable tool for traders of all levels, offering a powerful and flexible way to analyze market trends and identify potential trading opportunities.
Rolling VWAPGuide for Traders
What is the Rolling VWAP?
The Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) is a key indicator used by traders to assess the average price of an asset, weighted by volume over a specified period. Unlike a simple moving average, the VWAP accounts for trading volume, making it a more accurate reflection of price action and market sentiment.
The Rolling VWAP in this script dynamically updates based on a user-defined period, allowing traders to view the average price over a chosen number of bars. This is particularly useful for identifying trends and potential entry or exit points in the market.
Key Benefits of Using Rolling VWAP
Better Market Insight: VWAP provides insight into where most trading is occurring, helping you gauge the strength of a price move.
Support and Resistance Levels: It often acts as dynamic support or resistance, signaling areas where price might reverse.
Trend Confirmation: A rising VWAP suggests a bullish trend, while a falling VWAP indicates a bearish trend.
Informed Entry/Exit Decisions: Use the VWAP to find entry points below it in an uptrend or exit points above it in a downtrend.
How to Use this Script:
Custom Period Input:
You can modify the "VWAP Period" to adjust the number of bars considered in the rolling calculation.
The default period is 14 bars, but you can set it based on your strategy (e.g., shorter for intraday trading, longer for swing trading).
Chart Interpretation
Bullish Signals: When the price is above the VWAP line, it suggests upward momentum, and you may consider buying opportunities.
Bearish Signals: When the price is below the VWAP, it indicates downward momentum, and you may consider selling or shorting opportunities.
Reversion to VWAP: Prices often revert to the VWAP after extended moves away from it, offering potential trade setups.
Combine with Other Indicators:
Momentum Indicators: Use with RSI, MACD, or moving averages for confirmation.
Volume Analysis: VWAP works well when combined with volume indicators to assess if a breakout is supported by high trading volume.
Customization:
Traders can customize the script's period and plot color to fit their charting preferences.
Practical Tips:
Intraday Traders: Use shorter periods (e.g., 5 or 10) to capture VWAP trends in fast-moving markets.
Swing Traders: Use longer periods (e.g., 50 or 100) to assess longer-term price and volume trends.
By integrating this Rolling VWAP into your strategy, you can better understand where the majority of trading volume has occurred, allowing you to make more informed decisions in your trading process.
F.B_Volume Weighted Average Price MTFThe F.B_Volume Weighted Average Price MTF (VWAP MTF) indicator calculates the volume-weighted average price of a security across different timeframes. The VWAP is a powerful indicator used by both institutional and retail traders to make better trading decisions.
Functionality:
Timeframe:
The indicator allows you to adjust the timeframe for the VWAP calculation via the settings. By default, the timeframe is set to weekly ("W").
Restart at new timeframe:
At each new period in the chosen timeframe, the VWAP calculations are reset, and a new VWAP is calculated.
VWAP Calculation:
The VWAP is calculated by the volume-weighted average of the typical prices (High, Low, and Close) of the security. This calculation takes into account the volume of each transaction to provide an accurate average price.
Visualization:
The VWAP is displayed as a line on the chart, and the color of the line changes depending on the price position relative to the VWAP:
Green: The current closing price is above the VWAP (bullish signal).
Red: The current closing price is below the VWAP (bearish signal).
Options:
Show barcolors:
This option allows you to display the colors of the candles based on their position relative to the VWAP (green for bullish, red for bearish).
Show previous VWAP close:
This option shows the closing value of the VWAP from the previous period to provide historical reference points.
Interpretation:
Bullish Signal:
If the current price is above the VWAP, this indicates that the market trend is upward, which could be considered a buying opportunity.
Bearish Signal:
If the current price is below the VWAP, this indicates that the market trend is downward, which could be considered a selling signal.
Dynamic Fair-Value Ribbon Pro @darshakssc1. What This Indicator Is (In Simple Terms)
The Dynamic Fair-Value Ribbon Pro is a visual tool that helps you see how price behaves around a statistically derived “fair-value zone”:
A colored ribbon/cloud marks a central “fair” area.
Areas above the ribbon are labeled as “Unfair High Zone”.
Areas below the ribbon are labeled as “Unfair Low Zone”.
A small state panel tells you where price currently sits relative to this ribbon.
All calculations are based only on historical price, volume, and volatility.
It does not predict future price, does not give buy/sell signals, and is not financial advice.
2. Adding the Indicator
Open a chart on TradingView.
Click on Indicators .
Search for “Dynamic Fair-Value Ribbon Pro” .
Click to add it to your chart.
You will see:
A cloud/ribbon around price.
Colored bars when price is outside the ribbon.
A panel in the top right describing the current state.
3. Core Concept: Fair vs Unfair Zones (Analytical Only)
The indicator tries to answer a descriptive question:
“Where is price trading relative to a historically derived central area?”
It does this by:
Calculating a central value (“fair mid”).
Building a band around that mid.
Coloring the chart depending on whether price is inside or outside that band.
It is not claiming that:
Price “must” return to the band.
Price is “overvalued” or “undervalued”.
Any state is good or bad.
It is simply a visual classification tool .
4. Engine Modes — How the Ribbon Is Calculated
Under “Fair-Value Engine” you can choose:
4.1 Mode 1: Range
Looks back over a chosen number of bars (default: 100).
Finds the highest high and lowest low in that window.
Defines a central “slice” of that range as the fair-value ribbon :
Range Mode: Lower Percent → bottom boundary of the slice (e.g., 30%).
Range Mode: Upper Percent → top boundary of the slice (e.g., 70%).
Effect:
The ribbon represents a middle portion of the historical range .
Above the ribbon = “Unfair High Zone” (analytical label only).
Below the ribbon = “Unfair Low Zone”.
This is purely statistical — it does not mean price is wrong or will revert.
4.2 Mode 2: VWAP + Stdev
In this mode, the central value is based on VWAP :
VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) is used as the midline.
A standard deviation envelope is built around VWAP:
VWAP Mode: Stdev Multiplier controls how wide that envelope is.
Effect:
The ribbon shows where price is trading relative to a volume-weighted average .
Again, areas above and below are just described as “unfair” zones in a visual, analytical sense , not a predictive one.
5. ATR Adaptive Width — Making the Ribbon React to Volatility
Under “ATR Adaptive Width” :
Use ATR Adaptive Width:
On: the band width scales with volatility.
Off: band width stays fixed based on Range or VWAP settings.
ATR Length: how many bars to use for ATR.
Reference ATR (% of price): a reference level for normal volatility.
Min Width Scale / Max Width Scale: clamps the scaling so that the band doesn’t get too narrow or too wide.
What this does (analytically):
When volatility (ATR) is higher than the reference, the band can become wider .
When volatility is lower , the band can become narrower .
This is a mathematical rescaling only and does not imply any optimal levels or performance.
6. Visual Elements — What You See on the Chart
6.1 Fair-Value Ribbon (Cloud)
The cloud between Fair Ribbon Low and Fair Ribbon High is the fair zone .
Color can be changed via “Fair Ribbon Color” .
6.2 Midline
If “Show Center Line” is enabled:
A line runs through the middle of the ribbon.
In Range mode, this is the average of the upper and lower band.
In VWAP mode, it’s essentially the VWAP-based mid.
This line is for visual reference only and makes no claims about support, resistance, or reversion.
6.3 Bar Colors
Unfair High Zone: bars are colored with Unfair High Bar Color.
Unfair Low Zone: bars are colored with Unfair Low Bar Color.
Inside the ribbon:
If “Fade Bars Inside Fair Zone” is ON, bars may be more faded/neutral.
These colors are simply classification highlights ; they do not tell you what to do.
6.4 State Panel (Top Right)
If “Show State Panel” is enabled, you’ll see a small box that displays:
Current engine:
Range or VWAP+Stdev.
Current price state:
Inside Ribbon (Fair Zone)
Above Ribbon (Unfair High Zone)
Below Ribbon (Unfair Low Zone)
This is a quick summary of where price sits relative to the computed ribbon.
7. Typical Ways to Use It (Informational Only)
The indicator can help you visually:
See when price is spending time inside a historically defined central zone.
Notice when price is frequently trading outside that zone.
Compare different timeframes (e.g., 5m vs 1h vs 4h) to see how the fair zone shifts.
Experiment with:
Range length (shorter vs longer lookback).
VWAP vs Range mode.
ATR adaptation on/off.
Important:
Any interpretation of these visuals is entirely up to the user.
The script does not tell you to buy, sell, hold, or do anything specific.
8. Limitations and Important Notes
All calculations use past data only (price, volume, volatility).
The ribbon does not guarantee:
that price will revert,
that zones will hold,
or that any outcome will occur.
There are no built-in signals such as “long/short” or automatic entries/exits.
The script is best used as a supporting, visual layer alongside other tools or methods you choose.
9. Disclaimer
This indicator is:
Strictly informational and educational.
Not a trading system or strategy.
Not financial advice or a recommendation.
Not guaranteed to be accurate, complete, or suitable for any specific purpose.
Users should always perform their own research and due diligence.
Past behavior of any visual pattern or zone does not guarantee future behavior.
ETH Short-Term VWAP+EMA/RSI (ATR Risk, <1h) (James Logan)ETH Short-Term VWAP + EMA / RSI Strategy (ATR-based Risk Control)
A short-term (< 1 hour) ETH trading system designed for intraday scalps and momentum swings on 5- to 15-minute charts.
It blends trend confirmation (EMA 50 / 200) with intrabar structure (EMA 21 pullback & VWAP filter) and RSI momentum triggers, managing exits dynamically through ATR-based stop, take-profit, and trailing stop targets.
Core logic
• Long when RSI crosses above the threshold within an up-trend (EMA 50 > EMA 200) and price is above VWAP.
• Short when RSI crosses below threshold within a down-trend (EMA 50 < EMA 200) and price is below VWAP.
• Optional pullback confirmation to the 21-EMA for cleaner entries.
• Risk defined by ATR-multiples for stop-loss, take-profit, and an adaptive trailing stop.
• Automatic flat-out exit after a set number of bars (time-based close).
Best use
• 5 min – 15 min ETH/USDT charts (Binance, Bybit, Coinbase, etc.)
• Works with both spot and perpetual data.
• Tune ATR and RSI thresholds per venue; defaults are balanced for 0.05 % per-side fees.
Key parameters
• ATR SL × 1.6 ATR TP × 2.2 ATR Trail × 2.0
• RSI 50 cross | EMA 50/200 trend filter | VWAP confirmation
• Default position sizing = USD-based (e.g. $1 000 per trade).
Notes
• All orders and exits are simulated at bar close; use 1-minute bar magnifier for finer fill modeling.
• No repainting—uses only confirmed bar data.
• Best validated with ≥ 200 trades and profit factor > 1.25 over multi-month backtests.

Dual Vwap on IntradayIndicator Name: Dual VWAP on Intraday
Version: Pine Script v5
Description
This indicator plots two separate VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) lines on intraday charts, helping traders identify intraday trend bias and potential support/resistance zones.
The script is designed exclusively for intraday timeframes and will stop execution if used on daily or higher intervals.
🔍 How It Works
VWAP Calculation
Uses a custom function that calculates VWAP fresh for each trading session.
VWAP #1: Based on hl2 (average of high and low).
VWAP #2: Based on high price.
Dynamic Color Coding
The VWAP lines change color if the percentage change from the previous bar exceeds ±0.5%, signaling notable short-term volatility.
Otherwise, they retain their default colors:
Blue: VWAP (hl2 source)
Orange: VWAP (High source)
Intraday-Only Restriction
Prevents accidental use on higher timeframes to maintain accuracy.
📈 How to Use
Trend Confirmation: Both VWAPs above price → Bearish bias; both below → Bullish bias.
Support/Resistance: VWAP lines often act as strong intraday support or resistance.
Momentum Shift: Watch for price crossing either VWAP with strong candle bodies for potential reversals or breakouts.
Volatility Alerts: Darkened VWAP line indicates an intraday percentage change greater than 0.5%, signaling increased momentum.
⚠️ Notes
Works only on intraday timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m, etc.).
Best paired with volume and price action analysis.
EMA and VWAP by Phil VoEMA and VWAP by Phil Vo
Description
This indicator combines two powerful technical analysis tools: Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) and Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP). Designed to assist traders in identifying trends and key price levels, this script overlays two customizable EMAs and a daily VWAP on your chart.

LUX CLARA - EMA + VWAP (No ATR Filter) - v6EMA STRAT SHOUT OUTOUTLIERSSSSS
Overview:
an intraday strategy built around two core principles:
Trend Confirmation using the 50 EMA (Exponential Moving Average) in relation to the VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price).
Entry Signals triggered by the 8 EMA crossing the 50 EMA in the direction of that confirmed trend.
Key Logic:
Bullish Trend if the 50 EMA is above VWAP. Only long entries are allowed when the 8 EMA crosses above the 50 EMA during that bullish phase.
Bearish Trend if the 50 EMA is below VWAP. Only short entries are allowed when the 8 EMA crosses below the 50 EMA during that bearish phase.
Intraday Focus: Trades are restricted to a user-defined session window (default 7:30 AM–11:30 AM), aligning entries/exits with peak intraday liquidity.
Exit Rule: Positions close automatically when the 8 EMA crosses back in the opposite direction of the entry.
Why It Works:
EMA + VWAP helps detect both immediate momentum (EMAs) and overall institutional bias (VWAP).
By confining trades to a set intraday window, the strategy aims to capture morning volatility while avoiding choppy afternoon or overnight sessions.
Customization:
Users can adjust EMA lengths, session times, or incorporate stops/targets for additional risk management.
It can be tested on various symbols and intraday timeframes to gauge performance and robustness.
MACD Crossover Breakout Rays with VWAP & Breakout ConfirmationOverview
This script is designed to highlight potential strong breakout moves by combining MACD crossovers, VWAP confirmation, and price action breakouts. It helps traders identify momentum shifts and filter high-probability trade setups.
How It Works
1. MACD Crossover Detection
- The script detects bullish crossovers (MACD line crossing above the signal line) and bearish crossovers (MACD line crossing below the signal line).
- A horizontal ray is drawn at the high (bullish) or low (bearish) of the crossover candle.
2. Multi-Timeframe MACD Confirmation
- A secondary MACD crossover is checked on a lower timeframe (default: 5 minutes) to confirm the strength of the move.
- The script ensures alignment between the primary and lower timeframe MACD crossovers before signaling a strong move.
3. VWAP Confirmation
- A bullish breakout is valid only if the price is above the VWAP.
- A bearish breakout is valid only if the price is below the VWAP.
4. Breakout Validation
- The script waits for price action confirmation—a breakout is only valid when a candle closes above (bullish) or below (bearish) the horizontal ray.
- Once confirmed, the ray color changes to blue to signal a strong move.
5. Label Alerts for Strong Moves
- When all conditions align, the script prints "STRONG 💪 MOVE" above or below the breakout candle.
- The previous label is automatically removed to keep the chart clean.
Customization Options
- MACD Settings: Adjust fast/slow lengths and signal smoothing.
- Lower Timeframe Confirmation: Choose a different timeframe for multi-timeframe MACD validation.
- VWAP Filtering: Ensure breakouts align with volume-weighted trends.
- Ray Length & Colors: Customize the horizontal ray length, width, and colors.
- Breakout Confirmation Window: Adjust how many bars to check for MACD alignment.
Best Use Cases
✅ Identifying high-probability breakouts with trend confirmation.
✅ Filtering out false signals by requiring multi-timeframe agreement.
✅ Helping traders stay in momentum-driven moves with strong confirmation.

Eze Profit - VWAP + MACD Combined SignalThe Eze Profit - VWAP + MACD Combined Signal is an advanced trading tool designed to help traders align price trends with momentum confirmation for better decision-making. By combining Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), this indicator provides clear entry and exit signals, allowing traders to follow trends and take advantage of momentum shifts.
How It Works:
VWAP:
VWAP represents the average price of an asset, weighted by volume, over a specific period.
It acts as a dynamic support/resistance level and trend filter. Price above VWAP indicates bullish conditions, while price below VWAP suggests bearish conditions.
MACD:
MACD measures momentum through the difference between fast and slow exponential moving averages (EMAs).
Signals are generated when the MACD line crosses its signal line:
Bullish Crossover: Indicates increasing upward momentum.

TrendWave EMA/VWAP IndicatorThe TrendWave EMA/VWAP Indicator is a powerful technical analysis tool designed for traders seeking to enhance their market strategies. By combining the dynamic Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP), this indicator provides valuable insights into price trends and potential trading signals, allowing for informed decision-making in various market conditions.
Key Features:
Exponential Moving Average (EMA):
The EMA component helps traders identify the direction of the prevailing trend by giving more weight to recent price action. This responsiveness makes the EMA an essential tool for trend-following strategies.
Customizable Length: Users can adjust the EMA length (default set to 50 periods) to align with their specific trading style and preferences.
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP):
The VWAP is crucial for evaluating the average price of a security throughout the trading day, factoring in volume. It serves as a benchmark for price action and can help traders identify significant support and resistance levels.
Real-time Benchmarking: The VWAP enables traders to assess current prices against historical averages, improving their entry and exit strategies.
Signal Generation:
The TrendWave EMA/VWAP Indicator generates clear buy and sell signals based on the interaction between the price and the VWAP:
Bullish Signal: Triggered when the price crosses above the VWAP, indicating a potential upward movement.
Bearish Signal: Triggered when the price crosses below the VWAP, suggesting a potential downward movement.
These signals are visually represented with intuitive arrows on the chart, facilitating quick recognition of trading opportunities.
User-Friendly Interface:
The indicator allows traders to enable or disable components (EMA and VWAP) based on their preferences, ensuring a personalized trading experience.
Clear color coding enhances visual clarity: the EMA is displayed in blue, while the VWAP is shown in orange.
Use Cases:
Trend Following: Use the EMA to confirm the direction of the trend and make trades that align with that trend.
Price Action Analysis: Employ the VWAP to determine the average trading price and identify key support/resistance levels.
Signal Confirmation: Combine signals from both the EMA and VWAP to enhance trading strategies and decision-making.
The TrendWave EMA/VWAP Indicator is an essential addition to any trader's toolkit. By leveraging the strengths of both the EMA and VWAP, this indicator empowers traders to make informed, data-driven decisions and capitalize on market movements with confidence.
Vector Trinity I: Structure [VWAP-DBB] This indicator is **Part 1** of the "Vector Trinity" trading system—a comprehensive, data-driven framework designed to analyze market behavior through three distinct physical dimensions:
* **I: Structure (Space):** Defines the battlefield and volatility boundaries (Current Indicator).
* **II: Impulse (Time):** Identifies momentum ignition and energy release.
* **III: Flow (Energy):** Validates the move via volume and capital flow.
**2. Core Logic: Why Rolling VWAP?**
Most standard Bollinger Bands use a Simple Moving Average (SMA) as the centerline. The flaw in SMA is that it treats every candle equally, regardless of trading activity.
**Vector Trinity I** replaces the SMA with a **Rolling VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price)** over a rolling window (default 20).
* **Data Logic:** Price combined with Volume represents the true "cost basis" of the market.
* **Behavior:** The centerline becomes "sticky" during high-volume nodes and moves faster when real capital enters. It represents the *True Mean* of the market structure.
**3. The Dual-Band "Highway" Structure**
Instead of a single channel, this system utilizes a Double Bollinger Band (DBB) architecture based on Standard Deviations (StdDev) from the VWAP:
* **The Noise Zone (Basis to 1.0 StdDev):** The empty space in the middle. Price action here is often choppy and directionless.
* **The Acceleration Zone (1.0 to 2.0 StdDev):** The filled "Cloud." When candles close and stay within this zone, it indicates a strong trend (The Highway).
* **The Reversion Zone (> 2.0 StdDev):** Price is statistically extended and may revert to the mean.
**4. Volatility Squeeze Detection**
The indicator integrates a mechanical "Squeeze" detection based on the relationship between the Bollinger Bands (Variance) and Keltner Channels (ATR).
* **Squeeze ON (Orange Cloud & Dots):** Daily variance is at extreme lows. Energy is compressing. Do not trade direction; prepare for a breakout.
* **Squeeze OFF (Grey Cloud):** Expansion phase. Volatility is returning to the market.
**5. How to Use**
* **Step 1:** Observe the **Purple Line (VWAP)**. Its slope dictates the dominant trend structure.
* **Step 2:** Look for **Orange Zones**. This indicates a "Squeeze." Wait for the cloud to turn Grey.
* **Step 3:** Trade the breakout when price closes inside the "Acceleration Zone" (between the inner and outer bands) accompanied by Volume.
**Settings:**
* **Rolling Length:** 20 (Standard for swing/day trading).
* **Inner/Outer Bands:** 1.0 / 2.0 (The standard trend definition).
* **Squeeze Sensitivity:** 1.5 (Standard KC Multiplier).

### **中文说明**
**1. 简介：矢量三位一体系统 (Vector Trinity)**
本指标是“矢量三位一体”交易系统的 **第一部分**。这是一套基于数据逻辑的综合分析框架，旨在通过三个物理维度解构市场行为：
* **I: Structure 结构 (空间)：** 定义价格运行的战场边界与波动率结构（本指标）。
* **II: Impulse 脉冲 (时间)：** 识别动能的点火与能量释放。
* **III: Flow 流向 (能量)：** 通过成交量与资金流验证突破的真伪。
**2. 核心逻辑：为什么要用 Rolling VWAP？**
传统的布林带使用简单移动平均线 (SMA) 作为中轨。SMA 的缺陷在于它平等地对待每一根 K 线，而忽略了成交量的权重。
**Vector Trinity I** 使用 **Rolling VWAP (滚动成交量加权平均价)** 替代了 SMA。
* **数据逻辑：** 只有结合了成交量的价格，才代表市场真实的“平均持仓成本”。
* **表现特征：** 在放量交易区，中轨会表现出更强的支撑/阻力特性；在缩量区则表现平滑。它代表了市场结构的*真实均值*。
**3. 双通道“高速公路”结构**
本系统不使用单条轨道，而是基于 VWAP 的标准差 (StdDev) 构建了双重布林带 (DBB) 架构：
* **噪音区 (中轨 到 1.0 标准差)：** 中间的空白区域。在此区域内的价格通常是无方向的震荡。
* **加速区 (1.0 到 2.0 标准差)：** 填充颜色的“云带”。当 K 线收盘并运行于此区域时，代表趋势确立，价格进入了“高速公路”。
* **回归区 (> 2.0 标准差)：** 价格在统计学上过热，可能面临均值回归。
**4. 波动率挤压监测 (Squeeze)**
指标内置了基于布林带（方差）与肯特纳通道（ATR）对比的机械化“挤压”监测。
* **挤压状态 (橙色云带 & 底部圆点)：** 每日方差处于极低值 (Variance at extreme lows)。市场正在积蓄能量。此时不应猜测方向，而应等待爆发。
* **扩张状态 (灰色云带)：** 挤压结束，波动率回归，趋势展开。
**5. 使用方法**
* **第一步：** 观察 **紫色中轨 (VWAP)**。它的倾斜方向决定了主要的结构趋势。
* **第二步：** 寻找 **橙色区域**。这代表“挤压”正在发生。耐心等待云带变回灰色。
* **第三步：** 当价格突破并收盘在“加速区”（内轨与外轨之间）时，配合成交量介入交易。
**参数设置：**
* **Rolling Length (周期)：** 20 (波段/日内交易的标准设置)。
* **Inner/Outer Bands (内外轨)：** 1.0 / 2.0 (经典的趋势定义范围)。
* **Squeeze Sensitivity (敏感度)：** 1.5 (标准肯特纳通道倍数)。

Smartos VWAPSmartos VWAP Indicator Description
Smartos VWAP is a versatile and customizable technical analysis tool designed for traders and analysts to gauge the average price of a security based on its trading volume. The indicator calculates the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) over six different customizable periods, allowing users to adapt the analysis to their trading strategies.
Key Features:
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP): The Smartos VWAP provides a dynamic measure of the average price at which a security has traded throughout the day, weighted by volume. This makes it a useful reference point for assessing price levels.
Customizable Periods: The indicator allows users to set six different candle lengths for VWAP calculations, with default values of 21, 48, 84, 175, 480, and 840 candles. Users can easily modify these values to suit their trading preferences.
Multiple VWAP Lines: The indicator plots six distinct VWAP lines on the chart, each representing a different period. This enables traders to observe price action relative to multiple VWAPs, helping identify trends and potential support and resistance levels.
Visual Clarity: Each VWAP line is color-coded for easy differentiation, making it simple for traders to analyze price movements and the relationship between the current price and the average price over the selected periods.
Usage:
Traders can use the Smartos VWAP indicator to make informed decisions regarding entry and exit points, as well as to assess overall market sentiment. By observing the position of the price relative to the VWAP lines, traders can gain insights into potential bullish or bearish trends.
Push and Exhaustion Strategy with VWAP and Moving AveragesOverview:
The Push and Exhaustion Strategy Indicator is a custom technical analysis tool designed to help traders identify potential market turning points by highlighting significant price movements (pushes) and subsequent periods of reduced momentum (exhaustion). This indicator also incorporates key moving averages (50-period and 200-period) and the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) to provide additional context for trading decisions.
Components:
Push and Exhaustion Thresholds:
Push Threshold: Set at 1.5 by default. This means the price must increase by 50% or more compared to the previous close to signal a push.
Exhaustion Threshold: Set at 0.7 by default. This means the price must decrease by 30% or more compared to the previous close to signal exhaustion.
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price):
VWAP is plotted on the chart to provide an average price weighted by volume, giving insight into the true average price paid for an asset.
Moving Averages:
50-period Moving Average (MA): Plotted in blue, it helps identify the short-to-mid-term trend direction.
200-period Moving Average (MA): Plotted in orange, it helps identify the long-term trend direction.
How It Works:
Push Condition:
A push signal is generated when the current closing price is at least 1.5 times the previous closing price (pushThreshold).
Additionally, the closing price must be above the VWAP, indicating strong upward momentum.
When these conditions are met, a green triangle is plotted above the price bar.
Exhaustion Condition:
An exhaustion signal is generated when the current closing price is at most 0.7 times the previous closing price (exhaustionThreshold).
Additionally, the closing price must be below the VWAP, indicating weakened momentum and potential reversal.
When these conditions are met, a red triangle is plotted below the price bar.
Visualization:
The indicator plots green triangles above bars to indicate a push signal and red triangles below bars to indicate an exhaustion signal.
It also plots the 50-period and 200-period moving averages as blue and orange lines, respectively.
The VWAP is plotted as a purple line, showing the average price considering the trading volume.
Alerts:
The indicator includes optional alerts that notify the trader when a push or exhaustion signal is detected.
Usage:
Push Signals: Traders might use push signals to enter trades in the direction of strong momentum, typically buying in an uptrend.
Exhaustion Signals: Traders might use exhaustion signals to anticipate potential reversals, considering exiting positions or entering counter-trend trades.
Moving Averages: The 50-period and 200-period moving averages help provide context to the overall trend, aiding in decision-making.
VWAP: Being above or below the VWAP helps validate the strength of the price movement.
This indicator provides a comprehensive view of market momentum, aiding traders in making informed decisions by highlighting significant price moves and potential reversals within the context of prevailing trends.
Zigzag Tails [Trendoscope®] 🎲 Introducing Zigzag Tails Indicator by Trendoscope.
The Zigzag Tails Indicator, a groundbreaking tool from Trendoscope, redefines technical analysis by seamlessly integrating anchored VWAPs (Volume Weighted Average Prices) and Average Price calculations with Zigzag pivot points. This advanced indicator recalculates Average Price or VWAP from one Zigzag pivot to the next, offering unparalleled insights into market movements.
🎯 Innovative Design
Each Zigzag pivot can feature up to three distinct tails, corresponding to the high, low, and close prices of each candle. Users have the flexibility to select between Average Price and VWAP for display on their charts. By default, the indicator plots all three tails, but individual tail visibility is customizable via the settings panel.
Average Price Mode: When selected, tails depict the average price across a specified number of bars.
VWAP Mode: In this mode, tails represent the VWAP, calculated for a given price over a set number of bars.
🎯 Dynamic Dotted Tail
The Zigzag Tails Indicator features dotted tails that extend from the last Zigzag pivot to the current bar. These dotted tails dynamically adapt to market changes and are subject to repainting with the emergence of new Zigzag pivots.
When repainting is enabled, the dotted tails originate from the last unconfirmed Zigzag pivot, extending to the current bar. This setting offers a more immediate, albeit tentative, visual representation of market trends.
With repainting disabled, the dotted tails will be anchored from the last confirmed Zigzag pivot to the current bar, providing a more stable but slightly delayed market analysis.
Irrespective of the repaint option, the dotted dynamic tails is always expected to repaint.
🎯 Practical Applications
The Zigzag Tails Indicator provides more accurate support and resistance levels than traditional VWAP, rolling VWAP, or moving averages. Its precision makes it an invaluable tool for identifying trends, as well as potential trend continuations or reversals.
🛠 Indicator Settings
Zigzag Configuration:
Zigzag Length determines the loopback length for the foundational Zigzag calculation.
Number of Bars represent the calculation distance. This limitation is added to avoid runtime errors on lower timeframes. The calculations run through lots of loops. Hence, if it is run across too many bars, we may get timeout issues.
Repaint: Activating this will also display the last, unconfirmed Zigzag pivot. Since the last pivot is inherently tentative, it may repaint with the arrival of new bars. A pivot is confirmed only when a subsequent unconfirmed pivot emerges on the chart.
Tail Configuration
Tail Type: Choose between average and VWAP for the tail calculation. The average option plots a simple average, while the VWAP option calculates an anchored VWAP from pivot to pivot.
Display Options: Tailored display options for High, Low, Close prices, with customizable colors for each tail type.
Inspired by the ideas of @KioseffTrading's implementation of Zigzag Anchored VWAP
Moving Averages + BB & R.VWAP StDev (multi-tf)█ Moving Averages + Bollinger Bands and Rolling Volume Weighted Average Price with Standard Deviation Bands (Multi Timeframe)
Multiple moving averages can be independently applied.
The length , type and timeframe of each moving average are configurable .
The lines and colors are customizable too.
This script can display:
Moving Averages
Bollinger Bands
Rolling VWAP and Standard Deviation Bands
Types of Moving Averages:
Simple Moving Average (SMA)
Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
Smoothed Moving Average (SMMA)
Weighted Moving Average (WMA)
Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA)
Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA)
Hull Moving Average (HMA)
Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA)
█ Moving Average
Moving Averages are price based, lagging (or reactive) indicators that display the average price of a security over a set period of time.
A Moving Average is a good way to gauge momentum as well as to confirm trends, and define areas of support and resistance.
█ Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands consist of a band of three lines which are plotted in relation to security prices.
The line in the middle is usually a Simple Moving Average (SMA) set to a period of 20 days (the type of trend line and period can be changed by the trader, a 20 day moving average is by far the most popular).
The SMA then serves as a base for the Upper and Lower Bands which are used as a way to measure volatility by observing the relationship between the Bands and price.
█ Rolling VWAP
The typical VWAP is designed to be used on intraday charts, as it resets at the beginning of the day.
Such VWAPs cannot be used on daily, weekly or monthly charts. Instead, this rolling VWAP uses a time period that automatically adjusts to the chart's timeframe.
You can thus use the rolling VWAP on any chart that includes volume information in its data feed.
Because the rolling VWAP uses a moving window, it does not exhibit the jumpiness of VWAP plots that reset.
Based on the previous script :
Rolling VWAP█ OVERVIEW
This indicator displays a Rolling Volume-Weighted Average Price. Contrary to VWAP indicators which reset at the beginning of a new time segment, RVWAP calculates using a moving window defined by a time period (not a simple number of bars), so it never resets.
█ CONCEPTS
If you are not already familiar with VWAP, our Help Center will get you started.
The typical VWAP is designed to be used on intraday charts, as it resets at the beginning of the day. Such VWAPs cannot be used on daily, weekly or monthly charts. Instead, this rolling VWAP uses a time period that automatically adjusts to the chart's timeframe. You can thus use RVWAP on any chart that includes volume information in its data feed.
Because RVWAP uses a moving window, it does not exhibit the jumpiness of VWAP plots that reset. You can see the more jagged VWAP on the chart above. We think both can be useful to traders; up to you to decide which flavor works for you.
█ HOW TO USE IT
Load the indicator on an active chart (see the Help Center if you don't know how).
Time period
By default, the script uses an auto-stepping mechanism to adjust the time period of its moving window to the chart's timeframe. The following table shows chart timeframes and the corresponding time period used by the script. When the chart's timeframe is less than or equal to the timeframe in the first column, the second column's time period is used to calculate RVWAP:
Chart Time
timeframe period
1min 🠆 1H
5min 🠆 4H
1H 🠆 1D
4H 🠆 3D
12H 🠆 1W
1D 🠆 1M
1W 🠆 3M
You can use the script's inputs to specify a fixed time period, which you can express in any combination of days, hours and minutes.
By default, the time period currently used is displayed in the lower-right corner of the chart. The script's inputs allow you to hide the display or change its size and location.
Minimum Window Size
This input field determines the minimum number of values to keep in the moving window, even if these values are outside the prescribed time period. This mitigates situations where a large time gap between two bars would cause the time window to be empty, which can occur in non-24x7 markets where large time gaps may separate contiguous chart bars, namely across holidays or trading sessions. For example, if you were using a 1D time period and there is a two-day gap between two bars, then no chart bars would fit in the moving window after the gap. The default value is 10 bars.
█ NOTES
If you are interested in VWAP indicators, you may find the VWAP Auto Anchored built-in indicator worth a try.
For Pine Script™ coders
The heart of this script's calculations uses the `totalForTimeWhen()` function from the ConditionalAverages library published by PineCoders . It works by maintaining an array of values included in a time period, but without a for loop requiring a lookback from the current bar, so it is much more efficient.
We write our Pine Script™ code using the recommendations in the User Manual's Style Guide .
Look first. Then leap.
Smart Money Fluid [JOAT]
Smart Money Fluid — Accumulation and Distribution Flow Analysis
Smart Money Fluid tracks institutional-style accumulation and distribution patterns using a sophisticated combination of Money Flow Index, Chaikin Money Flow, and VWAP-relative price analysis. It aims to reveal whether larger participants may be accumulating (buying) or distributing (selling)—information that can precede significant price moves.
What Makes This Indicator Unique
Unlike single money flow indicators, Smart Money Fluid:
Combines three different money flow methodologies into one composite signal
Detects divergences between price and money flow automatically
Identifies high-volume conditions that add conviction to signals
Provides both the composite signal and individual component values
Features a momentum histogram showing flow acceleration
What This Indicator Does
Combines multiple money flow indicators into a composite signal (0-100 scale)
Identifies accumulation zones (potential institutional buying) and distribution zones (potential selling)
Detects divergences between price and money flow
Highlights high-volume conditions for stronger signals
Tracks momentum direction within the flow
Provides comprehensive dashboard with all component values
Composite Calculation Explained
The Smart Money Flow composite combines three proven money flow methodologies:
// Component 1: Money Flow Index (MFI) - 40% weight
// Measures buying/selling pressure using price and volume
float mfi = 100 - (100 / (1 + mfRatio))
// Component 2: Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) - 30% weight
// Measures accumulation/distribution based on close position within range
float cmf = sum(mfVolume, length) / sum(volume, length) * 100
// Component 3: VWAP Price Strength - 30% weight
// Measures price position relative to volume-weighted average price
float priceVsVWAP = (close - vwap) / vwap * 100
// Final Composite (scaled to 0-100)
float rawSMF = (mfi * 0.4 + (cmf + 50) * 0.3 + (50 + priceVsVWAP * 5) * 0.3)
float smf = ta.ema(rawSMF, smoothLength)
State Classification
Accumulating (Green Zone) — SMF above accumulation threshold (default: 60). Suggests institutional buying may be occurring.
Distributing (Red Zone) — SMF below distribution threshold (default: 40). Suggests institutional selling may be occurring.
Neutral (Gray Zone) — SMF between thresholds. No clear accumulation or distribution detected.
Divergence Detection
The indicator automatically detects divergences using pivot analysis:
Bullish Divergence — Price makes a lower low while SMF makes a higher low. This suggests selling pressure is weakening despite lower prices—potential reversal signal.
Bearish Divergence — Price makes a higher high while SMF makes a lower high. This suggests buying pressure is weakening despite higher prices—potential reversal signal.
Divergences are marked with "DIV" labels on the chart.
Visual Features
SMF Line with Glow — Main composite line with gradient coloring and glow effect
Signal Line — Slower EMA of SMF for crossover signals
Flow Momentum Histogram — Shows the difference between SMF and signal line with four-color coding:
- Bright green: Positive and accelerating
- Faded green: Positive but decelerating
- Bright red: Negative and accelerating
- Faded red: Negative but decelerating
Zone Backgrounds — Green tint in accumulation zone, red tint in distribution zone
Reference Lines — Dashed lines at accumulation/distribution thresholds, dotted line at 50
Strong Signal Markers — Triangles appear when accumulation/distribution occurs with high volume
Divergence Labels — "DIV" markers when divergences are detected
Color Scheme
Accumulation Color — Default: #00E676 (bright green)
Distribution Color — Default: #FF5252 (red)
Neutral Color — Default: #9E9E9E (gray)
Gradient Coloring — SMF line transitions smoothly between colors based on value
Dashboard Information
The on-chart table (top-right corner) displays:
