LumenQuant Intraday VWAP Bands — MQL5 Market Product Description
Short Description
LumenQuant Intraday VWAP Bands is a MetaTrader 5 custom indicator that calculates a broker-day intraday VWAP, weighted deviation bands, and optional closed-bar VWAP cross arrows.
Main Description
LumenQuant Intraday VWAP Bands is a professional MetaTrader 5 custom indicator designed for manual traders who want a clean intraday volume-weighted price reference. It is not based on RSI, ATR, Donchian channels, candle pressure, efficiency flow, MACD, Bollinger Bands, or Stochastic logic.
The indicator calculates VWAP from the start of each broker-server trading day. It uses the typical price of each candle and weights the calculation by tick volume. If tick volume is not available for a bar, a safe fallback weight of 1 is used. This makes the indicator suitable for common MetaTrader 5 symbols such as Forex, indices, metals, commodities, crypto CFDs, and other broker-supported instruments.
In addition to the VWAP line, the indicator can display weighted deviation bands around VWAP. These bands are calculated from the cumulative weighted price variance of the same intraday session. Optional arrows can highlight bullish or bearish crosses of price through the VWAP line. By default, signals are based on closed bars only.
This indicator does not trade automatically. It does not open trades, close trades, manage positions, use martingale, use grid logic, call DLL files, access files, or use WebRequest. It is a visual chart analysis tool for manual decision-making.
Core Logic
Typical Price = (High + Low + Close) / 3
Intraday VWAP = Sum(Typical Price × Tick Volume) / Sum(Tick Volume)
Weighted Deviation = square root of weighted variance around VWAP
Upper Band = VWAP + Band Multiplier × Weighted Deviation
Lower Band = VWAP - Band Multiplier × Weighted Deviation
The calculation resets at the beginning of each broker-server day. It does not use future candles.

Signal Interpretation
Bullish VWAP Cross
A bullish arrow can appear when price closes above VWAP after previously being at or below VWAP.
Bearish VWAP Cross
A bearish arrow can appear when price closes below VWAP after previously being at or above VWAP.
Band Confirmation Mode
When Require Band Confirmation is enabled, signals become stricter. A bullish signal requires a close above the upper band, and a bearish signal requires a close below the lower band.
No-Repaint Explanation
By default, Use Current Bar For Signals is false. Signals are generated on closed candles only. The indicator calculates each bar using only that bar and older bars from the same broker-server day. It does not use future candles to create or improve historical signals.
