# VWAP Trend Dashboard
---
## What It Does
Displays a compact dashboard on any MT5 chart showing the **VWAP-based bias** for up to **5 symbols simultaneously**. For each symbol it checks the current price against four VWAP levels and summarises the overall directional bias in a single Trend column.

## Dashboard Columns
| Column | What It Means |
|---|---|
| **Symbol** | Your custom display label |
| **NY VWAP** | VWAP anchored at NY session open today |
| **Day VWAP** | VWAP anchored at 00:00 server time today |
| **LOD** | VWAP anchored from today's Low-of-Day bar forward |
| **HOD** | VWAP anchored from today's High-of-Day bar forward |
| **Trend** | Bullish / Bearish / Mixed — majority vote of the 4 signals above |
Each signal dot is:
- 🟢 **Green** — price is **above** that VWAP level
- 🔴 **Red** — price is **below** that VWAP level
- 🟠 **Orange** — level not yet calculated (e.g. NY session hasn't opened)
---
## Setup: NY Session Times
The indicator uses **broker/server time**, not your local time. You must enter the correct server-time equivalent of the NY session:
- **NY_Open_Hour / NY_Open_Min** — server time when the NY equity session opens
- **NY_Close_Hour / NY_Close_Min** — server time when it closes
---
## Symbols
- Enter up to **5 symbols** using the **exact broker name** (case-sensitive).
- The **Label** field is what appears on the dashboard — use any short alias you like.
- Leave Symbol 4 and 5 blank if you only need 3. Empty rows are automatically hidden.
- If a symbol can't be found, its row shows orange dots. Check the name in Market Watch.

## Running Multiple Instances on the Same Chart
Each copy of the indicator needs a **unique Instance_ID**. This prevents objects from conflicting.
1. Add the indicator a second time to the same chart.
2. In its settings, change **Instance_ID** from `"1"` to `"2"`.
3. Adjust **Dashboard_X / Dashboard_Y** so the two panels don't overlap.
> You can run as many copies as you need — one per chart, or several on the same chart showing different symbol groups.

## Appearance Settings
| Setting | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Dashboard_X / Y | Panel position in pixels from top-left |
| Font_Size | Default is 9. Increase for higher-res screens |
| Color_Bull | Dot color when price > VWAP (default green) |
| Color_Bear | Dot color when price < VWAP (default red) |
| Color_Mixed | Dot color when level is unavailable (default orange) |
| Col_* widths | Pixel width of each column — adjust if text is clipped |
---
## Trend Logic
The **Trend** column is a simple majority vote:
- 4 signals are checked (NY VWAP, Day VWAP, LOD VWAP, HOD VWAP)
- More green → **Bullish**
- More red → **Bearish**
- Tie → **Mixed**
---
## Notes & Tips
- The indicator runs on **M1 bars** fetched for each symbol. Make sure Market Watch history is loaded for all symbols (right-click → History → request data).
- The **LOD/HOD VWAP** resets when a new intraday extreme is formed — it will shift as the session develops.
- The title bar always shows the current **live date and time** so you can confirm the data is updating.

## Troubleshooting
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| All dots are orange | Symbol name is wrong or not in Market Watch. Enable it and wait for a tick. |
| NY VWAP always orange | NY session hasn't opened yet for today, or session times are misconfigured. |
| Two instances overlap | Give each a different Instance_ID and offset Dashboard_X/Y. |
| Dashboard not visible | Check Dashboard_X/Y — may be off-screen. Reset to X=15, Y=20. |
