VWAP Anchor Bands
- Indicadores
- Versão: 1.0
VWAP Anchor Bands calculates the Volume Weighted Average Price – a reference level widely used in institutional trading as a fair-value benchmark for the current trading period. The calculation follows the widely-used session-VWAP standard, using cumulative price/volume weighting with optional standard-deviation bands.
Features:
- Selectable anchor period: Session (daily reset), Week, Month, or Year.
- Flexible price source: HLC3 (default), Close, OHLC4, or HL2.
- Up to 3 deviation bands around the VWAP, calculated as volume-weighted standard deviation or as a percentage offset — fully adjustable multipliers.
- Switchable volume source: tick volume (default, suitable for Forex/CFDs) or real volume (for futures, stocks, some crypto symbols).
- Auto-hide on D1 and above: a session VWAP is not meaningful on daily/weekly/ monthly charts, so the indicator hides itself there by default (can be disabled).
- Fully customizable colors for the VWAP line and each band.
- No repainting: the VWAP is built only from completed bar data and never changes retroactively.
- Works on any symbol and timeframe (intraday timeframes recommended).
Typical use cases: dynamic support/resistance level, trend-direction entry filter relative to VWAP, and reference price for execution-quality analysis. The bands help identify statistically above/below-average deviations from the period's average price.
