StockMarketWolf 9/20 EMA VWAP MACD Strategy

This strategy is all about catching momentum in the market by combining some of the most trusted technical indicators—moving averages, VWAP, and MACD—to help you spot better trade opportunities with more confidence.

Here’s the simple idea:

Use the 9 and 20 EMA crossover to spot when the short-term trend is turning up or down.

Check that the price is trading above or below the VWAP (the average price weighted by volume for the day) to confirm the overall market sentiment.

Use the MACD to make sure momentum is supporting your trade—no point jumping in if momentum isn’t backing it up.

How it works:

Go long when the 9 EMA crosses above the 20 EMA, price is above VWAP, and MACD is signaling positive momentum.

Go short when the 9 EMA crosses below the 20 EMA, price is below VWAP, and MACD shows bearish momentum.

Exit the trade when these signals flip or momentum fades.


Why it’s useful:

It helps you avoid trading against the trend by using the VWAP filter.

The MACD momentum check cuts down on fake breakouts.

It’s straightforward and works well on popular day trading charts like the 5-minute timeframe.

Great for high-volume stocks and futures like SPY, QQQ, or ES futures.

Things to keep in mind:

It doesn’t throw out signals all day — you get quality over quantity.

Like any strategy, it’s not perfect and can struggle during sideways markets.

Sticking to the rules and having patience is key.

All in all, this is a solid, no-nonsense strategy that mixes trend and momentum in a way that makes trading feel a bit more clear and less noisy. Perfect if you want a systematic approach without overcomplicating things.
