Volume Weighted Average Price Dynamic Slope [sgbpulse]VWAP Dynamic Slope: A Comprehensive Indicator for Trend Identification and Smart Trading
Introducing VWAP Dynamic Slope, an innovative TradingView indicator that harnesses the power of Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) and enhances it with immediate visual feedback. The indicator colors the VWAP line based on its slope, allowing you to quickly and easily identify the direction and strength of the current trend for the asset, providing advanced tools for in-depth analysis.
What is VWAP and Why is it so Important?
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) is an indicator that represents the average price at which an asset has traded, weighted by the volume traded at each price level. Unlike a simple moving average, VWAP gives greater weight to trades executed with high volume, making it a reliable measure of the asset's "true" or "fair" price within a given period. Many institutional traders use VWAP as a central reference point for evaluating the effectiveness of entries and exits. An asset trading above its VWAP is considered to have bullish momentum, and below it – bearish momentum.
How it Works: Dynamic VWAP Slope Analysis
VWAP Dynamic Slope analyzes the inclination of the VWAP line and displays it using an intuitive color scheme:
Positive Slope (Uptrend): When the VWAP points upwards, signaling positive momentum, the default color will be green.
Negative Slope (Downtrend): When the VWAP points downwards, signaling negative momentum, the default color will be orange.
Trend Change (CHG): When a change in the VWAP's trend direction occurs, a "CHG" label will be displayed. The label's color will be green if the change is to an uptrend, and orange if the change is to a downtrend.
Identifying Steep Slopes for Increased Momentum:
The indicator's uniqueness lies in its ability to identify "steep" slopes – rapid and particularly strong changes in the VWAP's direction. This indicates exceptionally strong momentum:
Steep Positive Slope: The VWAP color will change to dark green, indicating significant buying pressure.
Steep Negative Slope: The VWAP color will change to dark red, indicating significant selling pressure.
Dynamic Momentum Strength Label: In situations of steep slope (positive or negative), a dynamic label will be displayed with the change value of the VWAP at that point. This label allows you to monitor momentum strength, intensification, or weakening in real-time.
Advanced Analytical Tools for Complete Control
VWAP Dynamic Slope provides you with unprecedented flexibility through a variety of customizable tools:
Multiple VWAP Anchors and Visual Marking:
Common Time Anchors: Choose whether the VWAP resets at the beginning of each Session (daily), Week, Month, Quarter, Year, Decade, or Century.
Advanced Intraday Anchors: Within the Session, you can choose to calculate VWAP specifically for Pre-Market, Regular Hours, and Post-Market hours. This option is particularly crucial for intraday traders.
Important Event Anchors: The indicator allows for VWAP resets at significant milestones such as Earnings, Dividends, and Splits, for analyzing the market's immediate reaction.
Visual Anchor Marking: To enhance clarity and orientation, a Label ⚓ can be displayed at each selected anchor point, helping to immediately identify the start point of the VWAP calculation in the chosen context.
Customizable Bands (Up to Three on Each Side):
Add up to three Bands above and below the VWAP to identify areas of deviation and excursion from the average price. You have two calculation options:
Standard Deviation: Based on volatility and statistical distance from the VWAP.
Percentage: Defines fixed percentage-based bands from the VWAP.
Key Pre-Market Levels (Pre-Market High/Low):
Display the Pre-Market High and Low levels as separate lines on the chart. These lines often serve as important psychological support and resistance zones, allowing you to see how the VWAP behaves near them.
Full Customization and Precise Control:
VWAP Source Selection: Determine which price data type will be used for the VWAP calculation. The default is HLC3 (average of High, Low, and Close), but any other relevant data source available in TradingView can be selected.
Offset: Set an offset for the VWAP line, allowing you to shift it left or right on the time axis by a chosen number of bars.
Customizable Colors: Choose your preferred colors for each slope state, Pre-Market High/Low lines, and Bands.
Setting the "Steepness" Threshold (Per-mille Price Change Per Minute ‱/min with Auto-Adjustment): Determine the sensitivity for identifying a steep slope by setting the required change threshold in VWAP in terms of per-mille price change per minute (‱/min). The indicator performs smart adjustment for any timeframe you select on the chart (e.g., 30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc.), ensuring that the "steepness" setting maintains consistency and relevance.
Examples for Setting the Steepness Threshold:
Suppose you set the steepness threshold to 0.3‱/min (per-mille price change per minute).
On a 30-second chart: The indicator will check if the VWAP changed by 0.15 ‱/min (half of the per-minute threshold) within a single bar. If so, the slope will be considered steep. Explanation: Since 30 seconds is half a minute, the indicator looks for a change that is half of the threshold set for a full minute.
On a 1-minute chart: The indicator will check if the VWAP changed by 0.3 ‱/min (the full per-minute threshold) within a single bar. If so, the slope will be considered steep. Explanation: Here, the bar represents a full minute, so we check the full threshold.
On a 5-minute chart: The indicator will check if the VWAP changed by 1.5 ‱/min (5 times the per-minute threshold) within a single bar. If so, the slope will be considered steep. Explanation: A 5-minute bar contains 5 minutes, so the cumulative change in VWAP needs to be 5 times greater to be considered "steep" on the same scale.
In summary, this setting allows you to precisely and uniformly control the sensitivity of steep slope detection across all timeframes, providing immense flexibility in analyzing the asset's momentum.
Advantages of Using Per-mille Price Change Per Minute (‱/min)
Using per-mille price change per minute (‱/min) offers several key advantages for your indicator:
Normalized and Objective Measurement: It provides a uniform scale for the VWAP's rate of change, regardless of the asset's price or nominal value. A 0.1 per-mille change per minute always carries the same relative significance.
Comparison Across Different Asset Prices: Using per-mille allows for direct comparison of VWAP movement strength between assets trading at very different prices (e.g., a $100 asset versus a $1 asset), enabling an understanding of true momentum without bias from the nominal price.
Smart Timeframe Agnostic Adjustment: This is a critical capability. The indicator automatically adjusts the per-mille per minute threshold you set to any chart timeframe (30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes, etc.), maintaining consistency in "steepness" detection without manual recalibration.
Precise Momentum Identification: This measurement precisely identifies when the VWAP's rate of change becomes significant, and when momentum strengthens or weakens, contributing to more informed trading decisions.
In short, per-mille change per minute (‱/min) provides accuracy, consistency, and flexibility in identifying VWAP momentum changes, with smart adaptation across all timeframes.
Who is this Indicator For?
VWAP Dynamic Slope is a powerful tool for:
Intraday Traders: For quick identification of intraday trend directions and momentum across any timeframe, with specific consideration for Pre-Market, Regular Hours, or Post-Market VWAP, and incorporating key pre-market levels.

Multi‑Day Rolling VWAP with Deviation Bands📄 Description:
This script introduces a multi-day rolling VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) indicator designed for traders who seek deeper structural insights beyond session-based VWAPs. It is particularly effective on intraday charts like 15m, 45m, 1H, and 4H, and is optimized for crypto swing, position, and trend exhaustion strategies.
Unlike traditional VWAPs that reset daily or weekly, this tool computes persistent VWAP levels by aggregating daily price-volume data across rolling windows such as the past 7, 30, or 365 days. These levels act as anchored support/resistance zones derived from real traded volume — helping traders identify where price is fair or stretched over time.
To enhance confluence and precision, each VWAP level optionally includes standard deviation bands, which act as dynamic volatility envelopes. These bands support custom multipliers, including Fibonacci levels like 0.272, 0.618, 1.0, and 1.618, providing flexible tools for identifying potential reversal or mean reversion zones.
✅ Key Features:
📊 Rolling VWAP over user-defined lookback windows (e.g. 7, 30, 365 days)
📐 Optional deviation bands based on volume-weighted standard deviation
🔢 Supports both traditional and Fibonacci multipliers for precise band tuning
⚙️ Independent configuration for up to 3 VWAP profiles (short/mid/long)
🔁 Auto-updates daily and tracks consistent volume-based anchoring
💼 Designed for crypto markets, especially high-volatility altcoins
🧠 How it Works:
At the start of each new day, the script logs cumulative volume and typical price values.
It maintains a rolling window of those daily values over configurable periods.
VWAPs are recalculated from the historical data each bar, ensuring persistence.
Deviation bands use a volume-weighted standard deviation formula, not naive price stddevs.
All inputs are optional — bands can be turned off by setting their multipliers to 0.
💡 Use Cases:
Identify long-term fair value zones in trending or consolidating markets
Spot overextended conditions using deviation confluence
Build trend continuation or exhaustion strategies around VWAP clusters
Anchor intraday decisions to multi-day volume context
🔒 Why Closed Source?
This script applies a proprietary method of rolling VWAP construction and deviation banding that goes beyond typical session or anchored VWAPs. The volume aggregation logic and smoothing techniques used are custom-built for tracking persistent volume-weighted structure — which is especially valuable in fragmented crypto markets. To protect this unique methodology, the code is published as closed-source.

FIB W-VWAP [A0A_Indicator]FIB W-VWAP is an advanced weekly anchored VWAP indicator that leverages Fibonacci-based deviation bands and a custom price source for improved market relevance.
Key Features:
Weekly Anchored VWAP: Resets automatically at the Friday NYSE close, providing a rolling weekly anchor that aligns with professional trading practice.
Fibonacci Deviation Levels: Plots multiple deviation bands around the VWAP, calculated using fixed Fibonacci-inspired multipliers for both positive and negative directions. These serve as key support and resistance zones for mean reversion or trend continuation strategies.
Dynamic Standard Deviation: Each band is based on the live, rolling standard deviation of price within the current weekly session, adapting in real time to changing volatility.
Unique Hybrid Price Source:
VWAP and deviation bands are calculated using a custom price formula:
hidden
This approach gives extra weight to the closing price while still considering intrabar extremes, resulting in a smoother and more robust anchor compared to classic VWAP formulas (such as typical price or close-only).
Visual Enhancements:
Distinct color fills and lines for each band
Configurable transparency and labels
Clearly marked VWAP and all deviation levels, labeled with their corresponding Fibonacci levels
Adaptable for Discretionary and Systematic Trading:
Useful for identifying mean reversion trades, breakouts, and overextended moves during the trading week.
How it works:
At each new weekly session (NY close on Friday), the VWAP and its standard deviation reset.
The script continuously updates cumulative price × volume, cumulative volume, and cumulative price² × volume to maintain accurate VWAP and standard deviation calculations.
Each deviation band is plotted as a multiple of the weekly standard deviation above and below the VWAP, using fixed Fibonacci coefficients.
Labels and horizontal lines extend into the future for clear, actionable visual reference.
Why use this version?
This indicator offers greater precision in turbulent markets, robust support/resistance mapping, and is especially effective for traders seeking a more nuanced, statistically informed view of weekly price structure. The hybrid source makes it more reliable during volatility spikes than classic VWAP methods.
Ready for all timeframes and asset classes—especially powerful for intraday and swing traders working with weekly cycles.

VWAP positioning for institutional price reference
Short-term EMA positioning for momentum assessment
Advanced Relative Strength Analysis
The standout feature of this indicator is its comprehensive 8-metric relative strength scoring system that compares your current ticker against both QQQ (Nasdaq-100) and SPY (S&P 500) benchmarks.
The 4-Metric Relative Strength System Explained
Metric 1: Relative Strength Ratio (RSR)
Purpose: Measures whether your ticker is outperforming or underperforming relative to its historical relationship with the benchmarks.
How it works:
Calculates the ratio of your ticker's price to QQQ/SPY prices
Compares current ratio to a 20-period moving average of the ratio
Scores +1 if ratio is above average (relative strength), -1 if below (relative weakness)
Trading significance: Identifies when a stock is breaking out of its normal correlation pattern with major indices.
Metric 2: Percentage-Based Relative Performance
Purpose: Compares short-term percentage changes to identify immediate relative momentum.
How it works:
Calculates 5-day percentage change for your ticker and benchmarks
Subtracts benchmark performance from ticker performance
Scores +1 if outperforming by >1%, -1 if underperforming by >1%, 0 for neutral
Trading significance: Captures recent momentum shifts and identifies stocks moving independently of market direction.
Metric 3: Beta-Adjusted Relative Strength (Alpha)
Purpose: Measures risk-adjusted performance by accounting for the ticker's natural volatility relationship with benchmarks.
How it works:
Calculates rolling beta (correlation and variance relationship)
Determines expected returns based on benchmark moves and beta
Measures alpha (excess returns above/below expectations)
Scores based on whether alpha is consistently positive or negative
Trading significance: Identifies stocks generating returns beyond what their risk profile would suggest, indicating fundamental strength or weakness.
Metric 4: Volume-Weighted Relative Strength
Purpose: Incorporates volume analysis to validate price-based relative strength signals.
How it works:
Compares VWAP-based percentage changes between ticker and benchmarks
Applies volume weighting factor based on relative volume strength
Enhances score when high relative volume confirms price movements
Trading significance: Distinguishes between genuine institutional-driven moves and low-volume price action that may not sustain.
Combined Scoring System
The indicator generates 8 individual scores (4 metrics × 2 benchmarks) that combine into a single strength assessment:
Score Interpretation
Strong (4-8 points): Ticker significantly outperforming both benchmarks across multiple methodologies
Moderate Strong (1-3 points): Ticker showing good relative strength with some mixed signals
Neutral (0 points): Balanced performance relative to benchmarks
Moderate Weak (-1 to -3 points): Ticker showing relative weakness with some mixed signals
Weak (-4 to -8 points): Ticker significantly underperforming both benchmarks
Display Format
The indicator shows results as: "Strong (6/8)" indicating the ticker scored 6 out of 8 possible points.
Rolling VWAP Channel [LuxAlgo]The Rolling VWAP Channel indicator creates a channel by analyzing a large number of Volume Weighted Average Prices (VWAPs) and determining a Channel based on percentile linear interpolation throughout the VWAPs.
🔶 USAGE
In this indicator, we have formed a Channel by first calculating multiple VWAPs, each with their respective anchor, then locating prices using "Percentile Linear Interpolation".
Note: Percentile Linear Interpolation locates the price point at which a specified percentage of VWAPs fall below it.
For example, a percentile of 50% would mean that 50% of the VWAP values fall below this price.
This method of analysis is important since the VWAPs are not often evenly distributed; therefore, we are able to draw importance to different levels by analyzing in percentiles.
When visualized, there is typically clustering of the VWAP values, which occurs at any given time, as seen below.
The channel can be tailored to each individual, with full control of each percentile represented in the channel. That being said, a general concept is that these clustered areas are clear results of sideways price action, which would lead us to believe that after interactions at these levels, we should expect to see a directional decision made by the market closely after.
🔶 DETAILS
The Rolling VWAP calculation calculates a user-specified number of VWAPs (up to 500), each anchored to a unique starting point in the chart based on the start of a new timeframe.
Each new timeframe that occurs causes a new VWAP to initialize. When the total number of desired VWAPs is reached, the oldest VWAP is removed and re-initialized, anchored to the current bar. Hence, the name " Rolling " VWAPs
This method allows us to automatically generate and manage large amounts of VWAPs without the need for user interaction.
After we have generated these VWAPs, we are able to run analyses on their returned values, such as the "Percentile Linear Interpolation" mentioned in the section above.
🔶 SETTINGS
Anchor Period: Choose which time period to use as the anchor point to initialize new VWAPs from.
VWAP Source: Choose the source for your VWAPs to calculate.
VWAP Amount: Sets the number of VWAPs to use. After this amount is on the chart, the oldest will be rolled.
🔹 Channel Lines
Toggle: Enable the associated VWAP Channel percentile line.
Percentile: Adjust each line's percentile independently for your needs.
Width: Adjust the width of the associated percentile line.
🔹 Calculation
Calculated Bars: Tells the indicator how many bars to calculate on, for faster calculations with less history, use a lower value. Setting this to 0 will remove the bar constraint.
VWAP %BVWAP %B - Volume Weighted Average Price Percent B
The VWAP %B indicator combines the reliability of VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) with the analytical power of %B oscillators, similar to Bollinger Bands %B but using volume-weighted statistics.
## How It Works
This indicator calculates where the current price sits relative to VWAP-based standard deviation bands, expressed as a percentage from 0 to 1:
• **VWAP Calculation**: Uses volume-weighted average price as the center line
• **Standard Deviation Bands**: Creates upper and lower bands using standard deviation around VWAP
• **%B Formula**: %B = (Price - Lower Band) / (Upper Band - Lower Band)
## Key Levels & Interpretation
• **Above 1.0**: Price is trading above the upper VWAP band (strong bullish momentum)
• **0.8 - 1.0**: Overbought territory, potential resistance
• **0.5**: Price exactly at VWAP (equilibrium)
• **0.2 - 0.0**: Oversold territory, potential support
• **Below 0.0**: Price is trading below the lower VWAP band (strong bearish momentum)
## Trading Applications
**Trend Following**: During strong trends, breaks above 1.0 or below 0.0 often signal continuation rather than reversal.
**Mean Reversion**: In ranging markets, extreme readings (>0.8 or <0.2) may indicate potential reversal points.
**Volume Context**: Unlike traditional %B, this incorporates volume weighting, making it more reliable during high-volume periods.
## Parameters
• **Length (20)**: Period for standard deviation calculation
• **Standard Deviation Multiplier (2.0)**: Controls band width
• **Source (close)**: Price input for calculations
## Visual Features
• Reference lines at key levels (0, 0.2, 0.5, 0.8, 1.0)
• Background highlighting for extreme breaks
• Real-time values table
• Clean oscillator format below price chart
Perfect for intraday traders and swing traders who want to combine volume analysis with momentum oscillators.

The built-in performance tracker shows exactly how well your signals are working - success rates, average time to hit targets, and more - providing clear insight for confident trading decisions. Optimized for daily and weekly timeframes, this suite is suitable for both manual traders and automated strategies.
Aim of the Indicator
The 8EMA/VWAP14 Oscillator with Trend Exhaustion Bands is an advanced momentum oscillator system that combines trend identification, momentum analysis, and forward-looking performance validation. This comprehensive tool measures the percentage difference between an 8-period Exponential Moving Average and a 14-period Volume Weighted Average Price while providing multiple layers of signal confirmation through visual trend ribbons, momentum shift alerts, and adaptive exhaustion detection.
How to Interpret the Indicator
Visual Trend System: The indicator displays a dynamic ribbon between the 8EMA and 14VWAP lines on the price chart, automatically colored green when EMA8 is above VWAP14 (bullish trend) and red when below (bearish trend), providing instant trend context.
Four-Tier Signal System:
Tiny Green Dots (Below Bars): Early bullish momentum shifts when the oscillator crosses above its adaptive baseline
Green Triangles (Below Bars): Confirmed buy signals when EMA8 crosses above VWAP14
Tiny Red Dots (Above Bars): Early bearish momentum shifts when the oscillator crosses below its adaptive baseline
Red Triangles (Above Bars): Confirmed sell signals when EMA8 crosses below VWAP14
Oscillator Analysis: The separate pane displays the momentum oscillator with a dynamic zero line (thin blue) representing the recent average EMA8/VWAP14 relationship. Trend exhaustion is detected through adaptive bands - orange for potential upside exhaustion and purple for potential downside exhaustion, calculated dynamically based on the oscillator's historical range relative to its adaptive baseline.
Key Settings and Flexibility
Signal Source Customization: Choose from Open, High, Low, Close, OHLC Average, or HL Average to optimize signal sensitivity for different market conditions and trading styles.
Multi-Timeframe Capability: Enable higher timeframe analysis to use signals from longer periods while trading on shorter timeframes, significantly reducing noise and improving signal quality for more reliable entries.
Dynamic Baseline Controls: Adjust the adaptive zero line calculation period (5-100 bars) - shorter periods provide more responsive momentum detection, while longer periods offer smoother trend context and reduced false signals.
Entry Timing Options: "Bar Opening Only" mode ensures signals trigger only at confirmed bar close using realistic entry prices, eliminating mid-bar noise and providing accurate backtesting results for automated trading systems.

Adjustable Quad VWAPOverview
A powerful multi-timeframe VWAP indicator that displays four customizable rolling VWAPs with advanced features for comprehensive trend analysis and signal generation.
Key Features
🔧 Four Adjustable VWAPs
Fast VWAP: Default 7 days (1-365 adjustable)
Slow VWAP: Default 30 days (1-365 adjustable)
Medium VWAP: Default 90 days (1-365 adjustable)
Long VWAP: Default 365 days (1-365 adjustable)
VWAP Adaptive (RelVol-Adjusted)This indicator provides an Adaptive VWAP that adjusts volume weighting using RelVol (Relative Volume at Time), offering a more accurate and context-aware price reference during sessions with irregular volume behavior.
Classic VWAP calculates the average price weighted by raw volume, without considering the time of day. This becomes a serious limitation during major market events such as CPI releases, FOMC announcements, NFP, or large-cap earnings. These events often trigger massive volume spikes within one or two candles. As a result, the classic VWAP gets pulled toward those extreme prices and becomes permanently skewed for the rest of the session.
In such conditions, classic VWAP becomes unreliable. It no longer reflects fair value and often misleads traders relying on it for dynamic support, resistance, or reversion signals.
This Adaptive VWAP improves on that by using RelVol, which compares the current volume to the average volume seen at the same time over previous sessions. It gives more weight to price when volume is typical for that moment, and adjusts the influence when volume is statistically abnormal. This reduces the impact of isolated volume spikes and stabilizes the VWAP path, even in high-volatility environments.
For example, on SPY 1-minute or 5-minute charts during a CPI release, a massive spike in volume and price can occur within a single candle. Classic VWAP will immediately anchor itself to that spike. Adaptive VWAP using RelVol softens that effect and maintains a more realistic trajectory.
Key features:
- Adaptive VWAP weighted by time-adjusted Relative Volume (RelVol)
- Designed to maintain VWAP reliability during macroeconomic events
- Flexible anchoring: Session, Week, Month, Quarter, Earnings, etc.
- Optional display of Classic VWAP for comparison
- Up to 3 customizable deviation bands (standard deviation or percentage)
This tool is ideal for intraday traders who need a VWAP that remains usable and unbiased, even in volatile sessions. It adds robustness to VWAP-based strategies by incorporating time-sensitive volume normalization.
Retail Pain Index (RPIx) (RPIx) Retail Pain Index (DAFE)
See the Market’s Pain. Trade the Edge.
The Retail Pain Index (RPIx) is a next-generation volatility and sentiment tool designed to reveal the hidden moments when retail traders are most likely being squeezed, stopped out, or forced to capitulate. This is not just another oscillator—it’s a behavioral market scanner that quantifies “pain” as price rips away from the average entry zone, often marking the fuel for the next big move.
Why is RPIx so Unique?
Behavioral Volatility Engine:
RPIx doesn’t just track price or volume. It measures how far price is moving away from where the crowd has recently entered (using a rolling VWAP average), then normalizes this “distance” into a Z-score. The result? You see when the market is inflicting maximum pain on the most participants.
Dynamic, Intuitive Coloring:
The main RPIx line is purple in normal conditions, but instantly turns red when pain is extreme to the upside (+2.00 or higher) and green when pain is extreme to the downside (-2.00 or lower). This makes it visually obvious when the market is entering a “max pain” regime.
Threshold Lines for Clarity:
Dashed red and green lines at +2.00 and -2.00 Z-score levels make it easy to spot rare, high-pain events at a glance.
Signature Dashboard & Info Line:
Dashboard: A compact, toggleable panel in the top right of the indicator pane shows the current Z-score, threshold, and status—perfect for desktop users who want a quick read on market stress.
Info Line: For mobile or minimalist traders, a single-line info label gives you the essentials without cluttering your screen.
Inputs & Customization
Entry Cluster Lookback: Adjusts how many bars are used to calculate the “entry zone” (VWAP average). A higher value smooths the signal, a lower value makes it more responsive.
Pain Z-Score Threshold:
Sets the sensitivity for what counts as “extreme pain.” Default is ±2.00, but you can fine-tune this to match your asset’s volatility or your own risk appetite.
Show Dashboard / Show Compact Info Label:
Toggle these features on or off to fit your workflow and screen size.
How to utilize RPIx's awesomeness:
Extreme Readings = Opportunity:
When RPIx spikes above +2.00 (red) or below -2.00 (green), the market is likely running stops, liquidating weak hands, or forcing retail traders to capitulate. These moments often precede sharp reversals, trend accelerations, or volatility expansions.
Combine with Price Action:
Use RPIx as a confirmation tool for your existing strategy, or as a standalone alert for “pain points” where the crowd is most vulnerable.
Visual Edge:
The color-coded line and threshold levels make it easy to spot regime shifts and rare events—no more squinting at numbers or guessing when the market is about to snap.
Why RPIx?
Works on Any Asset, Any Timeframe:
Stocks, futures, crypto, forex—if there’s a crowd, there’s pain, and RPIx will find it.
Behavioral Alpha:
Most indicators lag. RPIx quantifies the psychological stress in the market, giving you a real-time edge over the herd.
Customizable, Clean, and Powerful:
Designed for both power users and mobile traders, with toggles for every workflow.
See the pain. Trade the edge.
Retail Pain Index: Because the market’s next move is written in the crowd’s discomfort.
For educational purposes only. Not financial advice. Always use proper risk management
Use with discipline. Trade your edge.

Big Money TrackerOI-Anchored VWAP: Big Money Position Tracker
Understanding VWAP in Big Money Trading
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) is the benchmark most widely used by institutions to assess their execution quality and market timing. It represents the average price a security has traded at throughout the day, weighted by volume.
Why Institutions Care About VWAP:
Portfolio managers often mandate trades to be executed at or better than VWAP
Large orders are broken down and executed around VWAP to minimize market impact
Trading desks use VWAP as a neutral price to assess if they're buying too high or selling too low
Algorithmic trading systems use VWAP as a key reference for order execution
The OI-VWAP Edge
This indicator takes Big Money VWAP trading to the next level by anchoring VWAP calculations to significant Open Interest (OI) changes. This helps identify not just where institutions are trading, but where they're establishing significant positions in the crypto markets.
Key Features:
Dynamic OI-based VWAP anchoring that identifies where large positions are established
Previous VWAP level tracking to monitor historical Big Money interest points
Smart sweep detection system for both current and previous VWAP levels
Standard deviation bands for volatility context
What Makes This Indicator Unique:
Uses aggregated Open Interest data from major exchanges (Binance, BitMEX, Bybit, Kraken)
Automatically detects significant OI increases to anchor VWAP levels
Tracks both current and previous Big Money reference prices
Identifies potential stop runs and liquidity sweeps
Trading Applications:
The indicator helps identify where large positions are established and how they might influence price action:
Defense Zones: When price approaches a VWAP level with high OI, institutions often defend their positions
Liquidation Levels: Previous VWAP levels can become liquidation targets for trapped positions
Stop Runs: Sweep detection helps identify when large players might be hunting stops or creating liquidity
Mean Reversion: SD bands help identify potential reversal zones around Big Money average prices
Best Practices:
Look for price reaction at current VWAP when OI is increasing
Monitor sweeps of previous VWAP levels for potential reversals
Use SD bands to gauge volatility expansion/contraction around Big Money positions
Pay attention to failed sweeps as they often indicate strong position defense
Trading Scenarios:
// Bullish Position Defense:
// 1. High OI increase creates new VWAP (Big Money entry)
// 2. Price tests VWAP from above (retest of entry)
// 3. Failed bearish sweeps = shorts trapped
// 4. Strong defense + trapped shorts = potential squeeze
// Bearish Liquidation:
// 1. Previous VWAP level above current price
// 2. High OI trapped at higher prices
// 3. Price sweeps above then fails = more trapped longs
// 4. Break below = potential cascading liquidations
ZenAlgo - MultiverseThe ZenAlgo – Multiverse indicator provides a multi-timeframe view of Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) levels and their dynamic interaction with price across seven defined timeframes: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Semi-Annual, and Yearly. The indicator is intended to help traders contextualize price within time-based value areas and examine how price interacts with statistically relevant bands derived from those VWAPs.
VWAP Calculation and Period Structure
At the core, this script computes VWAP levels anchored to six distinct timeframes using volume data and a configurable source (default is HLC3). Each VWAP resets at the start of its corresponding period (e.g., Daily VWAP resets at the beginning of a new day) using timeframe.change() as a detection mechanism. This allows each VWAP level to reflect a clean aggregation of price and volume over its specified period.
VWAP levels are only computed if volume data is present and cumulative volume increases, ensuring logical consistency. If volume is missing or inconsistent, the script terminates execution with an error to prevent invalid outputs.
Band Calculation
Each VWAP is accompanied by one or two optional bands on both sides, calculated using percentage-based offset. Daily VWAP is configurable per user preference to use either standard deviation or a percentage-based offset. These bands provide a dynamic value area that expands or contracts with volatility or proportional price distance, respectively.
The bands help classify price as:
Inside the main band (e.g., between ±1 band): near average value
Inside extended band (e.g., ±2 bands): stretched but not extreme
Beyond extended band: potentially overheated or oversold conditions
This layering creates a multi-zoned map of value perception across timeframes.
Labeling and Historical Tracking
As each new VWAP is computed, it is stored in a bounded array alongside metadata such as label position, line objects, test count, and test state (whether price has interacted with it). Each level is drawn as a dotted horizontal line and labeled with its value and corresponding period (e.g., "D", "W", "M").
Price interaction with a VWAP level (i.e., candle high/low crossing the line) changes the styling of the label and line, marking it as "tested." A cap on how many tested levels are retained (default 10) avoids excessive clutter and resource usage.
These persistent horizontal levels give the trader a visual reference of where value was defined in previous periods and how price has respected or ignored those levels over time.
Summary Tables and Grid
Two visual table overlays are provided:
1. VWAP Summary Table , this table shows:
VWAP values per timeframe
Trend interpretation (rising, falling, stable) relative to price
Ranked order of VWAP values (from highest to lowest)
The order is recalculated each bar to reflect the vertical positioning of each VWAP on the price chart.
2. VWAP Relationship Grid
A grid matrix compares each VWAP and current price against all others. Each cell reflects whether a given source is above, below, or within a tolerance threshold relative to another. Colors (green, red, gray) visually encode the result, with the diagonal marked in black and unused cells disabled.
This matrix helps identify alignment or dissonance among timeframes, allowing users to detect whether shorter-term value is leading or lagging longer-term value.
Price Band Classification
For the Daily VWAP specifically, the script includes an extra classification system. It assigns the current price to a zone (e.g., "At VWAP", "Bear Band", "Above Bull Band 2") based on where the price lies in relation to the VWAP bands. This classification is also used for dynamic coloring and added to the daily label.
Display Controls
The script offers fine-grained controls:
Toggle visibility of each VWAP and band group independently
Adjust the offset of labels from the current bar
Customize band multipliers and color transparency
Limit the number of historical VWAP labels plotted
Position both the summary and grid tables flexibly on screen
These options allow traders to declutter their charts and focus on the most relevant context for their strategy.
How to Interpret and Use
This indicator provides a structured view of market value perception across various timeframes. For example:
When price converges with multiple VWAPs, it may suggest consensus on value.
When price moves away from all VWAPs, it may indicate trending or stretched conditions.
Crosses and retests of VWAPs (especially higher-timeframe ones) can act as areas of interest.
The band-based classification helps identify transitional zones and whether price is situated in an area where value is being accepted or rejected.
The summary tables offer a high-level dashboard of price positioning and value structure, which can assist with top-down analysis, filtering setups, or contextual decision-making.
Added Value Compared to Free Alternatives
Most free VWAP scripts:
Cover only a single timeframe (often daily or session-based)
Lack historical level tracking with tested/retested visualization
Do not support grid-level relationships or multi-timeframe band analysis
Offer limited configuration over how bands are calculated or displayed
This script consolidates multiple value areas in one consistent framework and goes further by tracking historical relevance, providing interaction logs, and organizing data into actionable overlays.
For traders seeking comprehensive value context across intraday and swing horizons, this tool offers persistent and structured data views that are otherwise unavailable through individual, isolated VWAP tools.
Limitations and Disclaimers
The indicator depends on volume data. On instruments with unreliable or synthetic volume (e.g., certain spot forex or CFDs), results may not be meaningful.
Band-based interpretation should not be used as a signal mechanism on its own.
On low timeframes, longer-period VWAPs may appear flat or visually compressed.
As with any analytical tool, interpretation requires trader discretion and should be combined with broader context.

Money Flow Index + VWAP Trend FilterThis indicator combines the volume-weighted momentum analysis of the Money Flow Index (MFI) with the trend-filtering capabilities of the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) to generate reliable buy and sell signals. By requiring MFI overbought/oversold conditions to align with the trend direction relative to VWAP, this indicator reduces false signals, making it ideal for trading on timeframes like 5-minute to 4-hour charts.
How It Works
The indicator uses two technical components to produce signals:
Money Flow Index (MFI) for Momentum Extremes:
The MFI, calculated over a default 14-period length, measures buying and selling pressure using price and volume data. A buy signal is triggered when MFI crosses above the oversold level (default: 20), indicating potential buying pressure, while a sell signal occurs when MFI crosses below the overbought level (default: 80), suggesting selling pressure.
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) for Trend Direction:
The VWAP calculates the average price of an asset, weighted by volume, resetting at the start of each trading session (e.g., daily for stocks). It acts as a dynamic support/resistance level. A bullish trend is confirmed when the price is above the VWAP, and a bearish trend when the price is below the VWAP. This ensures MFI signals are filtered to align with the broader trend direction, plotted as a purple line on the chart.
Signal Generation
Signals are generated using the previous bar’s values to prevent repainting:
Buy Signal: The MFI crosses above the oversold level, and the price is above the VWAP (bullish trend). Displayed as a green upward triangle below the bar.
Sell Signal: The MFI crosses below the overbought level, and the price is below the VWAP (bearish trend). Displayed as a red downward triangle above the bar.
SwingTrade VWAP Strategy[TiamatCrypto]V1.1This Pine Script® code creates a trading strategy called "SwingTrade VWAP Strategy V1.1." This strategy incorporates various trading tools, such as VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price), ADX (Average Directional Index), and volume signals. Below is an explanation of the components and logic within the script:
### Overview of Features
- **VWAP:** A volume-weighted moving average that assesses price trends relative to the VWAP level.
- **ADX:** A trend strength indicator that helps confirm the strength of bullish or bearish trends.
- **Volume Analysis:** Leverages volume data to gauge momentum and identify volume-weighted buy/sell conditions.
- **Dynamic Entry/Exit Signals:** Combines the above indicators to produce actionable buy/sell or exit signals.
- **Customizable Inputs:** Inputs for tuning parameters like VWAP period, ADX thresholds, and volume sensitivity.
---
### **Code Breakdown**
#### **Input Parameters**
The script begins by defining several user-configurable variables under groups. These include indicators' on/off switches (`showVWAP`, `enableADX`, `enableVolume`) and input parameters for VWAP, ADX thresholds, and volume sensitivity:
- **VWAP Period and Threshold:** Controls sensitivity for VWAP signal generation.
- **ADX Settings:** Allows users to configure the ADX period and strength threshold.
- **Volume Ratio:** Detects bullish/bearish conditions based on relative volume patterns.
---
#### **VWAP Calculation**
The script calculates VWAP using the formula:
\
Where `P` is the typical price (`(high + low + close)/3`) and `V` is the volume.
- It resets cumulative values (`sumPV` and `sumV`) at the start of each day.
- Delta percentage (`deltaPercent`) is calculated as the percentage difference between the close price and the VWAP.
---
#### **Indicators and Signals**
1. **VWAP Trend Signals:**
- Identifies bullish/bearish conditions based on price movement (`aboveVWAP`, `belowVWAP`) and whether the price is crossing the VWAP level (`crossingUp`, `crossingDown`).
- Also detects rising/falling delta changes based on the VWAP threshold.
2. **ADX Calculation:**
- Calculates the directional movement (`PlusDM`, `MinusDM`) and smoothed values for `PlusDI`, `MinusDI`, and `ADX`.
- Confirms strong bullish/bearish trends when ADX crosses the defined threshold.
3. **Volume-Based Signals:**
- Evaluates the ratio of bullish volume (when `close > VWAP`) to bearish volume (when `close < VWAP`) over a specified lookback period.
---
#### **Trade Signals**
The buy and sell signals are determined by combining conditions from the VWAP, ADX, and volume signals:
- **Buy Signal:** Triggered when price upward crossover VWAP, delta rises above the threshold, ADX indicates a strong bullish trend, and volume confirms bullish momentum.
- **Sell Signal:** Triggered under inverse conditions.
- Additionally, exit conditions (`exitLong` and `exitShort`) are based on VWAP crossovers combined with the reversal of delta values.
---
#### **Plotting and Display**
The strategy plots VWAP on the chart and adds signal markers for:
- **Buy/Long Entry:** Green triangle below bars.
- **Sell/Short Entry:** Red triangle above bars.
- **Exit Signals:** Lime or orange "X" shapes for exits from long/short positions.
- Additionally, optional text labels are displayed to indicate the type of signal.
---
#### **Trading Logic**
The script's trading logic executes as follows:
- **Entries:**
- Executes long trades when the `buySignal` condition is true.
- Executes short trades when the `sellSignal` condition is true.
- **Exits:**
- Closes long positions upon `exitLong` conditions.
- Closes short positions upon `exitShort` conditions.
- The strategy calculates profits and visualizes the trade entry, exit, and running profit within the chart.
---
#### **Alerts**
Alerts are set up to notify traders via custom signals for buy and sell trades.
---
### **Use Case**
This script is suitable for day traders, swing traders, or algorithmic traders who rely on confluence signals from VWAP, ADX, and volume momentum. Its modular structure (e.g., the ability to enable/disable specific indicators) makes it highly customizable for various trading styles and financial instruments.
#### **Customizability**
- Adjust VWAP, ADX, and volume sensitivity levels to fit unique market conditions or asset classes.
- Turn off specific criteria to focus only on VWAP or ADX signals if desired.
#### **Caution**
As with all trading strategies, this script should be used for backtesting and analysis before live implementation. It's essential to validate its performance on historical data while considering factors like slippage and transaction costs.

Moving Volume-Weighted Avg Price, % Channel, BBsThis script includes:
- Moving Volume-Weighted Average Price line.
- User-defined % band above and below, very useful for "breakout" signals, and mentally adjusting to the magnitude of price swings when viewing an automatic scale on the price axis.
- Volume-Weighted Bollinger Bands, which are more sensitive to volume.
More detail:
- This is like TV's basic VWAP in concept, except the major flaw in that is that it has reset periods that you can't override, and the volume is cumulative until the next hard reset. The 'reset' is OK for securities trading, that resets every day anyway. But not for crypto - and not if/when securities trading goes 24/7. Also, the denominator accumulating over the entire period is also *not* OK, because then what is shown means something different as the day progresses - which kind of makes it useless. In other words, it starts out very sensitive to volume, and gets progressively more numb to it as they day progresses, and starts flattening out.
- This fixes both problems, by using a user-definable moving window for the average. Essentially combining SMA with volume-weighting.
- You may also find an invaluable trading aid, in the % bands above and below.
- What can optionally be shown is standard deviation bands, aka Bollinger bands. The advantage over regular BB is that it's volume-weighted. Since it is already calculated on a moving average, the period for the standard deviation has been shortened by default, and the magnitude increased, to better approximate regular Bollinger Bands - but it's still more responsive to volume.
