Price Strength Index + RSI Buy/Sell ZonesThe Price Strength Index + RSI Buy/Sell Zones indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to evaluate the strength of a financial asset's price movement by comparing it with a series of Volume Weighted Moving Averages (VWMAs) of different lengths calculated from historical data.
Hypothesis :
The core hypothesis behind this indicator is that assessing the relationship between the current price and a range of VWMAs with varying lengths can provide valuable insights into the strength and direction of a price trend. Additionally, it incorporates Relative Strength Index (RSI) conditions to further refine potential buy and sell signals.
How It Works :
Multiple VWMA Calculation: The indicator calculates multiple VWMAs, each with a different length, using historical price data and volume. These VWMAs represent weighted moving averages over various periods, helping to capture different aspects of the price trend.
Comparison with Current Price : For each of these VWMAs, the indicator compares the current bar's price with the VWMA value. This comparison is crucial in understanding how the current price relates to historical averages, shedding light on the strength and direction of the prevailing trend.
SMA of Percentage Above VWMA : The indicator calculates the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the percentage of prices above the various VWMAs over a specified period. This moving average smoothens out the percentage data, providing a clearer trend signal.
Buy and Sell Zones : User-defined upper and lower thresholds for the percentage of prices above the VWMAs are used to define buy and sell zones. When the percentage falls below the lower threshold, it signals a potential buy zone, suggesting a weakening trend. Conversely, when it exceeds the upper threshold, it signifies a potential sell zone, indicating a strengthening trend.
RSI Integration : The RSI is calculated for the selected price source with a specified length. When the SMA of the percentage above VWMAs falls within the buy zone and the RSI is below the lower RSI threshold, it indicates an oversold condition, potentially signaling a buy opportunity. Conversely, when the SMA falls within the sell zone and the RSI is above the upper RSI threshold, it suggests an overbought condition, possibly signaling a sell opportunity.
Color Coding : The indicator employs color-coding to visually represent the buy and sell zones, as well as extreme RSI conditions. Green color denotes the buy zone, red represents the sell zone, and orange lines indicate the median and potential reversal points.
In summary, the Price Strength Index + RSI Buy/Sell Zones indicator leverages multiple VWMAs of different lengths to assess the relationship between current prices and historical moving averages. This comprehensive analysis, coupled with RSI conditions, aids traders in identifying potential buy and sell zones, as well as extreme RSI points within those zones, enhancing the evaluation of price strength and potential trend reversals.
Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA)
VWMA/SMA Delta Volatility (Statistical Anomaly Detector)The "VWMA/SMA Delta Volatility (Statistical Anomaly Detector)" indicator is a tool designed to detect and visualize volatility in a financial market's price data. The indicator calculates the difference (delta) between two moving averages (VWMA/SMA) and uses statistical analysis to identify anomalies or extreme price movements. Here's a breakdown of its components:
Hypothesis:
The hypothesis behind this indicator is that extreme price movements or anomalies in the market can be detected by analyzing the difference between two moving averages and comparing it to a statistically derived normal distribution. When the MA delta (the difference between two MAs: VWMA/SMA) exceeds a certain threshold based on standard deviation and the Z-score coefficient, it may indicate increased market volatility or potential trading opportunities.
Calculation of MA Delta:
The indicator calculates the MA delta by subtracting a simple moving average (SMA) from a volume-weighted moving average (VWMA) of a selected price source. This calculation represents the difference in the market's short-term and long-term trends.
Statistical Analysis:
To detect anomalies, the indicator performs statistical analysis on the MA delta. It calculates a moving average (MA) of the MA delta and its standard deviation over a specified sample size. This MA acts as a baseline, and the standard deviation is used to measure how much the MA delta deviates from the mean.
Delta Normalization:
The MA delta, lower filter, and upper filter are normalized using a function that scales them to a specific range, typically from -100 to 100. Normalization helps in comparing these values on a consistent scale and enhances their visual representation.
Visual Representation:
The indicator visualizes the results through histograms and channels:
The histogram bars represent the normalized MA delta. Red bars indicate negative and below-lower-filter values, green bars indicate positive and above-upper-filter values, and silver bars indicate values within the normal range.
It also displays a Z-score channel, which represents the upper and lower filters after normalization. This channel helps traders identify price levels that are statistically significant and potentially indicative of market volatility.
In summary, the "MA Delta Volatility (Statistical Anomaly Detector)" indicator aims to help traders identify abnormal price movements in the market by analyzing the difference between two moving averages and applying statistical measures. It can be a valuable tool for traders looking to spot potential opportunities during periods of increased volatility or to identify potential market anomalies.
Chips Average Line (volume price) by RSUThis is a very important volume-price indicator for me.
Displays the average cost of chips for the short term (30 days), medium term (60 days), and long term (200 days).
Chip lines act as support and resistance. The longer the trend days, the greater the strength.
usage:
1. Breakout: If the stock rises, it must be above the short-term chip line. And gradually rise.
2. Sequence: When a bullish trend is formed, the short-term stack is higher than the mid-term stack, and the mid-flag stack is higher than the long-term stack. When there is a bear trend, the order is reversed.
3. Intensive: When the three chip lines are dense, there will be a periodical resonance effect, and the long-term trend will rise or fall sharply
MA Directional Table"MA Directional Table" primary objective is to analyze the direction of the trend based on two Moving Averages (MA) for various timeframes and customizing the inputs to match your preferred style.

Volume-Weighted Kaufman's Adaptive Moving AverageThe Volume-Weighted Kaufman's Adaptive Moving Average (VW-KAMA) is a technical indicator that combines the Volume-Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) and the Kaufman's Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA) to create a more responsive and adaptable moving average.
Advantages:
Volume-Weighted: It takes into account the volume of trades, giving more weight to periods with higher trading volume, which can help filter out periods of low activity.
Adaptive: The indicator adjusts its smoothing constant based on market conditions, becoming more sensitive in trending markets and less sensitive in choppy or sideways markets.
Versatility: VW-KAMA can be used for various purposes, including trend identification, trend following, and determining potential reversal points and act as dynamic support and resistance level.
Scalp Tool
This script is primarily intended as a scalping tool.
The theory of the tool is based on the fact that the price always returns to its mean.
Elements used:
1. VWMA as a moving average. VWMA is calculated once based on source close and once based on source open.
2. the bands are not calculated like the Bollinger Band, but only a settlement is calculated for the lower bands based on the Lows and for the upper bands based on the Highs. Thus the bands do not become thicker or thinner, but remain in the same measure to the mean value above or below the price.
3. a volume filter on simple calculation of a MA with deviation. Therefore, it can be identified if a volume breakout has occurred.
4. support and resistance zones which are calculated based on the highs and lows over a certain length.
5. RSI to determine oversold and overbought zones. It also tries to capture the momentum by using a moving average (variable selectable) to filter the signals. The theory is that in an uptrend the RSI does not go below 50 and in a downtrend it does not go above 50.
However, this can be very different depending on the financial instrument.
Explanation of the signals:
The main signal in this indicator Serves for pure short-term trading and is generated purely on the basis of the bands and the RSI.
Only the first bands are taken into account.
Buy signal is generated when the price opens below the lower band 1 and closes above the lower band 1 or the RSI crosses a value of 25 from bottom to top.
Sell signal is generated when the price opens above the Upper Band 1 and closes below the Upper Band 1 or the RSI crosses a value of 75 from top to bottom.
The position should be closed when the price hits the opposite band. Alternatively, it can also be closed at the mean.
Other side signals:
1. breakouts:
The indicator includes 2 support and resistance zones, which differ only in length. For the breakout signals, the short version of the R/S is used. A signal is generated when the price breaks through the zones with increased volume. It is then assumed that the price will continue to follow the breakout.
The values of the S/R are adjustable and marked with "BK".
The value under Threshold 2 defines the volume breakout. 4 is considered as the highest value. The smaller the value, the smaller the volume must be during a breakout.
2. bounce
If the price hits a S/R (here the long variant is used with the designation "Support" or "Resistance") and makes a wick with small volume, the script assumes a bounce and generates a Sell or Buy signal accordingly.
The volume can be defined under "Threshold".
The S/R according to the designation as well.
Combined signals:
If the value of the S/R BK and the S/R is the same and the bounce logic of the S/R BK applies and an RSI signal is also generated, a signal is also plotted.
Here the idea was to get very strong signals for possible swing entries.
4. RSI Signals
The script contains two RSI.
RSI 1:
Bullish signal is generated when the set value is crossed from the bottom to the top.
Bearish signal is generated when the set value is crossed from the top to the bottom.
RSI 2:
Bullish signal is generated when the set value is crossed from the top to the bottom.
Bearish signal is generated when the set value is crossed from bottom to top.
For RSI 2 the theory is taken into account according to the description under Used elements point 5
Optical trend filter:
Also an optical trend filter was generated which fills the bands accordingly.
For this the VWMA is used and the two average values of the band.
Color definition:
Gray = Neutral
Red = Bearish
Green = Bullish
If the mean value is above the VWMA and the mean value based on the closing price is above the mean value based on the open price, the band is colored green. It is a bullish trend
If the mean value is below the VWMA and the mean value based on the closing price is below the mean value based on the open price, the band is colored red.
The band is colored gray if the mean value is correspondingly opposite. A sideways phase is assumed.
The script was developed on the basis of the pair BTCUSD in the 15 minute chart and the settings were defined accordingly on it. The display of S/R for forex pairs does not work correctly and should be hidden. The logic works anyway.
When using the script, all options should first be set accordingly to the asset and tested before trading afterwards. It applies of course also here that there is no 100% guarantee.
Also, a strong breakout leads to false signals and overheating of the indicator.
Vwma Oscillator [MMD]This line calculates the exponential moving average (EMA) of the product of the close price and volume, divided by the EMA of the volume. The EMA is calculated over a period of 4 bars.
This line calculates the difference between the value of a1 and the volume-weighted moving average (VWMA) of the close price. The VWMA is calculated over a period of 8 bars.
This line calculates a3 as twice the VWMA of a2 over a period of 8 bars, minus the VWMA of a2 over a period of 16 bars.
This line plots the value of a3 on the chart. The color of the plot is determined by the condition inside the color argument. If a3 is within 20% of its previous value (a3 ) in either direction, the color is set to silver. Otherwise, if a3 is greater than 0, the color is set to green; otherwise, it is set to red. The linewidth parameter sets the thickness of the plot, and the style parameter specifies that circles should be used to plot the values.
These lines plot two horizontal lines on the chart, one at 80% of the previous a3 value (a3 *0.8) and the other at 120% of the previous a3 value (a3 *1.2). The transp=100 parameter makes the lines transparent. The fill function is then used to fill the area between these lines with either a red or green color, depending on whether a3 at the current bar is greater or smaller than the corresponding values.
This line plots a horizontal line at a value of 0 on the chart. The color is set to gray, and the line width is set to 2.
Overall, this indicator calculates the values of a1, a2, and a3 based on moving averages and
Volume Weighted Pivot Point Moving Averages VPPMAAs traders and investors, we are constantly on the lookout for tools that can assist us in making informed decisions. While there are countless technical analysis tools available, sometimes even small, simple scripts can provide valuable insights. In this post, we will explore the Volume-Weighted Pivot Point Moving Average (PPMA) Indicator – a modest yet helpful script that could potentially enhance your trading experience.

The Concept Behind PPMA Indicator
The Volume-Weighted Pivot Point Moving Average (PPMA) Indicator is a straightforward technical analysis tool that aims to help traders identify potential market turning points and trends. It does this by calculating a moving average based on price and volume data while considering pivot highs and pivot lows. The PPMA Indicator is designed to be more responsive than traditional moving averages by incorporating volume into its calculations.
Understanding the Script
The script is compatible with version 5 of the TradingView Pine Script language, and it features an overlay setting, allowing the indicator to be plotted directly onto the price chart. The customizable pivot left input enables traders to adjust the sensitivity of the pivot points.
The script first identifies pivot points, which are areas where the price changes direction. It then calculates the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of each trading period between the pivot points. Finally, it plots the PPMA line on the chart, providing a visual representation of the volume-weighted average prices.
Using the PPMA Indicator
To use the PPMA Indicator, simply add the script to your TradingView chart. The indicator will plot the PPMA line directly onto the price chart. You can adjust the pivot left input to modify the sensitivity of the pivot points, depending on your preferred trading style.
When the PPMA line is trending upward, it may indicate a potential bullish trend. Conversely, a downward-trending PPMA line could suggest a bearish trend. The PPMA Indicator can be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to confirm potential trend changes and to establish entry or exit points for trades.
Conclusion
While the Volume-Weighted Pivot Point Moving Average (PPMA) Indicator may not be a game-changer, it is a modest yet helpful tool for traders looking to enhance their technical analysis. By incorporating volume into its calculations, the PPMA Indicator aims to provide more responsive signals compared to traditional moving averages. As with any trading tool, it is crucial to conduct your own analysis and combine multiple indicators before making any trading decisions.
Advanced VWAP_Pullback Strategy_Trend-Template QualifierGeneral Description and Unique Features of this Script
Introducing the Advanced VWAP Momentum-Pullback Strategy (long-only) that offers several unique features:
1. Our script/strategy utilizes Mark Minervini's Trend-Template as a qualifier for identifying stocks and other financial securities in confirmed uptrends. Mark Minervini, a 2x US Investment Champion, developed the Trend-Template, which covers eight different and independent characteristics that can be adjusted and optimized in this trend-following strategy to ensure the best results. The strategy will only trigger buy-signals in case the optimized qualifiers are being met.
2. Our strategy is based on the supply/demand balance in the market, making it timeless and effective across all timeframes. Whether you are day trading using 1- or 5-min charts or swing-trading using daily charts, this strategy can be applied and works very well.
3. We have also integrated technical indicators such as the RSI and the MA / VWAP crossover into this strategy to identify low-risk pullback entries in the context of confirmed uptrends. By doing so, the risk profile of this strategy and drawdowns are being reduced to an absolute minimum.
Minervini’s Trend-Template and the ‘Stage-Analysis’ of the Markets
This strategy is a so-called 'long-only' strategy. This means that we only take long positions, short positions are not considered.
The best market environment for such strategies are periods of stable upward trends in the so-called stage 2 - uptrend.
In stable upward trends, we increase our market exposure and risk.
In sideways markets and downward trends or bear markets, we reduce our exposure very quickly or go 100% to cash and wait for the markets to recover and improve. This allows us to avoid major losses and drawdowns.
This simple rule gives us a significant advantage over most undisciplined traders and amateurs!
'The Trend is your Friend'. This is a very old but true quote.
What's behind it???
• 98% of stocks made their biggest gains in a Phase 2 upward trend.
• If a stock is in a stable uptrend, this is evidence that larger institutions are buying the stock sustainably.
• By focusing on stocks that are in a stable uptrend, the chances of profit are significantly increased.
• In a stable uptrend, investors know exactly what to expect from further price developments. This makes it possible to locate low-risk entry points.
The goal is not to buy at the lowest price – the goal is to buy at the right price!
Each stock goes through the same maturity cycle – it starts at stage 1 and ends at stage 4
Stage 1 – Neglect Phase – Consolidation
Stage 2 – Progressive Phase – Accumulation
Stage 3 – Topping Phase – Distribution
Stage 4 – Downtrend – Capitulation
This strategy focuses on identifying stocks in confirmed stage 2 uptrends. This in itself gives us an advantage over long-term investors and less professional traders.
By focusing on stocks in a stage 2 uptrend, we avoid losses in downtrends (stage 4) or less profitable consolidation phases (stages 1 and 3). We are fully invested and put our money to work for us, and we are fully invested when stocks are in their stage 2 uptrends.
But how can we use technical chart analysis to find stocks that are in a stable stage 2 uptrend?
Mark Minervini has developed the so-called 'trend template' for this purpose. This is an essential part of our JS-TechTrading pullback strategy. For our watchlists, only those individual values that meet the tough requirements of Minervini's trend template are eligible.
The Trend Template
• 200d MA increasing over a period of at least 1 month, better 4-5 months or longer
• 150d MA above 200d MA
• 50d MA above 150d MA and 200d MA
• Course above 50d MA, 150d MA and 200d MA
• Ideally, the 50d MA is increasing over at least 1 month
• Price at least 25% above the 52w low
• Price within 25% of 52w high
• High relative strength according to IBD.
NOTE: In this basic version of the script, the Trend-Template has to be used as a separate indicator on TradingView (Public Trend-Template indicators are available in TradingView – community scripts). It is recommended to only execute buy signals in case the stock or financial security is in a stage 2 uptrend, which means that the criteria of the trend-template are fulfilled.
This strategy can be applied to all timeframes from 5 min to daily.
The VWAP Momentum-Pullback Strategy
For the JS-TechTrading VWAP Momentum-Pullback Strategy, only stocks and other financial instruments that meet the selected criteria of Mark Minervini's trend template are recommended for algorithmic trading with this startegy.
A further prerequisite for generating a buy signals is that the individual value is in a short-term oversold state (RSI).
When the selling pressure is over and the continuation of the uptrend can be confirmed by the MA / VWAP crossover after reaching a price low, a buy signal is issued by this strategy.
Stop-loss limits and profit targets can be set variably. You also have the option to make use of the trailing stop exit strategy.
Relative Strength Index (RSI)
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a technical indicator developed by Welles Wilder in 1978. The RSI is used to perform a market value analysis and identify the strength of a trend as well as overbought and oversold conditions. The indicator is calculated on a scale from 0 to 100 and shows how much an asset has risen or fallen relative to its own price in recent periods.
The RSI is calculated as the ratio of average profits to average losses over a certain period of time. A high value of the RSI indicates an overbought situation, while a low value indicates an oversold situation. Typically, a value > 70 is considered an overbought threshold and a value < 30 is considered an oversold threshold. A value above 70 signals that a single value may be overvalued and a decrease in price is likely , while a value below 30 signals that a single value may be undervalued and an increase in price is likely.
For example, let's say you're watching a stock XYZ. After a prolonged falling movement, the RSI value of this stock has fallen to 26. This means that the stock is oversold and that it is time for a potential recovery. Therefore, a trader might decide to buy this stock in the hope that it will rise again soon.
The MA / VWAP Crossover Trading Strategy
This strategy combines two popular technical indicators: the Moving Average (MA) and the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP). The MA VWAP crossover strategy is used to identify potential trend reversals and entry/exit points in the market.
The VWAP is calculated by taking the average price of an asset for a given period, weighted by the volume traded at each price level. The MA, on the other hand, is calculated by taking the average price of an asset over a specified number of periods. When the MA crosses above the VWAP, it suggests that buying pressure is increasing, and it may be a good time to enter a long position. When the MA crosses below the VWAP, it suggests that selling pressure is increasing, and it may be a good time to exit a long position or enter a short position.
Traders typically use the MA VWAP crossover strategy in conjunction with other technical indicators and fundamental analysis to make more informed trading decisions. As with any trading strategy, it is important to carefully consider the risks and potential rewards before making any trades.
This strategy is applicable to all timeframes and the relevant parameters for the underlying indicators (RSI and MA/VWAP) can be adjusted and optimized as needed.
Backtesting
Backtesting gives outstanding results on all timeframes and drawdowns can be reduced to a minimum level. In this example, the hourly chart for MCFT has been used.
Settings for backtesting are:
- Period from Jan 2020 until March 2023
- Starting capital 100k USD
- Position size = 25% of equity
- 0.01% commission = USD 2.50.- per Trade
- Slippage = 2 ticks
Other comments
- This strategy has been designed to identify the most promising, highest probability entries and trades for each stock or other financial security.
- The combination of the Trend-Template and the RSI qualifiers results in a highly selective strategy which only considers the most promising swing-trading entries. As a result, you will normally only find a low number of trades for each stock or other financial security per year in case you apply this strategy for the daily charts. Shorter timeframes will result in a higher number of trades / year.
- Consequently, traders need to apply this strategy for a full watchlist rather than just one financial security.
Moving Average Lab - by InFinitoThe Moving Average Lab allows to create any possible combination of up to 3 given MAs. It is meant to help you find the perfect MA that fits your style, strategy and market type.
This script allows to average, weight, double and triple multiple types and lengths of Moving Averages
Currently supported MA types are:
SMA
EMA
VWMA
WMA
SMMA (RMA)
HMA
LSMA
DEMA
TEMA
Features:
- Double or Triple any type of Moving Average using the same logic used for calculating DEMAs and TEMAs:
In the following example you can see a normal, double and triple 200 VWMA
- Average 2 or 3 different types and lengths of Moving Average:
In the example you can see the average between a Double LSMA and a SMA
- Weight each MA manually:
The example shows the average of an HMA and a VWMA with the HMA having a weight of 2 and the VWMA having a weight of 1
- Average up to 3 personalized MAs:
The example shows the average of an EMA + a Double WMA + a Triple SMA with a 3:2:1 weighting

The example shows the average of an 800 SMA + a 400 VWMA + a 200 EMA
Volume Spread Analysis IchimokuThis version of the popular Ichimoku indicator is modified to let the user choose between his classic mode and the volume-weighted mode.
Every line of the indicator is customizable with this function.
The Kijun and Tenkan lines are choosable from:
1. The normal version, so the average of the high and the low of the selected period
2. The volume mode, so the average price of the selected input ponderated to the volume
The Senkau Span A is the average from the Kijun (fast line) and the Tenkan (slow line) lines and it's choosable from:
1. The normal price version
2. The volume mode
3. The average between points 1 and 2
4. The automatic average between the two fast lines that you've chosen
The Senkau Span B is the slowest line of the indicator, used to determine the long-term trend, and can be chosen from:
1. The normal average price between the high and the low of the selected period
2. The volume average price, using the Volume Weighted Moving Average
The Trama Backline is the popular "LUX Algo" T.R.A.M.A. indicator, which I'm thankful for, and can be fantastically used to display the current trend strength and condition. This line is readable in the following way:
- If the line is moving sideways, the trend may be in a consolidation phase
- If the line is moving upwards or downwards, the trend may be in a trend phase
Ratio Smoothed, Volume Weighted Moving AverageThis is experimental moving average doesn't use a period/length but instead buffers the price per share and transfers that price per share at a given ratio per bar while also releasing the previous values at a decay ratio.
The idea is that volume is the engine by which the price moves but spikes in volume can cause noise. By having a buffer of price per share units, this VWMA style indicator can behave more like a WMA combined with volume (VAWMA) but smooths out the noise of recent volume. The end result is a price movement that is smooth but also still based strongly up on the average price per share and will always eventually catch up to the true price per share value.
A metaphor to understand this could be a bucket with a hole in it where water is flowing sporadically into the bucket. The level of water in the bucket may change drastically but instead of all the water emptying out immediately, it is throttled by the hole in the bottom. As the level rises, the water pressure increases and the flow increases so that the virtual bucket never has a chance to fill up but also never really empties either.
VWMA/SMA 3Commas BotThis strategy utilizes two pairs of different Moving Averages, two Volume-Weighted Moving Averages (VWMA) and two Simple Moving Averages (SMA).
There is a FAST and SLOW version of each VWMA and SMA.
The concept behind this strategy is that volume is not taken into account when calculating a Simple Moving Average.
Simple Moving Averages are often used to determine the dominant direction of price movement and to help a trader look past any short-term volatility or 'noise' from price movement, and instead determine the OVERALL direction of price movement so that one can trade in that direction (trend-following) or look for opportunities to trade AGAINST that direction (fading).
By comparing the different movements of a Volume-Weighted Moving Average against a Simple Moving Average of the same length, a trader can get a better picture of what price movements are actually significant, helping to reduce false signals that might occur from only using Simple Moving Averages.
The practical applications of this strategy are identifying dominant directional trends. These can be found when the Volume Weighted Moving Average is moving in the same direction as the Simple Moving Average, and ideally, tracking above it.
This would indicate that there is sufficient volume supporting an uptrend or downtrend, and thus gives traders additional confirmation to potentially look for a trade in that direction.
One can initially look for the Fast VWMA to track above the Fast SMA as your initial sign of bullish confirmation (reversed for downtrending markets). Then, when the Fast VWMA crosses over the Slow SMA, one can determine additional trend strength. Finally, when the Slow VWMA crosses over the Slow SMA, one can determine that the trend is truly strong.
Traders can choose to look for trade entries at either of those triggers, depending on risk tolerance and risk appetite.
Furthermore, this strategy can be used to identify divergence or weakness in trending movements. This is very helpful for identifying potential areas to exit one's trade or even look for counter-trend trades (reversals).
These moments occur when the Volume-Weighted Moving Average, either fast or slow, begins to trade in the opposite direction as their Simple Moving Average counterpart.
For instance, if price has been trending upwards for awhile, and the Fast VWMA begins to trade underneath the Fast SMA, this is an indication that volume is beginning to falter. Uptrends need appropriate volume to continue moving with momentum, so when we see volume begin to falter, it can be a potential sign of an upcoming reversal in trend.
Depending on how quickly one wants to enter into a movement, one could look for crosses of the Fast VWMA under/over the Fast SMA, crosses of the Fast VWMA over/under the Slow SMA, or crosses over/under of the Slow VWMA and the Slow SMA.
This concept was originally published here on TradingView by ProfitProgrammers.
Here is a link to his original indicator script:
I have added onto this concept by:
converting the original indicator into a strategy tester for backtesting
adding the ability to conveniently test long or short strategies, or both
adding the ability to calculate dynamic position sizes
adding the ability to calculate dynamic stop losses and take profit levels using the Average True Range
adding the ability to exit trades based on overbought/oversold crosses of the Stochastic RSI
conveniently switch between different thresholds or speeds of the Moving Average crosses to test different strategies on different asset classes
easily hook this strategy up to 3Commas for automation via their DCA bot feature

VWMA Fibonacci Bands (VFIBs)This is a momentum indicator , utilizing Volume Weighted Moving Averages (VWMAs), Average True Range (ATR), and Fibonacci Levels.
This indicator can be used in most, if not all, financial markets. I have personally found it to be most useful in mid or large cap stocks, index funds, and cryptocurrencies in the top 25 by market cap. I have not tested this indicator in Forex markets, but I imagine that it would function well there, too.
The idea behind proper use of this indicator centers around mean reversion. If price is low compared to previous price action, mean reversion implies that it is likely to revert back to the mean, over time. If price is high, it implies that it will move lower. Generally, the different period VWMAs (center lines) will act as support when in an uptrend and resistance when in a downtrend. Additionally, it is rare for price to go above the upper bounds or lower bounds of the Fibonacci Bollinger Bands . Price action doing so may indicate a potential short or long position, respectively.
This indicator is intended to be used in tandem with the oscillator 'VFIBs Agreement', to be published shortly.
As we can see in the chart, the 50 week VWMA has been acting as resistance and recently dipped down to the bottom range of the band, only to bounce back. Holding above the 50 VWMA might indicate a bullish reversal, treating it as support moving forward.
3 Series Cross Indicator with Alerts - by WAMRAThis Indicator allows users to add any 3 combinations of moving averages (SMA, EMA, RMA, RSI, Stochastic RSI, WMA, VWAP ) with granular alert conditions.
Users can alert when all series are in climbing or declining mode.
VWATR Multi-Timeframe RibbonThis script combines and averages Volume-Weighted Moving Averages in a specific way to make a unique ATR band that expands and retracts based on the volume in the current market.
This indicator allows for viewing up to 4 VWATR Bands on all the major trading timeframes.
This creates support and resistance levels that are fluid enough for traders to use these 4 methods:
- Identify a range to trade between in sideways markets.
- Identify when we are beginning a move(breaking out of the bands and using them as support to trade from).
- During a trend, traders can use higher timeframe VWATR Bands to identify take profits or potential rejection points.
- Identify when a trend may be over(losing the band as support after a breakout).
NOTE: This script will work fine on identifying crypto assets and stocks, but markets with different volume parameters will negatively affect the accuracy of this script.
JMF MTF historical Vwap map and static levels. What is a vwap map?
This is a Multi time frame Historical vwap heatmap. The study plots lines and maps out historical vwap zones based on closing vwap value of the time frame selected and the time frames high range. Show casing high volume concentration areas and low volume area's from each time frame chosen on chart.
Static Vwap Lines can be turned off in settings, as well as the map, you can use each individually or paired together for a more complete overview of the levels. You can also refine the search by using the "Gap %" input. This will filter out and search for average price's that have gapped up or down "X" percent from the previous days average price. Leaving you with Static vwaps and map zones from the most important "Gap Day's". This helps clean up the over all visual, but be careful choosing a higher gap percentage, that you don't lose too much granularity the map offers.
What will a "Static vwap and Map look like"
The look will vary greatly depending on where the stock is in its historical range. If the name is in a consolidation range with a lot of recent average prices directly above and below, you will have a heavy, crowded, Darker/intense heat signature from the map, You will also see levels in map mode over lapping and lines bundled together. These high traffic area's can act as great support or resistance since they are showing a congregation of historical average prices where participants have previously interacted. On the contrary, if you see "open air" in the map, or large areas of blank chart where no heat signature is mapping, this is an area of LOW volume and average prices. Current price will or can move quickly through these areas IF price accepts inside the open air range. If price does NOT accept inside the open air range, Then the blank low volume zone can and will act as support or resistance given the situation.
Capture the gaps.
I look to capture these "Gaps" created by the map and static levels both long or short. I have noticed over time that the higher time frame maps zones are WELL respected intraday, Daily, Weekly, Monthly etc. I look for areas where we are clearing a high volume zone, we break above, hold and accept into open air, and start to move through the open air zones up or down.
I also use the more granular smaller levels as support and resistance intraday while in plays.
Time frames and settings .
User has 3 inputs for seperate time frames to show. You can show a combo of all 3 timeframes, or you can show only a single time frame of your choosing, or two. Mix and match with the string input time frames.
Acceptable inputs are - 5,10,15,30,60,90,240,D,W,M,2D,4W,3M and so on. Any combination of string input timeframe should work, that means numbers (5,10,15,etc) or letters (D,W,M,etc) or combination of the two.
Look and feel
Each time frame has its own color input, transparency input, line style input, and line weight input. User can customize any of the lines or maps to their liking with a wide variety of styles, widths, and colors.
Any or all of the time frames can be enabled or disabled as well, to make the map as busy, or as calm as you would like.
Enjoy !
In the end I encourage any who tries the Heatmap to really sit down and spend some time playing around with the settings in order to find out how they like the map set up. I usually run the default settings on a intraday 5min chart, and then another instance of the study on a 15min chart with W,M,3M. plotted. That way I can see granular intraday levels, and macro long term levels in the same view. See what fit's you the best, and how you like to trade. Most of all ENJOY!
Good luck -
JMF.

Heikin Ashi - The WhaleThe strategy is based on Heikin Ashi calculation, you do not need to switch the candle to HA.
The HA is used as a base entry, if a candle or two candles are bullish, then is valid to open a position, you can select the validation, one or two candles.
Also, the strategy mainly uses volume indicators as a confluence, you can select VWAP , VWMA , and Volume Oscillator, in addition to ADX which has two ways to validate the entry.
Base entry: One or two bullish HA candles (candles without a lower wick)
Confluence Indicators:
ADX: Will give a positive signal only if ADX is above the threshold, or if +DI is above -DI, or both.
VWAP: will give a positive signal if HA close is above VWAP.
VWMA: composite of 3 MA (20, 25, 50). There are multiple options to set it as confluence, the first option is to check if the short is bigger than the long and long is bigger than the base. The other options are to check the close status, which is bigger than which MA. You can find the description of each option in the strategy box
The sell is based on trailing stop loss (TSL), while the stop loss is based lowest X candle, the strategy will look back to the lowest number of the HA candles and set it as stop loss.
Chart VWAP█ OVERVIEW
This indicator displays a Volume-Weighted Average Price anchored to the leftmost visible bar of the chart. It dynamically recalculates when the chart's visible bars change because you scroll or zoom your chart.
If you are not already familiar with VWAP, our Help Center will get you started. The typical VWAP is designed to be used on intraday charts, as it resets at the beginning of the day. Our Rolling VWAP , instead, resets on a rolling time window. You may also find the VWAP Auto Anchored built-in indicator worth a try.
█ HOW TO USE IT
Load the indicator on an active chart (see the Help Center if you don't know how). By default, it displays the chart's VWAP in orange and a simple average of the chart's visible close values in gray. This average can be used as a companion to the VWAP, since both are calculated from the same set of bars. The script's settings allow you to hide it.
You may also use the script's settings to enable the display of the chart's OHLC (open, high, low, close) levels and the values of the high and low. These are also calculated from the range of visible bars. You can complement the high and low lines with their price and their distance in percent from the chart's latest visible close . You can use the levels to quickly identify the distances from extreme points in the visible price range, as well as observe the visible chart's beginning and end prices.
█ NOTES FOR Pine Script™ CODERS
This script showcases three novelties:
• Dynamic recalculation on visible bars
• The VisibleChart library by PineCoders
• The new `anchor` parameter of ta.vwap()
Dynamic recalculation on visible bars
This script behaves in a novel way made possible by the recent introduction of two new built-in variables: chart.left_visible_bar_time and chart.right_visible_bar_time , which return the opening time of the leftmost and rightmost visible bars on the chart. These are only two of many new built-ins in the `chart.*` namespace. See this blog post for more information, or look up them up by typing "chart." in the Pine Script™ Reference Manual .
Any script using chart.left_visible_bar_time or chart.right_visible_bar_time acquires a unique property, which triggers its recalculation when traders scroll or zoom their chart, causing the range of visible bars to change. This new capability is what makes it possible for this script to calculate its VWAP on the chart's visible bars only, and dynamically recalculate if the user scrolls or zooms their chart.
This script is just a start to the party; endless uses for indicators that redraw on changes to the chart will no doubt emerge through the hands of our community's Pine Script™ programmers.
The VisibleChart library by PineCoders
The newly published VisibleChart library is designed to help programmers benefit from the new capabilities made possible by the fact that Pine Script™ code can now tell when it is executing on visible bars. The library's description, functions and example code will help programmers make the most of the new feature.
This script uses three of the library's functions:
• `PCvc.vVwap()` calculates a VWAP for visible bars.
• `PCvc.avg()` calculates the average of a source value for visible bars only. We use it to calculate the average close (the default source).
• `PCvc.chartXTimePct(25)` calculates a time value corresponding to 25% of the horizontal distance between visible bars, starting from the left.
The new `anchor` parameter of ta.vwap()
Our script also uses this new `anchor` parameter to reset the VWAP at the leftmost visible bar. See how simple the code is for the VisibleChart library's `vVwap()` function.
Look first. Then leap.
Swing Trading SPX CorrelationThis is a long timeframe script designed to benefit from the correlation with the Percentage of stocks Above 200 moving average from SPX
At the same time with this percentage we are creating a weighted moving average to smooth its accuracy.
The rules are simple :
If the moving average is increasing its a long signal/short exit
If the moving average is decreased its a short signal/long exit.
Curently the strategy has been adapted for long only entries.

Weight Gain 4000 - (Adjustable Volume Weighted MA) - [mutantdog]Short Version:
This is a fairly self-contained system based upon a moving average crossover with several unique features. The most significant of these is the adjustable volume weighting system, allowing for transformations between standard and weighted versions of each included MA. With this feature it is possible to apply partial weighting which can help to improve responsiveness without dramatically altering shape. Included types are SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, hSMA, DEMA and TEMA. Potentially more will be added in future (check updates below).
In addition there are a selection of alternative 'weighted' inputs, a pair of Bollinger-style deviation bands, a separate price tracker and a bunch of alert presets.
This can be used out-of-the-box or tweaked in multiple ways for unusual results. Default settings are a basic 8/21 EMA cross with partial volume weighting. Dev bands apply to MA2 and are based upon the type and the volume weighting. For standard Bollinger bands use SMA with length 20 and try adding a small amount of volume weighting.
A more detailed breakdown of the functionality follows.
Long Version:
ADJUSTABLE VOLUME WEIGHTING
In principle any moving average should have a volume weighted analogue, the standard VWMA is just an SMA with volume weighting for example. Actually, we can consider the SMA to be a special case where volume is a constant 1 per bar (the value is somewhat arbitrary, the important part is that it's constant). Similar principles apply to the 'elastic' EVWMA which is the volume weighted analogue of an RMA. In any case though, where we have standard and weighted variants it is possible to transform one into the other by gradually increasing or decreasing the weighting, which forms the basis of this system. This is not just a simple multiplier however, that would not work due to the relative proportions being the same when set at any non zero value. In order to create a meaningful transformation we need to use an exponent instead, eg: volume^x , where x is a variable determined in this case by the 'volume' parameter. When x=1, the full volume weighting applies and when x=0, the volume will be reduced to a constant 1. Values in between will result in the respective partial weighting, for example 0.5 will give the square root of the volume.
The obvious question here though is why would you want to do this? To answer that really it is best to actually try it. The advantages that volume weighting can bring to a moving average can sometimes come at the cost of unwanted or erratic behaviour. While it can tend towards much closer price tracking which may be desirable, sometimes it needs moderating especially in markets with lower liquidity. Here the adjustability can be useful, in many cases i have found that adding a small amount of volume weighting to a chosen MA can help to improve its responsiveness without overpowering it. Another possible use case would be to have two instances of the same MA with the same length but different weightings, the extent to which these diverge from each other can be a useful indicator of trend strength. Other uses will become apparent with experimentation and can vary from one market to another.
THE INCLUDED MODES
At the time of publication, there are 7 included moving average types with plans to add more in future. For now here is a brief explainer of what's on offer (continuing to use x as shorthand for the volume parameter), starting with the two most common types.
SMA: As mentioned above this is essentially a standard VWMA, calculated here as sma(source*volume^x,length)/sma(volume^x,length). In this case when x=0 then volume=1 and it reduces to a standard SMA.
RMA: Again mentioned above, this is an EVWMA (where E stands for elastic) with constant weighting. Without going into detail, this method takes the 1/length factor of an RMA and replaces it with volume^x/sum(volume^x,length). In this case again we can see that when x=0 then volume=1 and the original 1/length factor is restored.
EMA: This follows the same principle as the RMA where the standard 2/(length+1) factor is replaced with (2*volume^x)/(sum(volume^x,length)+volume^x). As with an RMA, when x=0 then volume=1 and this reduces back to the standard 2/(length+1).
DEMA: Just a standard Double EMA using the above.
TEMA: Likewise, a standard Triple EMA using the above.
hSMA: This is the same as the SMA except it uses harmonic mean calculations instead of arithmetic. In most cases the differences are negligible however they can become more pronounced when volume weighting is introduced. Furthermore, an argument can be made that harmonic mean calculations are better suited to downtrends or bear markets, in principle at least.
WMA: Probably the most contentious one included. Follows the same basic calculations as for the SMA except uses a WMA instead. Honestly, it makes little sense to combine both linear and volume weighting in this manner, included only for completeness and because it can easily be done. It may be the case that a superior composite could be created with some more complex calculations, in which case i may add that later. For now though this will do.
An additional 'volume filter' option is included, which applies a basic filter to the volume prior to calculation. For types based around the SMA/VWMA system, the volume filter is a WMA-4, for types based around the RMA/EVWMA system the filter is a RMA-2.
As and when i add more they will be listed in the updates at the bottom.
WEIGHTED INPUTS
The ohlc method of source calculations is really a leftover from a time when data was far more limited. Nevertheless it is still the method used in charting and for the most part is sufficient. Often the only important value is 'close' although sometimes 'high' and 'low' can be relevant also. Since we are volume weighting however, it can be useful to incorporate as much information as possible. To that end either 'hlc3' or 'hlcc4' tend to be the best of the defaults (in the case of 24/7 charting like crypto or intraday trading, 'ohlc4' should be avoided as it is effectively the same as a lagging version of 'hlcc4'). There are many other (infinitely many, in fact) possible combinations that can be created, i have included a few here.
The premise is fairly straightforward, by subtracting one value from another, the remaining difference can act as a kind of weight. In a simple case consider 'hl2' as simply the midrange ((high+low)/2), instead of this using 'high+low-open' would give more weight to the value furthest from the open, providing a good estimate of the median. An even better estimate can be achieved by combining that with 'high+low-close' to give the included result 'hl-oc2'. Similarly, 'hlc3' can be considered the basic mean of the three significant values, an included weighted version 'hlc2-o2' combines a sum with subtraction of open to give an estimated mean that may be more accurate. Finally we can apply a similar principle to the close, by subtracting the other values, this one potentially gets more complex so the included 'cc-ohlc4' is really the simplest. The result here is an overbias of the close in relation to the open and the midrange, while in most cases not as useful it can provide an estimate for the next bar assuming that the trend continues.
Of the three i've included, hlc2-o2 is in my opinion the most useful especially in this context, although it is perhaps best considered to be experimental in nature. For that reason, i've kept 'hlcc4' as the default for both MAs.
Additionally included is an 'aux input' which is the standard TV source menu and, where possible, can be set as outputs of other indicators.
THE SYSTEM
This one is fairly obvious and straightforward. It's just a moving average crossover with additional deviation (bollinger) bands. Not a lot to explain here as it should be apparent how it works.
Of the two, MA1 is considered to be the fast and MA2 is considered to be the slow. Both can be set with independent inputs, types and weighting. When MA1 is above, the colour of both is green and when it's below the colour of both is red. An additional gradient based fill is there and can be adjusted along with everything else in the visuals section at the bottom. Default alerts are available for crossover/crossunder conditions along with optional marker plots.
MA2 has the option for deviation bands, these are calculated based upon the MA type used and volume weighted according to the main parameter. In the case of a unweighted SMA being used they will be standard Bollinger bands.
An additional 'source direct' price tracker is included which can be used as the basis for an alert system for price crossings of bands or MAs, while taking advantage of the available weighted inputs. This is displayed as a stepped line on the chart so is also a good way to visualise the differences between input types.
That just about covers it then. The likelihood is that you've used some sort of moving average cross system before and are probably still using one or more. If so, then perhaps the additional functionality here will be of benefit.
Thanks for looking, I welcome any feedack
Profitable Contrarian scalpingUses the 5 period and 10 period VMWAs that have been smoothed with a 5 period SMA of the close price. Normally, a short crossover long formation signals a buy signal, but as scalpers know, the 1 minute chart moves so fast and with so much volatility that lagging indicators get wrecked by the market. According, this strategy operates under the assumption that by the time this lagging indicator makes a signal, the price is ready to reverse. Losses are taken swiftly in the case of a continuation pattern. This indicator averages a 55-65% profitable rate and is almost always a positive P/L on the 1 minute chart of the most commonly traded assets.
Of course, there may be validity for this indicator outside the 1 minute chart, but I have found such success to be very limited. Accordingly, use this indicator on SPY, TQQQ, TSLA, AMZN, and major cryptos on the 1 min chart.
TriautoETF(TQQQ) Short Strategy B1○ Objective.
This is a strategy for the TQQQ NASDAQ:TQQQ short strategy in the TriAuto ETF .
It is used as a hedging short rather than for profit-making purposes.
Entry and close points are indicated.
○ Strategy
The strategy is to hold a short position when the price falls below the moving average line, which is a market-conscious line that is rarely broken.
The close (settlement) is determined by using the moving average.
The moving average is based on the market-conscious QQQ NASDAQ:QQQ .
This script is used on the daily chart of the TQQQ.
It works as a hedge for long positions because open interest is held even at the major bottoms of the China and Corona shocks.
The system is set up to quickly cut its losses even if the moving average is "tricked" into falling below the moving average.
