WHAT IT DOES

Core Features

14 VWAP timeframes plus a trend direction output, trend table, trend coloring, and full customization across every line, label, and color.

14-Timeframe VWAP

The indicator plots VWAPs for 14 timeframes: 15 min, 30 min, 1H, 2H, 4H, 6H, 8H, 12H, daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly (3M), semi-annual (6M) and yearly. Each VWAP resets at the start of its corresponding time period. Use lower timeframes for short-term trend control areas and higher timeframes for long-term trend control areas. Each VWAP can be individually toggled on or off.

How VWAP Works

Each VWAP takes the volume-weighted average of price (default source: HLC3 is the average of high, low and close) for every bar since the start of its reset period. Higher-volume bars pull the VWAP closer to current price, indicating heavy institutional activity at those levels. These VWAP lines act as dynamic support and resistance. Trade long when price is above the VWAPs and short when below.

External Trend Direction Output

The indicator outputs a value of 1 (bullish) when price is above all enabled VWAPs, -1 (bearish) when below all enabled VWAPs, and 0 (neutral) when price is between them. This value is labeled “VWAP Multi-Timeframe: Trend Direction To Send To External Indicators” in the data window. Use it to filter other signal-generating indicators so they only give signals in the direction of the VWAP trend.

Trend Table

A display table shows whether price is currently above or below each of the major VWAPs (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly). The table position, background color and text colors are all customizable.

Trend Coloring

Each VWAP can display trend coloring between the VWAP line and the candle close price. It will show green when price is above the VWAP, red when below. This gives you an instant visual read on your trend position relative to each timeframe’s VWAP.

INTERPRETATION GUIDE

How to Trade With Multi-Timeframe VWAP

Reading the Levels

Intraday Scalping With VWAPs

When price is above the daily VWAP but below the intraday VWAPs (like the 4H), you can take small scalp trades within the range the VWAPs create. The daily VWAP tells you the overall trend direction while the intraday VWAPs give you tighter support and resistance to trade between.

Using the Trend Filter

Connect the trend direction output to your signal-generating indicators. When the VWAP trend is bullish (output = 1), your signal indicator only fires buy signals. When bearish (output = -1), only sell signals. This prevents signals that go against the VWAP trend and improves your win rate.

CONFIGURATION

Settings Overview

The indicator is extensively customizable. Here are the key settings.

Main Settings

Setting Default Description
Source HLC3 The price source used for all VWAP calculations. HLC3 = (High + Low + Close) / 3.
VWAPs On/Off (14) Varies Toggle each of the 14 VWAP timeframes individually. Only enabled VWAPs affect the trend direction output.
Labels On/Off On Toggle labels per VWAP or all at once. Adjustable offset and text color.

Trend Table On Toggle the trend direction display table. Position, background and text colors all customizable.

GOOD TO KNOW

Important Notes & Limitations

Requires volume and price data. Tickers without volume will not produce accurate VWAP calculations.
The trend direction output only considers VWAPs that are currently turned on. Toggling VWAPs on or off changes the output value.
Using the external trend filtering feature requires programming your other indicators to read the trend direction value. See the signal filtering guide for instructions.
