Indicator Release Notes I am excited to introduce a powerful multi-timeframe Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) indicator. This tool helps traders analyze market trends and identify key support and resistance levels across various timeframes. Below are the main features and usage guidelines for this indicator:
Key Features Open Price for Each Timeframe The "Open" option represents the opening price for each specific timeframe, such as daily, weekly, monthly, etc.
Previous vs. Current Levels Levels prefixed with 'P' (e.g., pwval) are calculated for the previous period, while those without 'P' (e.g., wval) represent the current period. For instance, pwval is the VWAP-calculated Value Area Low (VAL) for the previous week, whereas wval applies to the current week.
VWAP Calculation Standards VWAP can be calculated using a standard deviation (S) or a percentage (P). The "Multiplier" indicates how many standard deviations are applied, with a default setting of S (standard deviation) and a multiplier of 1.
Data Source Default The default data source for calculations is hlc3, which is the average of high, low, and close prices. This can be adjusted if needed.
Merge Function The Merge option visually groups data that is closely aligned within a specified range, allowing for a clearer representation of critical price levels.
Viewing Recommendations When analyzing higher dimensions, it is recommended to enable Quarter (Q) and Year (Y) settings to identify important price levels near the current price. For detailed attention, you can disable levels that are significantly distant from the current price.
Data Limitations Free TradingView accounts can pull data from up to 20,000 candles. This means the indicator is most accurate and comprehensive on 1-hour and 4-hour timeframes, given these data constraints.
Usage Guidelines Trend Analysis: Utilize VWAP and bands across different timeframes to identify market trend continuations or reversals. Support and Resistance Identification: Use the calculated upper and lower bands as potential support or resistance levels to optimize entry and exit points in your trading. Combined Application: It is recommended to use this indicator alongside other technical analysis tools to improve the accuracy of your analysis and the reliability of your trading decisions. I believe this versatile and highly customizable VWAP indicator will become an essential part of your trading toolkit, helping you to better understand market dynamics and make more precise trading decisions.
