Adaptive CE-VWAP Breakout Framework [KedArc Quant]Description
A structured framework that unites three complementary systems into one charting engine:
Chandelier Exit (CE) – ATR-based trailing logic that defines trend direction, stop placement, and risk/reward overlays.
Swing-Anchored VWAP (SWAV) – a dynamically anchored VWAP that re-starts from each confirmed swing and adapts its smoothness to volatility.
Pivot S/R with Volume Breaks – confirmed horizontal levels with alerts when broken on expanding volume.
This script builds a single workflow for bias → trigger → managementwithout mixing unrelated indicators. Each module is internally linked rather than layered cosmetically, making it a true analytical framework—not.
Acknowledgment
Special thanks to Dynamic Swing Anchored VWAP by Zeiierman, whose swing-anchoring concept inspired a part of the SWAV module’s implementation and adaptation logic.
Support and Resistance Levels with Breaks by LuxAlgo for S/R breakout logic.
How this helps traders
Trend clarity – CE color-codes direction and provides evolving stops.
Context value – SWAV traces adaptive mean paths so traders see where price is heavy or light.
Action filter – Pivot+volume logic highlights true structural breaks, filtering false moves.
Discipline tool – Optional R:R boxes visualize risk and target zones to enforce planning.
Entry / Exit guidelines (for study purposes only)
Bias Use CE direction: green = long bias red = short bias
Entry
1. Breakout method– Trade in CE direction when a pivot level breaks on valid volume.
2. VWAP confirmation– Prefer breaks occurring around the nearest SWAV path (fair-value cross or re-test).
Exit
Stop = CE line / recent swing HL / ATR × (multiplier)
Target = R-multiple × risk (default 2 R)
Optional live update keeps SL/TP aligned with current CE state.
Core formula concepts
ATR Stop: Stop = High/Low – ATR × multiplier
VWAP calc: Σ(price × vol) / Σ(vol) anchored at swing pivot, adapted by APT (Adaptive Price Tracking) ratio ∝ ATR volatility.
Volume oscillator: 100 × (EMA₅ – EMA₁₀)/EMA₁₀; valid break when threshold %.

FAQ
Q: Does it repaint? A: No—pivots wait for confirmation and VWAP updates forward-only.
Q: Can modules be disabled? A: Yes—each section has its own toggle.
Q: Can it trade automatically? A: This is an indicator/study, not an auto-strategy.
Q: Is this financial advice? A: No—educational use only.
