VWAP Balance Zones - SessionsVWAP Balance Zones Sessions Version is an alternate take on the Original VWAP Balance Zones indicator. The Sessions version allows users to select a specific session to view the VWAP Balance Zones at while still utilizing the full ETH Data.
The Session version provides a better focused display while still maintaining the core functions of the original script with mindful optimizations.
Author's Note: "VBZ Sessions was made with logistics in mind, for the users who only trade within certain times of the day. While it displays the same core concepts, it is not as "Raw" of a display as the Original. For this reason, some users may prefer the Original VWAP Balance Zones, which is why I have opted to release this alternate version instead of updating the original."
> What are VWAP Balance Zones?
"VWAP Balance Zones" is an original concept aimed at identifying the equilibrium area between market participants within the current trend by averaging the Daily Extremes and the Daily VWAP.
Refer to the illustration below for a better understanding of exactly how VWAP Balance Zones are formed:
These zones are displayed for the Daily, Weekly, and Monthly VWAPs, with the most interactive timeframe being the Daily.
> Features
1. The Session Version uses ETH data at all times, and does not solely rely on the chart's data to create the VWAPs or Zones.
This allows the user to focus on a specific trading session, while not losing out on the full VBZ Calculation, with the notable benefit of a cleaner display.
The Original VBZ starts drawing at the beginning of the chart's "Day", and would produce different results when using an RTH chart vs an ETH chart. Along with creating a bird's nest of unusable data at the beginning of the day.
2. Session Start and End lines are displayed for easier identification of the designated trading session.
3. The extreme "Close" Lines are no longer displayed to reduce noise and redundancy.
4. Additionally, the interior VWAP lines are no longer displayed. Ultimately, this was to reduce noise and focus the script on the 50% zones.
5. Weekly and Monthly Zones are now displayed due to the reduced noise!
6. As with the original, the weekly display will yield to the daily, and the monthly display will yield to the weekly.
In the screenshot below, you can observe this behavior.

VWAP Balance ZonesVWAP Balance Zones (VBZ) Is based on 3 concepts.
Many Traders use VWAP to help determine Price Trends.
Trends are typically identified by new Highs or new Lows.
Balanced is found when Supply and Demand are mostly Equal.
VBZ tracks the daily, weekly, and monthly highs and lows; Then plots the average (50%) between the VWAP and the respective extremes.
50% VWAP Zones can be considered significant since they attempt to identify the equilibrium between market participants within the current trend, serving as key reference points to consider for decision making. >While in an uptrend, Buyers may see price falling to the Hi 50% as an attractive value entry for the continuation upwards.
>While ALSO in an uptrend, Sellers may see price falling to the Hi 50% as a change in sentiment with more downwards movement on the way.
Because of these conflicting mindsets, these zones are thought to display areas of balance between buyers and sellers, which can serve as potential decision points throughout the day.
VBZ Draws Zones from the Daily (High/Low/Close) VWAPs and the Day's (High/Low/Close) extremes as seen below.
Technically speaking, an average between vwap and extreme is a single point, to make these into zones I am using multiple sources for vwap and tracking different points of the bar throughout the day (ex. Close VWAP & Daily Highest Close)
Weekly and Monthly are only displaying the Average Price between the VWAP and the (Weekly or Monthly) High/Low.
These hold up as important levels for speculation; however, since most action will be discovered at the daily zones, I am not displaying the zones for the Weekly and Monthly to keep noise to a minimum.
Unique Behaviors:
- Weekly values are hidden on the first day of the week since they are similar to the daily values on the first day of the week.
- Monthly values are hidden in the first week of the month for the same reason.
HTF Tool 2HTF Tool 2: Because the previous version was removed for being too powerful.
HTF Tool allows Users to display Higher Timeframe(HTF) Candles on their Chart with retracement lines drawn from the (High/Low) range of the HTF candle, as well as a live HTF MA.
This indicator perfectly handles Requested data to display a non-lagging HTF Moving Average(MA) by bridging a solid historical data stream with the live data stream.
This is done by offsetting plot data backwards to the middle of the last HTF candle, and then drawing a line from the last candle middle, to the live candle middle.
I have manipulated the data display to give the appearance that it consists of only 1 plot line, Whereas in reality, The HTF MA consists of 3 different processes:
- 1 historical plot value, to display the (correct) historical EMA with the same plot points you would see on the HTF chart from the same ema.
- 1 live line, re-drawn at every tick to mimic the way plot values move around while the bar is live.
- 1 live plot value, that is only displayed as a number on the status line and price scale to make it look like these are the outputs from the constantly redrawing line.
Because of this, This indicator displays the exact same way you would see this data on the requested timeframe's chart .
Note: You will see 2 values on the status line, these are the Historic MA, and Live MA values (Left, Right).
When hovering over historic values, a Historic MA value will only display in the middle of the HTF bars (same bar as the HTF wick)
This indicator include:
- HTF Candles, Drawn in the Traditional Candlestick Fashion.
- A User Adjustable HTF EMA / SMA , This Moving Average is accurate the the display you would see on a HTF chart.
- User Adjustable Retracement lines, up to 3 levels. These levels dynamically delete when price crosses them.
- Adjustable Display Range to display more or less HTF candles.
- Toggleable "Safe Mode" to keep the indicator display looking clean at all times.*
All Colors are Customizable to fit your layout style (Candle, Levels, HTF MA)
*Safe mode checks that your current chart's timeframe cleanly multiplies into your requested timeframe an odd number of times. This keeps the HTF candle wicks perfectly centered, and keeps the candle body width perfectly consistent.
If you choose to turn safe mode off here are some things to consider:
All Vertical data is consistent with the HTF requested , ONLY the horizontal alignment of the indicator will be thrown off.
When on low timeframes requesting other relatively low timeframes these issues are extremely more apparent than when requesting substantially larger timeframes.
Example: Safe Mode will likely need to be turned off for any 4h chart request, but as seen in the following image, the bars still look very normal.
Note: If you ONLY want to see the Levels and Moving Average... You ARE capable of requesting the current chart's timeframe. If you do this, the indicator will stop drawing the HTF candles, since your chart already shows that timeframe's candles.
Enjoy!
