QTY@RISK VWAP based calculation VWAP Volatility-Based Risk Management Calculator for Intraday Trading Overview This script is an innovative tool designed to help traders manage risk effectively by calculating position sizes and stop-loss levels using the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) and its standard deviation (StdDev). Unlike traditional methods that rely on time-based calculations, this approach is time-independent within the intraday timeframe, making it particularly useful for traders seeking precision and efficiency. Key Concepts VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price): VWAP is a trading benchmark that represents the average price a security has traded at throughout the day, based on both volume and price. It provides insight into the average price level over a specific period, helping traders understand the market trend. StdDev (Standard Deviation): In the context of VWAP, the standard deviation measures the volatility around the VWAP. It provides a quantifiable range that traders can use to set stop-loss levels, ensuring they are neither too tight nor too loose. How the Script Works 1. VWAP Calculation: The script calculates the VWAP continuously as the market trades, integrating both price and volume data. 2. Volatility Measurement: It then computes the standard deviation of the VWAP, giving a measure of market volatility. 3. Stop-Loss Calculation: Using user-defined StdDev factors, the script calculates two stop-loss levels. These levels adjust dynamically based on market conditions, ensuring they remain relevant throughout the trading session. 4. Position Sizing: By incorporating your risk tolerance, the script determines the appropriate position size. This ensures that your maximum loss per trade does not exceed your predefined risk value. How to Use the Calculator 1. Select Two VWAP StdDev Factors: Choose two standard deviation factors for calculating stop-loss levels. For example, you might choose 0.5 and 0.75 to set conservative and aggressive stop-losses respectively. 2. Set Your Trading Account Size: Enter your total trading capital. For example, $50,000. 3. Maximum Lot Size: Define the maximum number of shares you are willing to trade in a single position. For instance, 200 shares. 4. Risk Value per Trade: Input the maximum amount of money you are willing to risk on a single trade. For instance, $50. 5. Plotting Options: If you wish to visualize the stop-loss levels, enable the plot option and choose the price base for the plot, such as the closing price or the average of the high and low prices (hl2). Example of Use 1. Initial Setup: After the market opens, wait for at least 15 minutes to ensure the VWAP has stabilized with sufficient volume data. 2. Parameter Configuration: Input your desired parameters into the calculator. For instance: - VWAP StdDev Factors: 0.5 and 0.75 - Trading Account Size: $50,000 - Maximum Lot Size: 200 shares - Risk Value per Trade: $50 - Plot Option: On, using "hl2" or "close" as the price base 3. Execution: Based on the inputs, the script calculates the position size and stop-loss levels. If the calculated stop-loss falls within the selected VWAP StdDev range, it will provide you with precise stop-loss prices. 4. Trading: Use the calculated position size and stop-loss levels to execute your trades confidently, knowing that your risk is managed effectively. Advantages for Traders - Time Independence: By relying on VWAP and its StdDev, the calculations are not dependent on specific time intervals, making them more adaptable to real-time trading conditions. - Focus on Strategy: Novice traders can focus more on their trading strategies rather than getting bogged down with complex calculations. - Dynamic Adjustments: The script adjusts stop-loss levels dynamically based on evolving market conditions, providing more accurate and relevant risk management. - Flexibility: Traders can tailor the calculator to their risk preferences and trading style by adjusting the StdDev factors and risk parameters. By incorporating these concepts and using this risk management calculator, traders can enhance their trading efficiency, improve their risk management, and ultimately make more informed trading decisions.

VWAP Band Trend This indicator combines two features: VWAP bands for range trading and trends for trend-following. The white bands offer support/resistance levels ideal for range trading: short when rejecting off the upper band, long when rejecting off the lower. Take profit either when hitting the (faint gray) midline and/or when hitting the band on the far side. The trend analysis shows green or red ranges above or below the bands to indicate trend strength - larger swaths of green or red indicates strong trend while shorter swathes indicate weak. If the upper trend color doesn't match the lower trend color, the trend is undecided or transitioning. Optionally, trend initiation indicators can be turned on to show above/below candles where a trend switch is taking place.

VWAP Suite █ OVERVIEW This indicator is an attempt to bring all VWAP functionalities under one umbrella suite, the existing VWAPs are great and this was made to provide all functionalities. (pending more updates as well) █ FEATURES Multiple VWAPs MTF Individual Band configuration Previous vwap closes Date tracking of previous closes MTF Options Enabling the other VWAPS with any timeframe will allow the user to use the "VWAP Anchor" setting to choose what HTF Vwap to be displayed "Prev Close" This setting enables all historical closes to be displayed with extension "Track Dates" Can be used to keep date information of 2 previous closes and further back █ HOW TO USE IT The indicator is quite straight forward in its application, as you would expect of a normal VWAP. At the top of the settings pane the indicator has some functionality that would control the VWAPs globally, e.g. disabling show bands disables all bands for all the VWAPs. Each VWAP has individual settings that can be controlled such as coloring, which bands enabled, previous closes, labelling... █ SUGGESTION My suggestion for clarity is to use 1 VWAP with bands, and a 2nd with no bands + Previous close enabled at a higher timeframe █ LIMITATIONS OF PINE (Please read) I see many users going on different indicators with MTF in mind and trying to use it for LTF data e.g. 1hour chart, and selecting 5min in chart settings. This is not recommended by the team themselves and should be noted for use always use HTF: www.tradingview.com To understand how to use VWAP please refer to some education that can be found for free online Heres an example of a trader using the tool himself: www.youtube.com █ Future Updates: Previous Close Line extensions Previous Highs and Lows of VWAP mapped out for users Suggestions Welcome!

Central Pivot Ranges (CPR) & 3 x VWAP & Barcolors This Script Combines daily, weekly and monthly VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) with a intraday, daily, weekly and monthly CPR (Central Pivot Range) - which is considered by some traders as the bread and butter of the market for a reason. A combination of Multiple CPRs and VWAPs from different timeframes can provide you with interesting confluences that can give you more confidence in performing your trades. CPR Features: - The option to look at current or developing CPRs. - A resolution selector for all 4 CPRs - Options to hide and show Tops, Bottoms and Pivots separately - Various Styling options - Alerts VWAP Features: - 3 x preset VWAPs set to daily, weekly and monthly - VWAP Lines from the daily O&C or H&L - Previous VWAP for S/R - Line Styling options General Features: - Barcolors by pivots crossed or daily, weekly and monthly VWAP. - Barcolors by daily VWAP additionally contain an O and C check instead of just taking the price above or below the VWAP into consideration.
