VWAP forex Yesterday Hi/Low update fix

The VWAP forex Yesterday Hi/Low update fix indicator is a comprehensive technical analysis tool designed to plot critical intraday levels, multi-timeframe moving averages, and bar patterns on 24-hour forex sessions. It specifically addresses session timing discrepancies across various data providers to ensure accurate level plotting for New York-based sessions.

Usage

This indicator can be used to identify key support and resistance levels derived from previous trading sessions. By plotting the previous day's Open, High, Low, and Close (OHLC) alongside the current Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP), traders can gauge current price action relative to historical value areas.

The tool also features multi-timeframe Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). Depending on the chart's current timeframe, the indicator dynamically displays relevant higher timeframe EMAs:

• 1-minute chart: Displays 5, 15, and 60-minute 20 EMAs.
• 5-minute chart: Displays 15 and 60-minute 20 EMAs.
• 15-minute chart: Displays 60, 120, and 240-minute 20 EMAs.
• 60-minute chart: Displays 120 and 240-minute 20 EMAs.
• Daily timeframe options: Displays daily 20 EMAs on the 120 and 240-minute charts.

Additionally, the script identifies "Inside Bars" and "Outside Bars." Inside bars are marked with a maroon triangle below the bar and a ">" above it. Subsequent bars that remain within the range of the initial mother bar are also highlighted, assisting in trend consolidation analysis.

Details

The script includes a specialized session handling logic to account for GMT offsets found in specific exchanges like FX_IDC, Coinbase, and Bitstamp. While standard FXCM data typically opens at 17:00 EST, some data providers report data tied to GMT+0, causing a 5-hour shift. This tool includes an automatic and manual "time shift adjust" feature to align the OHLC levels correctly with the New York session close, regardless of the exchange's native time zone reporting.

Settings

Session & Adjustments

• Automatically adjust session if using FX_IDC: Automatically applies a time shift when the script detects the FX_IDC prefix.
• Check if EST time applies to New York: A toggle to switch between Eastern Standard Time (EST) and Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) for session alignment.
• Manual 5/4 hour shift: Manual overrides for specific exchanges that may require a fixed GMT offset adjustment.

Display Options

• Show VWAP: Toggles the visibility of the intraday Volume Weighted Average Price.

• Show inside and outside bars: Toggles the visual markers for bar patterns.
• Line Width: Adjusts the thickness of the plotted OHLC and EMA lines.

FAQ

How do I use the time shift for my specific broker?

If you are using FX_IDC, ensure the "Automatically adjust session" is enabled. For other brokers like Coinbase or Bitstamp, the script handles the 00:00 GMT open automatically. If levels look misaligned, use the manual GMT4/5 toggles.

Why do some EMAs disappear when I change timeframes?

The script is optimized to only show higher timeframe EMAs that are relevant to your current view. For example, it will not clutter a 1-hour chart with 1-minute EMAs.
