ASFX A2 VWAP
Dec 14, 2023

The ASFX A2 VWAP toolkit is a powerful trading strategy tool, incorporating A2 signals with daily anchored VWAP bands, formulated by the esteemed trader and educator Austin Silver (ASFX). This toolkit not only provides pre-built alerts but expands on its foundational concepts to support traders in executing informed trading decisions across platforms like TradingView, MetaTrader (MT4/MT5), and NinjaTrader. By layering signals and data, the kit aims to improve trade accuracy and enhance market analysis, whether you aim to spot support and resistance levels or optimize stop-loss strategies.
How to Trade with the ASFX A2 VWAP Indicator?
The A2 strategy within this toolkit revolves around discerning potential trades through specific market signals confirmed by the 21 EMA (Exponential Moving Average). For instance, a bullish A2 signal is noted when the price closes below the 21 EMA with fewer than half of the candle's closing price above. This practical application can be visualized in the example below, where a bullish A2 signal is triggered under these conditions.
To further enhance trade setups, the toolkit's settings allow traders to enable stop-loss mechanisms following A2 signals, ensuring disciplined risk management practices.
Traders can also apply multiple layers of StDev multipliers on the AAVWAP to discern strategic areas of support and resistance. These layers work concurrently with the A2 signals and additional features that the toolkit offers, optimizing the trader’s market strategy.
Deep Dive into ASFX A2 VWAP Details
For an enhanced trading experience, enabling the 'Filter Based On VWAP' setting provides clarity on signal performance relative to VWAP positioning. Bullish signals appear only if situated above the anchored VWAP, whereas bearish signals display below it. This filtering capability helps traders to adhere to strategic market positions and is demonstrated in the accompanying visual, where unfiltered signals are shown transparently.
The Stop Loss parameter in this toolkit plays a critical role in risk management, being constructed from the latest A2 signal using the 1.618 Fibonacci retracement. Depending on the A2 signal type, stop-loss calculations vary:
- Bullish: Calculated from the candle low to the current daily high.
- Bearish: Calculated from the candle high to the current daily low.
