VWAP+15EMA with RSI
Apr 15, 2023

The VWAP+15EMA with RSI tool is a trend-following strategy designed to identify high-momentum long entries by confirming price action across volume-weighted averages, exponential moving averages, and relative strength. It aims to filter out choppy markets by requiring multiple technical conditions to align before initiating a position.
Usage
The strategy triggers a long entry when the following conditions are met simultaneously:
- The closing price is above the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP).
- The closing price is above the 15-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
- The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is above a user-defined threshold (defaulted to 45).
Position management is handled through three primary mechanisms:
- Stop Loss: A fixed percentage based on the average entry price to protect capital.
- Take Profit: A fixed percentage target for exiting winning trades.
- Trailing Stop: An automated exit that follows the price to lock in gains as the trade moves favorably.
Details
The script integrates three classic indicators to provide a comprehensive view of market structure:
- VWAP: Acts as a benchmark for the "fair" price of the session, adjusted for volume. The script includes customizable anchors (Session, Week, Month, etc.) and standard deviation bands.
- 15 EMA: Provides a short-term trend filter, ensuring that entries occur during active upward momentum.
- RSI: Used here as a momentum filter rather than an oscillator. By requiring the RSI to be above a specific level, the strategy ensures the price has sufficient strength to sustain a move.
