Swing VWAP Crypto and Stocks Strategy

The Swing VWAP Crypto and Stocks Strategy tool is a systematic trading framework designed to capture swing moves in volatile markets by combining Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) crossovers with specific time-based management.

Usage

The strategy is primarily designed for swing trading on daily or intraday timeframes for assets like cryptocurrencies and stocks. It follows a specific weekly cycle for market participation:

• Entry: A long position is initiated only on Mondays if the current candle's closing price crosses above the VWAP line while the previous candle closed below it.
• Exit: The strategy employs three exit mechanisms:
  1. Take Profit: A fixed percentage target above the entry price.
  2. Stop Loss: A fixed percentage protective level below the entry price.
  3. Time-Based Exit: If neither the profit target nor the stop loss is hit during the week, the strategy automatically closes all open positions on Sunday.

Details

The strategy leverages the VWAP as a benchmark for fair value. By requiring a crossover specifically on a Monday, it attempts to capitalize on weekly opening momentum. The integration of risk management through fixed percentages ensures that downside is protected, while the Sunday exit ensures that the strategy does not carry exposure into the start of the new weekly trading cycle without meeting the entry criteria again.

Settings

Fixed Risk Management

• LONG Stop Loss %: Sets the percentage distance from the entry price at which a protective stop loss order is placed.
• LONG Take Profit %: Sets the percentage distance from the entry price at which a limit order is placed to capture profits.
