EmperorBTC's VWAP Strategy
Jun 10, 2021

The EmperorBTC's VWAP Strategy indicator is a comprehensive trading tool designed to identify momentum-based entries by combining Pivot Points, Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP), and Stochastic RSI. It aims to filter for high-probability setups by ensuring multiple trend and momentum confluence factors align across recent price action.
Usage
The strategy is optimized for intraday timeframes such as the 5-minute, 15-minute, and 30-minute charts. It identifies trade opportunities based on three specific conditions:
- Pivot Point Interaction: The script checks if price has crossed a specific Pivot Point level (Support, Resistance, or the main Pivot Point).
- VWAP & Momentum Confluence: It verifies if a Stochastic RSI cross and a VWAP cross occurred within the current or previous candle.
- Trend Confirmation: The indicator requires the candle close to be in the direction of the trend to confirm the entry.
Users can toggle the visibility of individual components, such as the VWAP line, Pivot Point circles, and specific cross signals, to clean up the chart or focus on specific alerts.
Details
The script calculates Pivot Points using either Fibonacci or Traditional methods based on daily data. The VWAP is calculated using a cumulative period that resets daily by default. The strategy logic requires a "triple confirmation":
- A cross of the Stochastic RSI (K over D for long, D over K for short).
- Price crossing the VWAP line.
- Price crossing a Pivot Point level.
When these conditions are met within a narrow lookback window (the current or previous bar), a long or short signal is generated.
