The TrendWave VWAP Indicator with ATR-Based Signals is a robust TradingView tool for traders who prioritize precision and adaptability. This indicator combines the Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) with the Average True Range (ATR) to provide actionable entry and exit signals while dynamically filtering out sideways market conditions. Designed with flexibility in mind, the indicator offers extensive customization options to tailor signals and filtering to individual trading styles.
Key Features and Customizable Settings
VWAP Integration
VWAP offers a volume-weighted benchmark, ideal for tracking price trends in relation to average trading levels. Customization: Traders can enable or disable VWAP functionality via a toggle, allowing easy adjustments based on market conditions or strategy preferences.
ATR-Based Signal Levels
ATR provides volatility-based levels for precise entry and exit points by measuring average price range. Customization: Traders can set the ATR length (default: 14) and the multiplier (default: 1.5) for adjusting sensitivity. A sideways threshold can be set to control the ATR value at which the indicator pauses signals, helping to avoid low-volatility markets.
Signal Cooldown
To reduce noise in choppy conditions, a signal cooldown enforces a minimum number of bars between signals. Customization: The cooldown period (default: 10 bars) can be adjusted to match preferred trading frequency and discipline requirements.
Signal Logic
Long Entry: Activated when price crosses above the VWAP in a trending market. Cooldown applies to avoid consecutive signals.
Long Exit: Triggered when price crosses below the VWAP.
Short Entry: Initiated when price crosses below the VWAP, in non-sideways conditions.
Short Exit: Occurs when price crosses back above the VWAP following a short position.
Visual Indicators
The VWAP is displayed as a line on the chart for easy trend reference. Entry and exit signals are clearly marked with color-coded shapes, enhancing readability without clutter.
Practical Application
The TrendWave VWAP Indicator with ATR-Based Signals provides tailored entries and exits for trending markets.
