Anchored VWAP Indicator for ThinkorSwim

@SleepyZ, this is a GREAT study, THANK YOU! May I request one modification?

You've
input startdate = 20211015;
input starttime = 0930;

Can you please include logic for the following four inputs
input startDateSelection = {default Daily, Custom} ; # where "Daily" would anchor vwap for each day and if "Custom" is chosen, it would go with the date specified in startDate and anchor from that day on (like what you have now)
input startTimeSelection = {default RTH, PRE, Custom} ; # where - while keeping startDate/Selection in mind, "RTH" would start anchored vwap at start of cash trading time, "Pre" would start at 4 AM ET, and "Custom" would take starttime as the anchor time (like what you have now)
input showOnlyToday = yes; #Where "Yes" would show vwap for only today (in which case, it would supersede startDateSelection /startDate selection)
input colorVWAP = yes; #Where "Yes" would show vwap line as Red if prior close is below the vwap and default color if it's above vwap.

This should help

(Will check it out in a bit,. but) should the first 'or' condition in the else-if of the 'anchor' definition be checking for startimeselection.RTH (or .PRE)? Also, for pre (when custom isn't used), can the start be after the rollover (aka, today am pre-market ). For pre, I don't want to consider the time between yesterday's close and day rollover.

The first cond is RTH. The second has now been edited above to be PRE. Please use custom for any other time you want.

Thanks @SleepyZ !!

I'm test driving the updated version and seeing something strange. For tickers like SPY/AAPL, the PRE selection is working (5D 5m chart). However, for tickers like ROKU and BA, it's not plotting anything.

Try using the above code that I just edited changing for PRE, the gettime() above to gettime() below

That WORKED!! Thank you

Just one very minor thing.. sorry (do you use discord? Maybe that might be a better instead of seeing my many comments here.. haha)
Not sure if it's because "crosses" is used or [1], but) whenever PRE is selected, the plotting starts from the 2nd bar of whatever the aggregation chart is on. e.g. on /cl 1d 1m chart, the plotting starts from 18:01 PM EST instead of 18:00 PM EST. On AAPL 5D 5m, the PRE plotting starts from 04:05 AM EST instead of 04:00 AM EST.

For RTH, the plotting starts from the first bar. (y)

I hopefully fixed PRE and put the fix in the code above. The last secondsfromtime condition was conflicting with the PRE code, so I specified that to be only when Custom time was chosen.

I am not on discord.

Thanks for taking another look. Unfortunately, still seeing same behavior. But it's ok, not a big deal. Thanks again for all the updates.

Thanks for letting me know. I think the followiing starts properly at PRE time and seems to work properly otherwise. These lines fixed the plot for PRE as the Daily part of the code needed to start at 0, which excluded it to plot for PRE and was not a problem for RTH code.

Ruby:
    volumesum      = if if starttimeselection==starttimeselection.PRE then anchor[-1] else anchor  then volumesum[1] + volume else 0;
    volumevwapsum  = if if starttimeselection==starttimeselection.PRE then anchor[-1] else anchor  then volumevwapsum[1] + volume * vwap else 0;
    volumevwap2sum = if  if starttimeselection==starttimeselection.PRE then anchor[-1] else anchor  then volumevwap2sum[1] + volume * Sqr(vwap) else 0;

Thanks for letting me know. I think the followiing starts properly at PRE time and seems to work properly otherwise. These lines fixed the plot for PRE as the Daily part of the code needed to start at 0, which excluded it to plot for PRE and was not a problem for RTH code.



Here is the full code with this change included
This WORKED!! Appreciate the persistence.

One new thing I just noticed is that when Extended Hours setting for futures is turned off and I choose Dec 1st as custom date and RTH as time or 800 as custom time (for \CL 15D 5m chart), it doesn't plot. Strangely, when Pre is selected, it plots from Dec 1st 9AM EST onwards..
Seeing similar for $AAPL (when Daily is chosen, it doesn't plot anything either).
Seeing only the cloud (no lines) and bubbles for these tickers when extended hours is off, custom date of dec 1st and PRE is selected.

In all cases, getting the following error: "Trying to self-assign a non-initialized rec: anchor."

It is not going to work for the most part if you do any of the Daily settings of RTH or PRE with extended hours turned off as I have used gettime() crossing in relation to regular trading hours. If extended hours is turned off there is no crossing, so unreliable or no results. As this script has evolved beyond what the original intent that I scripted, I do not wish to revise this script any further as there is enough to work around most problems. Nonetheless, I am using this script and find it personally very useful.

Thanks for explaining the cause. And I understand, will use it with Extended Hours turned on. Thanks again for all the updates.
 
Here is a scan for stocks that crosses ABOVE the previous day's VWAP. Place this code in the scanner and run this on a daily aggregation. I just ran this on the S&P 100 (Daily) and obtained 46 results

Code:
# Scan for crosses above previous day's VWAP
# tomsk
# 1.21.2020

# Run on a daily aggregation

def cap = getAggregationPeriod();
def yyyyMmDd = getYyyyMmDd();
def periodIndx = yyyyMmDd;
def isPeriodRolled = compoundValue(1, periodIndx != periodIndx[1], yes);

def volumeSum;
def volumeVwapSum;
def volumeVwap2Sum;

if (isPeriodRolled) {
    volumeSum = volume;
    volumeVwapSum = volume * vwap;
    volumeVwap2Sum = volume * Sqr(vwap);
} else {
    volumeSum = compoundValue(1, volumeSum[1] + volume, volume);
    volumeVwapSum = compoundValue(1, volumeVwapSum[1] + volume * vwap, volume * vwap);
    volumeVwap2Sum = compoundValue(1, volumeVwap2Sum[1] + volume * Sqr(vwap), volume * Sqr(vwap));
}
def price = volumeVwapSum / volumeSum;
def VWAP = price;

plot scan = close crosses above VWAP[1];
# End Scan for crosses above previous day's VWAP
Hello Tomsk, To Scan for VWAP above 2 SD away is this the only line (plot scan = close crosses above VWAP[1]; ) that needs to be changed to:
plot scan = close crosses above VWAP[2]; or there are other areas of code that needs to be changed? Also to Scan for Crosses on the down side, is this what we need: plot scan = close crosses below VWAP[1]; ?

The script you are attempting to use is scanning for close crossing above VWAP[1] meaning close crossing above the previous VWAP candle. If you change it to VWAP[2], it would mean you are scanning for close crossing above the VWAP of 2 bars ago.

If that is what you are looking for then yep, go for it.

I am new I am sorry if I am posting it in wrong space. I need help with this intraday AWAP code, please help with I need three mods :
1. AnchorTime should automaticaly be HOD candle of 5 min.
2. Anchordate by default to be today's date.
3. If possible to draw two awap lines one anchored to HOD and the other LOD , right now I am running too study same code but with differnt color line and keep changing the anchortime and date.
Thankyou in advance.

input anchorDate = 20220103;

plot anchoredVWAP = TotalSum(if postAnchorDate and postAnchorTime then ((high + low + close) / 3) * (volume) else 0) / TotalSum(if postAnchorDate and postAnchorTime then volume else 0);

anchoredVWAP.SetStyle(Curve.FIRM);
anchoredVWAP.SetLineWeight(3);
anchoredVWAP.SetDefaultColor(Color.CYAN);
