Anchored VWAP Indicator for ThinkorSwim

[bullishbear420]

Anchored VWAP indicator can useful for intraday trading. It can also be used on any timeframe including hourly, daily, and weekly. VWAP can be a great tool for analyzing the market, especially for day traders.

Here we have different Anchored VWAP indicators for ThinkorSwim. Feel free to test them out and use any that fits your trading style.

Hi BenTen sorry to bug ya but could you create a scan for VWAP ANCHORED _V02 where it'll scan for wherever it plots the arrows at? I think its pretty useful on a lot of stocks but a lot of the time I'd miss the move.

 

[majidg]

@thinky Most likely because these indicators require more than just a single day of data.

can someone help to scan for the up and dn arrows?

Hi, can this be done to plot a daily anchored VWAP starting at 6PM the night before, each day?

My aim is to be able to begin the anchored VWAP at the 6PM Globex session start, and have it continue until 4 PM close the next day.

i.e. 07/01/2022 at 6PM until 07/02/2022 at 4 PM, and reset each day.

Thank you in advance for your help/guidance.

Anchored VWAP indicator can useful for intraday trading. It can also be used on any timeframe including hourly, daily, and weekly. VWAP can be a great tool for analyzing the market, especially for day traders.

Here we have different Anchored VWAP indicators for ThinkorSwim. Feel free to test them out and use any that fits your trading style.

I am using this Study, from original post, on 300 Tick Chart of /ES. Based on this study every 20 bars new VWAP should be drawn. This does not happen, and VWAP is just a continues line. The only way to update is to open "Edit Studies" "the Flask" & click on Apply, then new lines are drawn. Any one has any idea how to correct this? Below i put the STUDY & pictures of chart.

I am using this Study, from original post, on 300 Tick Chart of /ES. Based on this study every 20 bars new VWAP should be drawn. This does not happen, and VWAP is just a continues line. The only way to update is to open "Edit Studies" "the Flask" & click on Apply, then new lines are drawn. Any one has any idea how to correct this? Below i put the STUDY & pictures of chart.

Try this fix I made to the above script https://usethinkscript.com/threads/anchored-vwap-indicator-for-thinkorswim.171/post-102127

 

[blueberryjones]

These, input openingTime = 1800; and input closingTime = 1600; control the plotting of the VWAP

Thank you so much for this, this is perfect. 🙌🙏

It works with no need to refresh the chart. Thank You.

Is there a study out there that will post an arrow every time the price crosses above or below one of the VWAP bands, for example when price crosses above the upper band at 1 standard deviation, if so is there a watchlist column as well, thanks

Here areup/dn arrows

plot vwapupper = reference VWAP().UpperBand;
vwapupper.SetDefaultColor(Color.CYAN);
plot uparrow   = close crosses above vwapupper;
uparrow.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_UP);
uparrow.SetDefaultColor(Color.CYAN);

plot vwaplower = reference VWAP().LowerBand;
vwaplower.SetDefaultColor(Color.MAGENTA);
plot dnarrow   = close crosses below vwaplower;
dnarrow.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_DOWN);
dnarrow.SetDefaultColor(Color.MAGENTA);

Here is a watchlist

def vwapupper = reference VWAP().UpperBand;
def vwaplower = reference VWAP().LowerBand;

def uparrow   = close crosses above vwapupper;
def dnarrow   = close crosses below vwaplower;

addlabel(1, " ", color.black);
assignbackgroundColor(if uparrow then color.cyan
else if dnarrow then color.magenta
else color.black);

 

[K_O_Trader]

@SleepyZ Any way to make this so the arrows show up at the 1 standard deviation instead of the 2?

Sure

Here is study

input num_dev = 1;

plot vwapupper = reference VWAP("num dev dn" = -num_dev, "num dev up" = num_dev).UpperBand;
vwapupper.SetDefaultColor(Color.CYAN);
plot uparrow   = close crosses above vwapupper;
uparrow.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_UP);

vwaplower.SetDefaultColor(Color.MAGENTA);
plot dnarrow   = close crosses below vwaplower;
dnarrow.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_DOWN);
dnarrow.SetDefaultColor(Color.MAGENTA);

Here is watchlist

input num_dev = 1

def vwapupper = reference VWAP("num dev dn" = -num_dev, "num dev up" = num_dev).UpperBand;
def vwaplower = reference VWAP("num dev dn" = -num_dev, "num dev up" = num_dev).LowerBand;

Hi everybody.

Just to clarify, this anchored vwap (atleast the first version at the top) can't be used like TC2000 where the anchoring is done in individual stocks? In this TOS version, once the date/time is adjusted, the whole thing is applied to every stock right?

Any workaround it?

Tnx!

Without a greater understanding of what the TC2000 version is doing exactly and the logic being used, it is not possible to provide an answer,
Your understanding of the ToS version is correct,

Thanks @MerryDay

TC2000 (and also Tradingview) basically allows dropping of user selected points (even multiple of them) easily and conveniently without having to go in settings to adjust the date. And it's unique for each symbol and doesn't carry over. Our TOS version works but is a bit clunky (but it's free).

Source of data and logic should be the same. It just that most likely is the scripting limitation of TOS. Tradingview has anchored vwap going well and has a similar scripting base as TOS but I guess Pinescript is a little bit more advanced and developed.

Thanks again.

I want to add something to this thread not code but a logical thread expressed in simple English. I have enough AI code to last me a lifetime of trading so I will communicate as follows Purpose of VWAP is to be on the right side of volume weighted average price no matter if long or short (reasons: keeps you on the side of the accumulation or distribution-whatever is most dominant price discovery in the time in which you are setting the VWAP). Second, you have a VWAP on TOS and on this Thread repeated in one form or another many times , that you can split into standard deviations of any length and width and duration (# of deviations down and up for a day, a week or even a month). ---Properly set up to desired specifications it should allow the individual chartist to accomplish the purpose desired by an active trader discretionary like myself - not, let me repeat, Not!, to build a black box but to build an indivualized guidance indicator to enable me to remain on the dominant side of the trade. It is already on the thread, so I will not clutter the thread with more Code: My personal philosophy has always been consistent, I am looking for an interactive real-time experience. not an abstrated MetaVerse of a cluttered Chart full of electronic signals that are jumble of noise/symbols. I suggest if the chartist keeps the monitor clean of clutter and concentrates one one best indicator on the Price Channel with one indicator for Price and and another best one indiicator for Volume, he will see price discovery unfold before his eyes: Price and volume order flow in real time. That is a Signal Price and Volume over time, not a predictor. There is no perfect predictor in my experience. You can try all kinds of Linear or non-linear signals but I tell you they are guesses not Price Discovery. Best to all. Excuse my caveman use of words to communicate in a computerized world. Best to all

Completely agree with you.....................most of the times, I keep my chart very clean after experiencing with lot many indicators having had on my chart...first i completely depend a lot on price action , support/resis levels to get a clean picture before adding/removing 2-3 other indicators for confirmation.
\I just follow these....as needed..RSI, ORB, ichimoku, MA, VWAP

 

[spartan.ts]

sure, code below:


def anchorDate = highestall(GetValue(GetYYYYMMDD(), GetMinValueOffset(low, 145)));

def todayDate = GetYYYYMMDD();

def postAnchorDate = if todayDate >= anchorDate then 1 else 0;

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

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

Hello, I'm trying to get deviation bands on this specific code. I tried using code from other samples but was unsuccessful. Any assistance would be great. thanks

Thanks @MerryDay . Not quite what i was looking for. The deviations are to a moving average rather than the avwap which is what i'm looking for.

I presumed since we are referring to vwap, when mentioning deviation bands, it would be similar to regular vwap. the request is for assistance is to identify the Deviation formula for the anchored vwap in application of this script. example similar to this. thanks for the assistance and reply.
