Anchored VWAP

(explained & use cases)

a thread 🧵 Image
in this thread, I will cover the following:

- settings I use for anchored vwap
- where I pull it from
- trading from the anchored vwap pulls

bonus advanced example at the end using anchoring, context and execution in a real scenario.
settings

make sure source is on - open Image
timeframes

any time frame

my personal favourites:

- 5m (only if I am scalping)
- 15m
- 1h
- 4h
- daily
where to anchor

I use this in a similar fashion to how I would pull a fixed range / volume profile tool.

- at the beginning of ranges Image
where to anchor (2)

- pivot highs/lows

similar again to how I use fixed range tool (TV)

note:

- if taking from pivot high, I use the first red candle
- if taking from pivot low, I use the first green candle

this is due to using the "open" source setting Image
use cases

signs of strength/weakness:

- mainly used when pulling from pivot (or intra day) highs/lows

example:

- if price is uptrending and loses anchored vwap (anchored to low)

there is greatly increased likelihood of price revisiting the swing low it has been anchored from Image
use cases (2)

range median:

- mainly used when pulling from beginning of a range (as shown above)

I use it similar to how I would a POC of a range, as a POI to take trades off, should it come into confluence with other levels

note - not my favourite use case of tool Image
notes

pivot high/low pulls can be used when within a range also.

- this is a common use case I like to use:

rotating from VAH to VAL with the anchored vwap anchored to the pivot high where we started to rotate from.
execution

the anchored vwap tool simply is able to give me a heads up as to when a potential trend will end/sign of weakness.

it also can be a POI as when you pull back in a ongoing trend to look for s/r at that anchored vwap

to execute I suggest reading this 👇
advanced example

this diagram should explain it all:

this is a super nice trade I took a while back using this exact reasoning, which not only uses anchored vwap, but brings into play order flow and where the majority are sided.

hope you found value thank you for reading.

footprint charts (a complete guide)

a thread 🧵 Image
footprint vs regular charts:

footprint charts are a cleaner visual of the time & sales data.

it places buy/sell info on a per cluster basis, inside the candle.

doing this allows for easier identification of high volume/delta zones, absorption & trapped traders. Image
tick sizes:

inside the footprint, the cluster is divided into price blocks. Changing the tick size changes the granularity of these price blocks within each cluster.

larger tick size for increased volatility, lower the tick size when less volatile. Image

market sessions: a complete guide

a thread 🧵 Image
Asia (00-06)

I tend to treat it as a mini "monday range" but for intra-day purposes.

It's initial break of range can be a good indication as for the rest of days direction, similar to monday range.

Break one side of the range and it protects the other side of it.

example ↓ Image
London (06-12)

my favourite session to gain a bias off.

1 - london puts in the daily high/low
2 - price moves against it (running stops)
3 - buy where people exit the market
4 - target london pivot being taken out

example ↓ Image

naked point of control (nPOC)

a thread 🧵 Image
what are npocs:

point of control - where the most volume has occurred within a given volume profile.

naked poc - means it is yet to be revisited and left untapped.

npocs are most commonly "left untapped" due to trending moves pushing away from an area of value. Image
time-based npocs:

npocs are most commonly used across daily, weekly, and monthly timeframes, mostly used for medium/high timeframe reactions.

I recommend for lower time frames marking 15m/30m npocs, when used in confluence, can act as good intra-day levels for mean reversion setups.

monday range: a complete guide

a thread 🧵 Image
what is monday range?

using the high/low of monday as a anchor to form a bias for the remainder of the week.

marking this out from tuesday morning is the most common practice and what I would recommend.

- sweeps
- clean breaks

both used to form bias from tuesday onwards. Image
sweeps:

sweeps above/below monday range can be an early sign of mean reversion to the opposite side of monday range.

identifying new longs being caught offside above/below can be an early indication of this.

check:

- open interest (increasing)
- delta increasing (if above)
- delta decreasing (if below)

if price sees acceptance back into monday range, traders are offside and push price back to the opposite side of mondays range.

vwap: a complete guide

a thread 🧵 Image
what is vwap:

(volume weighted average price)

most commonly calculated through averaging the high, low & close.

helps determine who is in control, buyers or sellers.

price above vwap = buyers in control
price below vwap = sellers in control

vwap = fair value

example ↓ Image
time-based vwap:

the most common vwap is time-based resetting at the daily open of each day.

I find time-based vwaps to be most useful after some time has been spent away from the vwap before reverting back towards it for a reaction.

note - weekly/monthly vwaps can also be used in the exact same manner just through higher timeframes.

open interest (simplified):

a thread 🧵 Image
open interest vs price:

price ↑ with positive OI: New longs pushing price up
price ↑ with negative OI: Shorts getting squeezed

price ↓ with positive OI: New shorts pushing price up
price ↓ with negative OI: Longs getting squeezed

when new positions, whether long or short, drive price, they add the dynamic that if pushed offside, price can squeeze in the opposite direction.

example - new shorts pushing price ↓Image
early positions:

positions opening too early, can be a good reason for trend continuation, hence I will not fade a move prematurely if oi rises too quickly.

when new positions open too eagerly it creates new stops either above or below the continuation pivot.

example ↓ Image
