Pre-Cash Positioning VWAP
This indicator anchors VWAP at statistically significant Globex time windows that frequently precede meaningful directional movement in the NY U.S. futures markets.
The anchors begin at:
• 19:00 ET (Globex — true liquidity start)
• 02:30 ET
• 04:30 ET
• 08:15 ET
While Globex officially opens at 18:00 ET, liquidity participation and meaningful positioning activity often build more consistently beginning around 19:00 ET. This framework focuses on that transition into sustained overnight flow.
By tracking volume-weighted value from each of these reference points, the indicator provides a structured view of overnight positioning and evolving fair value as the market approaches and moves through the New York cash session.
Rather than relying on a single session VWAP, the collective structure of these anchored VWAPs reveals:
• Where inventory was accumulated
• Where value migrated overnight
• Whether price is extended or balanced into the cash open
• How positioning aligns (or conflicts) with NY session flow
