Effort-Anchored VWAP
Overview
This script automates point-of-origin selection for VWAP based on volume spikes.
By calculating the standard deviation of volume over a lookback period, the script identifies "effort bars". When a volume spike occurs above a threshold, VWAP automatically resets its anchor to that specific bar.
Concepts
Usage
Price reaching VWAP bands can be interpreted as a potential buying or selling opportunity, as it suggests the price has pulled back significantly from the VWAP pivot line.
In consolidation phases, can be used to identify range boundaries.
