OPEN-SOURCE SCRIPT
NY Session VWAP with Band & Signals
Overview
This Pine Script indicator is a comprehensive trading tool designed for the New York trading session, combining Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) with statistical bands and multi-condition signal generation. It's optimized for traders who want to identify high-probability entry points during the NY session with strict validation filters.
Key Features
🕐 Session Management
NY Session Focus: Automatically detects and highlights the main NY trading session (9:30 AM - 4:00 PM ET)
Delayed Start Option: Configurable delay after NY open (default 15 minutes) to avoid early session noise
Visual Session Tracking: Different background colors for active NY session and pre-trading window periods
📊 VWAP & Statistical Bands
Dynamic VWAP Calculation: Resets daily at NY session open
Standard Deviation Bands: User-adjustable band width (default 1.0 standard deviations)
Real-time Updates: Continuous calculation throughout the session
🎯 Signal Generation - Multi-Layer Validation
The script generates BUY signals only when ALL conditions are met simultaneously:
Proximity to VWAP (Proximity (pts)): Price must be within X points of VWAP
Band Break: Price must close outside the upper or lower VWAP band
Direction Match: Bullish close must correspond with upper band break; Bearish close with lower band break
Close Percentage Filter:
Bullish signals: Close must be in the upper X% of the candle's range (default 75%)
Bearish signals: Close must be in the lower X% of the candle's range
Opposite Band Validation:
Bullish signals are invalidated if the candle touches the lower band
Bearish signals are invalidated if the candle touches the upper band
📈 Visual Feedback
Candle Coloring: Highlighted candles when signals trigger
Signal Markers: Clear triangle markers above candles
Debug Indicators:
Yellow markers for "filter met but no direction match"
Red markers for invalid signals (opposite band touch)
VWAP & Bands: Visual plotting with fill between bands

Best Practices

The "Opposite Band" validation helps avoid false breakouts
