Updated Smoothed VWAP Bands
🎯 Best Smoothing Setting for Scalping (What You Should Use)
Style σ Smoothing Result
Fast scalping (1min) EMA 14 Very responsive, still filters noise
Balanced intraday (1–5min) EMA 20 Best overall reliability
Slow confirmation (5–15min) EMA 30 Eliminates nearly all fakeouts
✅ What We Are Actually Smoothing
You are NOT smoothing VWAP itself.
You are smoothing the standard deviation (σ) that creates the VWAP bands:
✔ What this does:
* Computes the raw standard deviation (σ) of price relative to VWAP
* Smooths that σ using EMA smoothing
* Builds ±1 and ±2 bands using the smoothed σ
* You get clean, stable bands that filter fakeouts
✔ Result:
* Bands do NOT twitch in chop
* Fakeouts are filtered
* Real breakouts show obvious expansion
