VWAP Spider

Updated
The VWAP Spider indicator enhances the conventional Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) analysis by anchoring it to the first candle and incorporating an extensive series of standard deviation (SD) lines, extending up to +8 SDs with additional half-step increments. This configuration provides a more suitable set of lines for identifying support and resistance, distinguishing it from existing VWAP and SD indicators. Its design, featuring color gradients for fills and distinct labels for each line, aims to improve the utility and user experience.

Optimal Timeframes:
It is recommended for use on weekly or monthly resolutions to ensure all price and volume history is included.

Distinctive Features:
  • The indicator includes a more extensive array of SD lines than typically found in VWAP indicators, enhancing the depth of market analysis.
  • The visual presentation is optimized with color gradients and clear labeling, facilitating ease of use and integration into trading strategies.


Practical Use of the VWAP Spider:
  • SD Lines as Support and Resistance: Observe the interactions between the price and the SD lines closely. These can serve as dynamic support and resistance indicators, influencing trading decisions.
  • Analyzing Historical Price Action: Investigate how the price has historically interacted with the SD lines. Identify which lines have frequently acted as support and resistance in the past, as they will often continue to be revisited.
  • Strategic Application: Leverage insights from the interactions between price and SD lines to fine-tune entry and exit points. For example, a rebound from an SD line may suggest a strong entry point, while breaching an SD line could indicate a potential exit.


This indicator is freely available and open-source on TradingView for all. It is designed to help traders enhance their market analysis and strategic decision-making.
