Multi-Anchor VWAP Deviation Dashboard
Overview
Multi-Anchor VWAP Deviation Dashboard (Optimized Global) is an overlay indicator that computes up to five user-defined Anchored Volume Weighted Average Prices (AVWAPs) from custom timestamps, plotting their lines and displaying real-time percentage deviations from the current close. It enables precise analysis of price positioning relative to key events (e.g., earnings, news) or periods (e.g., weekly opens), with a compact dashboard for quick scans. Optimized for performance, it uses manual iterative calculations to handle dynamic anchor changes without repainting.
Core Mechanics
The indicator focuses on efficient AVWAP computation and deviation tracking:
Anchor Configuration: Five independent anchors, each with a name, UTC timestamp (e.g., "01 Oct 2025 00:00" for monthly open), show toggle, and color. Timestamps define the calculation start—e.g., AVWAP1 from "20 Oct 2025" onward.
AVWAP Calculation: For each enabled anchor, it identifies the first bar at/after the timestamp as the reset point, then iteratively accumulates (price * volume) / total volume from there. Uses HLC3 source (customizable); handles input changes by resetting sums on new anchors.
Deviation Metric: For each AVWAP, computes % deviation = ((close - AVWAP) / AVWAP) * 100—positive = above (potential resistance), negative = below (support).
Visuals: Plots lines (linewidth 1–2, user colors); dashboard (2 columns, 6 rows) shows names (anchor-colored if enabled) and deviations (green >0%, red <0%, gray N/A), positioned user-selectable with text sizing. Updates on last bar for efficiency.
This setup scales deviations across volatilities, aiding multi-period bias assessment.
Why This Adds Value & Originality
Standard VWAPs limit to session anchors (daily/weekly); deviation tools often lack multiples. This isn't a simple mashup: Manual iterative AVWAP (no built-in ta.vwap reliance) ensures dynamic resets on timestamp tweaks—e.g., shift "Event" to FOMC date without recalc lag. The 5-anchor flexibility (arbitrary UTC times) + centralized dashboard (colored deviations at a glance) creates a "global timeline scanner" unique to event-driven trading, unlike rigid multi-VWAP scripts. It streamlines what requires 5 separate indicators, with % normalization for cross-asset comparison (e.g., SPY vs. BTC).
How to Use
Setup: Overlay on chart. Configure anchors (e.g., Anchor1: "Weekly Open" at next Monday 00:00 UTC; enable/show 2–3 for focus). Set source (HLC3 default), position (Top Right), text size (Small).
Interpret Dashboard:
Left Column: Anchor names (e.g., "Monthly Open" in orange).
Right Column: Deviations (e.g., "+1.25%" green = above, bullish exhaustion?).
Scan for confluence (e.g., all >+2% = overbought).
Trading:
Lines: Price near AVWAP = mean reversion; breaks = momentum.
Example: -0.8% below "Event" anchor post-earnings → potential bounce buy.
Use on 1H–D; adjust timestamps via calendar.
Tips: Enable 1–3 anchors to avoid clutter; test on historical events.
Limitations & Disclaimer
AVWAPs reset on anchor bars, potentially lagging mid-period; deviations are % only (add ATR for absolute). Table updates on close (no intrabar). Timestamps must be UTC/future-proof. No alerts/exits—integrate manually. Not advice; backtest deviations on your assets. Past ≠ future. Comments for ideas.
