NY Session Vol Entries (RB Trading)NY Session Vol Entries (RB Trading)
NY Session Vol Entries is an intraday analysis script designed to evaluate price behavior during U.S. market hours on the one hour chart. It focuses on the interaction between relative volume expansion, adaptive volatility structure, and directional momentum alignment to help users interpret active market conditions.
The script is intended specifically for liquid U.S. equities during the New York session and is not designed for use outside this context.
Intended Usage and Scope
• Timeframe: 1 hour only
• Market hours: New York session
• Asset class: U.S. equities with consistent volume
• Style: Intraday structure and momentum evaluation
• Alerts: Available for all signal types
Core Framework
The script evaluates market behavior through three interdependent components that must align before a setup is displayed:
Relative volume behavior
Volatility expansion and contraction
Directional momentum context
This structure helps filter low-participation periods and reduce noise.
Relative Volume Analysis
The script compares current volume to a rolling 14-period average to identify periods where participation meaningfully deviates from typical conditions.
Elevated volume often occurs during session opens or active repricing phases. When volume remains muted, the script suppresses signals to avoid low-quality environments.
Adaptive Volatility Structure
Volatility bands are calculated using an 8-period true range measurement. These bands adjust dynamically based on recent volatility rather than remaining static.
During elevated participation, the bands compress to reflect tighter price acceptance. As volatility expands, the bands trail price to help visualize directional structure.
Directional Momentum Context
Directional context is determined using a dual moving average relationship.
• When short-term momentum is above longer-term momentum, the script allows only bullish evaluations
• When short-term momentum is below longer-term momentum, the script allows only bearish evaluations
This alignment reduces counter-directional signals and helps maintain structural consistency. The filter can be disabled if users wish to study range behavior.
Signal Classification
The script displays two types of informational labels:
Volume-Aligned Signals
These appear only when directional momentum and relative volume expansion align at candle close.
Momentum Rotation Signals
These indicate directional shifts regardless of volume and are intended to provide context rather than standalone triggers.
All signals are confirmed only after the candle closes. No intrabar logic is used.
Stop and Target Reference Plotting
When conditions align, the script plots visual reference levels:
• A stop reference positioned beyond the momentum structure
• A projected target reference calculated using a fixed 2R multiple relative to the stop distance
These levels are provided for consistency and planning. They are not forecasts or guarantees.
Session and Timing Considerations
The script is designed specifically for New York market hours. Liquidity and participation outside this window often distort volume and volatility behavior.
Earnings sessions should be treated with caution, as event-driven price action can override normal structural behavior.
Opening Range Consideration
The first one hour candle of the New York session can display elevated volatility due to initial repricing. Allowing additional candles to form may provide clearer structural information before evaluating signals.
Why One Hour and New York Session
The one hour timeframe balances structure and responsiveness while reducing lower-timeframe noise. New York trading hours provide the most reliable volume profile for U.S. equities, making relative volume analysis more meaningful.
Settings Overview
• Volatility period: 8
• Volatility multiplier: 3.0
• Volume average period: 14
• Momentum averages: 8 and 21
• Trend filter: Enabled by default
• Alerts available for all signal types
Chart Usage Guidelines
• Use the script on a clean chart
• Avoid stacking additional momentum or volume indicators
• Drawings should only be used when they help interpret structure
Important Notes
This script analyzes historical price and volume behavior. It does not predict future price movement or ensure outcomes. Users should test the tool, understand its logic, and apply independent risk management.

CK: Locked Session H/L + Volume Profile (1m Fixed)The session roadmap every futures trader needs — without the clutter.
This tool automatically locks the previous session’s structure and gives you the five most important institutional levels:
✅ Locked Session High
✅ Locked Session Low
✅ Session POC (Point of Control)
✅ VAH – Value Area High
✅ VAL – Value Area Low
Everything is calculated using 1-minute data only, so your levels are accurate, consistent, and never repaint.
💡 What It Does
Tracks the entire session from the RTH close to the next RTH close.
Builds a volume-by-price profile for that session.
Automatically freezes the session’s:
Highest price
Lowest price
Most-traded price (POC)
70% value area (VAH/VAL)
Plots all levels as clean horizontal lines for today’s trading.
🚀 Why Traders Use This
These 5 levels control most algorithmic and institutional activity.
This indicator shows you exactly where price reacted yesterday, so you can:
Catch retests and bounces with confidence
Avoid trading in the middle of nowhere
Anticipate reversals, breakouts, and liquidity grabs
Build a consistent plan around the same fixed levels every day
HTF FVG + SessionsThis indicator combines multi-timeframe FVG A–C detection with intraday session boxes on a single chart.
It automatically finds bullish and bearish Fair Value Gaps on 15m, 30m, 1H, 4H, 1D and 1W timeframes.
Fresh FVGs are drawn in a transparent gold color, then dynamically shrink as price trades back into the gap.
Once price fully fills the gap, the FVG box and its label are automatically removed from the chart.
After the first touch, each FVG changes to a per-timeframe gray shade, making overlapping HTF gaps easy to see.
You can toggle each timeframe on/off and also globally enable/disable all FVGs from the settings panel.
Session boxes highlight Asia, London, NY AM, NY Lunch and NY PM using soft colored rectangles.
Each session box is plotted from the high to the low of that session and labeled with its name in white text.
A global “Show all session boxes” switch allows you to quickly hide or display the session structure.
This tool is designed for traders who want to combine FVG liquidity maps with clear intraday session context.

GMS Session Rays – (Sydney/Asia/London/NY)GMS Session Rays – (Sydney/Asia/London/NY)
A lightweight Pine v6 indicator that plots the previous completed session’s High and Low for the four major sessions—Sydney, Asia, London, New York—so you always see the most actionable structure levels without chart clutter. Lines auto update at the end of each session and extend right as horizontal rays. Labels are clean, stack automatically to avoid overlap, and can be placed on the left or right side of the chart.
What it shows
Previous session High/Low for each enabled session (not the current live session).
Right extended rays at those prices, updated when the session closes.
Optional labels per session (e.g., “Sydney high”, “London low”), with auto stacking to prevent overlaps.
USD Session 8FX - LDN & NY (TF-invariant, Live + Table)What changed
Flexible session window
Removed the old fixed NY end-time selector.
Added new inputs so you can pick start time and length:
London: ldnStartSel (default 08:00) and ldnLenSel with options 45/60/90 minutes.
New York: nyStartSel (default 15:30) and nyLenSel with options 45/60/90 minutes.
The session string used by time(refTF, sess, tz) is now built dynamically as "HHMM-HHMM" from start + length (e.g., 1530-1630).
The label shown in the table (winTxt) auto-formats to HH:MM–HH:MM.
New time helpers
addMinutesHHMM() computes the end time from a "HHMM" start plus a minute length.
makeSess() produces the session string "HHMM-HHMM".
prettySess() converts "HHMM-HHMM" → "HH:MM-HH:MM".
(Kept on one line to avoid the “end of line without line continuation” error.)
Stability & UI fixes
Main table now uses table.new(f_pos(tablePos), ...) directly (no undeclared pos variable).
Trade Gate panel uses a properly initialized gatePosEnum before table.new(...) (fixes “Undeclared identifier”).
Minor cleanups; no logic changes.
What did NOT change
Scoring logic: returns → optional ATR normalization → weights → anti-USD vs USD-base averages → final score.
Thresholds: minAbsScore and live intrath alerts are unchanged.
VWAP Gate logic is the same (price vs VWAP consistency depending on USD Strong/Weak).
Freeze/Lock of values at session end is unchanged.
Alerts (session close bias, live threshold cross, and “Entry hint”) are unchanged.
Why this helps (practical impact)
Longer windows (e.g., NY 60/90, LDN 60/90) usually make the score more robust, filtering noise and reducing false signals—at the cost of a slightly slower signal.
You can now A/B test:
London: 45 vs 60 vs 90
New York: 45 vs 60 vs 90
without touching anything else; the indicator adapts automatically.
How to use
Choose Session (London / New York).
Set the start and length for that session.
The background highlight, the winTxt, and the entry/exit logic all follow the dynamic window.
Quick tips to reduce false signals
Try NY 60 or NY 90 and LDN 60 when volatility is choppy.
Keep ATR normalization ON (useATRnorm = true) for more comparable returns.
Consider raising minAbsScore slightly (e.g., from 0.12 → 0.15–0.20) if you still see noise.
Use the VWAP Gate panel: only act when Bias OK and at least one of the Top-3 pairs shows VWAP OK.
If you want, I can add quick presets (buttons) to jump between LDN 45/60/90 and NY 45/60/90, or plot two Scores side by side for direct comparison.
ICT Session Profile — OHLC CompressionICT Session Profile — OHLC Compression
This indicator compresses each New York-based session into a single OHLC candle — so no matter where you are in the world, everyone sees the exact same session structure.
Sessions follow NYC local time. Select UTC-4 during DST and UTC-5 during standard time to correctly align market opens.
Session logic (ICT interpretation):
• S1 = CPDR range (pre-kill zone reference)
• S2 = Asian kill zone
• S3 = London kill zone
• S4 = NYC kill zone (intraday expansion window)
What it helps you see:
• When Asia → London → NYC manipulate, reverse, or expand a range
• Session-to-session momentum and volatility shifts
• Liquidity highs/lows and market narrative
This tool helps traders apply ICT concepts like PO3, It’s particularly useful for identifying liquidity zones, Killzone reactions, and higher timeframe market structure while executing on a lower timeframe

Aggression Bulbs v3.1 (Sessions + Bias, fixed)EYLONAggression Bulbs v3.2 (Sessions + Bias + Volume Surge)
This indicator highlights aggressive buy and sell activity during the London and New York sessions, using volume spikes and candle body dominance to detect institutional momentum.
⚙️ Main Logic
Compares each candle’s volume vs average volume (Volume Surge).
Checks body size vs full candle range to detect strong directional moves.
Uses an EMA bias filter to align signals with the current trend.
Displays green bubbles for aggressive buyers and red bubbles for aggressive sellers.
🕐 Sessions
London: 08:00–12:59 UTC+1
New York: 14:00–18:59 UTC+1
(Backgrounds: Yellow = London, Orange = New York)
📊 How to Read
🟢 Green bubble below bar → Aggressive BUY candle (strong demand).
🔴 Red bubble above bar → Aggressive SELL candle (strong supply).
Bubble size = relative strength (volume × candle dominance).
Use in confluence with key POI zones, volume profile, or delta clusters.
⚠️ Tips
Use on 1m–15m charts for scalping or intraday analysis.
Combine with your session bias or FVG zones for higher accuracy.
Set alerts when score ≥ threshold to catch early momentum.

ORB + Session VWAP Pro (London & NY) — fixedORB + Session VWAP Pro (London & NY) — Listing copy (EN)
What it is
A clean, non-repainting intraday tool that fuses the classic Opening Range Breakout (ORB) with a session-anchored VWAP filter for London and New York. It highlights only the higher-quality breakouts (above/below session VWAP), adds an optional retest confirmation, and scores each signal with an intuitive Confidence metric (0–100).
Why it works
• ORB provides the day’s first actionable structure (range high/low).
• Session VWAP filters “cheap” breaks and favors flows aligned with session value.
• Optional retest reduces first-tick whipsaws.
• Confidence blends breakout depth (vs ATR), VWAP slope and band distance.
Key visuals
• LDN/NY OR High/Low (line break style) + optional OR boxes.
• Active Session VWAP (resets per signal window; falls back to daily VWAP outside).
• Optional VWAP bands (stdev or %).
• Session shading (London/NY windows).
• Signal markers (LDN BUY/SELL, NY BUY/SELL) fired with cooldown.
Signals
• London Long / Short: Break of LDN OR High/Low ± ATR buffer, aligned with VWAP side.
• NY Long / Short: Same logic during NY window.
• Retest (optional): Requires a tag back to the OR level ± tolerance before confirmation.
• Confidence: 0–100; gate via Min Confidence (default 55).
Inputs that matter
• Open Range Length (min): Default 15.
• London/NY times & timezones.
• ATR buffer & retest tolerance.
• Bands mode: Stdev (with lookback) or % (e.g., 1%).
• Signal cooldown: Avoids clutter on fast moves.
Non-repaint policy
• OR lines build within fixed time windows using the current bar’s timestamp.
• VWAP is cumulative within the session window; no lookahead.
• All ta.crossover/ta.crossunder are precomputed every bar (no conditional execution).
• Signals are based on live bar values, not future bars.
⸻
Quick start (examples)
1) EURUSD, London momentum
• Chart: 5m or 15m.
• OR: 15 min starting 08:00 Europe/London.
• Signals: Use defaults; keep ATR buffer = 0.2 and Retest = ON, Min Confidence ≥ 55.
• Play:
• BUY when price breaks LDN OR High + buffer and stays above VWAP; retest confirms.
• Trail behind VWAP or band #1; partials into band #2.
2) NAS100, New York breakout & run
• Chart: 5m.
• NY window: 09:30 America/New_York, OR = 15 min.
• Retest OFF on high momentum days; Min Confidence ≥ 60.
• Use band mode Stdev, bandLen=50, show ±1/±2.
• Momentum continuation: add on pullbacks that hold above VWAP after the breakout.
3) XAUUSD, London fake & VWAP fade
• Chart: 5m.
• Keep Retest ON; accept only shorts that break OR Low but retest fails back under VWAP.
• Confidence gate ≥ 50 to allow more mean-reversion setups.
⸻
Pro tips
• Adjust ATR buffer to the instrument: FX 0.15–0.25, indices 0.20–0.35, metals 0.20–0.30.
• Retest ON for choppy conditions; OFF for news momentum.
• Use VWAP bands: take partials at ±1; stretch targets at ±2/±3.
• Session timezones are explicit (London/New York). Ensure they match your instrument’s behavior.
• Pair with a higher-TF bias (e.g., 1H/4H trend) for directional filtering.
⸻
Alerts (ready to use)
• ORB+SVWAP — LDN Long, LDN Short, NY Long, NY Short
(Respect your cooldown; alerts fire only after confirmation and confidence gate.)
⸻
Known limits & notes
• Designed for intraday. On 1D+ charts, session windows compress.
• If your broker session differs from London/NY clocks on a holiday, adjust input times.
• Session-anchored VWAP uses the script’s signal window, not exchange sessions, by design.

Bearish Breakaway Dual Session-FVGInspired by the FVG Concept:
This indicator is built on the Fair Value Gap (FVG) concept, with a focus on Consolidated FVG. Unlike traditional FVGs, this version only works within a defined session (e.g., ETH 18:00–17:00 or RTH 09:30–16:00).
See the Figure below as an example:
Bearish consolidated FVG & Bearish breakaway candle
Begins when a new intraday high is printed. After that, the indicator searches for the 1st bearish breakaway candle, which must have its high below the low of the intraday high candle. Any candles in between are part of the consolidated FVG zone. Once the 1st breakaway forms, the indicator will shades the candle’s range (high to low). Then it will use this candle as an anchor to search for the 2nd, 3rd, etc. breakaways until the session ends.
Session Reset: Occurs at session close.
Repaint Behavior:
If a new intraday (or intra-session) high forms, earlier breakaway patterns are wiped, and the system restarts from the new low.
Counter:
A session-based counter at the top of the chart displays how many bullish consolidated FVGs have formed.
Settings
• Session Setup:
Choose ETH, RTH, or custom session. The indicator is designed for CME futures in New York timezone, but can be adjusted for other markets.
If nothing appears on your chart, check if you loaded it during an inactive session (e.g., weekend/Friday night).
• Max Zones to Show:
Default = 3 (recommended). You can increase, but 3 zones are usually most useful.
• Timeframe:
Best on 1m, 5m, or 15m. (If session range is big, try higher time frame)
Usage:
See this figure as an example
1. Avoid Trading in Wrong Direction
• No Bearish breakaway = No Short trade.
• Prevents the temptation to countertrade in strong uptrends.
2. Catch the Trend Reversal
• When a bearish breakaway appears after an intraday high, it signals a potential reversal.
• You will need adjust position sizing, watch out liquidity hunt, and place stop loss.
• Best entries of your preferred choices: (this is your own trading edge)
Retest
Breakout
Engulf
MA cross over
Whatever your favorite approach
• Reversal signal is the strongest when price stays within/below the breakaway candle’s
range. Weak if it breaks above.
3. Higher Timeframe Confirmation
• 1m can give false reversals if new lows keep forming.
• 5m often provides cleaner signals and avoids premature reversals.
Summary
This indicator offers 3 main advantages:
1. Prevents wrong-direction trades.
2. Confirms trend entry after reversal signals.
3. Filters false positives using higher timeframes.
Failed example:
Usually happen if you are countering a strong trend too early and using 1m time frame
Last Mention:
The indicator is only used for bearish side trading.
Asian & London Session High/LowThis Pine Script v6 indicator plots the high and low of the Asian and London trading sessions on the chart before the New York session opens.
Asian session is defined from 00:00 to 08:00 (Europe/Sofia time).
London session is defined from 09:00 to 16:30 (Europe/Sofia time).
The session highs and lows are tracked live and updated as new candles form within the session time ranges.
At 16:30, when the New York session opens, all high/low values are reset to na to prepare for the next day.
Horizontal lines are plotted using plot.style_linebr to extend the lines until the next candle.
This tool helps traders identify key support/resistance zones formed during the most active pre-New York hours.
AP Session Liquidity with EQH/EQL and Previous DayThis indicator plots key intraday session highs and lows, along with essential market structure levels, to help traders identify areas of interest, potential liquidity zones, and high-probability trade setups. It includes the Asia Session High and Low (typically 00:00–08:00 UTC), London Session High and Low (08:00–12:00 UTC), New York AM Session High and Low (12:00–15:00 UTC), and New York Lunch High and Low (15:00–17:00 UTC). Additionally, it displays the Previous Day’s High and Low for context on recent price action, as well as automatically detected Equal Highs and Lows based on configurable proximity settings to highlight potential liquidity pools or engineered price levels. These session levels are widely used by institutional traders and are critical for analyzing market behavior during time-based volatility windows. Traders can use this indicator to anticipate breakouts, fakeouts, and reversals around session boundaries—such as liquidity grabs at Asia highs/lows before the London or New York sessions—or to identify key consolidation and expansion zones. Equal Highs and Lows serve as magnets for price, offering insight into potential stop hunts or inducement zones. This tool is ideal for day traders, scalpers, and smart money concept practitioners, and includes full customization for session timings, color schemes, line styles, and alert conditions. Whether you're trading price action, ICT concepts, or supply and demand, this indicator provides a powerful framework for intraday analysis.
RTH Session Highs & LowsA Pine Script indicator designed to track and plot the Regular Trading Hours (RTH) session highs and lows on a chart, typically for U.S. equity markets (e.g., S&P 500, Nasdaq, etc.), which operate from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM Eastern Time.
Session High & Low Lines:
During the RTH session, the indicator draws green and red horizontal lines that represent the highest and lowest price seen so far within that trading session.
These levels help traders identify intraday support (low) and resistance (high) levels.
New High/Low Markers:
Small triangle markers are placed:
Above the bar when a new intraday high is made (green triangle).
Below the bar when a new intraday low is made (red triangle).
This visually flags when momentum may be building or reversing.
Intraday Strategy Support:
Use the session high/low as dynamic support/resistance for scalping or breakout strategies.
For example:
Breakouts above session highs may indicate bullish strength.
Breakdowns below session lows may suggest bearish momentum.
Mean Reversion Tactics:
Prices approaching these lines and then rejecting can be used for mean reversion setups.
Combine with volume or candlestick patterns for confirmation.
Risk Management:
Set stops or targets relative to session highs/lows.
For instance, use session high as a stop-loss level in a short position.
Volatility Gauge:
Tracking how frequently new highs/lows are formed can help assess intraday volatility or range expansion.
Complement with Indicators:
Combine this with our "McGinley Dynamic Channel with Directional Shading" indicator or our "EMA Crossover with Shading" indicator to add context to breakouts or rejections.
matrixx Global Sessions + Good/Premium Spread ZonesSimple (enough) Script that allows you to visualize the major trading sessions, with some QoL stuff, Includes a "Monday Open" bar for reference when zooming out.
By default no one 'session' is turned on; instead, we have;
Good Zone - where spread tends to close up enough for (me) to trade in the 1-minute timezones
Premium Zone - where the tightest spreads tend to happen and I (you?) can get more aggressive with Stop Losses, and moment-to-moment trade accuracy.
The Monday Open - for reference.
You are able to go into the settings and turn these on and off at will, making any combination of 'zones' you prefer, and can colour code them, as well.
Points of Difference;
You can turn on and off any group or set of sessions for an overview;
Additionally, this is coded so that if there is a "Daylight Saving" or other localized timezone shift, it should be reflected correcty, as timezones are calculated based on each sessions' data, not arbitrarily with +/- as most of the other scripts that do similar to this one.
Monday Open
you can toggle sessions, or instead toggle the 'off hour' zones, at will
End-of-Session ProbabilityThis indicator estimates the probability that the market will finish the session above a specified target price. It blends a statistical probability model with directional bias and optional morning momentum weighting to help traders gauge end-of-day market expectations.
Key Features:
• Statistical Probability Model:
Uses a normal distribution (with a custom normal CDF approximation) scaled by the square-root-of-time rule. The indicator dynamically adjusts the standard deviation for the remaining session time to compute a z‑score and ultimately the probability that the session close exceeds the target.
• Directional Bias via Daily HullMA (Exponential):
A daily Hull Moving Average (calculated using an exponential method) is used as a big-picture trend indicator. The model allows you to select your bias method—either by comparing the current price to the daily HullMA (Price method) or by using the HullMA’s slope (Slope method). A drift multiplier scales this bias, which then shifts the mean used in the probability calculations.
• Optional Morning Momentum Weight:
For traders who believe that early session moves provide useful clues about the day’s momentum, you can enable an optional weighting. The indicator captures the percentage change from the morning open (within a user-defined time window) and adjusts the expected move accordingly. A multiplier lets you control the strength of this adjustment.
• Visual Outputs:
The indicator plots quantile lines (approximately the 25%, 50%, and 75% levels) for the expected price distribution at session end. An abbreviated on-chart label displays key information:
• Target: The target price (current price plus a user-defined offset)
• Prob Above: The probability (in percentage) that the session close will exceed the target price
• Time: The time remaining in the session (in minutes)
How to Use:
1. Set Your Parameters:
• Expected Session Move: Input your estimated standard deviation for the full-session move in price units.
• Daily Hull MA Settings: Adjust the period for the daily HullMA and choose the bias method (Price or Slope). Modify the drift multiplier to tune the strength of the directional bias.
• Target Offset: Specify an offset from the current price to set your target level.
• Morning Momentum (Optional): Enable the morning momentum weight if you want the indicator to adjust the expected move based on early session price changes. Define the morning session window and set the momentum multiplier.
2. Interpret the Output:
• Quantile Lines: These represent the range of possible end-of-session prices based on your model.
• Abbreviated Label: Provides a quick snapshot of the target price, probability of finishing above that target, and time remaining in the session.
3. Trading Application:
Use the probability output as a guide to assess if the market is likely to continue in the current direction or reverse by session close. The indicator can help you decide on trade entries, exits, or adjustments based on your overall strategy and risk management approach.
This tool is designed to offer a dynamic, statistically driven snapshot of the market’s expected end-of-day behavior, combining both longer-term trend bias and short-term momentum cues.
Futures Globex Session(s)This indicator draws a box around the Globex Session for the various Futures markets. The box height defines the highs and lows of that session, and the width defines the timeframe of that session.

Volatility Weighted Moving Average + Session Average linesHi Traders !
Just finished my Y2 university finals exams, and thought I would cook up a quick and hopefully useful script.
VWAP + Session Average Lines :
Volatility Weighted Average Price in the standard case is a trading indicator that measures the average trading price for the user defined period, usually a standard session (D timeframe), & is used by traders as a trend confirmation tool.
This VWAP script allows for altering of the session to higher dimensions (D, W, M) or those of lower dimension (H4, or even H1 timeframes), furthermore this script allows the lookback of data to be switched from the standard session to a user defined amount of bars (e.g. the VWAP of 200 bars as opposed to the VWAP of a standard session which contains 95 bars in M15 timeframe for 24/7 traded assets e.g. BTCUSD), lastly this script plots Session VWAP Average Lines (if true in settings) so tradaes can gauge the area of highest liquidity within a session, this can be interpreted as the fair price within a session. If Average lines are increasing and decreasing consistently like a monotonic function this singles traders interest is at higher / lower prices respectively (Bullish / Bearish bias respectively ?), However if Average lines are centered around the same zones without any major fluctuations this signals a ranging market.
VWAP calculation :
VWAP is derived from the ratio of the assets value to total volume of transactions where value is the product of typical price (Average of high, low and close bars / candles) and corresponding bar volume, value can be thought of as the dollar value traded per bar.
How is VWAP used by Institutions / Market movers :
For some context and general information, VWAP is typically used by Market movers (e.g. Hedge funds, Mutual funds ,..., ...) in their trade execution, as trading at the VWAP equals the area of highest market volume, trading in line with the volume of the market reduces transaction costs by minimizing market impact (extra liquidity lowers spreads and lag time between order fills), this overall improves market efficiency.
In my opinion the script is best used with its standard settings on the M15 timeframe, note as of now the script is not functional on certain timeframes, however this script is not intended to be used in these timeframes, i will try fix this code bug as soon as possible.
