VWAP Bands v2 for Amibroker (AFL)

Amibroker (AFL)

I took code that was already posted and improved on it at the poster’s request because it was “too slow”.

I made the following changes:

Code is now 10+ times faster per request.
Added a 3rd band.
Added a static line show prior period’s VWAP centerline
Added Weekly and Monthly period choices. Default is Daily
Included Multi-VWAP display from AB 5.50 — just Delete Study if you don’t want this.

I also note that the VWAP bands provided by AB do not seem to match up exactly with the VWAP indicator as programmed. I do not know enough about the indicator to say for sure, but the “peak” volume from Tomasz VWAP plot does not match up with the ending value of VWAP in this indicator and I should. This is because I think that the VWAP is the same as the Market Profile POC (point of control), but I don’t know for sure.

PS: It’s got a few _TRACE() statements in it that you can delete. They are just for problem solving.

// Move AvgPrice computation before the loop so it's only done ONCE in an array.
// Replace SetBarsRequired with only computing visible bars...back to the start of the oldest time period even if it's "off screen".
// These 2 changes make it run in 1/12th the time. No doubt database dependent on how much time is saved.// VWAP code that also plots 3 standard deviations.
// I think more savings is possible, but will take a harder look to find.

// NOTE: the code is SLOOOOWWWW...can someone help speed it up?
// I tried my best, but can't really do much with the two for-loops...

6. mahmoud

could you help me to get that indicator > every time i try to get failed . what is the prosedure to get formula?

7. administrator

@mahmoud use the “Copy & Paste Friendly” link to get the formula.

Hello magicTH
Congratulation…Good work . Plotted perfectly…small request can you please add buy-sell signals
i.e
buy= price crossing stddev_1_pos , stddev_2_pos
sell = price crossing stddev_1_neg , stddev_2_neg

*sorry for trouble
Thank you

9. imkc1127
