VWAP Indicator with 1SD and 2SD bands

Recommended Posts

Managed to do something abt the bands in cqg, however may i ask if the bands recalculation period i set to 28 periods for 2 min periods, would it be more accurate?

 

i noted that if i set it to recalculate per 2 min, my chart becomes very jerky and messy, and setting it to a longer period per recalculation makes it smoother.

 

 

Is it wrong?

 

BTW, i got a very impt question, 2 STD DEV is 2 X 1STD DEV right? just wanan clarify.

cos this means if i managed to calcualte 1 std dev, 2 or 3 std dev shld nt be a prob

Load less bars (so maybe only a day or two). If you can set to only calculate on bar close (I guess thats what re-calculate every 2 minutes will do in CQG) that should improve things. Calculating every 2 minutes dosent present a problem in most charting packages, it should not in CQG either. 28 period recalculation ios going to be quite a bit less acurate.

 

Yes 2SD is 2*1SD.

hmmmmm a bit of dilemma, i use 1 period for 2 min charting is possible, but the charting turns out terribily jerky ...... but it seems to smooth out when i use longer periods of calcualtion for SD bands.....

I dont use CQG but SD bands on weighted data are notoriously processor intensive. Having said that running the calculations every 2 minutes is a snip for most programs (Ensign, Ninja, Tradestation etc.). I wrote my own tradestation indicators that use a non iterative algorithm so no problems with jerkiness even tick by tick on a months worth of data.

 

How many days data are you loading ? If you are only re-calculating every 2 minutes you should have no problems....I would contact CQG as I mentioned before.

no no, by jerky i mean the bands stick to each bar in a very skewy way.

 

I shd attach a screenshot for u to see... arugh

 

The cqg person didnt really understand what i was trying to say...

 

sigh

I am not sure either. A screen shot and a precise description of what you are doing would be helpful.

Can someone, or Dbtina, pls pls help me check if anything needs to be modified? I had the code below sent and i am using cqg

 

 

 

day:= BarsSince(BarIx(@,StartOf Day) = 0,1,10000)+1;

day2:= BarsSince(BarIx(@,StartOf Session) = 0,1,10000)+1;

priceX:= IF(price = 1, Close(@), IF(price = 2, High(@), IF(price = 3, Low(@), IF(price = 4, Mid(@), IF(price = 5, HLC3(@), IF(price = 6, Avg(@), IF(price=7, Open(@), 0) ) ) ) ) ) ) ;

vol:= IF( HasVal(Vol(@)) AND Vol(@) > 0, Vol(@), 1) ;

a:= Sum(priceX* vol,day)/ Sum(vol,day);

b:= Sum(priceX* vol,day2)/ Sum(vol,day2);

c1:= Sum(priceX* vol,Period)/ Sum(vol,Period);

VWAP:= IF(DaySessionPeriod = 1, a, IF(DaySessionPeriod = 2, b, IF(DaySessionPeriod = 0, c1, a) ) );

 

DAYSES:= STDDEV(@,day)/100;

SES:= STDDEV(@,day2)/100;

ANY:= STDDEV(@,Period);

STD:=IF(DaySessionPeriod = 1, DAYSES, IF(DaySessionPeriod = 2, SES, IF(DaySessionPeriod = 0, ANY, ANY) ) );

R:=VWAP+((STD*DEV3));

Here is the full curves for CQG. Could any1 please take a look to see if anything is missing?

 

I noted that the std deviation are all constant from each other so there is something wrong but i do not know what.

Why are you using two different ID's to post the same messages over and over on different threads?

I tried despite the multiple posts, but I think I am done. Of course CQG would be the place to go.

 

Perhaps a mod could clean the other threads?

Here i am , sincerely asking for help and u guys are asking and scolding me abt rules this n that....

 

 

sigh..... u guys sure r strange

 

Everyone should drop what they are doing and help you? Right ho I'll spend this week learning the syntax to CQG's scripting language. Maybe you should learn to help yourself. Also maybe you should have posted all the information and steps you had taken at the start.

 

1) Check the thread that discusses the algorithm in depth. 2) send that algorithm and pertinent comments to CQG 3) Ask them to check they have implemented the algorithm correctly. 4) Profit. That's how a Ferengi would do it anyway.

 

CQG is a premium service, I would be p*ss*d off if I wasn't getting premium support. Thanking people that have tried to help rather than insulting them is probably a good plan too. Oh and all spamming your half arsed pleas for help will likely yield worse results, it 'turned off' Tams who is quite possibly one of the people who could have helped.

perhaps its due to racking my head over so many days and cant finding any solution so just feeling a bit frustrated. Didnt mean to make it sound the way it did.

 

 

Apologies once again. I try figure it out myself

 

Hope no offence taken anyway

    • Date: 28th March 2025.   Market Selloff Deepens as Tariff Concerns Weigh on Investors     Global stock markets extended their losing streak for a third day as concerns over looming US tariffs and an escalating trade war dampened investor sentiment. The flight to safety saw gold prices surge to a record high, underscoring growing risk aversion. Stock Selloff Intensifies The MSCI World Index recorded its longest losing streak in a month, while Asian equities saw their sharpest decline since late February. US and European stock futures also signalled potential weakness, while cryptocurrency markets retreated and bond yields edged lower. Investors are scaling back their exposure ahead of President Donald Trump’s expected announcement of ‘reciprocal tariffs’ on April 2. His latest move to impose a 25% levy on all foreign-made automobiles has sparked fresh concerns over inflation and economic growth, prompting traders to reassess their strategies. Investor Strategies Shift Market experts are adjusting their portfolios in anticipation of heightened volatility. ‘It’s impossible to predict Trump’s next move,’ said Xin-Yao Ng of Aberdeen Investments. ‘Our focus is on companies that are less vulnerable to tariff policies while taking advantage of market dips to find value opportunities.’ Yield Curve Signals Economic Concerns In the bond market, the spread between 30-year and 5-year US Treasury yields widened to its highest level since early 2022. Investors are bracing for potential Federal Reserve rate cuts if economic growth slows further. Long-term Treasury yields hit a one-month peak as inflation risks tied to tariffs spurred demand for higher-yielding assets. Boston Fed President Susan Collins noted that while tariffs may contribute to short-term price increases, their long-term effects remain uncertain. Gold Hits Record High as Safe-Haven Demand Rises Amid market turbulence, gold prices soared 0.7% on Friday, reaching an all-time high of $3,077.60 per ounce. Major banks have raised their price targets for the precious metal, with Goldman Sachs now forecasting gold to hit $3,300 per ounce by year-end. Looking Ahead As investors digest economic data showing US growth acceleration in Q4, attention will turn to Friday’s release of the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index—the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation measure. This data will be critical in shaping expectations for future Fed policy moves. With markets on edge and trade tensions escalating, investors will closely monitor upcoming developments, particularly Trump’s tariff announcement next week, which could further dictate market direction.   Always trade with strict risk management.
