This is an indicator for those subscribed to the Crash Course Trading Programme. It shows where the VWAP is in relation to current price action.
It is recommended you open this heat map using the TV trading view desktop and display it on one tab. It is also recommended you keep it on the EURUSD tab.
For all currency pairs it picks up the price action and volume from OANDA so you dont have to scan these charts looking for trades. It is strongly recommended you use OANDA as this has volume within the signal which is necessary to calculate the VWAP.
It covers the following forex pairs and these are in each column designated by the corresponding two letter abbreviation:
CLMN
1. EU – EURUSD
2. EG – EURGBP
3. EC – EURCHF
4. GU – GBPUSD
5. AU – AUDUSD
6. UJ – USDJPY
7. UC – USDCHF
8. AJ – AUDJPY
9. UL – USDCAD – L stands for Loonie
10. NU – NZDUSD
11. GJ – GBPJPY
12. EA – EURAUD
13. AL – AUDCAD – L stands for Loonie
Price action is at the VWAP when the column cell is bellow as indicated by the yellow box on the left hand side of the heatmap.
If the cell is red, it means that price action is below the VWAP.
If the cell is green, it means that the price is above the VWAP.
The higher it is above or below the VWAP it shows the box being higher or lower than the yellow row and is indicated by +/- Standard Deviation on the left hand side.
The aspects we are looking for are:
1. A gradient.
2. A pullback after price action has passed through the vwap.
3. You need a good reversal bar such as a engulfing / pinbar or high/low test bar or traintracks or day/morning star. These are some examples and you are not limited to just these. If you need help with candlesticks please get in touch and we will cover this to ensure you know what types of candlesticks you are looking for.
4. Look for confirmation with Stochastic RSI 3, 3, 9, 21 or Stoch 5,3,3 or what you like in this regard. It is a momentum indicator and overbought and undersold does apply to it. It indicates the energy that price action has, not necessarily zones where you can sell or buy.
5. Divergence. Again, if you do not fully understand this topic get in touch and we can go through this.
Remember, WITHOUT a gradient you have no trade. If there is no trade there today, that is fine, there is no desperate need to trade straight away.
