IMPORTANT NOTES - READ FIRST

Forex Volume Is Not Real Volume

Volume in forex is tick volume — it counts how many times price changes. It does NOT count how much money was traded.

What Tick Volume Cannot Show

• Trade size. A $100 trade and a $10,000,000 trade both count as 1 tick.
• Real money flow. You cannot see if big money or small money moved the price.
• True liquidity. You cannot see how many orders are waiting in the market.
• Bank activity. Banks see real volume data. You do not.

What This Means

Tick volume only shows how often price changed — not the money behind it. This creates problems:

• You cannot track banks or institutions. They use real volume data that you don't have access to.
• You cannot prove "smart money" theories. Those ideas need real volume, not tick counts.
• You cannot judge true liquidity. Tick activity does not show order depth or real market strength.
• You cannot measure real buying or selling power. Many small trades look the same as one big institutional trade.
• Volume spikes can lie. A spike might be just algorithmic noise, not real trading interest.

How to Use This Indicator Correctly

• Treat it as an activity meter, not a money meter. High tick volume = market is busy. Low tick volume = market is quiet. Nothing more.
• Compare activity between different times. Use it to see: Is London session busier than New York? Is today more active than yesterday? Is the trend period busier than consolidation?
• Combine it with price structure. Use support/resistance, swing points, or BOS/ChoCH together with volume. Price context prevents false signals from noisy volume spikes.
• Watch activity at important price levels. When price tests a key level and tick volume increases, it means more traders are active. It does NOT mean big players are involved.
• Do not assume it shows institutional activity. Tick volume cannot show accumulation, large orders, or "smart money." Use it only to measure rhythm and tempo.

Volume Weighted Average Price with flexible reset periods and three band calculation methods.

Calculates Volume Weighted Average Price with flexible reset periods including time-based intervals (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or custom hourly), session-based resets (Asian, London, New York with configurable start times), anchor point mode for pinning VWAP to specific events, or rolling calculation from all available data.

It offers three band calculation methods: High/Low Range based on previous period's price range, Fibonacci Pivot using classical pivot calculations, and Standard Deviation bands that expand and contract with volatility.

You can customize eight Fibonacci levels (100%, 88.6%, 76.4%, 62.8%, 50%, 38.2%, 23.6%, 11.4%, 0%) with individual visibility toggles and quick upper/lower band group controls. Session management includes exact start time configuration with UTC offset adjustment and timezone-aware hourly reset handling.
