The N-Monthly VWAP is the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of a security for the selected N-month period. The VWAP gives a fair reflection of the market conditions throughout the selected period and is one of the most popular benchmarks used by large traders.
The N-Monthly VWAP can be set to calculate for the entireperiod or it can be set to calculate for custom hours such as the regular session only. The VWAP further comes with volume-weighted standard deviation bands or quarter range bands. Although the VWAP uses volume information, it is best set to “Calculate” = “On price change”. It is not necessary to recalculate it with each incoming tick.
Trading hours template: The trading hours template should be set to <instrument settings> or any other trading hours template that reflects the contractual trading hours of the instrument.
Full_Session: The VWAP will be calculated for the full session as selected per trading hours template.
Custom_Hours: You may select custom hours for calculating the VWAP in different time zones.
Standard_Deviation: The volatility bands are calculated as a selectable multiple of the standard deviation, where the standard deviation is calculated for the selected session and week.
Quarter_Range: The volatility bands are calculated as a selectable multiple of the quarter range for the current month.
Accuracy: The indicator calculates both VWAP and volatility bands from the primary bars shown on the chart. All data points of each bar are used for the calculation in order to obtain the best possible result. However, accuracy also depends on the chart resolution. Accuracy increases as trading volume accumulates.
The Current Day VWAP is the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of a security for the current day’s trading session. The VWAP gives a fair reflection of the market conditions throughout the trading day and is probably the most popular benchmark used by large traders.
The Current Day VWAP can be set to calculate for the entire trading day or it can be set to calculate for custom hours such as the regular session only. The VWAP further comes with volume-weighted standard deviation bands or quarter range bands. Although the VWAP uses volume information, it is best set to “Calculate” = “On price change”. It is not necessary to recalculate it with each incoming tick.
Trading hours template: The trading hours template should be set to <instrument settings> or any other trading hours template that reflects the contractual trading hours of the instrument.

Custom_Hours: You may select custom hours for calculating the VWAP in different time zones.
Standard_Deviation: The volatility bands are calculated as a selectable multiple of the standard deviation, where the standard deviation is calculated for the selected session.
Quarter_Range: The volatility bands are calculated as a selectable multiple of the quarter range for the current session.
Accuracy: The indicator calculates both VWAP and volatility bands from the primary bars shown on the chart. All data points of each bar are used for the calculation in order to obtain the best possible result. However, accuracy also depends on the chart resolution. Accuracy increases as trading volume accumulates. Therefore it is recommended to select an early anchor point and only use VWAP and volatility bands once they have stabilized.
The Current Month VWAP is the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of a security for the current month. The VWAP gives a fair reflection of the market conditions throughout the trading month and is one of the most popular benchmarks used by large traders.

The Current Week VWAP is the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of a security for the current week. The VWAP gives a fair reflection of the market conditions throughout the trading week and is one of the most popular benchmarks used by large traders.
The Current Week VWAP can be set to calculate for the entire trading week or it can be set to calculate for custom hours such as the regular session only. The VWAP further comes with volume-weighted standard deviation bands or quarter range bands. Although the VWAP uses volume information, it is best set to “Calculate” = “On price change”.

This is an improved version of the drive indicator.
The indicator detects both volatility and momentum and shows the relationsship between bullish momentum or bearish momentum and volatility.
Volatility is measured via the absolute value of the indicator. You will notice, how it moves up during the day session and moves down during the night session.
Momentum is measured as the difference between the two lines. Positive momentum is shown as green and negative momentum is shown as red. The momentum is measured via the enhanced momentum indicator, which is included.
The lines are smoothed with a Hull moving average for display.
This strategy uses the volatility indicator to place trades based on increases in short term volatility. The strategy compares the volatility indicator to a moving average to define periods of increased volatility. When the volatility reading crosses the volatilities moving average, volatility is defined as up and a trade is placed.
When volatility is up, an entry to buy is placed at the upper price channel, and an entry to short is placed at the lower price channel. If volatility is not above the moving average, then no entries are made.
This strategy was created by James Stanley of the DailyFX.com course department.
The Z-score or standard score is a numerical measurement of a value’s relationship to the arithemic mean of the data set. The Z-score is the signed number of standard deviations by which the current value of a data point is above the mean value or below the mean value as calculated for the selected lookback period.
For a normally distributed sample 95.8% of the z-scores of all data points fall within the range [-2, +2]. A Z-score of 0 indicates that the data point is identical with the arithmetic mean of the data set.
The Z-score is a normalized oscillator that can be used to identify extreme readings of the input series. The Z-score is calculated by dividing the absolute difference between a data point and the arithmetic mean by the standard deviation.
One of the main applications of the Z-score is that it can be used to normalize any oscillator. For example, the MACD is a non-normalized oscillator which does not pass the c-test introduced by William Eckhardt. However, when the Z-score is used to normalize the MACD, the resulting oscillator uses a normalized scale and will pass the c-test. The normalized MACD is obtained, when the MACD is used as the input series for the Z-score.
October 31st, 2019 12:30 AM GwaiZaiTrader Thanks this indicator is great!!! I am trying to switch to NT8 and attempted to convert it with the methods outlined her
e and no errors were given. I imported it to NT8. No errors or logs were given during Ninjascript import, but the indica
tor cannot be found.
