VWAP Trend Follow

Volume-weighted trend: buys when price is above the 20-day rolling VWAP and sells when it falls below.

Indicators:Rolling VWAP

Entry Logic

Buy when the close crosses above the 20-day rolling VWAP.

Exit Logic

Sell when it crosses back below VWAP.

How Rules Combine

Rolling VWAP = Σ(Typical Price×Volume,20)/Σ(Volume,20), a 20-day VWMA. On daily bars this is the meaningful equivalent of intraday session VWAP.

When It Works (Market Edge)

Trends supported by volume: price staying above a rising VWAP confirms buyers are on average in profit.

When It Fails

Low-volume drift: VWAP sits flat and price oscillates around it, giving noisy crosses like any moving average.

Common Myths

Myth: Price must always revert to VWAP.

Truth: In strong trends price can stay above VWAP for months. VWAP is value, not a magnet.
