Why I Started Using This Day Trading Indicator (the best!)

Рет қаралды 908,021

4 жыл бұрын

Whether you are day trading or swing trading, when it comes to what technical indicators to use, there are many to choose from. This can be a very overwhelming challenge for beginning traders who are just getting started in the stock market; however, it does not need to be. I have been trading stocks for over a decade and the one secret I've discovered is that "less is more". You do not need to have dozens of technical indicators in order to be a successful trader. With all that being said, I have recently started using a new indicator that I have found to be extremely helpful. The Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) indicator has been around for a long time, yet, I just started to use it (with great success). What is the VWAP? How does it work? I discuss this along with my reasoning for deciding to use what many other traders consider the best technical indicator to use within a day trading strategy.

Clay, an additional important support line (for long trades) based on VWAP is a band -1.0 SD (Standard Deviation) below VWAP. Some platforms default to VWAP plus a high band at +2.0 SD and a low band at -2.0 SD. And most VWAP videos tell new traders to eliminate the upper and lower bands. That is a mistake, IMO, as they show support and resistance and are helpful in making good entries and exits. That said, I do recommend that the low band be raised from -2.0 SD to -1.0 SD. The reason is that if VWAP itself has a support strength of 4.6, then -1.0 SD has a support strength of 5.7 whereas -2.0 SD has a support strength of only 1.8. What this means is that if the price falls below VWAP it stands a very good chance of bouncing off that -1.0 SD line. If your platform allows you to add a lower band below VWAP I suggest you add one at -1.0 SD and watch to see how often that line is the price reversal support area ("bounce"). In my experience, as you can see from my numbers above, it is even stronger than VWAP itself. Try it...you may like it. Cheers!

Hi! What about the upper band, do you leave that at 2.0 SD or change it to 1.0? Also , what are you refering to with the “support strength “ ? Thanks

@perkinscove1640 2 жыл бұрын

@@johannesandreasgribfibiger6677 Johannes, I have recently modified both my support bands to be below VWAP as I am a long only trader and am looking for the lowest price support before making an entry. I have now set the "upper band" to -1.0 SD, and the "lower band" to -1.5 SD which gives me an additional support level to watch. "Support strength" indicates to me which level is stronger when related to each other. (VWAP = 4.6, -1.0 SD = 5.7, -1,5 SD = 3.1, and -2.0 SD (which I do not use) = 1.8) They only have meaning when compared to each other. For example, if the price falls below VWAP, which has a strength of 4.6, then the next level down is -1.0 which has a stronger support at 5.7. Below that the supports get gradually weaker and reversals are less likely to happen. Hope that helps. Cheers!

@@perkinscove1640 it certainly helps ! So I’m assuming the -1.0 level has the highest support strength from your observations ? Do you look for any price action at these areas or any other confirmation? Also, since the comment is pretty old and you’re still using this method , I’m assuming you are still profitable with it? Hope it’s not too many questions but I’m very interested in this approach and you seem to have plenty of experience with it! Cheers!

@@richardhp77 Love the follow up. I myself have stopped day trading. While I was finding some success I could wrap my mind around what was actually happening in the sense of perceived value vs actual. The market seems manipulated and it's pretty apparent when CEO after CEO cashes out at the exact right time, time after time. I managed to find the most success just watching what the rest of the new folks were doing in the comment sections of videos and riding their emotional wave. Doing that helped me hit on Moderna and a couple SPACs and then I just sold out right away. Now I'm sitting on a ton of profit that I have no idea what to do with. XRP? Gold? Chinese digital? Haha. I've switched temporarily to sports cards cause it's a little more fun and a lot less stressful. Definitely appreciate the follow up and the content while I invested it. Enjoy the day.

@@SoSoSlick420 Ok that's interesting. My feeling is that you are probably in the minority in that you actually made a profit, but even then you've highlighted something very important: that doing it consistently over time is much more difficult. This idea that you can easily quit your 9-5 and do day-trading seems like a fantasy. You also wonder how much of Clay's revenue comes from actual trading and how much form his $2000 courses. One is obviously a much more reliable stream of income. Also how can he be promoting this use of the VWAP without providing any back-testing to show that it's even remotely likely to lead to a profit? And if it was that simple to just look at some indicators and make a mean bank why hasn't that extraordinary profit been arbitraged out of the market yet?

@@richardhp77 You sound just like I did awhile back too when I was questioning it all. All I know is, I did much better playing the moves of the folks in the comment sections then I did anything else. But even then it was the market movement after-hours that drove me out of the daily grind. And also, I took massive hits in the beginning so my making a profit was getting me out of the whole and back to barely above water.

The VWAP is awesome in its sheer simplicity, but it's also just the tip of the volume analysis iceberg. I actually rely solely on volume-based indicators, which have the advantage of complementing one another regardless of market conditions, given they're not calculations but merely forms of organizing/displaying volume. My humble suggestion to you, Clay, is that you plot the volume profile of any instrument on your chart and see how clearly they indicate key areas in price - sort of like having several VWAPs in your chart. Big horizontal volume = big commitment = willingness to defend a price level. Great video, best to you!

@Lucas1araujo32 4 жыл бұрын

Another great reason I love the VWAP for day trading is because it stays the same on all intra day time frames. A regular moving average (Lets say 15 SMA) varies on every time frame, because it gathers the average price from the last 15 candles, now if you're using that 15 SMA on a 1min or a 5min chart the moving average is at a completely different place on the chart. This makes using these basic SMAs and EMAs a weaker confirmation than an indicator that is the same across all intra day time frames like the VWAP.

I love that you shared this. I started using it after reading Andrew Aziz' book, Advanced techniques in day trading. I think it's critical to view the charts from long time frame to short time frame with having VWAP set up in all of them. It makes it much easier to follow the trend. Love the content Clay.

Thanks for the great video! Now I believe the market moves just to drive up the VWAP to a certain price. Once it levels out, the volatility fades or the prices stay far above it

I've been using the VWAP for a long time. I'm a momentum trader and I have a long bias if above VWAP and short bias if below VWAP because I trade with the trend. I know this is directly opposite of what you explained but everybody looks at the "inkblot test" (charts) differently and an image appears that makes sense to them. The only thing that matters is if the image that appears makes you a consistent profitable trader. Another great thing about the VWAP is you can be rest assured knowing every trader using VWAP, no matter what time frame, is going to be looking at the exact same VWAP price as you (give or take a cent or two).

@thomasdivan2537 2 жыл бұрын

Great explanation ClayTrader ! However I have a question for you regarding the VWAP indicator. Hope you are willing to share your understanding to me. I got a little bit of confusion with your statement that buying the stock below the VWAP (the majority of the buyer) is considered to be good and buying above the VWAP is considered to be bad. My assumption is when there are institutions or big players who buy the stock at $20 with such a huge volume, they will have an average buying price within $20 price level. Moreover, in order for them to be profitable they will need to maintain the price above $20 which is their average buying price. In this case, if the price fails to maintain at $20 and breaks below their averahe buying price and VWAP, this will be unfavourable for the majority of buyers and eventually they might consider to sell their positions as it's unprofitable. This potentially puts a further sell off causing the price to drop further from the VWAP level and making it to be unreasonable to buy below the VWAP. What do you think about this? Thanks in advance ! 🙏

"Luke: If people have such a short attention span, they should not watch watch my Videos, because with this lack of patience they will very likely be slaughtered in the markets" I think both numbers above are valid, and both come from a different perspective. One is about getting more traction on YT, the other one about helping potential traders and don't care about YT algorithm too much.
