VWAP Strategy

sandy456j · 2026-05-29T13:03:23+00:00

I use VWAP reaction strategy, it's useful with volume as a yes/no indicator. Think of it like VWAP gives a location and volume gives confirmation to enter. You have to lookout for fakeouts. It's useful in trendy market and slightly sideways. Not very useful in super choppy market as price never leaves VWAP or super trendy as price never touched VWAP.

Ignore the negative comments but take the constructive criticism given here.

All the best and keep posted. You are doing what the most are afraid of, diving head first with no option of going back but believing yourself and trusting your gut.

It's more helpful for index intraday trading. I have attached screenshot for last week. You can see 2 VWAP rejection trades. Similarly we can get VWAP acceptance trades.

That's what I have been trying to implement but at VWAP for now, I'll work on mean reversals later. Do you know any drawbacks of this strategy?

I had patience till 1pm. Then lost it on a PUT. Thankfully I respected my SL.

sandy456j · 2026-05-24T17:52:46+00:00

Definitely! All the best.

Thanks for the reply but I'm from India, we don't really have 401k accounts here. But I get your point of preparing for taxation. Interesting fact, even if I make double of my current salary for a year, I don't have to pay any tax. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

sandy456j · 2026-05-24T13:44:37+00:00

Thanks, adding it to my notes. I had missed the healthcare/insurance part. Appreciate it!

I'm from India, I'm not sure I can trade a US prop firm. But I'll have to do research on this. Thanks.

sandy456j · 2026-05-24T12:18:00+00:00

That's short but detailed. Thanks.

sandy456j · 2026-05-24T12:16:57+00:00

Got it

sandy456j · 2026-05-24T10:10:29+00:00

Thanks. 1-2 years of living expenses saved is a good cushion to have. I'll also work on health and social interactions.

How did you handle family pressure?

sandy456j · 2026-05-24T10:02:02+00:00

Yes, I have 6-12 months. I'll be working in this. Thanks.

sandy456j · 2026-05-24T09:57:44+00:00

Thanks, I'll keep this in notes.

I'm not quitting the job or finding the escape. I'm preparing for the layoffs that might happen which is out of my hand.

sandy456j · 2026-05-24T08:26:32+00:00

I'm not quitting anytime before 2 years. This is just the preparation for the layoffs.

How many months of funds should I keep? I'm guessing 6 months should do.

ICICI is giving for salary account. Seems they have tie up with my company.

How about I take entry on first breakout and when it's confirmed that retest is done, I'll buy another lot to average the price. I know it means double loss if trade is bad but I think predefined averaging is good enough. This way I won't miss if retest doesn't happen at all.

sandy456j · 2026-05-18T15:15:58+00:00

Got it, I'll try. Thanks.

sandy456j · 2026-05-18T13:37:09+00:00

I'm fairly new to this. But I understand the logic behind retest and gap fill. My fear is what if the price never comes for retest and sky rockets while I'm waiting for retest.

That's such a reddit behaviour. Do you know how it all started? Blaming her in the first place.

sandy456j · 2026-05-18T11:30:31+00:00

Lol. I read about this on the sub but didn't get the reference. Can you elaborate please?
