VWAP Deviation Touch Bias

The VWAP Deviation Touch Bias indicator identifies and plots bullish and bearish biases in the market by analyzing price interactions with key VWAP standard deviation zones. It integrates seamlessly into a variety of trading strategies, providing directional confirmation signals using green (bullish) or red (bearish) triangles. Traders can adjust parameters for flexibility, enabling trend or counter-trend strategies. The indicator ensures clear signal formation by validating price movement through specified zones and allows optional inversion of signal direction.
