Volume-Confirmed EMA and VWAP Momentum Pullback Strategy

Summary

This strategy seeks directional momentum setups during a configurable regular-session window. It defines bullish or bearish bias using price relative to VWAP and a longer EMA, together with the ordering of fast and slow EMAs. A recent pullback toward the fast EMA and above-average volume are also required. The trigger is a directional candle closing beyond the previous bar's high or low, with the fast EMA moving in the trade direction. Separate cooldown tracking limits how soon another signal of the same direction can occur.

Signals open long or short positions labeled CALL and PUT, respectively, and exits use ATR-based stop and target distances. A close back across VWAP triggers an additional exit. The script provides chart labels, plots, and alert conditions, but no backtest results or evidence of an edge. Although its description mentions ETF use, including QQQ, the rules operate on chart data and do not model option contracts, premiums, or expiration; the author also cautions traders against taking every signal.

Key ideas

• Bullish and bearish bias combine VWAP location with fast, slow, and trend EMA conditions.
• Signals require a recent fast-EMA pullback, elevated volume, and a directional close beyond the previous bar.
• A regular-session filter and directional cooldown can constrain signal frequency.
• ATR-based stops and targets are paired with an additional exit when price crosses VWAP against the position.
• The script labels signals as options trades but does not model option-specific pricing or contract behavior.
