VWAP, EMA, and RSI Conditions for Short-Term Scalping

Article TradingView scripts

Summary

This strategy combines a fast and slow exponential moving average, VWAP, and a short-period RSI to generate long and short scalping signals. A long setup requires the fast EMA to be above the slow EMA and price above VWAP, alongside RSI below the oversold threshold. The short setup reverses the trend and RSI conditions, requiring price below VWAP and an overbought RSI reading.

The script places entries when those conditions occur and sets percentage-based profit and loss exits, converting the distances to instrument ticks. It also plots the averages, VWAP, and optional entry labels. The document presents the logic and default parameter choices, but supplies no performance results, market-specific validation, or transaction-cost analysis. The author describes it as an initial script intended for lower timeframes, so traders would need to test its behavior on their instruments and account for execution conditions before drawing conclusions.

Key ideas

  • The long setup combines a fast-over-slow EMA relationship and price above VWAP with an oversold RSI reading.
  • The short setup requires the opposite EMA and VWAP alignment together with an overbought RSI reading.
  • Profit and loss distances are set as percentages of price and converted into instrument ticks.
  • The script plots its indicators and can display buy and sell labels.
  • The document provides no backtest results or evidence of performance across markets.
