█ Overview
Dynamic Swing Anchored VWAP (Zeiierman) is a price–volume tool that anchors VWAP at fresh swing highs/lows and then adapts its responsiveness as conditions change. Instead of one static VWAP that drifts away over time, this indicator re-anchors at meaningful structure points (swings). It computes a decayed, volume-weighted average that can speed up in volatile markets and slow down during quiet periods.
Blending swing structure with an adaptive VWAP engine creates a fair-value path that stays aligned with current price behavior, making retests, pullbacks, and mean reversion opportunities easier to spot and trade.
█ How It Works
█ Why This Adaptive Approach Beats a Simple VWAP
Standard VWAP is cumulative from the anchor point. As time passes and volume accumulates, it often drifts far from current price, especially in prolonged trends or multi-session moves. That drift makes retests rare and unreliable.
Dynamic Swing Anchored VWAP solves this in two ways:
⚪ Event-Driven Anchoring (Swings):
By restarting at fresh swing highs/lows, the VWAP reference reflects today’s structure. You get frequent, meaningful retests because the anchor stays near the action.
⚪ Adaptive Responsiveness (Volatility-Aware):
Markets don’t move at one speed. When volatility expands, a fixed VWAP lags; when volatility contracts, it can overreact to noise. Here, the “tracking speed” can auto-adjust using ATR vs its average.
Result: A VWAP that follows price more accurately, creating plenty of credible retest opportunities and more trustworthy mean-reversion/continuation reads than a simple, ever-growing VWAP.
█ How to Use
⚪ Swing-Aware Fair Value
Use the VWAP as a dynamic fair-value guide that restarts at key structural pivots. Pullbacks to the VWAP after impulsive moves often provide retest entries.
⚪ Trend Trading
In trends, the adaptive VWAP will ride closer to price, offering continuation pullbacks.

█ How It Works
⚪ Swing Anchor Engine
- The script scans for swing highs/lows using your Swing Period.
- When market direction flips (new pivot confirmed), the indicator anchors a new VWAP at that pivot and starts tracking from there.
⚪ Adaptive VWAP Core
- From each anchor, VWAP is computed using a decay model (recent price×volume matters more; older data matters less).
- Adaptive Price Tracking lets you set the base responsiveness in “bars.” Lower = more reactive, higher = smoother.
- Volatility Adjustment (ATR vs Avg ATR) can automatically speed up the VWAP during spikes and slow it during compression, so the line stays relevant to live conditions.

- High Volatility → faster tracking: VWAP hugs price more tightly, preserving retest relevance.
- Low Volatility → smoother tracking: VWAP filters chop and stays stable.

█ Settings
- Swing Period: Number of bars to confirm swing highs/lows. Larger = bigger, cleaner pivots (slower); smaller = more frequent pivots (noisier).
- Adaptive Price Tracking: Sets the base reaction speed (in bars). Lower = faster, tighter to price; higher = smoother, slower.
- Adapt APT by ATR ratio: When ON, the tracking speed auto-adjusts with market volatility (ATR vs its own average). High vol → faster; low vol → calmer.
- Volatility Bias: Controls how strongly volatility affects the speed. >1 = stronger effect; <1 = lighter touch.
