1. Strategy Components
1.1. VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price)
Definition: VWAP is a trading indicator that provides the average price of an asset based on both price and volume.
Purpose in Strategy:
It serves as a dynamic support/resistance level.
The price crossing above VWAP signals potential bullish momentum (long entry).
The price crossing below VWAP signals potential bearish momentum (short entry).

Indicator: A 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is used to identify the larger trend.
In Uptrend: The price is above the EMA.
In Downtrend: The price is below the EMA.

Only long trades are allowed in an uptrend, and only short trades are allowed in a downtrend.
