DVPO

Overview
The DVPO (Dynamic Volume Profile Oscillator) Strategy is a comprehensive and highly customizable trading tool designed for precision and control. It is built around a unique, volume-driven oscillator that identifies potential market entries by analyzing the relationship between price, volume, and volatility.

This strategy is not just another signal generator; it's a complete framework that includes dynamic entry logic, adaptive risk management (ATR Stop Loss and R:R-based Take Profit), and a powerful dashboard of 10+ optional confirmation filters to help you tailor the strategy to your specific instrument, timeframe, and trading style.

The Core Concept: The DVPO Oscillator
The heart of this strategy is the DVPO oscillator. Unlike standard oscillators like RSI or Stochastics, the DVPO's primary goal is to quantify how far the current price has deviated from its recent volume-weighted "fair value."

Here’s how it works conceptually:
Micro Volume Profile: The indicator first analyzes a recent period of bars (defined by Lookback Period) to build a mini-profile of price and volume.
Volume-Weighted Mean: From this profile, it calculates a volume-weighted average price (VWAP) and the average deviation from that mean. This establishes the central point of value for the recent period.

Deviation Measurement: The oscillator's value is derived from how far the current price is from this calculated mean, scaled by the observed price deviation and a user-defined Sensitivity. A value above the midline suggests the price is trading at a premium, while a value below suggests it's at a discount.

Adaptive Volatility Zones: Instead of using fixed overbought/oversold levels (e.g., 70/30), the DVPO calculates dynamic upper and lower zones using the standard deviation of the oscillator itself. These zones expand and contract based on recent market volatility.

An entry signal is triggered not just when the oscillator is "overbought" or "oversold," but when it breaks out of these adaptive volatility zones, signaling that a statistically significant price movement is underway.

📈 Long Entry Condition: The oscillator crosses above the dynamic upper zone.
📉 Short Entry Condition: The oscillator crosses below the dynamic lower zone.

Integrated Risk & Trade Management
A signal is useless without proper risk management. This strategy has professional-grade risk management built directly into its logic.

Stop Loss (ATR-Based): The Stop Loss is not a fixed percentage. It is calculated using the Average True Range (ATR), allowing it to adapt automatically to the market's current volatility. In volatile periods, the stop will be wider; in quiet periods, it will be tighter.

Take Profit (Risk/Reward Ratio): The Take Profit level is calculated based on a user-defined Risk/Reward Ratio. If you set a ratio of 2.0, the Take Profit target will be placed at twice the distance of the Stop Loss from your entry price.

Dynamic Position Sizing: The strategy can automatically calculate the trade quantity for you. It determines the position size based on your specified Capital Size and the % Risk Per Trade you are willing to accept, ensuring disciplined risk control on every trade.

The Filter Dashboard: Enhance Your Signal Quality
To help reduce false signals and adapt to different market conditions, the strategy includes a comprehensive dashboard of optional confirmation filters. An entry signal will only be executed if it aligns with all the filters you have activated.

Trend & Momentum Filters:
T3, VMA, & VWAP Trend Filters: Utilize a suite of advanced moving averages (T3, Variable Moving Average, and a session-based VWAP) to ensure your trades are aligned with the dominant trend.

ADX Filter: Confirms that the market has sufficient directional strength for a trend-following trade, helping to avoid entries during choppy conditions.

Kaufman Efficiency Filter: Uses the Kaufman Efficiency Ratio to measure market noise. It only allows trades when the market is trending efficiently.

Volume & Market State Filters:
Volume Flow (VFI): A sophisticated volume-based filter that confirms whether volume is supporting the price move.
TDFI (Trader's Dynamic Index): A market state indicator designed to identify when the market is primed for a strong, directional move.
Flat Market Detector: A unique filter that identifies and avoids trading in sideways or ranging markets where trend strategies typically underperform.

Trade Condition Filters:
Min TP / Max SL %: Filter out trades where the risk/reward profile doesn't meet your minimum requirements (e.g., ignore a trade if the ATR-based stop loss is more than 10% away from the price).
Session Filters: Allows you to enable or disable trading on specific days of the week and to set a Cooldown Period (a set number of bars to wait after a trade closes before looking for a new entry).

How To Use This Strategy
Start with the Core: Begin by configuring the DVPO Oscillator settings (Lookback Period, Sensitivity, Zone Width) and your Risk Management parameters (ATR Multiplier, RR Ratio, % Risk Per Trade). These form the foundation of the strategy.

Backtest and Observe: Use TradingView's Strategy Tester to see how the core signals perform on your chosen asset and timeframe.
Layer Filters Intelligently: Enable the confirmation filters one by one and re-run your backtest. Observe how each filter impacts performance (e.g., does the T3 filter increase profitability but reduce the number of trades?). The goal is to find the optimal balance between signal quality and frequency.
Visualize and Analyze: Use the Show Risk/Reward Area option to plot your entry, stop loss, and take profit levels directly on the chart for every trade, providing a clear visual representation of your trade plan.
