Reversal VWAP Strategy for Indices Traders

Looking to trade indices like the US500, US30, or DE40 without high fees? Discover how zero commission on indices trading supports your strategy and how to apply a VWAP setup on the 1-hour chart for consistent execution.

By combining volume confirmation with the VWAP as a dynamic support or resistance level, this strategy helps identify clean, momentum-driven setups with well-defined risk.

Strategy Concept

The VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) acts as a dynamic “fair value” line, representing the average price weighted by trading volume throughout the session. In professional trading environments, institutions often use VWAP to gauge market sentiment and ensure execution quality.

When price interacts with the VWAP either as support or resistance, it often signals a high-probability reversal or continuation zone. Especially when combined with volume spikes and confirmation candles.

Long Setup:

1. Price must be above the VWAP line.
2. A long bearish candle with high volume pulls back to test the VWAP.
3. If followed by a bullish confirmation candle (e.g., engulfing, pin bar), this is your entry signal.
4. Stop-loss is placed just below the confirmation candle.
5. The target is set using a 2:1 reward-to-risk ratio.

Short Setup:

1. Price must be below the VWAP line.
2. A long bullish candle with high volume tests VWAP from below.
3. If followed by a bearish confirmation candle, this becomes your entry signal.
4. Stop-loss is set just above the confirmation candle.
5. Apply a 2:1 RRR for the target.
