VWAP Band Trend

Updated
This indicator combines two features: VWAP bands for range trading and trends for trend-following.

The white bands offer support/resistance levels ideal for range trading: short when rejecting off the upper band, long when rejecting off the lower. Take profit either when hitting the (faint gray) midline and/or when hitting the band on the far side.

The trend analysis shows green or red ranges above or below the bands to indicate trend strength - larger swaths of green or red indicates strong trend while shorter swathes indicate weak. If the upper trend color doesn't match the lower trend color, the trend is undecided or transitioning.

Optionally, trend initiation indicators can be turned on to show above/below candles where a trend switch is taking place.
