## 📊 VWAP Table with Color – Clear VWAP Deviation at a Glance

This script displays a **VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price)** table in a non-intrusive, color-coded panel on your chart. It helps you **quickly assess where the current price stands relative to VWAP**, classified into sigma bands (standard deviations). The goal is to provide valuable VWAP insight **without cluttering the chart with multiple lines**.

---

### 🔍 Purpose & Concept

VWAP is a powerful tool used by institutional traders to measure the average price an asset has traded at throughout the day, based on both volume and price.

In this script:
- We **do not plot traditional VWAP lines** with multiple ±1σ, ±2σ, etc., on the chart.
- Instead, we **summarize VWAP and its relative position in a table**, color-coded by deviation.
- This provides the **same information**, but in a **cleaner, minimal, and visually digestible format**.

---

### 🧠 VWAP Deviation Classification

The script calculates how far the current price is from the VWAP, in units of **standard deviation (σ)**.

The formula is:

```plaintext
VWAP Delta σ = (Current Price - VWAP) / Standard Deviation
```

This gives you a normalized value for deviation from VWAP, and it is **clamped between -3 and +3** to avoid extreme outliers.

Each range is color-coded and classified as:

| VWAP Δσ | Zone | Interpretation | Color |
|---------|---------------|------------------------------------------|--------------|
| -3σ | Far Below | Strongly below VWAP – potentially oversold | 🔴 Red |
| -2σ | Below | Below VWAP – bearish territory | 🟠 Orange |
| -1σ | Slightly Below| Slightly under VWAP – weak signal | 🟡 Yellow |
| 0σ | At VWAP | Price is around VWAP – neutral zone | ⚪ Gray |
| +1σ | Slightly Above| Slightly above VWAP – weak bullish | 🟢 Lime Green |
| +2σ | Above | Above VWAP – bullish signal | 🟢 Green |
| +3σ | Far Above | Strongly above VWAP – potentially overbought | 🟦 Teal |

This **compact summary in the table** provides a clear situational view while keeping the chart clean.

### ⚙️ User Customization

Users can configure:

- **VWAP σ Multiplier** (default 0.1) to set the width of the optional VWAP band on the chart.
- **Table Position** (Top Center, Bottom Right, etc.).
- **Text Size** and **Text Color**.
- **Hide VWAP logic**: VWAP data can be hidden automatically on higher timeframes (e.g., daily or weekly).
- **Enable/disable the VWAP ±σ band lines** (optional visual aid).

---

### 📐 Technical Highlights

- VWAP is recalculated each day using `ta.vwap(hlc3, isNewPeriod, 1)`.
- The band width uses standard deviation and the selected multiplier: `VWAP ± σ * multiplier`.
- Table updates dynamically with the new VWAP values each day.
- To **avoid floating-point rounding issues**, `vwapDelta` is rounded before comparison, ensuring correct background color display.

---

### ✅ Why Use This?

- Keeps your chart **visually clean and readable**.
- Gives **immediate context** to current price action relative to VWAP.
- Helps **discretionary traders** or **scalpers** decide whether price is stretched too far from the mean.
- Easier than tracking multiple σ bands manually.

---

### Example Usage:

- On intraday timeframes, you can identify price exhaustion as it hits ±2σ or ±3σ.
- On a 5-minute chart, if price touches `+3σ`, you may consider taking profits on longs.
- On reversal setups, watch for price at `-3σ` with bullish divergence.

---

### 🧩 Future Enhancements (Optional Ideas)

- Add alerts for when `vwapDelta` crosses thresholds like ±2σ or ±3σ.
- Let user select the timeframe for VWAP source (e.g., 1H, 5M, etc.).
- Extend to display VWAP on session or weekly basis.
