A+ 0DTE Signal Suite [VWAP/EMA/SR/Volume] By Delta Surge

# What the indicator actually does (quick decode)

* **Bias (15-min):** Price vs VWAP and 13EMA vs 48EMA on 15m.
* **Entry engines:** recent **reclaim/reject** of VWAP/EMA13, **ORB-15** break/retest, **PDH/PDL** reclaim/break, **AVWAP-open** reclaim/reject, **inside-15** break, **squeeze release**, **liquidity sweep + reclaim**, **Delta Surge** (big candle + vol spike).
* **Score → Stars:** more confluence = higher score → ★–★★★★★.
* **Arrows/labels:** ▲/▼ and “BUY CALLS/PUTS + stars”.
* **Stops/Targets:** stop = min(VWAP, EMA13) for calls / max(VWAP, EMA13) for puts. The script marks **1R/2R** (risk multiples) and shows a small **EXIT?** hint if price gives up the “mean”.

> Translation: wait for **trend + reclaim + volume**, take the high-star signals, manage with R-multiples.

# Default settings that work well

**Timeframe:** 5-minute for decisions (1–3m only if you’re scalping); leave the 15-minute bias on.

**Inputs to keep ON:** ORB-15, PDH/PDL, AVWAP from open, Delta Surge, Squeeze (optional on very choppy days).

**Star gate:** set **Minimum Score** to **4–5** and only act on **★★★ or higher**.

**Session windows:** ON to avoid lunch chop (already in the script).

# Symbol-specific setup

## QQQ

* **Leader:** turn ON **Require Leader Confirm**
**Leader Symbol:** `CME_MINI:NQ1!` (fallback: `NASDAQ:NDX` or `AMEX:QQQ` if no futures)
**Leader TF:** 3m or 5m
* **Vol filter:** use **VXN** instead of VIX if you want (set `vixSymbol = "CBOE:VXN"` and turn ON Require VIX).
* **RVOL threshold:** **1.10–1.25**.
* **Minimum workable R (1R distance):** **0.8–1.2 QQQ points**.
* **Room check (eyeball):** to next S/R/ORB level ≥ **1.5R**.

## SPY

* **Leader:** `CME_MINI:ES1!` ON, 3–5m.
* **Vol filter:** VIX.
* **RVOL:** **1.10–1.30**.
* **Min 1R:** **0.5–0.8 SPY points**.

## SPX

* **Leader:** `CME_MINI:ES1!` ON, 3–5m.
* **Vol filter:** VIX.
* **RVOL:** **1.20–1.35** (0DTE needs juice).
* **Min 1R:** **8–12 SPX points** (quiet vs active).
* **Pro tip:** avoid signals if 15-min ATR < **2 × your R**.

## TSLA

* **Leader (optional):** QQQ (`AMEX:QQQ`) or NQ futures (`CME_MINI:NQ1!`) — pick one and keep it consistent.
* **Vol filter:** usually OFF (TSLA has its own tape), but you can keep it on VIX if you like.
* **RVOL:** **1.10–1.30**.
* **Min 1R:** **1.5–3.0 TSLA points**, or at least **¼ of 15-min ATR**.

# When to take the trade (entry checklist)

Only act when MOST boxes are checked:

1. **Trend/Bias:** 15-min bias agrees with your side (bull for calls, bear for puts).
2. **Fresh trigger:** a **reclaim/reject** or **ORB-15 retest** happened within `winBars` (default 3 bars).
3. **Location:** entry is **near VWAP/EMA13** (not in the middle of nowhere) OR it’s a proper **retest** of ORB/PDH/PDL/AVWAP.
4. **Volume:** RVOL ≥ your threshold; Delta Surge helps.
5. **Room:** at least **1.5R** to the next obvious level.
6. **Stars:** **★★★+** (ideally ★★★★/★★★★★).
7. **Leader confirms:** ON and aligned (NQ for QQQ, ES for SPY/SPX, QQQ/NQ for TSLA).
8. **Time of day:** opening drive (first 90m) or power hour; avoid mid-day unless RVOL is strong.

> **Entry:** on the printed **▲/▼** bar close (or the retest candle), set stop at min/max(VWAP, EMA13) as the script implies.

# How to manage it

* **Position size by R:** choose a dollar risk; contracts = dollar risk ÷ (R × option delta).
* **1R:** take **partial** at **1R**, move stop to **breakeven**.
* **2R:** scale more or flat the rest near 2R or the next HTF level.
* **Mean exit:** if the orange **EXIT?** prints before 1R, consider bailing or reducing.

**Option selection (0DTE):**

* Expect a drive? pick **0.45–0.55 delta**.
* Expect a grind up after reclaim? **0.30–0.40 delta**.
* If spread is ugly, step out a strike or use next-day expiry.

# Reading the signals (plain English)

* **BUY CALLS (▲) + stars:** bullish setup with confluence. More stars = more factors aligned.
* **BUY PUTS (▼) + stars:** bearish setup with confluence.
* **CALL/PUT 1R, 2R:** price hit +1× or +2× your initial risk.
* **CALL/PUT EXIT?**: momentum gave up (price crossed back through the stop reference).

# High-probability patterns to favor

1. **Reclaim + Retest + RVOL:** close above VWAP/EMA13, then a small pullback tags a level and holds — ★★★★+ often.
2. **ORB-15 break & retest with RVOL:** especially after a tight inside pre-market; take the retest.
3. **Squeeze release in bias direction:** first expansion bar with RVOL.
4. **Sweep + reclaim at a key HTF level:** wick below prior swing low then fast reclaim above VWAP/EMA13.

**Avoid:** counter-bias signals at noon, signals into a level sitting <1R away, or signals without RVOL.

# Suggested starting presets

* **QQQ:** minScore 4–5, rvThresh 1.15, Leader ON (`NQ1!`), VXN optional, act on **★★★+** only.
* **SPY:** minScore 4, rvThresh 1.15–1.25, Leader ON (`ES1!`), VIX ON, **★★★+**.
* **SPX:** minScore 5, rvThresh 1.25–1.35, Leader ON (`ES1!`), VIX ON, **★★★★+** only.
* **TSLA:** minScore 4–5, rvThresh 1.15–1.30, Leader ON (`QQQ` or `NQ1!`), **★★★+**.

# Routine for a “10/10” day (as close as trading gets)

1. **Pre-market:** mark PDH/PDL, pre-market high/low, overnight high/low (futures), and any daily SR boxes you trust.
2. **First 15m:** let ORB form; look for reclaim/reject + RVOL alignment; take ★★★★+ with room.
3. **Middle:** trade only if RVOL stays ≥ threshold and signal is at a level (retest).
4. **Power hour:** bias still intact? take the next ★★★★+ retest with room.
5. **Log it:** screenshot entry, R math, and whether 1R/2R printed; refine thresholds per symbol.

> No indicator can guarantee 10/10 winners—what this suite does is **stack edges** and make entries/exits **mechanical**. If you stick to bias + reclaim/retest + RVOL + stars + room, and manage by R, you’ll filter most of the low-odds trades and keep yourself on the strong ones.
