VWAP vs Sweep

NQ VWAP Indicator vs Liquidity Sweep: Match Setup to Day Type

The edge is in setup selection. Do not force one model into every regime.

Choose setup by day type so strategy selection becomes systematic.

VWAP reversion favors rotational days. Sweeps favor obvious extreme grabs. Regime filter comes first.
