Scroll Prev Top Next More

The VWAP indicator (Volume Weighted Average Price) will operate on any bar interval available in Technician. It will calculate and plot the VWAP line (using a Time Weighted Average Price algorithm) as well as up to three user-defined Standard Deviation bands. When used with an intraday chart, the VWAP calculation is cumulative throughout the day and will automatically reset on each new day. When used with Daily, Weekly, or Monthly charts, the VWAP and Standard Deviation plots will be based on a rolling lookback period that you define (default is 20 bars).
