The Current Day VWAP is the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of a security for the current day’s trading session. The VWAP gives a fair reflection of the market conditions throughout the trading day and is probably the most popular benchmark used by large traders.
The Current Day VWAP can be set to calculate for the entire trading day or it can be set to calculate for custom hours such as the regular session only. The VWAP further comes with volume-weighted standard deviation bands or quarter range bands. Although the VWAP uses volume information, it is best set to “Calculate” = “On price change”. It is not necessary to recalculate it with each incoming tick.
Trading hours template: The trading hours template should be set to <instrument settings> or any other trading hours template that reflects the contractual trading hours of the instrument.
Full_Session: The VWAP will be calculated for the full session as selected per trading hours template.
Custom_Hours: You may select custom hours for calculating the VWAP in different time zones.
Standard_Deviation: The volatility bands are calculated as a selectable multiple of the standard deviation, where the standard deviation is calculated for the selected session.
Quarter_Range: The volatility bands are calculated as a selectable multiple of the quarter range for the current session.
Accuracy: The indicator calculates both VWAP and volatility bands from the primary bars shown on the chart. All data points of each bar are used for the calculation in order to obtain the best possible result. However, accuracy also depends on the chart resolution. Accuracy increases as trading volume accumulates. Therefore it is recommended to select an early anchor point and only use VWAP and volatility bands once they have stabilized.

June 9th, 2017 11:10 AM mercyj does anyone know why I can't set the autoscale to FALSE? it's greyed out. and the pivots are all wacko on the chart
October 28th, 2024 01:07 PM vickisb Why does this yield slightly different results than the NT8 default Order Flow VWAP deviation bands? I'm setting the ban
ds to 2, 3 & 4 std deviations.
Also, are we supposed to be able to set the quarter range values? I can't set them in the indicator, but when using the
indicator in strategy, I can choose different values. How should I set them to duplicate the indicator I'm seeing on my
chart?
August 14th, 2024 10:06 PM ramado Nice! Thanks for sharing!
