Hi,

I'm looking for VWAP with +1 and +2 standard deviation bands for Sierra Chart. I found a thread (thx Google) that suggests this study is built-in to SC, but I can't find the study anywhere.

https://www.sierrachart.com/supportboard/showthread.php?t=27627

If it has been renamed, I am not finding it. There is a Volume Weighted Average Price study, but no 'bands' for std dev to wrap around it.

Mike

Sorry, but I'm not seeing anything for VWAP + StdDev bands. What am I missing?



This was F6 -> Add Custom Study -> Expand first one "Sierra Chart Custom Studies and Examples" (which really looks like the default list before pressing 'add custom study' anyway...

You can check it here it's a dll study of Scottorama on vwap bands, if you wish we can compare them with mine NT if they match.

OK good. This appears to be stddev 1, 2,3 and will work nicely.

Thx

Mike,

I don't know how is your study with SC but you need to be carefull with the session templates, your vwap and SD's seem to plot different than mine. Actually my vwap is 1.3581 +1SD 1.3618 +2SD 1.3654

Thanks, I will check it. I am using a 24/7 session template in SC, but maybe it is using PC time to calculate instead of exchange time? Just a thought.

I just update to latest version, looks like they move the study to user folder to make it clear it is not created by SC.

I modified it so you can select the specific start time you want to use. Seems to make more sense to me.
