Daily VWAP Indicator (Volume Weighted Average Price)
Description
The Daily VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) indicator calculates the average price of an asset each trading day, weighted by trading volume. Used extensively by institutional and professional traders, the Daily VWAP is a key reference point for identifying the average price trend based on trade volume, making it a powerful indicator for buy and sell decisions.
How Does It Work?
The Daily VWAP calculates the volume-weighted average price of an asset each day, using the Typical Price as the base. The Typical Price is the simple average of each candle's high, low, and close prices:
Typical Price = (High + Low + Close) / 3
Calculation Methodology
With each new candle, the indicator accumulates the value of (Typical Price * Volume) and divides it by the total volume to get the current VWAP:
VWAP = (Σ(Typical Price * Volume)) / Σ(Volume)
At the start of each new trading day, the indicator resets, beginning a fresh calculation for the session. This daily reset provides a clear and independent VWAP reading each day, unaffected by previous sessions' data.
Main Benefits
- Accurate Price Analysis: The VWAP shows the average price adjusted by volume, offering a realistic view of the effective price paid throughout the day.
- Dynamic Support and Resistance Levels: The daily VWAP acts as a dynamic support or resistance line, helping traders identify market trends and reversal points.
- Institutional Flow Indicator: The VWAP is commonly used to measure whether an asset is trading above or below its average daily price, signaling buying or selling pressure, especially by large investors.
- Automatic Daily Reset: The indicator automatically resets at the start of each session, calculating the VWAP exclusively for the current day.
Who Should Use It?
The Daily VWAP is ideal for intraday traders, scalpers, and institutional investors who want to track the volume-weighted average price during each session. It is especially useful for high-volume markets, helping traders identify ideal entry and exit points and potential price reversals.
How to Interpret the Daily VWAP
The Daily VWAP can be used in several ways within your trading strategy:
- Price Above VWAP: When an asset’s price is above the VWAP, it is considered "bullish," suggesting a potential buying opportunity.
- Price Below VWAP: When the price is below the VWAP, the asset is seen as "bearish," which could indicate a selling opportunity.
- Confluence with Other Indicators: The Daily VWAP can be combined with other technical indicators like moving averages or Bollinger Bands to improve buy and sell decision accuracy.
Technical Specifications
The indicator is designed for fast, accurate readings without overloading your system. It uses optimized algorithms for continuous calculations throughout the day and automatically resets at the start of each new session, ensuring smooth real-time performance.
Conclusion
