Multi-Anchor VWAP
This indicator plots daily, weekly and monthly anchored VWAPs on one chart, with optional standard-deviation bands around the daily anchor.
How it works
Each VWAP accumulates volume-weighted typical price (HLC3) from its anchor point — the start of the day, week or month — and resets when a new period begins. The deviation bands are computed from the volume-weighted variance of price around the daily VWAP, so they widen naturally on volatile days. Each anchor can be toggled independently, and alert conditions fire when price crosses the daily or weekly VWAP.
Notes and limitations
VWAP is meaningful on intraday charts for the daily anchor; on higher timeframes the daily line follows each bar closely. As with all volume-derived tools, data quality depends on the market — forex volume is tick-based. A VWAP is a description of average transacted price, not a prediction of where price will go.
