# VWAP

This indicator plots the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP).

This exists because NinjaTrader's built-in VWAP indicator is not easily accessed via other NinjaScript indicators and strategies.

The built-in indicator may also not be available to NinjaTrader users unless they have purchased a lifetime license.

## Parameters

**Precision**: Whether to calculate the VWAP using every tick or just once per bar on the chart. (Default: Chart)

The possible values for **Precision** are as follows:

* Chart
* Tick

**Price**: How to determine the price used in the VWAP calculation. (Default: (High + Low + Close) / 3)

The possible values for **Price** are as follows:

* High
* Low
* Close
* (High + Low) / 2
* (High + Low + Close) / 3 [the "typical" price]
* (Open + High + Low + Close) / 4

**Standard Deviation Multiplier**: The multiplier to use when calculating the upper and lower standard deviations of VWAP. (Default: 1.0)
