# 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)
|
|
|
|
## Plots
|
|
|
|
**VWAP**: The volume weighted average price. (Default: Yellow Solid Line 3px)
|
|
|
|
**Upper Standard Deviation**: The upper standard deviation of price from VWAP. (Default: Transparent Solid Line 3px)
|
|
|
|
**Lower Standard Deviation**: The lower standard deviation of price from VWAP. (Default: Transparent Solid Line 3px)
|
|
|
|
The standard deviation levels are transparent by default.
|
|
|
|
To view them, just assign them any other color in the indicator settings.
|
|
|
|
Note that there is currently only 1 standard deviation that can be plotted above and below VWAP.
|
|
|
|
If you need more than that, you can add multiple instances of the indicator to the chart and assign a different multiplier to each.
