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.

The possible values for Precision are as follows:
