VWAP + Session Average Lines

-

Hi Traders & Invester

Let's understand 

hopefully useful script.


VWAP + Session Average Lines :


Volatility Weighted Average Price in the standard case is a trading indicator that measures the average trading price for the user defined period, usually a standard session (D timeframe), & is used by traders as a trend confirmation tool.


This VWAP script allows for altering of the session to higher dimensions (D, W, M) or those of lower dimension (H4, or even H1 timeframes), furthermore this script allows the lookback of data to be switched from the standard session to a user defined amount of bars (e.g. the VWAP of 200 bars as opposed to the VWAP of a standard session which contains 95 bars in M15 timeframe for 24/7 traded assets e.g. BTCUSD), lastly this script plots Session VWAP Average Lines (if true in settings) so tradaes can gauge the area of highest liquidity within a session, this can be interpreted as the fair price within a session. If Average lines are increasing and decreasing consistently like a monotonic function this singles traders interest is at higher / lower prices respectively (Bullish / Bearish bias respectively ?), However if Average lines are centered around the same zones without any major fluctuations this signals a ranging market.


VWAP calculation:


VWAP is derived from the ratio of the assets value to total volume of transactions where value is the product of typical price (Average of high, low and close bars / candles) and corresponding bar volume, value can be thought of as the dollar value traded per bar.


How is VWAP used by Institutions / Market movers:


For some context and general information, VWAP is typically used by Market movers (e.g. Hedge funds, Mutual funds) in their trade execution, as trading at the VWAP equals the area of highest market volume, trading in line with the volume of the market reduces transaction costs by minimizing market impact (extra liquidity lowers spreads and lag time between order fills), this overall improves market efficiency.


In my opinion the script is best used with its standard settings on the M15 timeframe, note as of now the script is not functional on certain timeframes, however this script is not intended to be used in these timeframes, i will try fix this code bug as soon as possible.

Let's understand this friends.  What exactly is top-down approach to investing? A top-down approach is also known as an EIC (Economy, Industry, Company) approach. The process flow of top-down investing goes like this. Is the macroeconomic situation strong in terms of high growth, low inflation, low interest rates, robust economic reforms, among others? Is the industry situation conducive to help the stock outperform? What is the demand situation, scope for innovation, pricing, creating brand value etc? Is the company having intrinsic strengths in terms of profits and solvency? What are the operating margins, efficiency ratios and the valuation of the stock? When does top-down work and when does bottom-up work? Normally, we find that large institutions and investors have their own unique preferences. But broadly, one can draw some demarcation lines. Top-down approach works when the basic approach to investing is focused on large cap. In any market, the large cap stocks tend to be mo

Hellow friends lets understand.  how Sensex is calculated  Since my early days of involvement in the stock market, I was intrigued by the number called Sensex (A BSE Index). I always wanted to know how Sensex is calculated. What is fascinating about Sensex is that, when it is rising or falling, almost all stocks Stock market I started investing in the Stock market in the year 2008. During that time, Sensex crashed more than 50%, from 20000 to 9000 points. The cause of the crash was the Subprime mortgage crisis in the US. When the index fell, even large stocks Crashed heavily.     Sensex’s rise and fall getting replicated by other stocks was a surprise for me. I wondered, what is the correlation between Sensex and individual stocks. The answer I got while researching about “how Sensex is calculated”.
