PipTick VWAP is our version of Volume-Weighted Average Price indicator. VWAP is the ratio between the value traded (price multiplied by number of volume traded) and total volume traded over a specific time period. It measures the average price of the instrument much better than the simple moving average. Although there are many ways how to use the VWAP, most investors use it to calculate the daily average.
The indicator works in five modes:
Moving - In this mode the PipTick WVAP works as Moving Average with the specified period.
Daily - In this mode the PipTick VWAP is calculated from the start to end of the day.
Weekly - In this mode the PipTick VWAP is calculated from the start to end of the week.
Monthly - In this mode the PipTick VWAP is calculated from the start to end of the month.
Session Time - In this mode, the user can set the start and end hour for the PipTick VWAP calculation.
How to use the PipTick VWAP indicator?
Many traders use VWAP bands in the same way as Bollinger Bands. You can look around for the reverse trades on the second and third standard deviations from the VWAP. In combination with price action or candle patterns you can achieve very good results. Of course, PipTick VWAP can also be used for benchmarking, as well as many investors are doing.
