Description
The Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) is calculated using the following formula:
where sizei is the volume traded at pricei.
The VWAP plot is accompanied with two bands serving as overbought and oversold levels. The Upper band (overbought level) is plotted a specified number of standard deviations above the VWAP, and the Lower band (oversold level) is plotted similarly below the VWAP. Standard deviations are based upon the difference between the price and VWAP.
