    in the foll code wts the changes to be made

    Bars_so_far_today = 1 + BarsSince( Day() != Ref(Day(), -1));
    StartBar = ValueWhen(TimeNum() == 093000, BarIndex());
    TodayVolume = Sum(V,Bars_so_far_today);
    IIf (BarIndex() >= StartBar, VWAP = Sum (C * V, Bars_so_far_today ) /
    TodayVolume,0);
