But to understand VWAP in a simple manner here is a video from marketvision which explains VWAP in plain english which brings more visibility on the hidden facts of VWAP.

Hi, Raj,
I’ve tried to calculate Vwap of 2 days,
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);
Plot (VWAP,”VWAP”,colorOrange, styleThick);
I’ve tried to multiply Day()*2, but is shows error.
help me out here.
