the indicator plots VWAP with 4 Standard Deviation bands.
in fund, volume-weighted average cost (VWAP) is the ratio of the value traded to overall volume traded within a
specific time horizon (usually 1 day). it is a measure of the average price at which a stock is traded over the trading horizon.
VWAP is often used as a trading standard by investors who purpose to be as passive as you can in their implementation. many
pension funds, and some mutual funds, fall into this category. The aim of using a VWAP trading goal is to ensure that the dealer executing
the order does so in-line with volume on the market. It is sometimes argued that such execution reduces transaction costs by minimizing
market impact costs (the additional cost due to the market impact, i.e. the adverse effect of a trader’s activities on the price of a
security).
VWAP is often used in algorithmic trading. Trading algorithms that use VWAP as a target belong to a class of algorithms known
as volume participation algorithms.
