Overview

Anchored VWAP accumulates the typical price (HLC3) weighted by volume and resets the calculation at the start of a session, week, month, or year. It also plots bands one, two, and three standard deviations above and below that mean. The only setting chooses the anchor period. Weekly anchors start on Monday, and overnight sessions shift the trading day. It reads daily data with lookahead enabled, so the anchor can use future daily information.

Risk Notes

  • Signals can change on the live bar or after it closes (repainting)
  • Reads higher-timeframe data with lookahead on, so the history can show signals that were not there in real time
