The indicator's calculation is based on the cumulative volume multiplied by the typical price, divided by the total volume. This calculation is performed during the entire trading session, making it particularly useful for intraday trading.
The relationship between the current price and the VWAP can indicate the prevailing market direction. When prices are below the indicator, it suggests a downward trend, while prices above the indicator indicate an upward trend. As the VWAP calculates the volume-weighted price, its values correspond to high-liquidity intervals, helping to identify potential activity points of major market participants.
VWAP does not directly indicate large orders but highlights price levels with relatively high volume due to the high liquidity required by major players for transactions. It can also assist in determining market entry levels; long orders below the indicator may offer a good entry point, while short orders above the indicator suggest selling above the average price level.
This indicator has been implemented in MQL4 and is a valuable tool for intraday traders to assess market trends and potential entry points.
