I use VWAP on my main charts, though I don't truly understand it. All I know is that when price has moved significantly away from VWAP, I start looking for reversals back. Seems to work well.

Hi all,

Merry Christmas and happy holidays !

It is my first replay.

My name is Haim and my trading expertise until now (8 years)
is with Index options (TA25 is the major Index here).

After many discussions with friends I decided to trade also
with currencies like the Euro-Dollar.
Due to that I start to read this wonderful and unique forum
and hopefully, with time, to participant more (question of time… )

My first post is here because I'm trying to use great indicator
anaCurrentDayVWAPV33X4.
Please see the attachment.

I start Ninja with the last bar that you see
My question is why the bands act like this, meaning, they suddenly been closed too much
Why is that and how can I fix that ?
I did not change the parameters (except of the VWAP plot style) – all is default.

Thanks.

The volume weighted average is a calculation based on volume. Many data providers do not offer historical volume for currency pairs. In case that there is no volume, NinjaTrader will automatically assign the value 1 to every volume bar (to avoid division by zero problems). The last bar shows real-time volume, which is higher than the combined historical volume (bars of the session x 1) of all other bars of the session.

For FOREX you should therefore use the time weighted average price (TWAP) instead of the volume weighted average price (VWAP).

The indicator which you used, is an experimental version, which I had coded some 6 months ago. Please always use the updated versions, which can be found in the download section of the forum. Just search for "SessionVWAP" and "SessionTWAP".

Note that you'll need to be an Elite member of futures.io (formerly BMT) to download the new TWAP indicator.

Fat Tails,

First, I would like to thank you for many other posts in this forum.
They are very interesting, informative and effective – Thanks.

Regarding the above – Now I understand why it's happened and
how it can be fix (SessionTWAP).

For overall knowledge:
Why those providers do not offer historical volume for currency pairs ?
Maybe I'm too naive but volume is very basic information.

Lolu – Thanks for your comment.

If you have an exchange traded instrument, it is very easy to provide volume information, as all trades are cleared through the exchange. FOREX pairs are not exchange traded instruments, but the FOREX markets are decentralized and no one is capable of adding up the volume information of all those FOREX markets.

If you trade FOREX pairs through an ECN broker, it would be possible to have the volume information of that network to be transmitted, but it would be incomplete.

For FOREX therefore price data depends on the broker who supplies it, and volume data is not available. Many FOREX data feeds supply tick volume instead of real volume.

I have updated the

Hi Fat Tails! Thanks again for everything you do for us here. I am a big fan and use your indicators in my daily trading. Wanted to ask you if you saw my note about the paint bars on the indicator post? Would it be possible for you to allow the non hollow option in the code?

Thanks again

Phil
