Is there any way to extend into today's trading day yesterday's VWAP areas?

We can do this for TPO value area, for VP value area, OHLC but I can't find any for VWAP.

Anyone?

If I become half a percent smarter each year, I'll be a genius by the time I die

I do not use SierraCharts, but just want to contribute a chart that shows some of the VWAP lines from yesterday extended to today. I have not extended all lines, but just the VWAP itself and the 1SD-bands. The area between those bands can be considered as value area.

For further reference the indicator shows the VWAP over the prior 2 and prior 3 days, which shows me where the prior value was.

I like Tom's solution, but here is another that uses built in studies:

1) Create a chart with a date range that ends with yesterday's trade date. Plot VWAP as usual on this.
2) Create your primary chart and use the Study/Price Overlay , and reference the VWAP study in the other chart.
3) In the settings for Study/Price Overlay, set the option "Fill Blanks with last value" to Yes.

The only disadvantage is that you must manually update the end date at the end of every day, but it only takes about 5 seconds to do this if you don't mind.

There's now a better way to do this: ECIVWAP. This is user contributed custom study that comes with newer versions. It's native in SC, and does not require manual work at the end of the day.

Hi,

I've uploaded on nexusfi.com (formerly BMT) my latest ECIVwap that does what you want on Sierra.
You can download it here

Thanks!
Scott

Hi @Scott,

Drawing yesterday value on current day is already posssible with sierra Volume/Tpo value area studies.

I tried to use them the issue is it resets after x periods ... ( I set it to minutes and x period length and it resets every x periods) it's like your anchor. I emailed SC support without a response. I would like the value lines and vpoc setup like your channels along with the deviation lines.

Thanks
Scott
