FAQ

Why is VWAP primarily used for intraday trading?

Standard VWAP calculations reset at the start of each trading session. This makes it highly sensitive to the current day's cumulative volume and price action, but less relevant for long-term historical analysis unless using an 'Anchored VWAP'.

What is the difference between VWAP and a Moving Average?

A Simple Moving Average (SMA) only considers price over a set number of periods. VWAP incorporates volume, meaning a price move on high volume will impact VWAP significantly more than a move on low volume.

How do institutional traders use VWAP?

Institutions use VWAP as a target for execution. Buying below VWAP or selling above it is considered a 'good fill' because the order was executed at a price better than the market average for that day.
