Illustration with simulated data
At a glance
TapeCrest VWAP is a free indicator for NinjaTrader 8 that draws the volume weighted average price from an anchor you choose: the session, week, month, quarter or year, a rolling window or one bar you pin, with up to three pairs of deviation bands and the previous period's VWAP as a level.
The film · 1:39
In English, with subtitles. The caption under each film says what you see: recorded NQ sessions, re-drawn, or a simulation.
What it does
Session, Week, Month, Quarter and Year restart at the first bar of each period. Rolling bars keeps a moving window of the last N bars. Anchored bar starts at one bar you pick.
Note You pick the anchor bar by counting bars back from the latest bar; re-enter the number after reopening a chart.
Up to three pairs, spaced by the volume weighted standard deviation of price around the VWAP, or by a fixed percentage. Bars that traded more size count more.
The closing VWAP of the previous session, week, month, quarter or year, drawn flat across the current one.
Every line carries its price at its right-hand end, and a note at the top left says what is running: the anchor, the periods and the days loaded.
No extra data series and no Tick Replay: it reads the price and volume of the bars already on your chart, one observation per bar.
If an instrument reports no volume, or tick counts instead of volume, the indicator says so on the chart.
