I believe the arrows are quite delayed, I ran on on demand. How delayed is the anchored vwap? Thanks

This is something I did awhile ago that might work. You can either choose to have the vwap plotted using the current chart agg or a higher agg. Input a date that is on the chart. If the date is not on the chart, it will plot the VWAP for the whole chart displayed.

Hey SleepyZ/everyone, thanks for this. Wondering if you can help clarify what/how the aggregation period is used. I tried it, and it doesn't look different than regular vwap. I was looking for an update to have the VWAP anchored automatically to a specific time interval. Similar to the High/Low, but in my case, every 30m/hour, etc.

An ANCHORED Vwap is ANCHORED to a specific date. The script in the top post is ANCHORED to: April 22nd 2020.
You need to changed it to the period that you want it anchored to.

Hey Merry, Yes, got that. I was referring to this script: https://usethinkscript.com/threads/anchored-vwap-indicator-for-thinkorswim.171/post-79795

it shows an aggregation period of 15m, i was wondering why that would be since the vwap is focused on day unless time is entered.

Also, i wanted to see if the script can be updated to have it set the time automatically to a specific interval (ie 30m/hour) instead of manual input.

thanks.

You can either choose to have the vwap plotted using the current chart agg or a higher agg. Input a date that is on the chart. If the date is not on the chart, it will plot the VWAP for the whole chart displayed. No workaround for the manually entering the anchor date or using the whole chart

Is it possible to somehow make the indicator continue to draw a line?

I'm trying to combine 2 scripts to make an automated Anchored VWAP at the Futures Pre-market high and low points. I primarily use a 2000-Tick chart to trade either ES or NQ. I understand may need to make 2 separate indicators or add code to what I have. I want Line 33 (Pre-market low point) to be the input answer for Line 36, where an Anchored VWAP would plot for that day. And then I want to get Line 28 to be the input for an Anchored VWAP at Pre-market high point.

1. Define your logic map of where to plot the line

If condition 1 then x else y

if condition 2 then a else b etc..

2. Insert your defined logic into one of the horizontal line scripts found:

Anchored VWAP indicator can useful for intraday trading. It can also be used on any timeframe including hourly, daily, and weekly. VWAP can be a great tool for analyzing the market, especially for day traders.

Here we have different Anchored VWAP indicators for ThinkorSwim. Feel free to test them out and use any that fits your trading style.

Anchored VWAP with adjustable date and time

Code:

input anchorDate = 20200422;
input anchorTime = 2030;

def tradeStartEST = 0930;
def tradeEndEST = 1600;
def inPeriod = if SecondsTillTime(tradeStartEST) <= 0 and SecondsTillTime(tradeEndEST) > 0 then 1 else 0;

def revisedDate = if SecondsTillTime(anchorTime)<=0 and !inPeriod then anchorDate+1 else if SecondsTillTime(anchorTime)<=0 and inPeriod then anchorDate else anchorDate;

def postAnchorDate = if GetYYYYMMDD() >= revisedDate then 1 else 0;
def postAnchorTime = if SecondsTillTime(anchorTime) <= 0 then 1 else 0;

plot anchoredVWAP = TotalSum(if postAnchorDate and postAnchorTime then ((high+low+close)/3)*(volume) else 0)/TotalSum(if postAnchorDate and postAnchorTime then volume else 0);

anchoredVWAP.setStyle(Curve.Firm);
anchoredVWAP.SetLineWeight(3);
anchoredVWAP.SetDefaultColor(Color.Cyan);

#AddChartBubble(yes,close, revisedDate, color.yellow);

Intraday Anchored VWAP

Code:

#yakBro intraday anchoredVWAP excluding extended hours volume 2019

declare hide_on_daily;

def anchorTime = 0930;
def anchorEnd = 1600;

input ShowTodayOnly = yes;
def Today = if GetDay() == GetLastDay() then 1 else 0;
def postAnchorTime = if SecondsFromTime(anchorTime) >= 0 then 1 else 0;
def endAchorTime = if SecondsTillTime(anchorEnd) >= 0 then 1 else 0;

#plot anchorVWAP for intraday
def  volumeSum = compoundValue(1, if postAnchorTime and endAchorTime then volumeSum[1] + volume else 0, volume);
def  volumeVwapSum = compoundValue(1, if postAnchorTime and endAchorTime then volumeVwapSum[1] + volume * vwap else 0, volume * vwap);

plot anchorVWAP = if ShowTodayOnly and !Today then Double.NaN else if anchorTime then volumeVwapSum / volumeSum else Double.NaN;
anchorVWAP.setStyle(Curve.Firm);
anchorVWAP.setDefaultColor(Color.light_ORANGE);
anchorVWAP.setlineWeight(2);

My title may not make a lot of sense, but let me explain it.

As you know, with the anchored VWAP, you can anchor it at any date you want. I've been trying to translate this specific date code over to a VWAP w/ Standard Deviation Bands indicator I found on this website, but to no avail. The VWAP w/ SD Bands indicator only allows me to choose between: year, day, week and quarter. I don't want any of those, I want to pick the date where the bands and VWAP start, similar to an anchored VWAP. For example, I want the date to start at the bottom of the COVID March crash, March 23, 2020. Any ideas?

EDIT
https://www.tradingview.com/script/h8mk3PRk-Anchored-VWAP-w-STD-bands/
Here's an indicator in tradingview, with the idea I'm talking about, where it lets you anchor it at whatever date you want.

Is it possible to AVWAP just attach to LOD and HOD and not keep changing to pivots, if not in this code may be another one, Intraday just 2 lines one attached to LOD and other to HOD. Thank you

1. Define your logic map of where to plot the line

If condition 1 then x else y
if condition 2 then a else b etc..
2. Insert your defined logic into one of the horizontal line scripts found:

This is the #Anchored_VWAP2 indicator.
We have 3 types of lines vwaps, which are drawn from the high (VwapH), from the low (VwapL) and from the close (VwapC). The length is set to " Lookback period for finding swing highs, lows.", I have 100 on my screen.
Lines are reset each time a new pivot is found.
There is also VwapH2, VwapL2, VwapC2. Dashed lines that continue to be calculated until the next pivot and are also reset.
Is it possible to somehow correct the code so that they continue to calculate further until one more turn (as in the figure)? I named it VwapC3.

#Anchored_VWAP2
#linus, 2014-03-10, v0.1

#10:24 linus: it carries over the previous pivot's lines for high, low and close. (it plots vwaps of the high, low and close that are reset each time a new pivot is found.)
#10:25 linus: i wrote it to experiment with vwap as stops. (the high and low vwaps that can be offset by the ticks input.)
#10:25 linus: but it should serve as an example of how to reset the vwaps based on a signal.
#10:35 linus: #hint: VWAP stops anchored off fractalTrader pivots.
#10:37 linus: the code calculates the pivots as PivH and PivL, and then restarts the high, low and close vwaps when it finds a new pivot. Otherwise it continues to calculate the high, low and close vwaps.
#10:37 linus: the dashed vwap plots are the saved from the previous pivot, and the solid vwap plots are since the last pivot.

Can the Anchored Vwap stops code be adjusted to only plot the last anchored vwap ?
Anchored VWAP Stops

PT_Scalper · Feb 19, 2022

Hi all,

I have the following code for anchored VWAP;

input AnchorTime = 0930;
input AnchorEndTime = 1600;
input ShowTodayOnly = yes;

def Today = if GetDay() == GetLastDay() then 1 else 0;
def PostAnchorTime = if SecondsFromTime(AnchorTime) >= 0 then 1 else 0;
def EndAnchorTime = if SecondsTillTime(AnchorEndTime) >= 0 then 1 else 0;

def VolumeSum = CompoundValue(1, if PostAnchorTime and EndAnchorTime then VolumeSum[1] + Volume else 0, Volume);
def VolumeVWAPSum = CompoundValue(1, if PostAnchorTime and EndAnchorTime then VolumeVWAPSum[1] + Volume * VWAP else 0, Volume * VWAP);

plot AnchorVWAP = if ShowTodayOnly and !Today then Double.NaN else if AnchorTime then VolumeVWAPSum / VolumeSum else Double.NaN;
AnchorVWAP.setstyle(curve.firm);
AnchorVWAP.setdefaultColor(color.Magenta);
AnchorVWAP.setlineWeight(2);

Does anyone know if there is a way to dynamically make the start time the "High of Day" (or "Low of Day") instead of manually changing the time?

This would be a phenomenal study as it would work on any and all charts. Otherwise all other Anchored VWAP studies that I have ever seen, you have to manually modify the time for every single chart.

@SleepyZ absolutely amazing! I missed this one for sure. Thank you so MUCH!

Question for you... does it matter if the HOD/LOD is Pre-Market instead of market hours?

You're welcome! Currently it starts looking in Pre-Market.

Hi @SleepyZ,

What do I need to change in the code to look back to 2 days for the anchored VWAP? Looking for a 2 day anchored vwap option instead of the 1 day.

I tried to change the GetYYYYMMDD()[1] to GetYYYYMMDD()[2] throughout the code but that didn't work.
