Multi-Day VWAP Indicator for ThinkorSwim

Does anyone have a multi-day VWAP indicator that will show the 1 HR VWAP, multi-day vwap, YTD vwap for instance on any time frame ? I'm looking for the daily VWAP on the 1 min chart and also to add an hourly VWAP or multi-day VWAP. Thanks

Will the Anchored VWAP script work in this case?

VWAP already has day,week, and month. Do not think an hourly is possible. Maybe describe the exact VWAP periods you want and see what might show up. For what purpose ??????

This is pretty good Hourse Rider, what I would like to add is a Hourly VWAP and even 15 min, simply for support and resistance levels intraday, I can use Darvas Boxes but VWAP I think is the "true" price. Thanks Horse Rider
 
Well it's a "cumulative " indicator. The daily shows the daily thus far based on V and P I'm looking to go back the last 15 min or hr not just the cumulative VWAP for the day. I appreciate your efforts, I'll see what I can come up with. Thanks again Horse Rider
 
@Stephan908vkt 2 day VWAP

Code:
input numDevDn = -2.0;
input numDevUp = 2.0;
input timeFrame = {default TWO_DAY, DAY, THREE_DAY,WEEK, MONTH};
input showbubbles = yes;
input bubbleoffset = 2;

def cap = getAggregationPeriod();
def errorInAggregation =
    timeFrame == timeFrame.DAY and cap >= AggregationPeriod.WEEK or
    timeFrame == timeFrame.WEEK and cap >= AggregationPeriod.MONTH;
assert(!errorInAggregation, "timeFrame should be not less than current chart aggregation period");

def yyyyMmDd = getYyyyMmDd();
def periodIndx;
switch (timeFrame) {
case DAY:
    periodIndx = yyyyMmDd;
case TWO_DAY:
    periodIndx = Floor((daysFromDate(first(yyyyMmDd)) + getDayOfWeek(first(yyyyMmDd))) / 2);
case THREE_DAY:
    periodIndx = Floor((daysFromDate(first(yyyyMmDd)) + getDayOfWeek(first(yyyyMmDd))) / 3);
case WEEK:
    periodIndx = Floor((daysFromDate(first(yyyyMmDd)) + getDayOfWeek(first(yyyyMmDd))) / 7);
case MONTH:
    periodIndx = roundDown(yyyyMmDd / 100, 0);
}
def isPeriodRolled = compoundValue(1, periodIndx != periodIndx[1], yes);

def volumeSum;
def volumeVwapSum;
def volumeVwap2Sum;

if (isPeriodRolled) {
    volumeSum = volume;
    volumeVwapSum = volume * vwap;
    volumeVwap2Sum = volume * Sqr(vwap);
} else {
    volumeSum = compoundValue(1, volumeSum[1] + volume, volume);
    volumeVwapSum = compoundValue(1, volumeVwapSum[1] + volume * vwap, volume * vwap);
    volumeVwap2Sum = compoundValue(1, volumeVwap2Sum[1] + volume * Sqr(vwap), volume * Sqr(vwap));
}
def price = volumeVwapSum / volumeSum;
def deviation = Sqrt(Max(volumeVwap2Sum / volumeSum - Sqr(price), 0));

plot VWAP = price;
#plot UpperBand = price + numDevUp * deviation;
#plot LowerBand = price + numDevDn * deviation;

VWAP.setDefaultColor(getColor(6));
#UpperBand.setDefaultColor(getColor(2));
#LowerBand.setDefaultColor(getColor(4));

####Bubbles
def n = BubbleOffset;
def n1 = n + 1;
AddChartBubble(showbubbles and IsNaN(close[n]) and !IsNaN(close[n1]) , price[n1] , "VWAP 2D: " + Round(price[n1] , 2), Color.GREEN);

Hey @horserider, I'm not a consistently profitable trader so I can't really say how successful it is for me, but I took a couple SMB courses a few years ago so the way I'm using the 2-day vwap is look for a continuation move after a directional/trend day, wait for the test of the 2-day vwap and watch for a reversal. I probably didn't explain that very well so here are some screenshots

The purple line is the 2-day vwap. On 8/22, we had a strong down day, on 8/23, the plan would be to wait for a test of the 2-day vwap for a short

Strong up day on 8/9 (Friday) so on Monday I was looking for a pullback to the 2-day vwap for a long opportunity.

Here's a screenshot of the OSTK trade I took. I try not to fade it without a little bit of confirmation so for OSTK, I waited for it to get back above the intraday vwap and also the prior close

Anyway, thank you so much again for sharing your indicator.

hello there,
when i used the below shared file for multiday VWAP, it lies on top of the normal VWAP in TOS , not sure if is meant to be , or is it because it is after hour.
i was expecting to see two line one for VWAP and one for MDVWAP

Can someone help me with this script?
When I have TWO_DAY VWAP selected, it does not always work. It sometimes acts as the current VWAP. Sometimes the 3-day VWAP acts as a 2-day VWAP, other times it shows current VWAP as well.

input timeFrame = {DAY, WEEK, MONTH, default TWO_DAY, THREE_DAY};

def cap = getAggregationPeriod();
def errorInAggregation =
timeFrame == timeFrame.DAY and cap >= AggregationPeriod.WEEK or
timeFrame == timeFrame.WEEK and cap >= AggregationPeriod.MONTH;
assert(!errorInAggregation, "timeFrame should be not less than current chart aggregation period");

def yyyyMmDd = getYyyyMmDd();
def periodIndx;
switch (timeFrame) {
case DAY:
periodIndx = yyyyMmDd;
case WEEK:
periodIndx = Floor((daysFromDate(first(yyyyMmDd)) + getDayOfWeek(first(yyyyMmDd))) / 7);
case MONTH:
periodIndx = roundDown(yyyyMmDd / 100, 0);
case TWO_DAY:
periodIndx = Floor((daysFromDate(first(yyyyMmDd)) + getDayOfWeek(first(yyyyMmDd))) / 2);
case THREE_DAY:
periodIndx = Floor((daysFromDate(first(yyyyMmDd)) + getDayOfWeek(first(yyyyMmDd))) / 3);
}
def isPeriodRolled = compoundValue(1, periodIndx != periodIndx[1], yes);

def volumeSum;
def volumeVwapSum;
def volumeVwap2Sum;

if (isPeriodRolled) {
volumeSum = volume;
volumeVwapSum = volume * vwap;
volumeVwap2Sum = volume * Sqr(vwap);
} else {
volumeSum = compoundValue(1, volumeSum[1] + volume, volume);
volumeVwapSum = compoundValue(1, volumeVwapSum[1] + volume * vwap, volume * vwap);
volumeVwap2Sum = compoundValue(1, volumeVwap2Sum[1] + volume * Sqr(vwap), volume * Sqr(vwap));
}
def price = volumeVwapSum / volumeSum;

plot VWAP = price;

See if this study from Growex @Thinkscript Lounge that I modified to allow you to choose the number of days to include in the vwap.

Ruby:
input days   = 3;
def ymd      = GetYYYYMMDD();
def ok       = !IsNaN(close);
def capture  = ok and ymd != ymd[1];
def dayCount = CompoundValue(1, if capture
                                then dayCount[1] + 1
                                else dayCount[1], 0);
def thisDay  = (HighestAll(dayCount) - dayCount) + 1;

#hint:Plots the deviation channels based on the price-times-volume consideration. This may be called the dispersion of price-volume data.
#VM_MIDAS_StandartDeviationBands coded by Growex;
def Data = BarNumber();#Barnumber at the bar being calculated
def Start_Bar = if thisday[1]==days+1 and thisday==days then barnumber() else start_bar[1];

input price = close;
def Start_Cond =  Data >= highestall(Start_Bar);#If true plotting is happening
def Price_x_Vol = if Start_Cond then Price_x_Vol[1] + price * volume else 0;#Cumulative Price times Volume
def cumvolume = if Start_Cond then cumvolume[1] + volume else 0;# Cumulative volume
plot Equiv_price = Price_x_Vol / cumvolume;# The equivalent price
def bars = data - Start_Bar;
def sample = if Start_Cond then sample[1] + sqr(price - Equiv_price) else 0;# Sum of the Square-Root of difference between the current price and the equivalent price. This also may be called the statistical total variance
def var = sample/bars;# Variance per bar
def dev = sqrt(var);# By statistical-definition, the standard deviation (SD) equals the square root of the variance
plot UBand = Equiv_price + dev;# The 1-deviation upper band
plot LBand = Equiv_price -  dev;# The 1-deviation lower band
plot UBand2 = Equiv_price + 2 * dev;# The 2-deviation upper band
plot LBand2 = Equiv_price - 2 * dev;# The 2-deviation lower band
plot UBand3 = Equiv_price + 3 * dev;# The 3-deviation upper band
plot LBand3 = Equiv_price - 3 * dev;# The 1-deviation lower band
#end
 
I suppose technically it would be a “2 day anchored vwap”, but instead of anchoring the point myself, the script auto anchors 2 day, 3 day, week,

Apologies if this one has been discussed in any detail, I’m having trouble finding similar threads. I’m very interested in using multi timeframe VWAP, but the few bits of script I have used don’t work properly all the time, seemingly on Mondays. I think its the way the data is being pulled in the code, which wouldn’t account for the weekend. I have played around with adjusting the timeframe on the charts themselves, and after Monday it appears to work, but its a bit of a pain and very perplexing.

Is there any strings or commands I can add that would adjust the aggregate I am pulling from to offset this? Anyone have a multi timeframe VWAP study that takes this into account? When it works, it is a great indicator. 2 day and 5 day vwap in particular are very strong.

Much appreciated!
