VWAP deviations as horizontal lines?

Make the vwap and its 2 standard deviations appear as self adjusting extended horizontal lines? would it be possible to make?
 
@generic Not quite... As the vwap and the deviations adjust throughout the trading day I'd like them to display as horizontal lines instead of the "typical" vwap. I think its possible...

Standard VWAP:

@Alex @germanburrito Not exactly what you want but this is the extent of my copy and paste coding skills.

Code:
input numDevDn = -2.0;
input numDevUp = 2.0;
input timeFrame = {default DAY, WEEK, MONTH};

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);
}
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));
def upper = price + numDevUp * deviation;
def lower = price + numDevDn * deviation;

def currentbar = if !isnan(close) && isnan(close[-1]) then barnumber() else double.nan;
def vwap_line = if barnumber() == currentbar then price else double.nan;
def upper_line = if barnumber() == currentbar then upper else double.nan;
def lower_line = if barnumber() == currentbar then lower else double.nan;

plot VWAP = highestall(vwap_line);
plot UpperBand = highestall(upper_line);
plot LowerBand = highestall(lower_line);

VWAP.setDefaultColor(getColor(0));
UpperBand.setDefaultColor(getColor(2));
LowerBand.setDefaultColor(getColor(4));

Saw this in the OneNote drive:

Code:
# Horizontal Line at current VWAP JQ
# chatroom request for generic
# 2020-11-18

def currentbar = if !isnan(close) && isnan(close[-1]) then barnumber() else double.nan;
def var1 = if barnumber() == currentbar then vwap else double.nan;
plot currentVWAP = highestall(var1);

#plot debug = vwap;
# That's All Folks!
 
@Soloways With this you can set the bar where you want the count to start from, youre goiont to need a bar counter that goes in the lower study

Code:
declare lower;
plot b = barnumber();
#VM_MIDAS_StandartDeviationBands;
def Data = BarNumber();
input Number_Of_Bar = 1;
input price = close;
def bar =  Data >= Number_Of_Bar;
def pv = if bar then pv[1] + price * volume else 0;
def cumvolume = if bar then cumvolume[1] + volume else 0;
plot vw = pv / cumvolume;
def bars = Data - Number_Of_Bar;
def sample = if bar then sample[1] + Sqr(price - vw) else 0;
def var = sample / bars;
def dev = Sqrt(var);

plot dev1 =  vw + dev * 2;
plot dev2 = vw - (dev * 2);
plot dev3 = vw + (dev * 1);
plot devN1 =  vw - dev * 1;


vw.setdefaultColor(color.yellow);
dev1.SetDefaultColor(Color.White);
dev2.SetDefaultColor(Color.White);
dev3.SetDefaultColor(Color.White);
devn1.SetDefaultColor(Color.White);


dev1.Setlineweight(2);
dev2.Setlineweight(2);
dev3.Setlineweight(2);
devn1.Setlineweight(2);
 
no the settings on the indicator ask for a bar number, to tell what the needed bar number you use a lower indicator
to be honest, i am completely lost
so i loaded your code you put together
and added it to XPEV 30D 1HR chart and this is what i get

so to change the bar number in the settings of the indicator.....
i understood it to be this.....

like this....

YOU NEED LOWER INDICATOR THAT TELL YOU WHAT THE NUMBER BAR YOU WANT TO START THE CALCULATION FROM IS HERES IT IS....
WHAT YOU DO IS YOU HOVER OVER THE BAR YOU WANT TO START FROM, YOU SEE THE BAR NUMBER AND YOU INPUT IT IN THE VWAP


declare lower;
plot b = barnumber();
