I would like to see the VWAP Study only for the actual day.
Now I see I can choose the date when to start the study, but seems I would need to adjust that every day. Is there a way just to tell the study to only draw eg from yesterday and use that "yesterday" instead of a fixed date?

I would do it on this way:
One chart with the VWAP study and days to load = 2
Second chart with the study "Study/ Price Overlay"

see attached Cht

You could do it with the Spreadsheet Study study, and no supporting charts.

Could you please send the screen (your VWAP settings), how you set it up? I want to try something about it.

7 years later ... I asume there is still no way to have the VWAP study automatically set to "start date" = today? I just want to see the study for actual day, starting with session start.
I can change that manually of course, but for couple of CB and charts - easier would be something like the avove suggested. :-)

The Volume Weighted Average Price study uses the Chart Settings' Session Start Time as the daily anchor, but uses the Evening Start Time if 'Use Evening Session' is set to Yes.

This assumes the study settings 'Time Period Type' and 'Time Period Length' are set to Days, 1 ... and there is no date in 'Start Date-Time'

To only display the VWAP for the current day, do this:
Add the Spreadsheet Formula study
- Hide the VWAP study.
- Set the Chart Region to 1.
- Set 'Draw Zero Values' to No.
- Use a formula like this in its Formula field:
=IF(AND(BARDATE=TODAY(),BARTIME>=TIME(9,30,0),BARTIME<TIME(16,30,0)),ID1.SG1,0)
where the VWAP study is ID1.
