what time frame is your chart? I am not quite sure why it's not smooth, a screenshot would be great.

If you have the VWAP set to start on the Session start, then there will be a jump in the VWAP at that time, as the VWAP will be exact price at that first bar. Refer to the following:
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) with Standard Deviation Lines

so for example if i have a full session es chart...18:00 to 17:00 with a weekly vwap on monday the vwap line can jump immensly because it begins a new weekly measurment this jump appears on the screen no matter how i define the draw style....so basically there is nothing that can eliminate that jump correct? please see attached picture

If the issue you are referring to is the actual line showing during that jump, then you can change the Draw Style to "Dash". But this will make the line itself appear a little differently. Refer to the following:
Chart Studies: Dash (ACSIL: DRAWSTYLE_DASH)

But if you want the line to display as a line as it is now, then that connection between where the jump occurs is something that will need to stay, as the data is making that jump.

@coachted

I use point/6 (you will have nothing between jumps ending points)
Try different size and see does it work for you (visually)
