Multiple VWAPs Intraday Chart

Hi, I'd like to create an intraday chart with three VWAPs, each starting at specific times.

The problem is that when I try to display the same VWAP study multiple times in the chart, all studies are based on the Chart Settings >> Session Times.
Only when I enter the start time AND DATE in the study does the second VWAP start once at the specified time. The next day again at Chart Settings >> Session Time. The graphical representation is also poor like you can see in the Screenshot.
I think having to enter the new date in multiple studies every day cannot be the solution.

The chart is based on XAUUSD as a CFD.

Could you please make me a suggestion how to resolve these issues? Thank you very much.

You need to set the Input for "Ignore Time Period Type and Legth" to "Yes". Refer to the following:

Unfortunately, the VWAP still behaves like an anchored VWAP despite the setting you recommended.
With the settings you see in the screenshots, the VWAPS are reacting the same way.

Unfortunately I can't see the error. Could you please take another look?

We are not understanding what exactly you are wanting, as we thought you were wanting an anchored VWAP that was set at a specific time.

Please give us more information what you are wanting to accomplish.

I would like to have a chart showing three VWAPs that automatically refresh at the same time every day.

As an example, I've included a screenshot from another program that refreshed at 8:00 AM (red line).
The green and yellow lines represent VWAPs that started the previous day and haven't refreshed yet.
Ideally, this would be presented in a clear graphical format (not like the screenshot in the first post).

Is this possible?

To do what you want you need to have a total of 4 different charts. One that will be the composite and the other three each with different Session Times so you can get the VWAP to start as you want it in each of them.

For instance, if you want a VWAP to start at 11:00 each day, then you need to have a chart that has the Session Times set so that the trading day starts at 11:00. If another VWAP needs to start at 14:00, then another chart will need to be setup with its Session Times set to start at 14:00. Put the VWAP study on each with the Input for "Ignore Time Period Type and Length" set to "No".

Then use the "Study/Price Overlay" to overlay the VWAPs from the other 3 charts to the main chart. Refer to the following:
