When I use the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) indicator on my intraday chart, I only want it to calculate from the regular-session open to the regular-session close. To do this, I’ve been disabling the evening session in Chart Setting and setting the Start Date-Time in the VWAP study to 09:30:00. However, doing this also affects the way my moving averages are calculated and displayed, since they then use only regular-session data. What I want is for VWAP to calculate only from the regular session (open to close), while my moving averages continue to use the full 24-hour data. I’ve tried several different approaches but haven’t found a way to achieve this. How can I set this up? |

There's probably a better way but you can try this... Assuming the moving averages and VWAP studies are all on the same chart... Duplicate the chart. On the new chart: Use both day and evening sessions. The moving average studies will calculate the way you want, and you'll overlay these onto the original chart. You can delete the VWAP study from this chart - you don't need it anymore. Minimize this chart - you don't need to see it but you want it working in the background. On the original chart: This will be the destination chart, the one you look at. Set this to only show the day session. Hide or delete the original moving average studies. Keep the VWAP study. Add the Study/Price Overlay study (one for each moving average) to overlay the moving averages from the new chart onto the destination chart. Study/Price Overlay Study: Study/Price Overlay Study OR you can do the reverse, copy the charts and overlay just the VWAP from the new chart (day session only) onto the original with the moving averages (day and evening sessions). You'll have to play around with draw styles doing it this way. Hope this helps. |
