Traditional VWAP always begins its calculation with the first bar of the trading day and concludes with the final bar of the same day, limiting it exclusively to intraday charts. Anchored VWAP, by contrast, allows the trader to specify the exact starting bar, and the calculation continues forward indefinitely, extending across multiple days, weeks, or even months. This flexibility makes AVWAP suitable for swing traders, position traders, and long-term investors, not just day traders.
: Ride the trend as long as price remains on the correct side of your anchor line. Take partial profits at major historical resistance levels, but leave a runner until the AVWAP line is broken. Summary for Quick Execution
