This member is the original thread starter. VWAP Indicator with 1SD and 2SD bands

Guys I am not a TS coding guru by any means...still new at it but wanted to share this code if anyone else was interested. Just wrote this code for myself to keep up with JPERL's threads on Market Statistics. It plots the VWAP, and 1st and 2nd Standard Deviation bands. It lines up with his numbers within a tick or two so I think it is working correctly.

Any other TS coders out there please take a look because it can probably be improved upon.

This is my first...

Re: VWAP Indicator with 1SD and 2SD bands

Thanks Cooter and Blowfish for your help...finally got ADE working and I can see the PVP on my minute charts with the VWAP and SD bands...appreciate the knowledge on this board!

Testing it out now for a few days.

Re: VWAP Indicator with 1SD and 2SD bands

Could someone tell me which of these SD bands look correct (yellow or blue). Actually I cant work out why they differ as the actual formula I use is the same in both, I just am summing the bars slightly differently.

Be really great full if someone could compare with ensigns finishing values. Note that the YM chart ends at 3.15pm central

Cheers.
Nick

Re: VWAP Indicator with 1SD and 2SD bands

OK figured out what was wrong with the last two indicators but have come up with something that I think is OK.

The reason for this is that there are some performance issues with the indicator here as it has to scan the series back to the days start when there is a new tick. Applying it to a tick chart (especially at the end of the day) it slows right down.

Anyway I figured there should be a way to do it using running statistics and indeed there is. There is a side benefit to doing it this way as you don't get cumulative rounding errors (according to the signal processing guys). This does not get rid of the sampling inaccuracy that Nick mentions earlier in the thread.

I'd welcome comments? I wonder if rounding errors would explain the 2 or 3 ticks difference?

Re: VWAP Indicator with 1SD and 2SD bands

One last chart a 1 tick of the same period as the last post (yesterdays ER2). Looks good to me? It is much much quicker this way and its plausible to run it on 1 tick charts (meaning complete accuracy is attainable if desired). If it looks good enough I'll upload it.

Incidentally watching PvP for the last week or two and comparing tick precise with 1 & 2 minutes I think I might have changed my mind - tick precise would have kept you out of a couple of bad trades due to quicker 'flipping'

Cheers

Re: VWAP Indicator with 1SD and 2SD bands

Hi there,

See your PM's. Am travelling at the moment but the current work is complete however I now want to incorporate multi day stuff and a histogram. The stuff that DBNTina is absolutely fine btw it ust cane be a little sluggish loading up...results are pretty much the same. That should do as a stopgap.

Cheers,
Nick

Re: VWAP Indicator with 1SD and 2SD bands

Does anyone know whether the VWAP indicator downloadable from this thread is almost 100% accurate? Or does it need further adjustments?

Thanks.

Its 100% accurate on tick charts. To be honest on 2 minute charts its fine too. Its actually the PvP that can change characteristics on 2 minute bars. Dbntina posted an indicator that gets round that by using ADE to take data from a tick chart and push it to an X minute chart.

Cheers.
