Description

An anchored VWAP that re-anchors automatically at each new ZigZag rotation point — no manual adjustment required. Separate studies for up-waves and down-waves ensure the VWAP is always anchored at the structurally relevant pivot for the current wave direction.

UP and DOWN Studies

StudyAnchored AtRole
PVA-WAP UPRotation LOWSupport level during upwaves
PVA-WAP DOWNRotation HIGHResistance level during downwaves

Price above the VWAP during an upwave means buyers remain in control — the VWAP acts as support. Price breaking below signals sellers gaining ground. The reverse applies for downwaves.

Volume Weighting

High-volume bars contribute proportionally more weight to the VWAP calculation, reflecting where institutional activity was concentrated. The result is a consensus price that gravitates toward where significant trading actually occurred.

Key Properties

  • No repainting — once calculated, VWAP values are fixed; the anchor only moves when the Control Study confirms a new pivot
  • Dynamic updates — follows new pivots in real time
  • Multi-configuration — PRO version supports Ref1–Ref4 for multiple independent VWAP instances on one chart

Requirements

  • Sierra Chart trading platform
  • ofv Control Study (included) — provides ZigZag pivot detection and wave direction
