That's what is called for i believe. The price of the element is divided by the volume of the whole sample. This means that every time a new element arrives (bar) you need to re weight every single element in the sample with the new total volume of the sample.

 

After further review for the more robust statistical approach, I believe that the individual elements should be weighted by the bar that is being evaluated total volume and not the accumulated volume of the population.

Sorry a belated reply but to put it simply I am afraid you are wrong. You absolutely have to weight with respect to the whole sample. Well you don't have to but it has no statistical significance if you don't.

 

Having said that it does produce lines you can trade from should you desire they may well be 'good enough' too. If you review the 'trading with market statistics' threads it is discussed at some length in ac couple of places. I posted quite a few charts with different methods of calculation whilst I was trying to develop an online algorithm (single pass) to calculate weighted variance.

Someone know how to build weekly and monthly VWAP chart? Thank you!

 

You will need to jiggle the conditions that the sample is reset under...something along the lines of:-

 

 

Input:
NumberofDays (1),


if date > date[1] then
begin
n = n + 1;
if n = NumberofDays then 
begin	 //reset code goes in here
	s = 0;
	n = 0;
	VWAP1 = VWAP;
	SD1 = SD;
	VWAP = 0;
	SumWeights = 0;
	SumWeightsOld = 0;
	VWAPOld = 0;
end;

Many thanks BlowFish for your reply, i have an error when i try to compile my VWAP code, this is the code that i use:

	[LegacyColorValue = true];

vars:
	PriceW(0),
	ShareW(0),
	Count(0),
	VolWAPValue(0),
	VolWAPVariance(0),
	VolWAPSD(0),
	Class("PVP"),
	InfoMap(MapSN.New),
	MyPVP(0);


if date > date[1] then begin
	PriceW = 0;
	ShareW = 0;
	Count = -1;
	Value1 = 0;
	Value2 = 0;
	VolWAPValue = 0;
end;

PriceW = PriceW + (AvgPrice * (UpTicks+DownTicks));
ShareW = ShareW + (UpTicks+DownTicks);
Count = Count + 1;
Value3 = 0;

if ShareW > 0 then VolWAPValue = PriceW / ShareW;

	For Value1 = 0 To Count Begin
	Value2 = ((UpTicks[Value1]+DownTicks[Value1])/ShareW) * (Square(AvgPrice[Value1]-VolWAPValue));
	Value3 = Value3 + Value2;
End;

VolWAPVariance = Value3;
VolWAPSD = SquareRoot(VolWAPVariance);

Value1 = ADE.GetBarInfo(Class, GetSymbolName, ADE.TypeZeroInterval(11,1), ADE.BarID, InfoMap);
MyPVP = MapSN.Get(InfoMap, "PVP");

Plot1(VolWAPValue, "VWAP");
Plot2(VolWAPValue + VolWAPSD, "VWAP1SDUp");
   Plot3(VolWAPValue - VolWAPSD, "VWAP1SDDown");
Plot4(VolWAPValue + (2*VolWAPSD), "VWAP2SDUp");
   Plot5(VolWAPValue - (2*VolWAPSD), "VWAP2SDDown");
   	Plot6(VolWAPValue + (3*VolWAPSD), "VWAP3SDUp");
   Plot7(VolWAPValue - (3*VolWAPSD), "VWAP3SDDown");

Plot8(MyPVP, "PVP");

when i add your additional code the new VWAP is like this:

	[LegacyColorValue = true];

vars:
	PriceW(0),
	ShareW(0),
	Count(0),
	VolWAPValue(0),
	VolWAPVariance(0),
	VolWAPSD(0),

	n = 0;
	VWAP1 = VWAP;
	SD1 = SD;
	VWAP = 0;
	SumWeights = 0;
	SumWeightsOld = 0;
	VWAPOld = 0;
end;
PriceW = PriceW + (AvgPrice * (UpTicks+DownTicks));
ShareW = ShareW + (UpTicks+DownTicks);
Count = Count + 1;
Value3 = 0;

if ShareW > 0 then VolWAPValue = PriceW / ShareW;

	For Value1 = 0 To Count Begin
	Value2 = ((UpTicks[Value1]+DownTicks[Value1])/ShareW) * (Square(AvgPrice[Value1]-VolWAPValue));
	Value3 = Value3 + Value2;
End;

VolWAPVariance = Value3;
VolWAPSD = SquareRoot(VolWAPVariance);

Value1 = ADE.GetBarInfo(Class, GetSymbolName, ADE.TypeZeroInterval(11,1), ADE.BarID, InfoMap);
MyPVP = MapSN.Get(InfoMap, "PVP");

but i have an error when i try to compile

 '('  Expected 
errLine 19, errColumn 3, errLineEnd 19, errColumnEnd 3
causal study:  (Function)

 

errLine 19 it's

if date > date[1] then begin

, you know why? Thank you

You need to use ';' rather than a comma at the end of the line where you declare number of days. You'll also need to declare 'n' in variables. Finally the reset code should use the variables that need resetting from your routine. Mine actually maintains two distributions at a time plus does some other stuff.

 

I can help further if you get stuck but gotta run now.

Something like this should do if you compare carefully you should get an idea of how it works.

 

Be aware that with this algorithm if you have many many bars things can get quite slow to calculate as more data is added to the sample.

 

	[LegacyColorValue = true];

vars:
	PriceW(0),
	ShareW(0),
	Count(0),
	VolWAPValue(0),
	VolWAPVariance(0),
	VolWAPSD(0),
	Class("PVP"),
	InfoMap(MapSN.New),n(0),
	MyPVP(0);


Input:
NumberofDays (1);


if date > date[1] then
begin
n = n + 1;
if n = NumberofDays then 
begin	 //reset code goes in here
	PriceW = 0;
	ShareW = 0;
	Count = -1;
	Value1 = 0;
	Value2 = 0;
	VolWAPValue = 0;
end;
end;
PriceW = PriceW + (AvgPrice * (UpTicks+DownTicks));
ShareW = ShareW + (UpTicks+DownTicks);
Count = Count + 1;
Value3 = 0;

if ShareW > 0 then VolWAPValue = PriceW / ShareW;

	For Value1 = 0 To Count Begin
	Value2 = ((UpTicks[Value1]+DownTicks[Value1])/ShareW) * (Square(AvgPrice[Value1]-VolWAPValue));
	Value3 = Value3 + Value2;
End;

VolWAPVariance = Value3;
VolWAPSD = SquareRoot(VolWAPVariance);

Value1 = ADE.GetBarInfo(Class, GetSymbolName, ADE.TypeZeroInterval(11,1), ADE.BarID, InfoMap);
MyPVP = MapSN.Get(InfoMap, "PVP");

Plot1(VolWAPValue, "VWAP");

Input:
StartTime( 930 ),
StartMonth( 5 ),
StartDay( 1 ),
StartYear( 2011 ));

if CurrentBar = 1 then
StartCalcDate = ELDate( StartMonth, StartDay, StartYear ) ;


if (Date >= StartCalcDate and Time >= StartTime) 
or Date > StartCalcDate then

 

This fragment shows you how to do a start date. I'd have to modify it a bit to do end date and don't really have time now. It's pretty easy you would need to to do 'and not' date <= EndCalcDate etc.

Hi BlowFish,

many thanks for the codes that you posted.

I need your help with last fragment of code that you posted to have a custom start in the vwap.

The DBVWAP_SD code was like this:

 

[LegacyColorValue = true];

 

vars:

PriceW(0),

ShareW(0),

Count(0),

VolWAPValue(0),

VolWAPVariance(0),

VolWAPSD(0),

Class("PVP"),

InfoMap(MapSN.New),

MyPVP(0);

 

if date > date[1] then begin

PriceW = 0;

ShareW = 0;

Count = -1;

Value1 = 0;

Value2 = 0;

VolWAPValue = 0;

end;

 

PriceW = PriceW + (AvgPrice * (UpTicks+DownTicks));

ShareW = ShareW + (UpTicks+DownTicks);

Count = Count + 1;

Value3 = 0;

 

if ShareW > 0 then VolWAPValue = PriceW / ShareW;

 

For Value1 = 0 To Count Begin

Value2 = ((UpTicks[Value1]+DownTicks[Value1])/ShareW) * (Square(AvgPrice[Value1]-VolWAPValue));

Value3 = Value3 + Value2;

End;

 

VolWAPVariance = Value3;

VolWAPSD = SquareRoot(VolWAPVariance);

 

Value1 = ADE.GetBarInfo(Class, GetSymbolName, ADE.TypeZeroInterval(11,1), ADE.BarID, InfoMap);

MyPVP = MapSN.Get(InfoMap, "PVP");

 

Plot1(VolWAPValue, "VWAP");

Plot2(VolWAPValue + VolWAPSD, "VWAP1SDUp");

Plot3(VolWAPValue - VolWAPSD, "VWAP1SDDown");

Plot4(VolWAPValue + (2*VolWAPSD), "VWAP2SDUp");

Plot5(VolWAPValue - (2*VolWAPSD), "VWAP2SDDown");

Plot6(MyPVP, "PVP");

 

 

and I pasted your fragment of code and it became like this:

 

[LegacyColorValue = true];

 

Input:

StartTime( 930 ),

StartMonth( 5 ),

StartDay( 1 ),

StartYear( 2011 );

 

if CurrentBar = 1 then

StartCalcDate = ELDate( StartMonth, StartDay, StartYear ) ;

 

 

if (Date >= StartCalcDate and Time >= StartTime)

or Date > StartCalcDate then

 

vars:

PriceW(0),

ShareW(0),

Count(0),

VolWAPValue(0),

VolWAPVariance(0),

VolWAPSD(0),

Class("PVP"),

InfoMap(MapSN.New),

MyPVP(0);

 

if date > date[1] then begin

PriceW = 0;

ShareW = 0;

Count = -1;

Value1 = 0;

Value2 = 0;

VolWAPValue = 0;

end;

 

PriceW = PriceW + (AvgPrice * (UpTicks+DownTicks));

ShareW = ShareW + (UpTicks+DownTicks);

Count = Count + 1;

Value3 = 0;

 

if ShareW > 0 then VolWAPValue = PriceW / ShareW;

 

For Value1 = 0 To Count Begin

Value2 = ((UpTicks[Value1]+DownTicks[Value1])/ShareW) * (Square(AvgPrice[Value1]-VolWAPValue));

Value3 = Value3 + Value2;

End;

 

VolWAPVariance = Value3;

VolWAPSD = SquareRoot(VolWAPVariance);

 

Value1 = ADE.GetBarInfo(Class, GetSymbolName, ADE.TypeZeroInterval(11,1), ADE.BarID, InfoMap);

MyPVP = MapSN.Get(InfoMap, "PVP");

 

Plot1(VolWAPValue, "VWAP");

Plot2(VolWAPValue + VolWAPSD, "VWAP1SDUp");

Plot3(VolWAPValue - VolWAPSD, "VWAP1SDDown");

Plot4(VolWAPValue + (2*VolWAPSD), "VWAP2SDUp");

Plot5(VolWAPValue - (2*VolWAPSD), "VWAP2SDDown");

Plot6(MyPVP, "PVP");

 

 

but when I try to compile it it gives me the following error:

 

23.07.11 16:32:08

------ Build started: ------

Study: "DBVWAP_SD" (Indicator)

Please wait ....

------ Compiled with error(s): ------

assignment is allowed only for variables or array elements

errLine 10, errColumn 1, errLineEnd 10, errColumnEnd 1

causal study: (Function)

 

this is line 10:

 

StartCalcDate = ELDate( StartMonth, StartDay, StartYear ) ;

 

Could you please help me.

thanks again

Hallo Tams,

thanks for your prompt reply.

 

You are right, BlowFish posted 2 ways to have a custom start but both gives me an error in compiling.

 

1 - the code in the post n. 33 by BlowFish gives me the following compiling error:

 

Compiled with error(s): ------

assignment is allowed only for variables or array elements

errLine 23, errColumn 1, errLineEnd 23, errColumnEnd 1

causal study: (Function)

 

and line 23 is the following:

 

n = n + 1;

 

2 - the fragment of code in the post nr. 37 by BlowFish, after added to the original dbntina code, gives me a code that begin like this (I paste here only the beginning):

 

[LegacyColorValue = true];

 

Input:

StartTime( 0000 ),

StartMonth( 9 ),

StartDay( 5 ),

StartYear( 2011 );

 

vars:

PriceW(0),

ShareW(0),

Count(0),

VolWAPValue(0),

VolWAPVariance(0),

VolWAPSD(0),

Class("PVP"),

InfoMap(MapSN.New),

MyPVP(0);

 

if CurrentBar = 1 then

StartCalcDate = ELDate( StartMonth, StartDay, StartYear ) ;

 

if (Date >= StartCalcDate and Time >= StartTime)

or Date > StartCalcDate then begin

PriceW = 0;

ShareW = 0;

Count = -1;

Value1 = 0;

Value2 = 0;

VolWAPValue = 0;

end;

 

but also this way gives me the following compiling error:

 

Compiled with error(s): ------

assignment is allowed only for variables or array elements

errLine 23, errColumn 1, errLineEnd 23, errColumnEnd 1

causal study: (Function)

 

were line 23 in this case is:

 

StartCalcDate = ELDate( StartMonth, StartDay, StartYear ) ;

 

I would thank you very much if you could help me.

 

If I missed something in the thread, pls. accept my apologizes.

 

thanks

  BlowFish said:
Did you define a variable StartCalcDate ?

 

Hallo BlowFish,

thanks for your reply.

Following your question, I understood from the EL Essential that I had to insert the StartCalcDate in the list of the variables.

Done that the first part of the code is:

 

[LegacyColorValue = true];

 

Input:

StartTime( 0000 ),

StartMonth( 9 ),

StartDay( 5 ),

StartYear( 2011 );

 

vars:

PriceW(0),

ShareW(0),

Count(0),

VolWAPValue(0),

VolWAPVariance(0),

VolWAPSD(0),

Class("PVP"),

InfoMap(MapSN.New),

StartCalcDate(0),

MyPVP(0);

 

if CurrentBar = 1 then

StartCalcDate = ELDate ( StartMonth, StartDay, StartYear );

 

if (Date >= StartCalcDate and Time >= StartTime)

or Date > StartCalcDate then begin

PriceW = 0;

ShareW = 0;

Count = -1;

Value1 = 0;

Value2 = 0;

VolWAPValue = 0;

end;

 

Now the code perfectly compiles, no error is given.

The problem now is that the output is random.

There is no connection between the resulting Vwap and the time and data inputed in the indicator format window.

Maybe I am missing something else.

Another clue from you would be really appreciated.

thanks

mark

Dunno works for me...have you got the format of the time correct? see image.

 

Hallo BlowFish,

yes the time and date are correct but it doesn't work.

I tried all the week to fix it but got nothing.

I see that you have a Synthetic Volume in your inputs.

Could it be the difference?

thanks

    • Date: 3rd April 2025.   Gold Prices Pull Back After Record High as Traders Eye Trump’s Tariffs.   Key Takeaways:   Gold prices retreated after hitting a record high of $3,167.57 per ounce due to profit-taking. President Trump announced a 10% baseline tariff on all US imports, escalating trade tensions. Gold remains exempt from reciprocal tariffs, reinforcing its safe-haven appeal. Investors await US non-farm payroll data for further market direction. Fed rate cut bets and weaker US Treasury yields underpin gold’s bullish outlook. Gold Prices Retreat from Record Highs Amid Profit-Taking Gold prices saw a pullback on Thursday as traders opted to take profits following a historic surge. Spot gold declined 0.4% to $3,122.10 per ounce as of 0710 GMT, retreating from its fresh all-time high of $3,167.57. Meanwhile, US gold futures slipped 0.7% to $3,145.00 per ounce, reflecting broader market uncertainty over economic and geopolitical developments.   The recent rally was largely fueled by concerns over escalating trade tensions after President Donald Trump unveiled sweeping new import tariffs. The 10% baseline tariff on all goods entering the US further deepened the global trade conflict, intensifying investor demand for safe-haven assets like gold. However, as traders locked in gains from the surge, prices saw a modest retracement.   Trump’s Tariffs and Their Market Implications On Wednesday, Trump introduced a sweeping tariff policy imposing a 10% baseline duty on all imports, with significantly higher tariffs on select nations. While this move was aimed at bolstering domestic manufacturing, it sent shockwaves across global markets, fueling inflation concerns and heightening trade war fears.   Gold’s Role Amid Trade War Escalations Despite the widespread tariff measures, the White House clarified that reciprocal tariffs do not apply to gold, energy, and ‘certain minerals that are not available in the US’. This exemption suggests that central banks and institutional investors may continue favouring gold as a hedge against economic instability. One of the key factors supporting gold is the slowdown that these tariffs could cause in the US economy, which raises the likelihood of future Federal Reserve rate cuts. Gold is currently in a pure momentum trade. Market participants are on the sidelines and until we see a significant shakeout, this momentum could persist.   Impact on the US Dollar and Bond Yields Gold prices typically move inversely to the US dollar, and the latest developments have pushed the dollar to its weakest level since October 2024. Market participants are increasingly pricing in the possibility of a Fed rate cut, as the tariffs could weigh on economic growth.   Additionally, US Treasury yields have plummeted, reflecting growing recession fears. Lower bond yields reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like gold, making it a more attractive investment.         Technical Analysis: Key Levels to Watch Gold’s recent rally has pushed it into overbought territory, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) above 70. This indicates a potential short-term pullback before the uptrend resumes. The immediate support level lies at $3,115, aligning with the Asian session low. A further decline could bring gold towards the $3,100 psychological level, which has previously acted as a strong support zone. Below this, the $3,076–$3,057 region represents a critical weekly support range where buyers may re-enter the market. In the event of a more significant correction, $3,000 stands as a major psychological floor.   On the upside, gold faces immediate resistance at $3,149. A break above this level could signal renewed bullish momentum, potentially leading to a retest of the record high at $3,167. If bullish momentum persists, the next target is the $3,200 psychological barrier, which could pave the way for further gains. Despite the recent pullback, the broader trend remains bullish, with dips likely to be viewed as buying opportunities.   Looking Ahead: Non-Farm Payrolls and Fed Policy Traders are closely monitoring Friday’s US non-farm payrolls (NFP) report, which could provide critical insights into the Federal Reserve’s next policy moves. A weaker-than-expected jobs report may strengthen expectations for an interest rate cut, further boosting gold prices.   Other key economic data releases, such as jobless claims and the ISM Services PMI, may also impact market sentiment in the short term. However, with rising geopolitical uncertainties, trade tensions, and a weakening US dollar, gold’s safe-haven appeal remains strong.   Conclusion: While short-term profit-taking may trigger minor corrections, gold’s long-term outlook remains bullish. As global trade tensions mount and the Federal Reserve leans toward a more accommodative stance, gold could see further gains in the months ahead.   Always trade with strict risk management.
