Rolling VWAP by Vibie

Rolling VWAP

🧠 Concept

Rolling VWAP is a continuously updating VWAP that doesn’t reset at fixed anchors like daily or weekly VWAP.
Instead, it applies VWAP calculation to a moving window of recent bars, making it more adaptive and responsive to current market conditions.

⚙️ How It Works
1. VWAP Formula
• VWAP = Σ(price × volume) ÷ Σ(volume) over a rolling lookback period.
2. Rolling Window
• The indicator calculates VWAP only for the last N bars (e.g., 50).
• As each new bar appears, the oldest drops out, creating a continuously updated VWAP line.
3. Real-Time Adjustment
• Rolling VWAP constantly shifts with new data, tracking short-term fair value as market conditions evolve.

🧭 How to Use
• Intraday trading → use short rolling windows (20–50 bars) for scalping and mean reversion setups.
• Swing trading → use longer windows (e.g., 10 days) to track medium-term fair value.
• Rolling VWAP acts as dynamic support/resistance and can serve as a trend filter.

🌟 Why It’s Original and Useful
• Reacts faster to volume changes than anchored VWAP.
• Continuously represents short-term fair price without session resets.
• Excellent for adaptive strategies in volatile markets.
• Particularly valuable for active day traders.
