VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) is the ratio of an asset’s price to its total trade volume.  VWAP is used to calculate the average price of a stock over a period of time.


Calculation:


VWAP = (Typical Price * Volume) / Cumulative Volume

 

Notes:

  • It is industry standard to include all volume, including pre/post market volume, in the regular accumulated volume for the day.


  • VWAP calculations do not include irregular trades, including odd lots and other cross-trades.
