Anchored Volume Weighted Average Price (AVWAP)
Pioneered by Brian Shannon, an Anchored VWAP is the measure of the average price per share since a specific moment or event. It is found as a tool in TradingView in the same toolkit as Trend Lines.
This indicator uses a Stochastic RSI measurement to define when low and high points (support and resistance levels) have occurred and applies an 'anchor' to these points.
It progressively updates these anchor points as they change. The "Next" potential AVWAP values are also displayed. When a support level is raised or a resistance level is lowered the main AVWAP value is replaced by the "Next" value.
Default Configuration:
This indicator (unconventionally) uses the high and low values instead of the HLC3 values used by a typical VWAP calculation. This allows for what appears more like support and resistance than simply an average price. Simply uncheck this configuration value to see the difference.
Breakout alerts are triggered by the open value. Uncheck this setting to use the close.
