Studies/Indicators

I love volume. To me, volume is the market. So it makes sense for trades to be highly informed by what’s happening with volume, and it helps to know things like what price the most shares have been traded at for the day, or what price over the past hour is considered “fair value”. When I started looking at moving average systems and so forth, I naturally gravitated toward volume weighted average price because it just made sense. And when you start to understand how professional traders at large hedge funds and such are incentivized to trade relative to VWAP, it really becomes a no brainer. Volume weighted average price, or VWAP for short, is probably the first indicator I would want on my chart next to volume itself.
