Flow
VWAP Envelopes
Continuous VWAP with envelopes: volume-weighted average price over a MOVING WINDOW — N days or N minutes — that drops the past instead of resetting at the session.
Real example in the platform
VWAP Envelopes on the NQ, 1-minute candles built from real ticks (October 16, 2026, Rithmic feed) — a screenshot of the platform itself, factory settings.
What it does
- VWAP line of the last N days (×24 h) or N minutes; three envelopes by standard deviation (volume-weighted) or by % of price, each with its own color, dash and width.
- Calculation source: compute it on candles of another type/timeframe (the badge shows where it comes from).
- Paint candles: closed above × below the VWAP.
How to read
- Price above the VWAP = buyers paying above the period average; at the outer envelopes price is stretched, mean reversion likely.
- Unlike the Session VWAP, this one never resets — it is the period average moving along with the market.
