Swing VWAP is designed for traders who want a clearer view of where price is trading relative to the market's most important swing points.
Instead of using a traditional VWAP that resets according to a fixed session or period, Swing VWAP dynamically anchors VWAP to confirmed swing highs and swing lows, creating a continuously updated view of the volume-weighted price from significant market turning points.
See Where the Market Is Really Trading
A swing high can mark an important area of selling pressure.
A swing low can mark an important area of buying interest.
Swing VWAP connects these important market points with volume-weighted price information, helping you understand how price is positioned relative to the latest confirmed market swings.
Dual VWAP for a Clearer Market View
Swing VWAP displays two independent VWAP lines:
🔴 Swing High VWAP
Anchored from confirmed swing highs and designed to help monitor the volume-weighted price originating from significant highs.
🔵 Swing Low VWAP
Anchored from confirmed swing lows and designed to help monitor the volume-weighted price originating from significant lows.
Together, the two lines create a dynamic framework that can help you visually understand the current market environment.
A Dynamic Alternative to Fixed VWAP
Traditional VWAP tools often rely on predefined sessions or fixed starting points.
Swing VWAP takes a different approach.
The VWAP anchor is determined by confirmed market swings, allowing the reference point to adapt as the market develops.
This makes the indicator particularly useful for traders who focus on:
-
Market structure
-
Swing trading
-
Support and resistance
-
Trend continuation
-
Pullbacks
-
Breakouts
-
Price reaction around key levels
Instantly Identify Important Swing Points
Optional arrows mark the confirmed swing highs and swing lows used by the indicator.
This gives you a clean visual reference for the market's recent turning points while keeping the chart easy to read.
You can enable or disable the swing arrows according to your preferred chart style.
Useful for Multiple Trading Styles
Swing VWAP can be incorporated into many different approaches.
Trend Trading
Use the relationship between price and the Swing VWAP lines to maintain a clearer view of the current market structure and directional environment.

This gives you flexibility across different MT5 instruments and broker data feeds.
Designed for Market Context
Swing VWAP is not intended to predict the future price or generate guaranteed buy and sell signals.
Its purpose is to give traders a dynamic, volume-weighted reference around important market swings so that price action can be analyzed with greater context.
