Monthly VWAP: Your Compass for Long-Term Market Direction

The Monthly VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) is a sophisticated custom indicator meticulously crafted to provide traders with a high-level, long-term perspective on market activity: the volume-weighted average price, which diligently resets at the commencement of each new trading month. Unlike simple moving averages, VWAP inherently accounts for volume in its calculation, granting greater significance to price levels where substantial trading interest has converged. This makes it an exceptionally powerful tool for discerning the true fair value of an asset over an extended monthly timeframe.

This indicator precisely computes the cumulative sum of (Price * Volume) divided by the cumulative volume for each calendar month, automatically restarting its calculation with the first bar of every new monthly trading session. It plots a clear and distinct line directly on your chart, offering an effortless visual representation of where the bulk of the month's trading volume has occurred in relation to price.
