Arty's Anchored VWAP Indicator lets you place up to five separate AVWAPs directly on your chart. You can anchor each one to a candle that matters to your setup, such as a session open, swing high, swing low, breakout bar, news candle, or strong impulse move.
That makes it much easier to see where price is trading relative to the volume-weighted average since that exact moment. For many traders, Anchored VWAP becomes a clean support and resistance tool, a pullback guide, and a simple trend filter all at the same time.

Manual and Auto Anchored VWAP with Volume Pills
To set an AVWAP manually, click the chart button and then click the candle you want to anchor it to. If you prefer a fixed reference, let a slot start automatically at a set time instead, for example at the cash open. This is useful if you want one Anchored VWAP for the session open and another one for a later breakout or reaction candle.
Volume pills highlight when price returns to an important AVWAP level on stronger-than-average volume. That's a useful early signal: it can point to a potential reversal or rejection right at that level, instead of price simply passing through unnoticed.

Anchored VWAP Settings for AVWAP Slots, Auto Times, and Volume Pills
The settings are built around clarity and control. You can define separate colors for VWAP 1 to 5, choose optional auto times for each slot, and adjust the line width and style so different AVWAPs stay easy to read on the chart.
You can also control where the chart button appears, whether anchor slot labels are shown, and how sensitive the volume pills are. Lookback, tick distance, marker size, minimum volume ratio, offset, and color can all be adjusted to fit your market and your trading style.
