vwap
Calculate the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP).
Measures the average typical price by volume. It is typically used with intraday charts to identify general direction. It helps to understand the true average price factoring in the volume of transactions, and serves as a benchmark for assessing the market's direction over short periods, such as a single trading day.
Examples
from openbb import obb
# Get the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP).
stock_data = obb.equity.price.historical(symbol='TSLA', start_date='2023-01-01', provider='fmp')
vwap_data = obb.technical.vwap(data=stock_data.results, anchor='D', offset=0)
obb.technical.vwap(data=[{'date': '2023-01-02', 'open': 110.0, 'high': 120.0, 'low': 100.0, 'close': 115.0, 'volume': 10000.0}, {'date': '2023-01-03', 'open': 165.0, 'high': 180.0, 'low': 150.0, 'close': 172.5, 'volume': 15000.0}, {'date': '2023-01-04', 'open': 146.67, 'high': 160.0, 'low': 133.33, 'close': 153.33, 'volume': 13333.33}, {'date': '2023-01-05', 'open': 137.5, 'high': 150.0, 'low': 125.0, 'close': 143.75, 'volume': 12500.0}, {'date': '2023-01-06', 'open': 132.0, 'high': 144.0, 'low': 120.0, 'close': 138.0, 'volume': 12000.0}])
