I'm looking for a VWAP with bands to be plotted to start of RTH session automatically.

I tried this and I have some questions on it to clarify
- Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) with Standard Deviation Lines
- I have set the Start Date-Time to RTH timing but it does not seem to reset to every RTH. (I anchored a VWAP with similar settings to see if they will overlap)
- The AVWAP I used to check should be correct as it aligns with TradingView's VWAP on RTH session

I have attached a chartbook and this is how I tested it:
- VWAP on 24th July 09:30 and AVWAP at the same time overlaps smoothly till ETH (The shared chartbook does the same)
- I assume VWAP resets on ETH as they stopped overlapping
- However, the VWAP doesn't reset again on RTH . I verified this as I shifted the initial AVWAP on 24th July 09:30 to on 25th July 09:30


Questions:
1. How to reset it every RTH correctly and automatically? (Currently, I use AVWAP on the start of session manually)
2. How do I achieve a separate VWAP for RTH and ETH or is it taken care of automatically as per below quote?
The start of the trading day is determined from the Session Times set in Chart >> Chart Settings. For example, when the Time Period Length and Time Period Type Study Inputs are set to 1 Day, then the calculations will begin at the start of each trading day according to the Session Times and end at the end of the trading day.

Thanks!

In order to have the "Volume Weighted Average Price" reset at the beginning of the RTH, you would need to have a chart that does NOT have any evening session, just the RTH. The same is true for the ETH - to get a VWAP for just the ETH, you would need a chart that just covers the ETH.

You can then overlay each of these to a full session chart to see the VWAP where it is resetting for both sessions.

Thank you, I will try this.

On a side note, I have multiple (7+) studies being overlayed from other charts to my primary trading charts. In such a case, will there be a performance issue
- during live markets ?
- during market replay (I think so for replay, it will slow down it by a bit but I would like your input) ?

We can not say, as there is a lot that goes into it - particularly the studies being overlaid and the chart update interval of the charts. You just need to try it and see how it works.

Replays will be a bit slower, as you need to replay all the charts that are involved instead of just one chart. But again, you really need to test this for yourself to see how it performs for you.
