VWAP
Also called: volume-weighted average price, volume weighted average price
The average price of all of a share's trades during the day, weighted by how many shares traded at each price.
VWAP = total value traded ÷ total quantity traded. Because it weights by volume, it reflects the prices at which most shares actually changed hands. Large investors often compare their own trading prices with VWAP.
Example
If 8,42,300 shares traded for a total of about ₹43.03 crore, VWAP is about ₹510.85.
