What is VWAP?
What is
VWAP? VWAP stands for Volume-Weighted Average Price.
The blue line on my charts is the 1-minute VWAP, and it’s THE ONLY LINE THAT MATTERS
IN THE STOCK MARKET.
The entire stock market revolves around algorithms now – the days of sending trade
alerts to your broker via smoke signal are over, Blanche.
The blue line – 1-minute VWAP – is telling you where institutional money is going into the
market. When a stock makes a definitive move back above the 1-minute VWAP, that tells
us that the REAL power players in the market (and that ain’t me – I’m an insignificant bug
on the back of this beast) are putting money in, and that’s what gives us the volume.
When a stock makes a move back below the 1-minute VWAP, it tells us power players are
hitting the exit.
Now that we’ve established the importance of VWAP, if I say, “This stock is breaking
back over the VWAP” during one of my LIVE 9:30 a.m. ET sessions, you’re gonna think,
“Institutional money is getting into this stock – maybe I should buy it.”
On the other hand, stocks making decisive moves back BELOW the 1-minute VWAP often
present opportunities on the bearish side – I might play this pattern by either shorting the
shares outright or buying soon-to-expire put options.
Of course, VWAP trading is more nuanced than that, but that’s the gist of it. To best
educate yourself on the ins and outs, it’s important to be in the room watching me each
morning.

VWAP?
I’m a day trader who makes fast moves based on the 1-minute VWAP – I’m not an investor
looking for long-term gains here, and I’d rather DIE than be a bag-holder.
I like to get in and out of trades quickly, and set stops and targets along the way, so I
never exit my position at one price.
In order to best trade VWAP, you need stocks that are liquid and moving – not some
slow-burning tortoise stock, so I’m often hunting earnings reversals or stocks with major
momentum that day.
I suggest picking 10 stocks that are moving each morning, and then whittle that watchlist
down to 4-5.
In fact, each morning I’m doing most of the heavy lifting FOR YOU, giving you my daily
Warlock Watchlist – found at the top of ThisIsVWAP.com each morning (and get a sneak
peek at 8:30 a.m. ET when I’m on the Money Morning LIVE show).
You want to keep your watchlist on the smaller side, because day trading is a fast sport,
and watching too many stocks means you could miss a big move or VWAP break.
Then, once a stock lands on my daily Warlock Watchlist, I usually watch it for 2-3 more
days, because sometimes I can squeeze even more out of it, depending on volume.
