his is just a bash together of two MIDAS VWAP scripts particularly AkifTokuz and drshoe. I added the ability to show more MIDAS curves from the same script. The algorithm primarily uses the "n" number but the date can be used for the 8th VWAP I have not converted the script to version 3. To find bar number go into "Chart Properties" select " "background" then select Indicator Titles and "Indicator values". When you place your cursor over a bar the first number you see adjacent to the script title is the bar number. Put that in the dialogue box midline is MIDAS VWAP . The resistance is a MIDAS VWAP using bar highs. The resistance is MIDAS VWAP using bar lows. In most case using N will suffice. However, if you are flipping around charts inputting a specific date can be handy. In this way, you can compare the same point in time across multiple instruments eg first trading day of the year or an election date. Adding dates into the dialogue box is a bit cumbersome so in this version, it is enabled for only one curve. I have called it VWAP and it follows the typical VWAP algorithm. (Does that make a difference? Read below re my opinion on the Difference between MIDAS VWAP and VWAP ). I have added the ability to start from the bottom or top of the initiating bar. In theory in a probable uptrend pick a low of a bar for a low pivot and start the MIDAS VWAP there using the support. For a downtrend use the high pivot bar and select resistance. The way to see is to play with these values.

THis script updates the MIDAS/Anchored vwap script to fix an error and a slight change to bar numbering. A "how to" video is here:
Release Notes
Updated script title to include "Anchored" Vwap in the displayed title. Click on the How to video directly above to view
Release Notes
Minor changes to prescript comments. See how to video above.
Release Notes
Removed some artificial limits on n bar numbers. created workaround for TV Pine script "weekofyear" function which cannot accommodate years with 53 Mondays ie 53 weeks. "Weekofyear" currently is limited to 52 weeks beginning with a Monday. The script allows you to pick a date that falls on a day when no trading activity occurs. The anchor point defaults to the first trading day when the market is open after the inputted calendar date. This video demonstrates the use of the script using date/time:
Release Notes
minor update regarding anchoring from week 1 of any year. Please watch both videos above for How to use information.
