Web Trader MT5
A large order can push the market price against the trader if it is placed all at once. A VWAP algo avoids this by dividing the order into smaller parts and carrying them out during the trading day.
The program aims to achieve an average price close to VWAP, which gives more weight to prices where more trading took place.
An order to buy 100,000 shares may be spread across several hours. The program places more of the order during busy periods and less when activity is low.
The final result may still differ from VWAP because actual prices and trading volume can change during the session.
