* **VWAP line** — set the main line type, its thickness and color
* **Data type** — set the data for VWAP calculation: **Ticks** or **Current TF. Ticks** will use tick data for VWAP calculation and will take much more time for loading **Current TF** will use Bar data from the current selected Timeframe of your chart. It will use Price type data and multiple it to Bar Volume.
* **Price Type** — select the price for the Current TF data type (Open, High, Low, Close, HL/2, HLC/3, OHLC/4)

* **Standard Deviation Bands**. When the parameter is active, the standard deviation lines up and down from VWAP will be additionally calculated on the chart. Specify the number of standard deviations in the ***"Value"*** field and colors
* **Maximum Permissible Deviation (MPD).** MPD is similar to the standard deviation but is calculated as (VWAP period high - VWAP period low)/2.
* **Points coordinates** — defines the starting point for custom VWAP
* **Visible on specified timeframes** — this setting allows you to specify on which timeframes VWAP will be displayed.
