What is the formula used for VWAP in KITE.

Hi, I am having different results when using VWAP i coded. Can anyone tell me what formula does Zerodha uses?

    @ayush Were you able to figure out the formula used by kite? I am calculating it in my program but values are not matching.

    @ayush I don't know what Zerodha is using but VWAP - Volume Weight Average Price means

    It is the (Sum Product of Price and Volume) / Sum of Volume, which basically means you are getting price weighted basis volume traded on that price

    At least that is what I use and I do get the match with what Kite Chart shows

    Can anyone please tell me how can I get an average of 52 candles of 5 min?
    I have obtained the data but don't know how to get an average of latest 52 candles

    Let us say you have the close prices of 5-minute candle in an array variable candle_close[ ]
    then last 52 candle close in pure python is
    sum(candle_close[-52 : ] ) / 52

    That being said, If you don't know how to do this, then you shouldn't do programmatic trading / back testing, until such time that this line of code is cake walk for you
