Bookmap AVWAP is an add-on that draws anchored VWAP lines on the heatmap: VWAP started from a time you choose instead of the session open, with standard-deviation bands if you want them. You can run several lines at once, each with its own anchor, name and colour.
This whole site is about VWAP, so it would be odd if my order flow screen didn’t have one. It does. It’s where the bands meet the order book, which is where the VWAP Wave Systemâ„¢ does its work.
Which plan: included from Global.

What does Bookmap AVWAP draw?
A VWAP line from your anchor: the current time, the session start, or any time you type in. Anchor points restart the calculation at chosen times, and right-clicking the line adds one. Bands are standard deviations: the usual ±1 and ±2, or custom (a coefficient of 5 draws +5 and −5).
One quirk from Bookmap’s own guide: the add-on uses your computer’s time zone, not Bookmap’s. If the two differ, your anchors shift. Check that first if a line starts in the wrong place.
How I use anchored VWAP on Bookmap
The chart platform gives me VWAP and the bands. Bookmap draws the same lines over the order book, so I can see what’s resting at them. A band is a statistical boundary, not support (the VWAP band trap). What the heatmap shows at the band tells me whether it’ll act like one today.
Anchors from a news print or the overnight high are optional extras. The exact lines, anchors and colours I run go in the settings section below, with a screenshot, once I’ve taken one that isn’t a mess.
Settings worth knowing
- Create line: from the current time or the session start; rename it, recolour it, change its width.
- Anchor points: restart the calculation at set times, or right-click the line and anchor there.
- Bands: standard bands or custom coefficients. The bands reset wherever the line resets.
- Show VWAP line: hide a line without deleting it.

Questions people ask
Which Bookmap plan includes AVWAP?
Global and up.
Is it the same VWAP as on my charting platform?
Same idea: price averaged by volume from the anchor. Numbers can differ a tick or two between platforms because of the data feed and the session start you choose.
Can I colour the bands separately from the line?
No. Bookmap’s guide says a line and its bands share one colour.
