VWAP — Volume Weighted Average Price

The average price weighted by trading volume over the entire input window; commonly used as a benchmark to evaluate execution quality — prices above VWAP are considered bullish, below bearish.

Inputs: [high, low, close, volume]  |  Options: []  |  Outputs: [vwap]  |  Optional: [typprice]

Optional Outputs

vwap exposes 1 optional output: typprice. The typical price (high + low + close) / 3 is the per-bar price used internally when computing the weighted average. Pass a boolean mask as the third argument — one bool per optional output, in order.

use tulip_rs::indicators::vwap::indicator;

// ... (same high, low, close, volume data as above)
let mask = [true];
let (outputs, _state) = indicator(
    &[high.as_slice(), low.as_slice(), close.as_slice(), volume.as_slice()],
    &[],
    Some(&mask),
).unwrap();

let vwap     = &outputs[0]; // vwap (primary)
let typprice = &outputs[1]; // typprice (optional — requested)
import numpy as np
import tulip_rs

# ... (same high, low, close, volume data as above)
outputs, state = tulip_rs.indicators.vwap.indicator(
    [high, low, close, volume], [],
    optional_outputs=[True],
)

vwap     = outputs[0]  # vwap (primary)
typprice = outputs[1]  # typprice (optional — requested)

vwap exposes 1 optional output: typprice.

const [allOut] = ti.vwap.indicator([high, low, close, volume], [], [true]);
const vwap     = allOut[0]; // primary
const typprice = allOut[1]; // optional 0: typprice

The WASM API is identical to Node.js — pass the boolean mask as the third argument.

const [allOut] = ti.vwap.indicator([high, low, close, volume], [], [true]);
const vwap     = allOut[0]; // primary
const typprice = allOut[1]; // optional 0: typprice

SIMD

By assets — same options, N assets in parallel:

use tulip_rs::indicators::vwap::indicator_by_assets;

let h1 = high.clone();   let l1 = low.clone();
let c1 = close.clone();  let v1 = volume.clone();
let h2 = h1.clone();     let l2 = l1.clone();
let c2 = c1.clone();     let v2 = v1.clone();
let h3 = h1.clone();     let l3 = l1.clone();
let c3 = c1.clone();     let v3 = v1.clone();
let h4 = h1.clone();     let l4 = l1.clone();
let c4 = c1.clone();     let v4 = v1.clone();

let inputs: [&[&[f64]; 4]; 4] = [
    &[h1.as_slice(), l1.as_slice(), c1.as_slice(), v1.as_slice()],
    &[h2.as_slice(), l2.as_slice(), c2.as_slice(), v2.as_slice()],
    &[h3.as_slice(), l3.as_slice(), c3.as_slice(), v3.as_slice()],
    &[h4.as_slice(), l4.as_slice(), c4.as_slice(), v4.as_slice()],
];

let results = indicator_by_assets::<4>(&inputs, &[], None).unwrap();
for (i, asset_outputs) in results.0.iter().enumerate() {
    println!("Asset {}: {:?}", i + 1, asset_outputs[0]);
}

This indicator has no options, so by-options SIMD does not apply.

By assets — same options, N assets in parallel (must be 2, 4, 8, or 16):

import numpy as np

    [high,        low,        close,        volume],
    [high + 0.5,  low + 0.5,  close + 0.5,  volume * 1.1],
    [high - 0.5,  low - 0.5,  close - 0.5,  volume * 0.9],

outputs_list, states = tulip_rs.indicators.vwap.simd_by_assets(simd_inputs, [])
for i, out in enumerate(outputs_list):
    print(f"Asset {i + 1}: {out[0]}")

This indicator has no options, so by-options SIMD does not apply.

By assets — applied to 4 assets in parallel:

const simdInputs = [
    [high.slice(), low.slice(), close.slice(), volume.slice()],
    [high.map(v => v * 1.1), low.map(v => v * 1.1), close.map(v => v * 1.1), volume.map(v => v * 1.1)],
    [high.map(v => v * 0.9), low.map(v => v * 0.9), close.map(v => v * 0.9), volume.map(v => v * 0.9)],
    [high.map(v => v * 1.02), low.map(v => v * 1.02), close.map(v => v * 1.02), volume.map(v => v * 1.02)],
];
const [results] = ti.vwap.simdByAssets(simdInputs, []);
results.forEach((out, i) => console.log(`Asset ${i + 1}:`, out[0]));

This indicator has no options, so by-options SIMD does not apply.
