VWAP Execution
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) execution is a trading strategy that aims to execute an order at a price as close as possible to the average price of the asset over a specific time period, weighted by trading volume. This approach is widely used by institutional investors to minimize market impact when buying or selling large quantities of an asset.
By spreading the execution over the day, the trader avoids moving the market price too drastically, which would happen if they placed a single large order. VWAP provides a benchmark for evaluating the quality of trade execution and is a standard metric for measuring the efficiency of trading desks.
It is a core component of algorithmic trading toolkits.
