Hello, I have noticed that the VWAP Std. Deviation for certain bars is zero. Are the calculations correct?

As you can see in the image there are some bars where the Top Band coincides with the Bottom Band.

There is little doubt that what you are seeing is correct. The typical standard deviation formula will result in the bands being 0 when they are based on a single bar only.

Mathematically explain in detail for a single bar why there is a problem with what you see based upon the calculation method.

We are not going to undertake the costly and time-consuming effort to look into this unless we are convinced there is some issue we need to resolve and we are not convinced of that.

The source code for the study is available and you can look at how this study is calculated.
