I set up a generic chart with a default vwap. The Session time is 00:00:00 to 23:59:59, which I assume is a 24 hour day.

For some reason, vwap doesn't pot from 15:30 until midnight.

I can't figure it out - please see enclosed picture.

Does not really make much sense. What is the exact name of the study, and is this a Sierra Chart built in study or a custom study?

We recommend checking all of the study Inputs and referring to the relevant documentation:
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) - Rolling with Standard Deviation Lines

It is the generic VWAP configured with default settings. It is not rolling, just the vanilla VWAP.

I created a fresh chart, and added one study, Sierra's built-in VWAP.

We are fairly sure the reason for this, is the lower volume in the evening session. So the prices in the evening session have little/non-perceivable impact upon the volume weighted average price from the period before.

I checked other platforms to which I have access, and their default VWAP indicator does appear to have sufficient volume to show movement during overnight hours. See enclosed:

We stand by the calculation and the explanation we gave really would be the explanation for this.

One way to validate this is to look at the mathematical formulas we provide:
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) with Standard Deviation Lines

And then add the Numbers Bars study to the chart, and manually do the calculations:
Numbers Bars

To make this easier you can set the chart bars to something like 360 minutes per bar.
