Weighted Average Price
Weighted Average Price (WAP) is the average price of a commodity or security over a period, adjusted for the quantity traded at each price point.
For example, if 500 barrels of crude oil trade at $70 and 1,500 barrels trade at $72, the WAP would be closer to $71.50, reflecting both price and volume.
WAP is used for performance evaluation, transaction analysis, and portfolio accounting. It provides a more accurate representation of average market activity than a simple arithmetic mean.
Understanding WAP allows traders and analysts to benchmark execution quality, assess market trends, and make informed decisions in commodities, equities, and derivatives trading.
