Which timeframe is best for VWAP?

VWAP works best on intraday timeframes, typically 1-minute, 5-minute, or 15-minute charts, since it resets each session and is designed for short-term decisions.

The 5-minute chart is the standard for day trading; some scalpers use 1-minute, but 5-minute gives cleaner signals with fewer false moves.

The 15-minute chart offers the best balance between signal quality and trading opportunities for most day traders, while scalpers prefer 1-5 minute timeframes and position traders can use up to 30-minute charts.

VWAP is not suited for swing or long-term analysis.
