This professional-grade custom indicator for cTrader calculates the Anchored Volume Weighted Average Price (AVWAP) and volume-weighted standard deviation bands from a user-defined start date. Unlike standard VWAP indicators that reset daily, it anchors the VWAP calculation to a specific event or time, such as a market release or trend start, providing an institutional perspective on average price since that anchor point.

Key features include:
- Precision anchoring to a user-specified date and time, ignoring data before that moment.
- Institutional VWAP calculation using cumulative (Price × Volume) divided by cumulative Volume.
- Default use of Typical Price ((High + Low + Close) / 3) for fair value, adjustable to Open or Close prices.
- Two dynamic volatility bands based on volume-weighted variance: Band 1 (1 standard deviation) representing the value zone, and Band 2 (2 standard deviations) indicating extreme price deviations.
- Independent toggles and customizable deviation multipliers for each band.
- Strategic color coding: yellow for VWAP, lime green for Band 1, and red for Band 2.
- Internal state preservation ensures accurate values during historical and real-time updates without repainting.

The indicator supports markets including Forex, indices, commodities, stocks, and cryptocurrencies, and is suitable for various symbols such as BTCUSD, EURUSD, GBPUSD, XAUUSD, and NAS100.
