Time-Weighted Average Price (TWAP)
An asset’s time-weighted average price (TWAP) is the measure of an asset’s average price over a predetermined period of time. TWAP can be calculated for any specified time duration. TWAP trading algorithms seek to optimize a trade’s average price while executing over a specified time period. This is generally used to execute large orders that are expected to have significant market impact.
