# LWAP (Liquidity-Weighted Average Price)

# Description

LWAP is a liquidity-weighted average of prices derived from the order book. Unlike VWAP, which is based on executed volume, LWAP focuses on the price levels with the most available liquidity.

***

# Details

LWAP offers a view of the true market-clearing price based on where liquidity sits, rather than where trades occur. It's particularly helpful for estimating where large trades would most likely be filled without disrupting the market. Often used to compare with VWAP or to assess liquidity health at a given point in time.
