A new order type called the volume weighted average price order (the "VWAP order") will be introduced. This is an order that is filled so that the weighted average price of all trades executed based on such order is the same or better than that indicated in the VWAP order. The volume weighted average price of buy/sell trades is determined by dividing the amount of products of each trade price and the volume of lot currency in the trade by the total volume of lot currency in the trades.

VWAP orders differ from any limit order for example FOK limit order, in that a limited price should be indicated on entry of a FOK order to buy(sell) a certain number of currency lots at the price being the same or lower (higher) than the order price. Any VWAP order should contain the weighted average price for a certain volume while some trades based on such order may be at a better price, and some at a worse price. The main criteria for execution is the observance of the overall price level, i.e. the volume weighted average price of the bids/asks executed must be the same or lower/higher that the order price.

VWAP order are possible to use only for USDRUB_TOM instrument.
