Any reason not to use a VWAP order for long term buys and sell?
From what I can see, some brokers like IBKR allow you to use an algo VWAP order type. It looks like you just set this for a buy or sell throughout the day and can forget it, resting assured you're filled at least on the average price. It seems like a no brainer when you've made a decision to go in or out of a longer term position and are not day trading. Thoughts? Otherwise even though it's insurmountable in the long term, I question whether I made a good entry throughout the day
