VWMA Crosses

6 thg 7, 2019

This is a simple tool that gives traders a simple visual representation of Volume-Weighted Moving Average ( VWMA ) crossovers that is pretty similar to the MACD . We don't typically trade solely based on the VWMA , but it is definitely one of our go-to tools when combining multiple indicators.

When trading with VWMA's, it is common to enter a position when the fast VWMA crosses over the slow VWMA . In other words, the fast VWMA was previously less than the slow VWMA and is now greater in value than the slow VWMA . Conversely, traders often exit their positions when the fast VWMA crosses under the slow VWMA .

This tool plots the absolute value of the difference between the fast and slow VWMA's as a histogram. When the difference between the fast and slow VWMA's is greater than zero (meaning fast > slow), then the bars are green. The bars then turn red when the fast VWMA is less than the slow VWMA . The blue circle-line is a Simple Moving Average of the difference between the two lines.

Here's a quick guide to interpreting the chart:

if (fast VWMA > slow VWMA ) and (difference < sma of differences)
then color = lime green

if (fast VWMA > slow VWMA ) and (difference > sma of differences)
then color = dark green

if (fast VWMA < slow VWMA ) and (difference < sma of differences)
then color = light red

if (fast VWMA < slow VWMA ) and (difference > sma of differences)
then color = dark red
