Editors' picksOPEN-SOURCE SCRIPTVAMA Volume Adjusted Moving Average Function
Updated
This indicator is a live analysis adaptation of Richard Arms' Volume Adjusted Moving Average coded as a single function. VAMA utilizes a period length that is based on volume increments rather than time. Settings are provided for using as a pair of fast and slow moving averages.
• SampleN - N volume bars used as sample to calculate average volume , 0 equals all bars.
• VAMA Source - Price used for volume weighted calculations.
• VAMA Length - Specified number of volume ratio buckets to be reached.
• VAMA VI Fct - Size of volume ratio buckets.
• VAMA Strict - Must meet desired volume requirements, even if number of bars has to exceed VAMA Length to do it.
Please see previous published example here for more details on VAMA's usage and inability to redraw the past on time based charts.
