MessageI am looking at something called Volume Adjusted Moving Average =
in conjunction with CandleVolume Charts, because of the importance of =
volume in conjunction with price as signals. I have not got a web link =
for this, but here is a snip from the Metastock Help file:
<SNIP>
Dick Arms, well-known as the developer of the Arms Index and the =
equivolume charting method (see Equivolume), has developed a unique =
method for calculating moving averages. In keeping with his prior work, =
the calculation method incorporates volume and is appropriately called a =
volume adjusted moving average .
The calculation for a volume adjusted moving average is somewhat =
complex; however, it is conceptually easy to understand. All moving =
averages (even volume adjusted) use some type of weighting scheme to =
"average" the data. Exponential and weighted moving averages assign the =
majority of weight to the most recent data. Simple moving averages =
assign the weight equally across all data. Variable moving averages =
assign the majority of the weight to the most volatile data. And as its =
name implies, volume adjusted moving averages assign the majority of =
weight to the day's with the most volume.
A volume adjusted moving average is calculated as follows:
1. Calculate the average volume using every time period in the chart.
2. Calculate the volume increment by multiplying the average volume by =
0.67.
3. Calculate each period's volume ratio by dividing each period's actual =
volume by the volume increment.
4. Starting at the most recent time period and working backwards, =
multiply each period's price by the period's volume ratio and =
cumulatively sum these values until the user-specified number of volume =
increments is reached. Note that only a fraction of the last period's =
volume will likely be used.
