Discussion:

This indicator attempts to smooth the Williams’ Variable Accumulation Distribution indicator by calculating its moving average. Since it uses a simple moving average (which gives equal importance to all the periods within the moving average’s time frame), this method of smoothing may cause more of a lag time than the exponential variant.
