Abbreviation: Advance/Decline+Decline Ratio: VolWgtAvg
Category: Market Advance / Decline
Input Parameters:
| Name | Range | Default |
| Advancing Issues | ||
| Declining Issues | ||
| Total Volume | ||
| Avg Periods | Int >= 1 | 5 |
Calculation:
VolWgtAvg(X, Total Volume, VolWgtAvg Periods)
where
X = Advance/Advance+Decline Ratio(Advancing Issues, Declining Issues)
Advance/Advance+Decline Ratio represents Advance/Advance+Decline Ratio
VolWgtAvg represents Volume Weighted Moving Average
Discussion:
This indicator attempts to smooth the Advance/Advance+Decline Ratio indicator by calculating its moving average. Since it uses a volume weighted moving average (which gives more importance to those periods with higher volume relative to the other periods in the moving average’s time frame), the smoothing is influenced more by periods of relatively higher volume than by periods of relatively lower volume.
