Overview
An optional volume-weighted moving average can filter those marks: a bullish signal requires the close at or below the primary VWMA, and a bearish signal requires the close at or above it. Two VWMA lines, with independent periods, can be shown or hidden, but only the primary period is used in the filter. It has no entry, exit, or stop rules.
- Bullish and bearish engulfing arrows
- Optional VWMA confirmation filter
- Toggleable primary and secondary VWMA lines
- Adjustable VWMA periods
