How to read it

  • Price above the line suggests an uptrend, below it a downtrend.
  • The slope shows trend direction; crosses of price and the line can mark changes.
  • A VWMA above an SMA of the same period means volume favoured higher prices.

Key settings

  • Period 20, source close, offset 0.
