Summary of 📥 Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) Indicator for MetaTrader 4&5 - free Download [Tradingfinder]

The video presents the Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) indicator for MetaTrader 4 and 5, available for free download from the Tradingfinder website. This indicator combines price and trading volume to identify bullish and bearish market trends, visually marking bullish trends in blue (or green in some themes) and bearish trends in red.

Main Financial Strategy and Business Trend:

The VWMA indicator helps traders detect market trends by weighting average prices with volume, providing a more volume-sensitive moving average compared to traditional moving averages.
Traders can use the VWMA as dynamic support and resistance levels to make informed trading decisions.

Key Features and Customization Options:

Period Settings: Default is 20 periods; higher values show longer-term trends, lower values reveal shorter-term trends.
Price Type Selection: Users can choose from close, open, high, low, or weighted prices for calculation.
Volume Type: Options include real or tick volume, useful for Forex traders.
Shift Adjustment: Allows moving the trend line forward (positive values) or backward (negative values) on the chart.
Theme/Template Settings: Four modes available—auto, light, dark, and custom. Auto mode changes candle colors based on trend (bullish candles green, bearish candles red), while light and dark modes apply preset chart templates.
DLL Imports: Users must enable "Allow DLL Imports" in platform settings to run the indicator properly.
