Re: [EquisMetaStock Group] Re: a new volume-adjusted MA

[Code 2 <Code2@xxxxxxx>]

Nice idea.

You are analyzing the effect on price of high volume days (or whatever
the periodicity).  Equally telling is what happens to price on
low-volume days.  Typically, a stock will rise on higher volume and
drift lower on low volume, but not always.  Perhaps it would be useful
to compare high-volume average price to low-volume average price.

Another variation would be to examine the spread between the
high-volume and low-volume averages.  Yet another variation would be
to plot the spread between the high-volume EMA and standard EMA, as
well the spread between the low-volume EMA and standard EMA.  If the
moving averages are responsive enough, they might be able to highlight
fundamental shifts.  A kind of Ease of Movement indicator.

Interesting stuff.

Ok, this is what I have so far:

======================
EMA - Volume adaptable
======================
---8<-----------------

{ Volume adaptable EMA v1.0 }
{ EMA samples bars with above-avg Volume }

{ User inputs }
pds:=Input("EMA periods",1,2520,21);
x:=Input("use Open=1 High=2 Low=3 Close=4 WClose=5 P=6",1,6,4);
shift:=Input("EMA vertical shift %",
 -100,100,0)/100+1;
plot:=Input("[1]EMA,  [2]Data,  [3]Sampling bars, [4]Crossovers",1,4,
1);

{ Select price field }
x:=If(x=1,O,If(x=2,H,If(x=3,L,If(x=5,WC(),If(x=6,P,C)))));

{ Above average Volume points }
VolAvgPlus:=V>Mov(V,pds,E);

{ Select above-avg bars for EMA }
x:=ValueWhen(1,VolAvgPlus,x);

{ Reduce periodicity on low bar count }
pds:=If(pds>Cum(IsDefined(x)),
 Cum(IsDefined(x)),pds);

{ EMA }
Ema:=x*2/(pds+1)+PREV*(1-2/(pds+1));
Ema:=Ema*shift;

{ Crossover signals }
signals:=Cross(x,Ema)-Cross(Ema,x);

{ Plot on price chart }
If(plot=1,Ema,If(plot=2,x,
 If(plot=3,VolAvgPlus,signals)))
