Weighted moving average is calculated by multiplying each one of the closing prices within the considered series, by a certain weight coefficient. LWMA = SUM(Close(i)*i, N)/SUM(i, N) Where: SUM(i, N) — is the total sum of weight coefficients. // lwma k=pos; for(i=1;i<=period;i++,k--) { price=_wma[k]; sum+=price*i; lsum+=price; weight+=i; } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Linear Weighted Moving Average | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ void lwma() { double sum=0.0,lsum=0.0; double price; int i,weight=0,pos=Bars-ExtCountedBars-1; //---- initial accumulation if(pos=0) { VolBuffer3[pos]=sum/weight; if(pos==0) break; pos--; i--; price=Volume[pos]; sum=sum-lsum+price*MA_Period; lsum-=Volume[i]; lsum+=price; } //---- zero initial bars if(ExtCountedBars<1) for(i=1;i
