The PipTick VWATR indicator is a useful tool for measuring market activity. It is based on the idea of volume-weighted ATR. The combination of these two elements helps to determine possible turning points or convenient moments for a breakout. The indicator uses a moving average and its coefficients to classify market activity. Accordingly, the area where the VWATR bar is located (relative to the moving average) is marked as ultra-low, low, medium, high, very high, or ultra-high. The PipTick VWATR indicator is presented as a histogram.
This indicator calculates the moving average in four ways:
- SMA-Simple Moving Average
- SMMA-Smoothed Moving Average
- EMA-Exponential Moving Average
- LWMA-Linear-weighted moving average
By default, there are six user-configurable zones. The bar of the histogram is colored in a certain color, depending on which zone corresponds to the VWATR.
- Ultra-low VWATR zone-crimson color
- Low VWATR zone – White color
- Medium VWATR zone-turquoise color
- High VWATR zone – Dark sky blue
- Very High VWATR Zone-Royal Blue
- Ultra-high VWATR zone – Blue
- Simple classification of market activity
- Multiple calculation methods to choose from
- Calculation of real and tick volume
- The zone ranges are selected by the user
- Works on all timeframes (M1, M5, M15, M30, H1, H4, D1, W1, MN)
- Fast and reliable indicator
- Configurable parameters (color, line thickness, period MA…)
- It can be used to create an Expert Advisor
- Designed for MT4 and MT5
