Pattern-based trading strategies are one of the most popular types of trading strategies out there. Newbies are especially drawn towards these types of strategies.
Using moving averages are one of the best tools to use when trying to identify areas where price could retrace to. You could either use a single moving average and weight for the price to retrace to the area around that particular moving average or use multiple moving averages and use the area between those moving averages as an area where price could retrace to. This is because even on a strongly trending market, the price would still come back to the mean or the average. This is what retracement is all about.
The idea of Volume weighted MA MT5 Forex trading indicator is in giving the bar with a greater volume a greater weight in averaging. The volumes are summed for the ‘Length’ period, then the volume of each bar is divided by the sum — this is the weight of each bar.
