Weighted Moving Average (20)

The Weighted Moving Average (20) is a moving averages indicator used in Skyrexio Strategy Builder for trend following and dynamic support/resistance.

Introduction

Assigns different weights to data points, with more recent prices receiving higher weights. More responsive than SMA but less smooth than EMA.

How Weighted Moving Average (20) Works

The Weighted Moving Average (WMA) assigns different weights to each price point, with the most recent price receiving the highest weight. The weight decreases linearly for older prices. Calculation: WMA = (P1×n + P2×(n-1) + ... + Pn×1) / (n + (n-1) + ... + 1).

In crypto strategy building, WMA is used for:

• Balanced responsiveness - More responsive than SMA but smoother than some EMAs • Trend following - Good for medium-term trend identification • Support/Resistance levels - Provides dynamic levels that adjust to recent price action • Crossover strategies - Similar to SMA but with faster signals

WMA gives more importance to recent data while still considering historical prices, making it useful when you want responsiveness without excessive noise.
