Volume Weighted MA Digit System Strategy

This strategy replicates the Volume Weighted MA Digit System. It builds two volume weighted moving averages (VWMA) based on candle highs and lows. The price crossing these bands provides trading signals.

How It Works

  1. Indicators
    • VWMA High: VWMA applied to candle highs.
    • VWMA Low: VWMA applied to candle lows.
  2. Signals
    • Long Entry: Close price crosses above VWMA High.
    • Short Entry: Close price crosses below VWMA Low.
    • Opposite cross closes open positions.
  3. Risk Management
    • Uses built‑in StartProtection with configurable stop loss and take profit (points).

Parameters

Name Description Default
VwmaPeriod VWMA calculation length 12
CandleType Candle timeframe used for calculation 4h
StopLoss Stop loss in points 1000
TakeProfit Take profit in points 2000

Notes

  • Only closed candles are processed.
  • Strategy uses high level API features such as SubscribeCandles, Bind and standard indicators.
  • Original MQL strategy: Exp_Volume_Weighted_MA_Digit_System.mq5.
