Weighted Volume ROC Oscillator
Weighted Volume ROC Oscillator (WVRO | MisinkoMaster)
The Weighted Volume ROC Oscillator is a sophisticated trend-following tool that leverages a volume-weighted Rate of Change (ROC) calculation on a double-smoothed source. Designed to capture both trend direction and strength with minimal noise, this oscillator also highlights potential reversal points, making it an effective tool for fast-moving markets like ETHUSD.
By combining volume weighting with advanced smoothing techniques, the WVRO provides a responsive yet stable indicator to help traders make more informed decisions during trending conditions.
🔍 Concept & Idea
The core idea behind the WVRO is to develop a high-speed oscillator capable of smoothly following trends while remaining sensitive to rapid changes. The ROC is a natural choice for momentum measurement, but raw ROC alone can be noisy.
To improve stability and responsiveness:
The input source is smoothed twice using Weighted Moving Averages (WMA) with a length proportional to the square root of the user-defined length, reducing noise while preserving fast reactions.
The ROC is then weighted by volume to emphasize price movements during high-volume periods, increasing the significance of meaningful trades.
Finally, a volume-weighted average of the ROC is calculated to normalize the signal.
This combination balances smoothness and speed, improving signal clarity in trending markets.
⚙️ How It Works
Double WMA Smoothing of Source:
First, apply a WMA with length √len to the selected source to filter noise but retain responsiveness.
Apply a second WMA with the same length to the first smoothed series for additional smoothing.
Volume-Weighted ROC Calculation:
Calculate ROC on the double-smoothed source over one bar.
Multiply the ROC by the current volume, weighting price changes by trading activity.
Normalization and Oscillator Computation:
Calculate an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the volume-weighted ROC over the full length.
Divide by the sum of volume over the same length to normalize, then scale to a range centered near zero.
Trend Logic:
Positive WVRO values indicate bullish momentum (trend up).
Negative values indicate bearish momentum (trend down).
Momentum Divergence:
The difference between the current WVRO and its prior value is smoothed with EMA and plotted as a histogram to help identify potential momentum shifts and reversals.
🧩 Inputs Overview
Oscillator Length – Controls the main smoothing and lookback length of the oscillator (default 17).
Source – The price source used for calculation, defaulting to the average of high, low, close, and close (hlcc4).
📌 Usage Notes
Responsive Yet Smooth: The double WMA smoothing ensures the oscillator is less prone to noise but remains quick to react to market changes.
Volume Weighting: Emphasizes price moves on higher volume bars, improving signal reliability in volatile markets.
Trend Identification: Positive and negative readings provide clear trend signals, while divergence histograms highlight potential turning points.
Visual Clarity: Color-coded plots and background highlighting assist quick interpretation.
Optimized for ETHUSD: Especially effective in high-liquidity, high-volatility assets like Ethereum.
Complement with Other Tools: Use alongside price action or other indicators to confirm trends and entry/exit points.
Backtest and Validate: Always validate settings on your chosen asset and timeframe before live use.
