I think that they are not vwaps... they probably are volme weighted MA`s...

These are a different breed of vwap, they are also a bit like an ema.
How do you describe it??
Its more like an ema of the price, using a weighting factor derived from a volume average, but don't hold me to that, I'm grasping for words here.

Some good news, looks like MT4 has an internal function for doing SDs which will help fix the slowdown problem that the other platforms were having. Variance is just the square of the Standard Deviation so the two are like cousins, but with the platform crunching SDs internally, it will work much much faster than computing variance the slow way inside an indicator program.

Midas is an amazing concept, getting rid of the time variable altogether and using volume in its place.
When I can get my head around it, I think that will answer some difficult questions for me that are all about reading the market. Could be very powerful if understood and exploited properly, you have a good eye for this stuff.

Re: Playing with the VMAR`s open research

Question time.
I have only found eld vwap files and they are encripted so I cant read them.
Need an idea about what user settings are needed especially for starting or restarting at what(?) location.

eg Looks like jperl was using a 51 bar setting on 2min chart for volume distribution history so I assume vwap used the same setting, so if we use 1min chart, that means start on current bar and read previous 102 bars (2hrs) of data.

Alternative is to have a user setting for "start x bars back from current bar"
and sample "y bars of history".

What controls do you need to get the thing to start/restart on a pivot point or time or price or back/forward x bars, what???
