Weighted Moving Average (WMA) – FX Replay Guide

On FX Replay, the Weighted Moving Average (WMA) is a responsive trend-following tool that emphasizes recent price action more than a simple moving average (SMA). It’s ideal for identifying short-term trend changes and dynamic support/resistance zones.

How to Use It in FX Replay:

Add the Indicator:

• In the Indicators tab, search and add "WMA" to your chart.

Configure the Period:

• Common periods include 9, 20, or 50 depending on your trading style.
• A shorter WMA (e.g. 9) will respond more quickly to price changes.

Interpret Signals:

• WMA rising → Uptrend
• WMA falling → Downtrend
• Price crossing above WMA → Potential buy
• Price crossing below WMA → Potential sell

Combine with FX Replay Tools:

• Use the WMA as a dynamic support/resistance line when placing trades.
• Backtest setups using FX Replay’s replay function and Position Tool to measure R:R accurately.

Example Setup:

• Apply a 5-period WMA to your chart.
• Observe price crossing and bouncing around it.
• Combine with an ICT-style FVG zone or AMD cycle timing for high-confluence setups.
