Weighted Moving Average (WMA) is one of the configurations of simple moving average which accounts not only for price values but also their weight. Elements with an account of their values are summed and divided for the sum of weights of those elements, thus, generally speaking, arithmetical average of those elements is calculated. It is accepted that weight changes according to linear function where W1 takes the largest weight and then calculation uses simple arithmetical progression, for instance: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...; (or any other: 0,5, 0,75, 1, 1,25). Such representation is called Linear Weighted Moving Average, (LWMA).
