This Momentum indicator was described in article "Optimizing the Pulse" by Anthony W. Warren in the S & C magazine in April, 1994.

It has nine input parameters:

  • First MA period - first MA calculation period
  • First MA method - first MA calculation method
  • Second MA period - second MA calculation period

  • Third MA period - third MA calculation period
  • Third MA method - third MA calculation method
  • Signal MA period - signal line calculation period
  • Signal MA method - signal line calculation method
  • Applied price - calculation price

Calculation:

WAMI = MA(MA2, Third MA period, Third MA method)
Signal = MA(WAMI, Signal MA period, Signal MA method)

where: 

MA2 = MA(MA1, Second MA period, Second MA method)
MA1 = MA(Difference, First MA period, First MA method)

where: 

Difference = Price - PrevPrice
