public VHF(DataSeries source, int period, string description)

Parameter Description

source Price series
period Indicator calculation period

Description

The Vertical Horizontal Filter was introduced by Adam White in 1991 and is used to determine if prices are trending or are in a congestion stage. It is calculated by dividing the difference in the sums of highest and lowest values by the sum of the absolute values of daily price differences. Typically a period of 28 is used for VHF.

Interpretation

VHF describes how strongly prices are trending. The higher the VHF value, the stronger the trend.
