Weighted Linear Trend Volume Forecasting

What is Weighted Linear Trend Volume Forecasting?

---

This indicator applies the same weighted linear regression technique to volume data instead of price. By fitting a weighted trend line through recent volume (with exponential decay of 0.98) and extending it one bar forward, it predicts whether trading activity is likely to increase or decrease next. That matters because volume changes often come before price changes — if the model predicts rising volume, it's a sign that growing market interest could push prices higher. Like its price counterpart, this indicator is GPU-accelerated for fast, consistent calculations.

How Does It Work?

---

The bot performs weighted linear regression on recent volume data with exponential decay. The regression fits a trend line through volume history, heavily weighting recent data. It extends one period forward to predict next volume. When predicted volume exceeds current volume, the bot signals Buy — anticipating increased market activity. When predicted volume is lower, it signals Sell. Requires a minimum 120-period lookback.

Use it alongside the price-based WLT Forecast indicator for a dual forecasting strategy that predicts both price and volume direction simultaneously. Make sure your decision rounds setting provides 120+ periods of data for reliable regression.

Tips for Beginners

---

• Predicted rising volume is often an early warning that a price move is coming — this indicator helps you get ahead of it.

• Pair with the price-based WLT Forecast for a comprehensive dual-prediction strategy covering both price and volume direction.

• GPU acceleration makes this practical even when monitoring many assets at once — no performance concerns.
