Hello.
I'm glad you like this indicator.
I didn't even notice that I put this pack in that indicator, some average type were really experimental, like this Follow MA.
Explanation, very similar to the ema channel as you can see from the picture.
Candles and channel lines are from 34 Ema.
And onchart Follow ma 34 period (blue/yellow) line is very close on it (the neutral part is omitted)..
As I said, only experimenting with code, but if you like it, why not

.
It's great when coders can test ideas and put it to work.

I think these tested algorithms are quite overwhelming for an indicator with a simple formula like TSV. Other types of averages take up to 100 periods to deducted volatiltiy to achieve similar shape compare to 20 periods of Follow ma or Swing line, eventho the smoothness still cannot catch up with the ladder behavior, but divergence detection somewhat better.
What i mean is some characteristics of the indicator are overshadowed with new experimental average types, but yeah, that's not too much of a problem for algorithmic traders who want coherent signals, eliminate noise without the need of other figurative signals.
Before hearing your explanation, I was a bit skeptical when the results were quite similar to some moving averages applied directly to prices. But yeah, since it is still a volume indicator, we can see it as a volume weighted ma type and sometimes there is still a small divergence.
