What does Ease of movement measure?

How easily price moved for the volume it took. Big moves on light volume score high — the market gave way without a fight.

How is Ease of movement calculated?

For each candle, take how far the midpoint shifted from the previous candle, multiply by the candle's height, and divide by its volume. Then average those over 14 candles.

Written by reading the engine’s real computation, not a textbook — where the two differ, the page describes what actually runs.

How do I use Ease of movement in a bot?

In the builder, add an indicator of type emv (parameters: length, default 14). Its value becomes an operand you can compare in any entry or exit rule. The engine grades the whole rule honestly: real fills, no look-ahead, half the history held back.
