Weighted close

What does Weighted close measure?

A single price for the candle that leans toward where it finished, since the close is usually the most meaningful point of the session.

How is Weighted close calculated?

Add the high, the low and twice the close, and divide by four.

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 Weighted close in a bot?

In the builder, add an indicator of type weighted_close. 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.
