!INPUTS FOR INDICATOR:
emaLen is 6.
wilderLen is 14.

!INDICATOR FORMULAS:
ema is expavg([close],emaLen).
pDif is iff([close] - ema > 0,[volume],0).
nDif is iff([close] - ema < 0,[volume],0).

rsiLen is 2 * wilderLen - 1.
AvgU  is expavg(pDif,rsiLen).
AvgD  is expavg(nDif,rsiLen).
svsi is 100-(100/(1+(AvgU/AvgD))). !PLOT 
The code provided for the slow volume strength index (SVSI) may be plotted as an indicator, as shown in Figure 6.
