Kaufman's Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA)

Double KAMA + VWMAThis study combines a fast and slow Kaufman Adaptive Moving Averages (KAMA) with a fast and slow Volume-Weighted Moving Average(VWMA). The KAMA is definitely one of our favorite moving averages because it takes into account volatility and filters out false signals during periods of insignificant or horizontal price movement. This results in more patient, less impulsive trading. At its most basic, the KAMA's value remains relatively close in value to the price when volatility is low then lags slightly behind it during highly volatile movements and larger trends. We've plotted two Kaufman's Adaptive Moving Averages: -The first KAMA is the slow KAMA, which we use as a trend filter. It is shown on the graph as the thicker solid line that alternates between green and red. When the trend filter KAMA is bullish, the line turns green. It then turns red when bearish. Users can adjust the lengths of the fast and slow EMA for the KAMA's calculation in the input option menu, but it is important to remember that the number of periods should remain high in comparison to the fast KAMA as this allows it to track long-term price movements and trends. -We then include a fast KAMA which has shorter EMA Lengths to focus in on movements within a smaller timeframe. NOTE: The fast KAMA is only plotted when the trend filter KAMA is generating bullish signals. It is shown as the alternating pink and teal line above the main green line. When the fast KAMA is increasing, its line and the area between it and the slow KAMA are filled teal. When the fast KAMA is falling, its line and the area between the fast and slow KAMA lines are colored pink. This helps with timing exits. Lastly, we've included a fast and slow VWMA to time long entries. These are only plotted when the Trend Filter KAMA is bearish. The fast VWMA is the teal solid line under the trend filter KAMA and the slow VWMA is the pink line. Optimal entries will occur when the fast VWMA crosses above the slow VWMA. When the slow VWMA is greater than the fast VWMA, the area between the two lines is filled red, while the same area is filled teal when the fast VWMA is greater than the slow. I've included entry signals (shown on the screenshot as the lime green background highlights), but this is the basic version of the indicator. If you're interested in taking a look at the full version with alerts and entry + exit signals, feel free to send us a message!

Bryant Adaptive Moving Average@ChartArt got my attention to this idea. This type of moving average was originally developed by Michael R. Bryant (Adaptrade Software newsletter, April 2014). Mr. Bryant suggested a new approach, so called Variable Efficiency Ratio (VER), to obtain adaptive behaviour for the moving average. This approach is based on Perry Kaufman' idea with Efficiency Ratio (ER) which was used by Mr. Kaufman to create KAMA. As result Mr. Bryant got a moving average with adaptive lookback period. This moving average has 3 parameters: Initial lookback Trend Parameter Maximum lookback The 2nd parameter, Trend Parameter can take any positive or negative value and determines whether the lookback length will increase or decrease with increasing ER. Changing Trend Parameter we can obtain KAMA' behaviour To learn more see www.adaptrade.com

Zerolag KAMA MACDExperimental Zero Lag Adjusted KAMA based MACD. Uses Kaufman's Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA) instead of the standard EMAs to calculate the MACD with an optional application of the zero lag adjustment. Significant differences in momentum changes (zero line crossovers), often earlier signal line crossovers and differences in divergences. Chart displays : Top : Zero lag adjusted KAMA based MACD Middle : Unadjusted KAMA based MACD Bottom : Standard MACD

Market Status Moving AverageGet a quick easy view of the current market status. Examples used above are lengths 6 and 15, but you can tweak to your liking. Want to stop sweating the small stuff and see the bigger picture? Try increasing the length to 50, 100 etc Green = Bullish Orange = Consolidation / Flat Red = Bearish -------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out some of our other recent releases below :

MA Study: Different Types and More [NeoButane]A study of moving averages that utilizes different tricks I've learned to optimize them. Included is Bollinger Bands, Guppy (GMMA) and Super Guppy. The method used to make it MtF should be more precise and smoother than regular MtF methods that use the security function. For intraday timeframes, each number represents each hour, with 24 equal to 1 day. For daily, 3 is 3 day, for weekly, 4 is the 4 weekly, etc. If you're on a higher timeframe than the one selected, the length will not change. Log-space is used to make calculations work on many cryptos. The rules for color changing Guppy is changed to make it not as choppy on MAs other than EMA. Note that length does not affect SWMA and VWAP and source does not affect VWAP. A short summary of each moving average can be found here: medium.com List of included MAs: ALMA: Arnaud Legoux Double EMA EMA: Exponential Hull MA KAMA: Kaufman Adaptive Linear Regression Curve LSMA: Least Squares SMA: Simple SMMA/RMA: Smoothed/Running SWMA: Symm.

KAMA: Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average x2/LogCalculation begins at the beginning of the bar, eliminating incorrect moving average weighting at the very beginning of the ticker you're watching. This is important for new stocks, futures, altcoins, etc. The inputs for the fast/slow alphas are now normal integers, with the calculation (2 / (y + 1)) for alpha added after input. Comes with two moving averages and a setting for geometric mean/log. Source is adjustable but using the close works best, especially with how this particular MA is calculated in the first place. Besides that, this is mostly the same as other KAMAs on TradingView, but I'd like to say I put a bit more care into this one. It is important to know that the acceptable length for KAMA is within the boundaries of the alpha lengths. For example, the default lengths are 2 and 30 for alpha, so the acceptable length for KAMA is within 2-30. stockcharts.com www.technicalindicators.net

Kaufman Moving Average Adaptive (KAMA) StrategyEveryone wants a short-term, fast trading trend that works without large losses. That combination does not exist. But it is possible to have fast trading trends in which one must get in or out of the market quickly, but these have the distinct disadvantage of being whipsawed by market noise when the market is volatile in a sideways trending market. During these periods, the trader is jumping in and out of positions with no profit-making trend in sight. In an attempt to overcome the problem of noise and still be able to get closer to the actual change of the trend, Kaufman developed an indicator that adapts to market movement. This indicator, an adaptive moving average (AMA), moves very slowly when markets are moving sideways but moves swiftly when the markets also move swiftly, change directions or break out of a trading range.
