Perry Kaufman’s adaptive moving average with indicative (signal) points arrangement based on the standard mean-square deviation.
Signal points interpretation is as follows. In case the market goes flat, AMA indicator is placed horizontally and signal points are absent. In case there is a directional trend exceeding a mean-square deviation, a point of an appropriate color appears. That point is a signal for market entry or exit.
The following equation is used as a signal point positioning criteria:
AMA-AMA0 > StDev(AMA-AMA0,periodAMA)*dK
where:
- AMA-AMA0 – АМА last expansion;
- StDev(AMA – AMA0, periodAMA) – indicator extensions’ standard deviation for a period;
- dK – external parameter.
