Adaptive Deviation is an educational/conceptual indicator that is a new spin on the regular old standard deviation. By definition, the Standard Deviation (STD, also represented by the Greek letter sigma σ or the Latin letter s) is a measure that is used to quantify the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of data values. In technical analysis we usually...
The Adaptive Rebound Line (ARL) focuses on the rebound of price action according to the trend. While it does not focus on showing the trend, it does help in anticipating price rebounds. It achieves this by adapting quickly and by reducing lag. It is recommended to use this with a trend-identifying indicator. It was inspired by the Hull Moving Average and the...
Average True Range (ATR) is widely used indicator in many occasions for technical analysis. It is calculated as the RMA of true range. This version adds a "twist": it uses Perry Kaufman's Efficiency Ratio to calculate adaptive true range You can use this indicator the same way you'd use the standard ATR.
Efficiency ratio was invented by Perry Kaufman as a measure of volatility and as a way of making some calculations adaptive. In his adaptive moving average he uses 3 periods for calculation which makes it a bit "cryptic" and, by all means, not so simple to use. This version is simplifying the whole thing without an intention to clone the KAMA indicator--but with...
Adaptive Parabolic SAR (PSAR) is an advanced Parabolic SAR with adaptive adjustments using either a Kaufman or an Ehlers smoothing algorithms. What is the Parabolic SAR? The parabolic SAR attempts to give traders an edge by highlighting the direction an asset is moving, as well as providing entry and exit points. In this article, we'll look at the basics of...
DSS of Advanced Kaufman AMA is a double smoothed stochastic oscillator using a Kaufman adaptive moving average with the option of using the Jurik Fractal Dimension Adaptive calculation. This helps smooth the stochastic oscillator thereby making it easier to identify reversals and trends. What is the double smoothed stochastic? The Double Smoothed Stochastic...
Parabolic SAR of KAMA attempts to reduce noise and volatility from regular Parabolic SAR in order to derive more accurate trends. In addition, and to further reduce noise and enhance trend identification, PSAR of KAMA includes two calculations of efficiency ratio: 1) price change adjusted for the daily volatility; or, 2) Jurik Fractal Dimension Adaptive...
Goichi Hosoda's "Ichimoku Kinkō Hyō" is a widely used Trend Following indicator and can be defined as a "system" rather than an indicator. Published in the late 1960's, consisting of 5 lines. TenkanSen (Conversion Line) = of the last 9 bars KijunSen (Base Line) = of the last 26 bars SenkouSpanA (Leading Span A) = Average of Tenkan&KijunSen shifted -> 26...
Kaufman's Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA) KAMA was developed by Perry Kaufman to give better directions of short term market trends. Idea is similar to an EMA, but it makes adjustments to the smoothing factor by taking Market Noise into consideration. Levels of noise in KAMA is modelled using Kaufman's Efficiency Ratio . The problem with traditional of...
This is a strategy taken from Perry Kaufman's book, Trading Systems and Methods. Just like the title says, it's a breakout strategy. It works by buying when the current high is higher than the last pivot high, and selling when the low is lower than the last pivot low. It does not have a good success probability, and relies on the good reward to risk ratio....
The best collection of moving averages anywhere. I know, because I searched, couldn't find the right collection, and so wrote it myself! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notable features that either aren't found anywhere else...or at least in one...
The Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average was created by Perry Kaufman and this is a variation of that original formula created by John Ehlers. I have included a side by side with an original script (blue line) done by @HPotter that shows that Ehlers version is slightly more reactive compared to the original version. I have included strong buy and sell signals in...
Shows the slope of KAMA by comparing last bar KAMA value to current bar KAMA value. Very simple, yet very effective determining the trend or volatility of market. When slope is very small market can be in range, hence it can be used as volatility filter for trend traders.
The efficiency ratio (ER) is described by Perry Kaufman in his book, Trading Systems and Methods. It works by measuring the momentum of the market, that is, the absolute change from the current price to a past price, and divides it by the volatility, which is the sum of the absolute changes of each bar. That makes this a bounded indicator, going from 0 to 100,...
Level: 2 Background Kaufman’s Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA) was developed by American quantitative financial theorist Perry J. Kaufman in 1998. The technique began in 1972 but Kaufman officially presented it to the public much later through his book, “Trading Systems and Methods.” Unlike other moving averages, Kaufman’s Adaptive Moving Average accounts not only...
Many traders believe that the moving averages are favorite tools and analysts have spent decades trying to improve moving averages partiularly the simple moving average. One way to address the disadvantages of moving averages is to multiply the weighting factor by a volatility ratio which is called Adaptive moving averages. This indicator uses an special adaptive...
shows and fills corssings of two KAMA. One with signal liength of 10, and the other 50.
This strategy combines Kaufman's Adaptive Moving Average for entry with optional KAMA, PSAR, and Trailing ATR stops for exits. Kaufman's Adaptive Moving Average is, in my opinion, a gem among the plethora of indicators. It is underrated considering it offers a solution that intuitively makes a lot of sense. When I first read about it, it was a real 'aha!'...
