The Adaptive Moving Average (AMA) adjusts its sensitivity based on market volatility — reacting quickly in trending periods and flattening during choppy price action. It combines elements of SMA and EMA with additional smoothing parameters, making it a more intelligent alternative to fixed-period moving averages.
This sample plots CSCO daily data as a line series and overlays two AMA indicators with different configurations: one with period 10, fast period 2, and slow period 30 in green (#6E9C4E), and another with period 20, fast period 4, and slow period 50 in orange (#E96A26). The chart features dual Y-axes, a synchronized line scroller, a range picker, and a range selector, covering December 2001 to September 2006.
