Does anyone have code for Perry Kaufman's Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA) enumerated in Van Tharp's "Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom" and as well as Kaufman's books.

Formula is:
KAMA = alpha * close + (1-alpha) * KAMA[prev]
alpha = (ER * 0.6015 + 0.0645) ^ 2

abs (close[today] - close[10 days ago])
ER = --------------------------------------
Sum abs (close - close[prev])
past 10 days

A google search turns up a lot of code.

Here's TradeStation code:

Inputs: Period(Numeric);
Vars: Noise(0), Signal(0), Diff(0), efRatio(0), Smooth(1), Fastest(.6667), Slowest(.0645), AdaptMA(0);
Diff = AbsValue(Close - Close[1]);
IF CurrentBar <= Period Then AdaptMA = Close;
IF CurrentBar > Period Then Begin
Signal = AbsValue(Close - Close[Period]);
Noise = Summation(Diff, Period);
efRatio = Signal / Noise;
Smooth = Power(efRatio * (Fastest - Slowest) + Slowest, 2);
AdaptMA = AdaptMA[1] + Smooth * (Close - AdaptMA[1]);
End;
AMA = AdaptMA;

set{Noise , sum(Diff, 5 }
set{efRatio , Signal / Noise }
set{Smooth1 , efRatio * Diff }
set{Smooth2 , Smooth1 + Slowest }
set{Smooth , pow(Smooth2, 2) }
set{AdaptMA1 , close - AdaptMA 1 day ago }

Power? Do we have power?

Updated Sat Oct 13 (Sammy Hagar's Birthday - guess you know where I am...LOL!)

Ok.. we have power but ... will this code work since it references AdaptMA 1 day ago BEFORE IT IS DEFINED?? I don't think so...

It's a ROYAL PITA to try and optimize the settings on that AMA. I spent literally months working with it before I gave up. Gaussian filters are the best IMO.

Did anyone get results from that screen?

Rumpled One,

Can you please reproduce the entire filter so that I may back test it with other criteria?

yes, we do have power, but i am not sure how to do the next variable.

Fetcher[

set{Fastest, .6667 }
set{Slowest, .0645 }
set{Diff, abs( close - close 1 day ago)}
set{Signal, abs( close - close 5 days ago)}

set{Noise , sum(Diff, 5 )}
set{efRatio , Signal / Noise}

set{var1,fastest - slowest}
set{var2,var1 * efRatio}
set{var3,var2 + slowest}


set{Smooth ,pow(var3,2)}

add column var1
add column var2
add column var3
add column Smooth
