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;

Power? Do we have power?

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.

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