I saw your post on adaptive moving averages and did a quick search for that phrase. Seems that a number of software vendors supply that indicator or some variation thereof. I am listing 3 sites for your information and the benefit of anyone else on the thread who may be interested. I would be interested in knowing if your continued backtesting produces superior results. equis.com acds.com jurikres.com walker

Sam: Don't know if I still have that article. But here is the formula for adaptive MA's in MetaStock: Periods:= Input("Time Periods",1,1000, 10); xxx:=Input("FastSC",1,10,2); yyy:=Input("SlowSC",10,200,30); Direction:= CLOSE - Ref(CLOSE,-periods); Volatility:= Sum(Abs(ROC(CLOSE,1,$)),periods); ER:= Abs(Direction/Volatility); FastSC:= 2/(xxx + 1); SlowSC:= 2/(yyy + 1); SSC:= ER * (FastSC - SlowSC) + SlowSC; Constant:= Pwr(SSC,2); AMA:= If(Cum(1) = periods +1, Ref(CLOSE,-1) + constant * (CLOSE - Ref(CLOSE,-1)),PREV + constant * (CLOSE - PREV)); John
