Teresa, that's an interesting post. If you look at the ISpec archives on my older charts (> 5 months old) you'll see a couple of different adaptive moving averages on many of them. armaniman is dead on - the AMA's slow right down during periods of consolidations - often dead flat, and much much more responsively than other indicators. I'll resurrect Kauffman's AMA from the archive as well as another AMA I have hiding and post some charts for the thread to examine.

<font color=blue>The Need for Speed, Cont'd: More contributions from eGroups member: OK, first we have to define what "speed" is. I take it that it is something else than just momentum. If it were momentum-related then it would be easily defined as: ( current price - price at pivot ) / days since pivot But from what you write it seems that what you want is DI+ with a length equal to the number of days since the pivot Have I understood "speed" correctly? Peter = REPLY = I think so, yes! (And -DI on a downswing since the pivot) Basically, I want to know how fast it is going in one direction since the pivot. For example, from the point where a downswing changes to an upswing, I want to measure how fast it is moving in the up direction. If it's only "grinding" up (meaning a couple of up bars followed by a couple of down bars with net movement in one direction, but it takes a lot of bars to get there) then I am not interested in taking a trade. I'm interested in the high speed directional move (meaning, 4-5 up bars followed by 1-2 down bars, with net movement in one direction being covered in a small number of bars). Got some ideas? Teresa
