About The Trading Indicators
The i-AMA-Optimum is an enhanced version of the Kaufman’s Adaptive Moving Average (AMA) that was formerly developed by Perry Kaufman and finds use on short and long periods.
The HMA_v2 custom indicator displays a dotted line on the chart, wherein the color of the dots are altered in relation to buy/sell signals.
The Holt_double_exponential_smoothing_trend.ex4 is a form of an “on-chart average like” custom indicator that can forecast trend.
The indicator oscillates above (buy) or below (sell) its signal level, i.e. the 0.00 level.
