About The Trading Indicators
The i-AMA-Optimum.ex4 is an optimized version of the Kaufman’s Adaptive Moving Average (AMA) that was originally developed by Perry Kaufman and finds use on short and long periods.
The Hull-Moving-Average.ex4 is a popular trend following indicator that is designed on the moving averages with period 21.
It tries to remove lag altogether and succeeds in enhancing smoothing concurrently.
The BSTrend.ex4 is one of the most valuable trend finder indicators that deploys colored bars within its indicator window to define bullish (deep sky blue) and bearish (violet) market sentiments.
