Adaptive Market Levels Using Fractal Smoothing and a Discrete Filter

Article MQL5 code base
Read the original

Summary

The AML indicator is described as a way to display reference prices for the current market state and help identify when the market is moving sideways. Its method uses fractal adaptive smoothing, associated with FRAMA, together with a discrete filter that suppresses minor price changes when relative movement within a specified interval stays below a threshold tied to the interval’s dimension.

The document explains the intended use and gives brief implementation history, but it does not specify the filter in reproducible mathematical detail, define parameters, or provide examples, test results, or evidence that the levels improve trading decisions. It is therefore a conceptual description of a technical indicator rather than a complete strategy or validated signal.

Key ideas

  • AML displays reference prices intended to characterize the current market state.
  • The indicator is intended to help identify flat market conditions.
  • Its smoothing combines a fractal adaptive method with a discrete filter for small movements.
  • The document does not provide parameter details or performance evidence.
